Pillars of the world.

[-Alucard]

((occ looks Like Alucard is not yet seated forgive me other folks Roush seems to be itching for a fight.))

The man decided threw a bright light up and tried for a flurry of motion Alucard rather then stand still was already air borne well before the mans swing would have connected with his hip and he felt the rush of air as the blade missed his feet. Next the Shadow Aesir channeled his energy from his blade into a sphere of darkness which he wrapped around the mans head cutting off his sight. Next the he quickly threw up a defensive ward of his own and for a split second a purple bubble appeared around him then faded.

Staying air borne out of reach of the mans melee attacks he summoned another ball of energy into his hand weaving. Drawing on his own life force and the powers contained in his gauntlet of shadow energies he created a dome of energies surrounding the man on the ground like a cage. "That was a rather foolish move. Both attacking me and trying your charms on someone accompanying another. Where I come from those are grounds for execution."

[-Darshe]

"Well don't I just have the devil's luck at stepping in poo." Corvina muttered as Leopold started into a explanation as to just what sort of mess everyone had gathered for. Rather than sit she chose to remain standing, no way she was sitting in a chair some guy had made and could clearly alter at will.

She didn't know what the hell the old man was rambling about but it sounded important. Either important or the raving of a madman....she wasn't sure which since from the subtle theatrics she reasoned he had a fair amount of power.

Now she didn't know much about these ancients but powerful people rambling about secrets and lies usually ended with a lot of dead people.

So, the situation was: Old guys raving about ancient secrets somehow gathered this lot together with the intent of revealing some secret.....She sighed heavily. Ancient secrets were usually best left alone. The world worked just fine without knowing them didn't it? But what if these guys went into these ruins and woke up colossus junior or something else left behind when the city was destroyed?

There was also still the question of what the hell all these undead were doing here. The place was supposed to have been annihilated glassed even. Had something moved in after the fact?

Ugh. It was irritating but the decision to go was practically made for her by her curiosity. Never mind that it looked like this was going to take them underground, bows and underground didn't exactly mesh well.

But more importantly this group didn't seem to mesh well. She could see the beginnings of a fight amongst them already.There was a good chance their internal conflicts would get someone killed.

She looked at Leo "It looks like this won't go very far. They're ready to take each other out never mind anything else." Her curiosity was a powerful thing but doomed quests were most certainly not something she was interested in.

[-Roush]

The darkness around his head was cleared away when he jumped back. When he saw the cage forming around him he moved quickly yet again, drawing his blade and slamming into ((what I'm assuming are dark lances or a sort of unholy armor?)) the energies around him, drawing on his strength that let him break through magical barriers.

He looked up at the man, dropping into a stance he was more familiar with. He pulled his right arm back, pointing his katana up at the aggressive man, his left hand by the tip of his blade.

"Ha! Well you put a blade in my face first. The way I see it, you made the first aggressive move, I replied in kind. No one here is hurt. I see no reason to continue this."

Taejin's smile crossed his face as he looked up at the man, highly amused.

"Besides, this isn't where you come from. And I had no way of knowing that you were with her. Shall we recall the chain of events? I see a beautiful woman. I say hello. You, for no reason, draw a blade on me. I protect myself and then draw on you. Tit for tat. THEN you try to imprison me? From where I come from, I only defended myself from an over-aggressive and jealous man, who then tried to attack me yet again. So where I stand, thats assault on your part. And graciousness on mine for not already attacking you again."

[-Davina]

Eve reacts quickly as the flash of light begins Damnit to hell in a hand basket Knowing Lord Dalv is fully capable of handling himself she turns her back to the two men and creates a wall of air between herself and the fighting. Looking at the people assembled and now starting to look at her she smiles politely "Sorry for the disturbance."


((Not sure how this is ending but I'm not going to stand and get bbq'd by either of them!!! ))

[-Salamel Umeadrion]

A single wall wasn't going to stop either of them. It was completely true that the wall was indestructible; the magic held a very close knitting to that of watersilver and followed many of the same laws, but when the condensed arcana winked into being and slid along a path between the two combatants, it was plain to see by the size of it that the spell was restricted to being symbolic in nature.

The orange glow from the transparent vind magic cast an eerie light over both of them. The strange thrum of the active manifestation was foreboding, and told of the immense power that had gone into it. That power could alternatively be used to fuel a rather dangerous slew of spells, capable of annihilating both parties from the world entirely. While Salamel was under strict orders to obey the Aesir's shadow counterpart, he was almost positive that if the worst case scenario became reality, he would be forgiven for wiping Alucard from the face of the planet. This other person was someone unknown to him, and so inconsequential to his aims and means.

