The guards were easily two of the most weapon happy guards Kessler had met in a very long time. It had been two days since he had been back in the village, so apparently the village head was losing his mind faster than Kessler thought. This wasn't good as now he was going to have to figure out what had happened in the village while he was gone, hopefully the wind hadn't claimed the lives of anymore animals, let alone any persons. No matter what Kessler said, these two guards seemed so hell bent on making sure that the girl and him paid for trying to enter and trying to leave the village. When did such simple and trivial matters become ones of life and death? This wind was destroying everything in it's path and if it wasn't destroyed right on scene, it would slowly crumble away over time. The animals may be dying first but that's only physically, mentally the people were already dead, something that Kessler hadn't realized until now. He started to pay attention though when one guard focused in on the girl and the other on him, but he wasn't worried about protecting himself.
The girl sparked Kessler's interest right away though, the way she was staring down the guard in front of her. It wasn't just a bold notion of thinking she could handle him either, Kessler saw from her eyes that she really could be able to take down the guard, in fact, with closer examination, Kessler could see the "claws" forming behind her. He stook a step forward which the guard near him didn't like and then exclaimed...
"She's got powers too"
Kessler's eyes went grey and he turned to face the guard nearest him. The guard charged as Kessler and led with his spear into Kessler's chest, which had turned into solid stone, breaking the man's weapon. As he looked into Kessler's eyes with fear, he didn't notice that his right fist was also solid stone, it would be the last thing he noticed as Kessler punched him in the chest, sending him flying high across the town.
