The civilians were bunched up behind the soldiers, each carrying whatever supplies they could. Mileva, Grorik, and the six soldiers left from her regiment crowded around the door, swords drawn. Mileva was holding a small metal cannister- a gift from the Boros Legion/ Izzet league collaboration known as the Warmind Inititative.
"Well," she said to her men. "It's been an honor serving with you."
She threw open the door and hurled the canister. Lightning snaked out of it, enveloping the four shining blue skeletal forms that had been banding at the door and stunning them for long enough for the soldiers to get out. There were more zombies behind them of course, but Mileva and her soldiers rushed them, hoping to make a whole large enough for the civilians to get through.
It was a vain hope, Mileva realized, bracing herself against her shield. But then she heard a beautiful sound- hoofbeats. Lots of them.
Five, Six, no Seven Centaurs rushed down the alley, mowing over the startled Zombies. Maybe the Boros hadn't been able to send reinforcement, but it looked like the Selesnya Conclave had. At their center was a fierce warrior the like of which Mileva had never seen before. A giant cat, but shaped like a person, wielding a huge double-sided axe, slicing down zombies while tossing healing and reinforcing magic at the centaurs. Some kind of new Simic construct maybe? Or some creature from so far away she'd never even heard of them?
Or could it be one of those beings from another world, the ones the rumors had been circulating about for years?
"Get them to safety!" Ajani told Mileva, "We'll handle this."
As she led her people to the tunnel, Mileva reflected on her strange savior. The people of Ravnica could never fight back this threat on their own. But maybe these visitors would come to their aid...