The Lady Davina apologized before Salamel could eek out the words. Embarrassing. It was embarrassing to have one's proposed lord and master acting as a child would, and that this happened at all in front of Leopold and Rishard was almost more than he could bear. If not for the seven thousand years of practicing patience that he had had, Salamel may just have been pushed to the brink in that instant of turmoil.

The old man was squinting at the Aesir now. One eye twitched, and that perpetual frown that he wore was turned an even deeper shade of gray on his face.

Whatever the case of property rights over the lady may have been in the shadow realm - because perhaps he did in fact own her, body and soul - that was hardly an excuse to make a mockery of the old wizard here and now over something so trivial as a woman's good graces and a flirtatious eye.

Similarly, no one was allowed to step against the Aesir without punishment. Salamel believed it to be completely within his and his lord's right to eliminate any target. What Alucard lacked in this instance was the logical motive, and that stirred the old man's temper more than anything else. Absolutely, he refused to work under the obscene, the idiotic, and the remorseful.

It wasn't that Alucard was going to murder some random person for crossing him... It was that he lacked any logical explanation for it that Salamel could readily find outside of a very human jealousy. Jealousy is an emotional response that the young and the stupid experience, and therefor not a very good reason to instigate a situation at a place and time like this one. He had shown a distinct lack of control for even caring that his property was being ogled. There was always the possibility that laws and social expectations in the shadow realm starkly differed from those of Redemption. Salamel was not in the mood to entertain any such explanations, however.

"If you're both through," he said hotly, and turned away.

The orange barrier cracked and shattered into a hundred thousand soft tiny lights that quickly evaporated on the air.

[-Ezekiel]

OOC: Really guys? I had this running through my while reading your posts...
====================================================

Richard and I exchanged glances as the younger men had their scuffle before the young lady intervened. All this over one woman? And not exactly one that caught Richard or my attention. Sure we noticed, but you get to certain age when you know what captures your attention and what you will pass a gaze over. Shrugging Richard and I both muttered "Amateurs" under our breath before my shorter comrade took a step forward after Salamel had attempted to bring both men to the real world.

"Honestly, you pick here and now of all places to decide to have a contest to see who had the largest balls? Very silly. If you keep it up I'll castrate you myself and I'll do it in such a way that you won't even notice until you wedding tackle is trickling out of your pant legs." He said, his tone chilled me slightly, it was matronly and warm. Which was bad, ever dealt with a matron before? They come across as a lovely lady, who you love dearly but come between her and her ward and she'll rip you apart faster than a wife with mood swings and a chocolate cake.

"Salamel" I said as I deposited myself into a chair and lounged in it. "Other than bringing children with you, do you wish to add anything more to what I have said? We should hurry, I've knocked the front door, I doubt the Elves who still live here will be as polite as they have been so far."

[-DamagedHero]

(ooc- I think this post will end up with my guy getting hated/killed.)

Kai nearly jumped at feeling Pandora's arm around him and her voice speaking to him to calm down "He's an old bastard named Leopold Crowley and a smart guy... if i have to admit it...then yeah he's really smart and knows a lot about ancient stuff..." Kai did that to calm down as he felt it was odd how Pandora kept being able to change his mood... Kai blushed as he thought this as well as he knew he had to keep his head and sat down next to Pandora as he sighed looking at the others again before looking at Leopold. Kai had sat there listening to everything, to Leopold and his speech on Remus, Kerlock, Creed, and history he had found it generally interesting though most of it he knew from Kerlock himself.... or what was left of him Kai's eyes drifted over the others then went towards the pillars as he stopped and stared at them, they were a mystery... Why, who or what had put them here and as Kai came back to hearing that man Taejin and one of the others fight over the pretty lady.

Kai stood up and stretched yawning rather loudly and rudely as he smiled at Leopold remembering his manners he bowed to the man, "If you'll have me I'll kindly join you... but first..." Kai cleared his throat as his eyes drifted to the other man Leopold had been with who had threatened the other two who were in the middle of a fight, Kai laughed at the thought of this man castrating the two men and tossed his head back still laughing. "Now that would be an interesting sight." Kai said as he walked towards the others with a small twinkle in his eyes as he passed the mustached man before stopping before the three now as one of the others had come to stop the fight surrounding the man.

