Rain confused and worried waited for some sort of response to her dazed question. She was answered with a cacophony of noise as the Stone around them collapsed. Panicked, she jerked her head around looking for any sort of escape as quickly as she could. Nothing was coming to her. Her mind was a blank. Fear blinded her. She breathed heavily doing everything she could to keep herself from screaming out in fear.

Then came the roof. Rain froze. She was dead. After being freed from this prison that may have well have been death, not five minutes had passed and she was going to die. In spite of everything she had done in her life before this and in spite of everything she deserved there was no way she could be prepared to die. She held her breath and closed her eyes hoping for some sort of miracle. All she heard was the stone crashing around her and her heart pounding louder than ever.

Then silence. Suddenly silence. She slowly opened her eyes only to see what she could only describe as a demon before the remaining Prisoners of Stone. She heard its voice as it called out to them.

[quote]Its voice was like the hiss of a snake.

I AM A GOD IN NEED OF A BODY. YOU ARE ALL BODIES IN NEED OF YOUR GOD. DO I HAVE A VOLUNTEER?[/quote]

No! That was no god! She shook her head in fear and backed towards the wall that was behind her.

[quote]HURRY, OR SHE WILL SING AGAIN. He chuckled darkly. AND YOUR BLOOD WILL RUN.[/quote]

She swallowed hard. [b]"No. I think I'll take my chances out here."[/b] She turned to face the wall and scanned for any rocks she could climb up. If anything she could escape this cage and see what had changed in the world around her. Maybe she could make it back to her home city of Caiross and see what had become of it. While she hated the government that ruled it, there were people there she cared for and she wanted to know what had become of them. She [b]had[/b] to know.

Regardless of what happened there, Rain knew for a fact she had to get out of here.
