[color=ed1c24][I]Wait a minute...[/I][/color] Maddox looked over to the Magic Council building, a serious expression on his face. [color=ed1c24][I]The hell is that?[/I][/color] His red eyes went back to Grane now. [color=ed1c24]"Grane... the doom you were talking about wasn't the building, was it?"[/color] he asked, though he already knew the answer. His eyes went to Damien now. [color=ed1c24]"Our fight may not be over."[/color] With that he let out a sigh and reached toward his jacket pocket.

After a moment of feeling around, Maddox realized he didn't have his jacket. It was in the aquifer, likely destroyed by all the flames. [color=ed1c24]"And I could really use a smoke right now..."[/color] The red-haired mage let out another sigh before dashing into the building at high-speed. He quickly found Penny and Mayt and decided to stop next to them. [color=ed1c24]"I hope you two are feeling better,"[/color] he said, his voice clearly sounding rushed. [color=ed1c24]"Because you two should probably hurry."

"The day is not yet won."[/color] His tone was deadly serious and his expression was one of concern. Maddox gave them a quick, two finger salute as his farewell before running deeper into the collapsing building. He quickly caught up with Masahiko, slowing down his pace to match the Council Member's to allow conversation. [color=ed1c24]"What is it?"[/color] Maddox asked him, giving the Council Member a stern gaze. [color=ed1c24]"Grane mentioned it would be our doom. What exactly were you hiding?"[/color]

The leader of White Hydra looked over his shoulder. Beatrix was still unconscious, laying on the Legion's back. [color=red][I]It would be best if she stayed out for a little while longer,[/I][/color] he thought, returning his gaze to the direction they were flying. The Legion let out a roar as it crested another cliff. They were now just outside the Royal City. [color=red][I]As long as those three do their job, then this should be icing to the cake.[/I][/color] The Legion let out another roar as it flew low over the rooftops of the Royal City, looping around the outskirts of the city before closing in on the castle.