Of course with the appearence of one more to familiar woman the group made Kai's heart nearly stop as he tried to run and ended up tripping over Richards foot and tumbling to the ground pretty hard, "Shit, shit shit, dammit!!!" Kai bit his tongue as he cursed at himself for his clumsiness s he stood up and kept swaring at himself as he returned to his relaxed state now wasn't the time to afraid.

All Kai did was look between them all for a moment he didn't want to do something really stupid that would set the others off on him, he sighed looking back towards Richard and Leopold. "Yo if you don't mind Gramps," Kai was reffering to Leopold his eyes directed towards the man and a smirk of a devilish nature directed towards the man, " i think we should probably move on to finding out about the pillars before the two lovers kill one another... though my money is on that guy...." Kai said jerking a thumb towards the man opposite of Taejin as he took a step out of between the two and towards the pillars as he hummed to himself before turning again and looking back, he took all of them in and then spoke out,

"You two should realize something, if you start a fight here then you'll probably be put down into the ground by the others... save it for after were done here and save it for something worth fighting for- uh no offense meant ma'am- just keep your swords in your sheathes for a moment and use those sorry excuse for a speck you call brains and fucking think where are we and it may take a couple minutes, but newsflash assholes were on a magical wasteland trying to find out why out of all the shit here that those pillars are out of place... Now if your not getting this yet... I'm saying."

Kai coughed as he looked at both of the men, "GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASS AND FOCUS ON WHATS IMPORTANT RIGHT FUCKING NOW YOU DUMBSHITS!" Kai said rather angrily as he returned to his rather annoyed state as he scowled at the others then he eyed both the men and turned away. "Yo Leopold!" Kai yelled back, "We should get going don't you think. Waiting for them to kill each other is boring... I'd rather find out why the hell four pillars of unknown origin are standing in the middle of a wasteland wouldn't you?" Kai thought for a moment before yelling again, "Don't forget to wipe your feet." Kai then slowly made his way again towards the pillars.

(ooc2- sue me or kill me i decided to be the one who said it like an ass any issues let me know by pm or otherwise. xD)

[-Darshe]

Corvina sighed. "Can we just get this over with if there's a point here? Or are we going to stand around and wait to be attacked because I have better things to do than stand around waiting to be ambushed. Since gramps over there already opened the 'door' by force you can be damn sure something nasty will pop out and make life miserable for all of us unless we move." She ignored the minor drama for now and didn't see the need to focus on it when they were essentially standing in enemy territory as she now understood the situation. Besides she couldn't think a threat worse than the threat of castration. That was kinda her go to threat.

Things like this were why she hated working with amateurs. They kept getting distracted from the mission with petty things. Seasoned mercs on the other hand didn't have that problem. They knew to focus on the mission and worry about everything else later.

Technically this wasn't a mission for her but she'd have to treat it as one for now. Problem was she hadn't been given an objective to complete. She looked to the old guy(leo) and the one he'd referred to as Salamel. "So since we're on the clock let's skip the long drawn out story and get to the part where we care about why we're here and what we actually intend to do. If things get messy and none of us know what the hell is going on we're going to have a serious problem, and that usually ends with people running away like the bugs that scatter for cover when you turn over a rock."

[-Roush]

Taejin completely forgot about his potential opponent as the kid spoke.

"Hey!"
He brought his blade down.

"I may be more of a lover then a fighter, but I'm still capable! True, he looks a little more dark or whatever, and flying looks cool and all, but... Well, anyway."

He became distracted in the middle of his own thought, as was common for him. Underestimation was one of Taejin's greatest weapons, although it wasn't intentional. He slid the katana into it's scabbard as he turned to a nearby stone chair. He took a couple steps towards it and plopped down, one leg over an armrest. He finally replied to wise-old-men's stories and question.

"Well I usually don't go for expeditions but since I'm already here, I suppose I'm in."

As he looked up, he remembers that there is yet another woman in his presence. She was one of the ones calling for action and talking about ambushes or something. He shot her a smile before leaning back into his chair, waiting for the others to weigh in on the current issue. He hoped a few of them would drop, like the annoying little kid and the way-too-serious dark angel.

