It spun around, eye's locked onto Moira's great sword. Oddly, it had grinned before it was sent flying back into a tower of cogs and gears. That hit had actually hurt a little...whoever this woman was, she would pay. The black ooze seeped back into itself, the creature slowly turning into a broken and bloodied version of Sonny. "Mum, why?" He emerged from the clock tower, hacking and coughing. He was a garbled mess of missing eyes and twisted limbs. "Make the pain stop, mum!" He sounded and looked exactly like Moira's son. The dream eater's head spun a good 360 degrees before he morphed into a black bird and soared high above them and out of reach. The eerie sound of laughter filled the air and the crow focused its eyes on the matter artist. "I've only just began, boy!" Black goop pooled around Dylan's feet. The ooze began to take shape and before he knew it Tobias was yanking onto his arms and restraining him. "Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, bad people like us never deserve happy endings." He leaned close to the man's ear and let out a sigh. "You and I are very much alike, birds of a feather flock together after all." Tobias began pushing him towards the edge and somewhere across the battlefield, children with branches for arms began crowding around Syed. "Teacher!" They wailed, "we trusted you, why didn't you save us? Why couldn't you save us?" They all began to scream and cry. The dream eater landed on a tower high above them, morphing back into Dr. Dream. The man gave them all what looked like a friendly smile, "enough fun and games, let's end this." Giant crows filled the air, flapping their wings and soaring around chaotically in an attempt to knock the guilders into the abyss below.

The feline was now racing from cog to gear, hissing at everything that scared it and running in an unpredictable pattern. The summoner closed his eyes and tried to get a grip on the creature. He managed to, and instead of leaping into the abyss below the cat crashed into a floating rectangle then vanished into a puff of smoke. "Kid!" He let out a relieved sigh, gave Estelle a quick thumbs up then rushed to the edge of the platform. Aria and Lute had joined them as well, thankfully they both looked alright. "Are you okay--" the platform shook once more and out of the corner of his eyes he saw Selan falling. [img]http://i.imgur.com/TiFs5lt.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/ZEQcnsM.png[/img] "This way!" Atlas would vanish only to appear on another cog. He was light on his feet, until the cogs began falling. He leaped onto a bigger platform and stared helplessly as the girls began falling even lower. The platforms they were on drifted apart and Lisette fell right out of the sky. "Are you okay?" Xan reached out to grabbed Lisette by the arm and helped steady the girl, everything was unstable and a single step could lead to their demise. A giant crow flew past, the wind knocking their platform back and more and more crows were appearing out of thin air.They couldn't stay here. "We'll have to keep moving." Xan muttered before carefully leaping onto another cog. A giant crow sailed past and she ducked, thankfully it hadn't seen her. Judging by the mad laughter coming from above, Xan could only guess that all hell was breaking lose. There was a flash of white and she watched as Selan fell onto one of the floating cubes. "Selan--!" Before she could say more there was a gust of air. The girl looked up to see Lucien flailing as he fell through the air, there wasn't enough time to even yell. The summoner crashed into her and both plummeted into the darkness below.