[-Davina]

By far too embarrassed to do much more than shoot the pompous ass who had announced she wasn't really worth it she promises herself she will slit his throat at another opportunity. Bad enough everyone was watching her like she was a pile of horse dung that two moron fly's were fighting over but now she had been verbally chastised by not only gramps but the other guy in the front. To add insult to injury some baboon had implied that she had less value than a quart of milk.

Holding her head and up shooting him a look that promised death at some point she shoot an equally venomous look at the two men behind her and with as much dignity as she can possibly muster she glides to a chair and perches, waiting for the next blow to her pride to fall. Perhaps next Alucard would like to pee on her robes to make sure that no other male spoke to her. As though she were incapable of speaking for herself.

Shaking her head slightly to disrupt her own mental tirade she turns her attention to the males in front again and ponders going home, so much bother here.

[-Raviel]

After Kai sat down, the man named Leopold started telling everyone about Creed and Kerlock. It was actually very interesting. After he was done he opened up a hole in the ground and said that this was where we were going. Before Pandora had a chance to do anything Kai got up and said the most insulting thing Pandora had ever heard, to the two men who were fighting over the pretty lady who was dripping with darkness, and disdain over the spectacle. "He he Kai was just kidding I'm sure. He didn't mean anything by it. But I will say that both of you ought to apologize to the lady you are fighting over. She can speak for herself and that's all I am going to say on this subject." Pandora said as she walked over to the hole that Leopold had opened. When she arrived at the hole she announced "I will go on this adventure as well. It sounds like an interesting time."

[-Kilik]

Kilik retained himself when -what appeared to be a lovers quarrel betwen the two men or a severe insecurity from the shadow Aesir- things broke out. Kilik had taken a seat to show repect to the breathing legend before him and kept his eyes on the elven whom arrived. He tried hard to stiffle a laugh which traced a sneer of childlike expresion as the two men fought. He of course was reminicing of his attitude towards Siran over another girl...

But he kept his eye on the elf that arrived not for her captivating looks for all elves are beautiful but because of a certan presence? No they way she had held herself. Her aura maybe because it so defiantly spoke of his mentor and accursed general he knew then she was Sash or at least priviously affliated. The gem glisstened under its quicksilver guise as Achiem pulsed within Kilik sensing undeath on the elven girl. "Lest you two kill each other may we please move forward"? He spoke blithely but it was his youth. Impatiant and ready to move forward.

[-Alucard]

First the wall then the threat of castration and finally some child trying to sound all big and bad for his little girlfriend (Sorry Raviel just calling what I see). That was the final straw he knew that both Salamel an Ezekiel could back up their threats but he highly doubted this boy could do any such thing. Alucard's eyes started glowing a very dark purplish green tone as he looked at the boy. Moving the energies he had in his barrier into a new spell he then fired off in the boys direction. "I apologize for the disturbance, but this is something few of you would understand. As for you little boy before you go speaking on matters that don't pertain to you I would make sure you have the strength to back up and trouble your mouth may get you into."

With that Alucard lowered himself to the ground and his eyes flashed silvery as he cast a slight cure spell to repair the damage he had sustained. After his spell had time to take effect he began to walk over towards the newly opened hole in the ground not wanting to hold the group up any longer then required.

[-DamagedHero]

(OOC- Oh joy well here goes Kai's nightmares thanks Alucard for letting me send a character through emotional Hell oh [NOTE] During this moment only things Kai says and his own movements are real any npc or other user's characters shown minorly in this post are only apart of said Madness spell and should not be taken as God-moding or any other sorta character abuse. that is all.)

Kai was about to turn and yell something witty back at the man who had told him to watch his mouth and not to speak out where he couldn't back it up, "Would you like to find out if i can-" Kai sneezed loudly as he shivered slightly looking down for a moment before looking up and he his eyes widened for a moment as he took a step back and shook at what he saw.. Everyone who had been in there just moments ago was gone, everyone except a nearby group of zombies that seemed almost nostalgically familiar as he looked on his heart race as they seemed to not mind him in till one of them turned their head.

Kai's blood went cold as he saw the face or what was left of it upon the head... The face of his own mother torn, shredded, and burned looking back at him groaning mindlessly as the face held no emotion towards the familiar sight of her son and as Kai could make out the appearance of burns all over the ragged body caused by- No Kai refused to remember that day as he fought to keep in control of that moment he could be heard by those near enough, "Mo-Mommy!?"

Kai barely whispered as terror, fear came from his voice and he was almost immediately tearing up ready to do so almost to the brink... This as he looked on as the zombie version of his mother stood up groaning loudly to the other zombies, their attention now drawn from the corpse that they had been devouring. Kai recognized the face of only one of the others the deforming yet still showing the disapproving gaze of his father in an emotionless uncaring, yet hungry looking way, "Dad.!?." Kai said shivering as he said this reaching to feel his back as Kai started to shake looking at this he sank to his knees quickly his body feeling numb as he looked on.

As they drew closer Kai sneezed again shivering uncontrollably from his fear, what was this that he was seeing... was this a nightmare a bad dream or was this real... If it was real then why wasn't he running why wasn't he trying to get away. Kai's eyes were drawn to something else as the undead zombies creepily, slowly nearer to him as he finally realized who the body of the zombies last victim as the head rolled back revealing the face of the victim as he noted the flesh torn the body nearly shredded and the insides seemed to seep out her stomach... It was then that Kai realized that it was it was Pandora and Kai felt tears roll down his cheeks as his hands moved to his head as he shook it in disbelief yelling out, "No! No no she's my friend... please.. please NOT HER!!"


Kai screamed out as he threw his head back screaming in desperation at what was happening the zombies within arm reach of him, "GET AWAY!!" Kai quickly and almost with whatever control he had left slammed his head into the ground feeling the pain quickly spread through his head as he curled up tightly into a ball leaving small red spots on the ground where his head dripped over.

As he heard the hungry growls he was still crying heavily muttering softly and desperately "Stop it... stop it.. stop it..." Kai's sneezed again his body shivered as he tried to stop it as he felt the hand of one of the reach him he shivered again and kept crying he couldn't move his body was frozen in fear, What could he do... His mom.. his dad... his friend... Why! WHY!

Kai's head pulsed from the pain as he fought for his body to move away with no success his tears still falling and muffled screams still happening even as he tried to regain what small amount of sense and control of his body that he had left now. Kai was afraid, terrified beyond anything he had been before... he felt more alone now then ever... a wave of terror shook him again as he felt his body shutter as another sneeze came from him amongst his sniffles and sobs. "St-stop it... pl-p-please." Kai said one last time as he felt the blood trickle onto his arms as he held his head almost desperately as he called out one last time to someone or something make it go away.

(ooc- think i may have over did it a little... eh well i'm in my characters personal hell he's fourteen... and already an emotional wreck so it makes sense if he sees hell or in my opinion it does if there are issues pm me or call me out on -Dh)

[-Roush]

OOC:
I talked to DH about this.

IC:
Taejin jerked out of his chair when the kid started throwing himself around.
"What the hell...?"

He suddenly felt the dark energy over the boy, and recognized the spell. A little harsh, but right now he didn't have time to think about it. He ran over the the young boy and yanked him off the ground as he started smashing his head on the ground.

"Boy! Snap out of it."

He looked into his eyes, and saw that he was gone. The madness spell was a mean one, and was usually short lived. But the boy was hurting himself, and had to be stopped. Taejin spun him around, quickly slipping his left arm around his neck, locking it with his right elbow, and bringing his right hand behind the boys head, quickly tensing up his muscles. True, his air was cut off. But that was not what made this choke work. It was a blood choke that cut off the oxygen to the brain immediately, leaving the 'victim' unconscious in under 5 seconds.

He slowly lowered him to the ground, feeling him go limp. He let go, which let the heart pick up where it had left off. The good part about the choke was that there was no permanent damage.

He ran a hand over his head, healing where it had been smashed in a shine of bright green energy.

He looked up at the dark angel, not mad, just... disappointed.

"He's a kid, man. Just a kid."

[-Raviel]

After Kai was admonished for his rudeness by the menacing dark angel, Pandora was about to stick up for him, but before she had a chance to react, Kai started screaming, crying, and talking about things that didn't seem to be happening. "What's going on?" Pandora said too stunned to move.

Luckily the man named Taejin was thinking quickly and rushed in to help Kai. Taejin put Kai into a head-lock so he would stop hurting himself. Seeing the blood snapped Pandora out of her stupor and she kneeled down next to Kai's unconscious form and swept his red hair out of his eyes and watched as Taejin healed Kai's wound.

Anger surged through her at this horrible treatment of her friend. Standing up and turning to glare at the dark angel man who did this to Kai, she pointed her finger at him and said, "What did you do that for?! That was totally uncalled for you oaf. I guess you are too sensitive to take a little insult from someone obviously younger than you. I hope this Karma comes back to you three-fold and you live to regret this." After she vented her anger, she threw up a reflect spell just incase this childish man decided to try something against her too.

(OOC: I know you have your reasons Alucard, but that's just the way she's seeing it.)

[-Davina]

Evangeline watches the mess with an almost detached expression. Granted she had thought to gank the boy herself but eh, she was just over the drama already. It looked like everything was coming down to her and a jealous Lord Dalv. Lovely. Watching the boy and his savior's carefully for a moment she stands and moves to Lord Dalv's side. "Open a portal home, now please MiLord, I find this place to be far beyond my ability to handle."

She had better things to do in life, or in her case a shadow of a life, than sit around with a bunch of undead watching the man she had loved for years make an ass out of both himself and of her. Shaking her braid over her shoulder she looks him dead in the eye. If he had brought her here simply to show his power he was loosing it. She was already well aware of what he was capable of.

Fingering the key at her throat she waits for him to tear holes in the fabric of the air.

[-Darshe]

Corvina sighed, what was wrong with these people? She moved up next to Pandora reaching out to place her hand on the girl. Though her lips never moved a whisper would reach Pandora's mind "Not now child. Save your anger for when it is useful. See to your friend first. Deal with him later."

She then turned toward the pillars folding her arms over her chest and spoke aloud trying to stay on mission. "I'm guessing these pillars are the real reason this place was destroyed. If our friend with the conspiracy theory isn't totally insane, that's what he's implying. Someone wanted to keep these a secret. Which means they probably do something important. But only the elves who lived here would have any idea about that....So...unless there's still some around in the talking mood we can't exactly find out....." It then dawned on her. "You intend on going down there and see if there's any elves willing to sit down and have a chat?" She asked turning toward Leopold, a hint of disbelief in her voice. "And this silly group was supposed to be what? A diversion in case they turned out to not want to talk?"

Since no one else seemed to have caught on to the situation She decided to fill in the blanks. "Putting aside how insane that idea is. There's no garuntee that there's even a real 'elf' still alive here much less one willing to sit down and talk to a bunch of random trespassers." She didn't need to say 'unless you know something we don't' because it was obvious he did. He and armor wearing buddy.

OOC:
There that should give everyone something to go on.....that's actually relevant to the plot here.

[-Kilik]

Kilik perked up as Corvina spoke. "As an understander and speaker of languages I have no complaints. As a mercenary I again have no complaints. As for hidden secrets.... Knowledge is power. One of your heritage should know that above all else. After all many of your 'kind' have hidden more knowledge than has been discovered." The word kind came as a sneer. It wasn't that he didn't like elves but as a magi the arcana came before all else to Kilik and elves had a tendency of keeping too much of the arcana secret from the rest of the world. This was where he and Achiem had an understanding of. Magic came first. "As for you, what do you fear elf? Are you not a merc of the same cloth as I?" He gave her a look that was soft and said I know but not how or why. "So let there be a chance for everyone here to choose. For I stand in this quirk of a quest to know what has been hidden from us. Who else will go now to uncover the truth of a world forgotten?" He was a sargent for a reason and War was not the only reason.

[-Raven]

[Hey guys. Sorry I disappeared for a while. Anyways, I talked to Zeke and he said it was okay to hop back in here. I guess the easiest way to handle this would be to just pretend I was hanging around you guys the entire time, lol. Just think of Raven being EXTREMELY quiet… ^^]

This is getting intense! Pest cooed softly. Raven, like usual, ignored him.

“Go down there…?” She asked hoarsely. Her heart began to race even more than it already was. Seeing as how this group acted with one another, she wasn’t so sure she could put her faith in much of any of them. She gripped her walking staff tightly as he assessed her situation. This place was already extremely dangerous, and now they were going deeper into this hell hole, trying to find someone still sane enough to talk to. Raven wanted to say no way and leave, but that would only throw her into the middle of the mess back towards the dock, and she would be alone.

So…in order to preserve her life for a little while longer, she was stuck with this group.

Why didn’t I just stay in Sanctuary…? She thought to herself as she closed her eyes and let out a sigh.

“I’ll go, I guess…” She said.

She didn’t want to. She REALLY didn’t want to, but on the other hand, it could prove to be something that would help her down the road. Maybe she would discover something to enhance her abilities. Something…

That wasn’t much comfort for her, however.
