"Aha! I have found it!" Drax yelled triumphantly. "Alright then, Sphyl, lets be off!" "What is it," she asked back, surrounded by bodies, mostly knocked out, some less fortunate. Her scythe had aleady transformed back into her cloak and she was floating there as if nothing happened. "Time to explain when we get there, time is of the essence!" he said as he started to run to the great hall, Sphyl hovering close behind. --- the crystal above started to crack --- Dremmick was now screaming in either pain or effort, he lost account of which. To the others, his face and body was covered behind his armor and nobody could see the extent of his curse. The curse had overcome his whole body, the price of restoring someone from death, and he was run raggid and tattered. His body resembled a horrific amount of injury and was sickening to behold. the only part untouched it seemed was his right eye. his left he could still see out of, but it was a grotesque and discolored thing. When he had finished there was an explosion of red smoke around him and Ander. His body went limp as he fell to the floor, still conscious but pushed way beyond his limits. Ander groggily sat up, wondering what had happened, but then he saw Dremmick. "No....NO, DREMMICK! What have you done!? You're going to kill yourself!" "That won't matter soon. You'll be going back to join him soon enough," Korde sneered. He ducked and jumped from Cilia's attacks noting her physical condition, and then was hit in the side from some little child's magic. It didn't hurt, but it did take him by surprise. "Well that is odd, I didn't expect you to actually do anything." He then slammed his ax on the ground. "How about we speed this up a bit." three steams or black fire shot along the ground going toward Christopher, Cilia, and Leon. "KURO HI YARI!" He then swung up with his ax and a spear of black fire shot up from the ground where the streams ended. Ander ran forward to try to confront him once more, but this time with his allies beside him. "I"LL MAKE YOU PAY!" At that moment Drax and Sphyl came in and rushed toward Ris and Dremmick. "Sphyl tend to him." Drax turned to Ris. "To put my findings short m'lady, the curse on Ander's sister is broken. Ander is magically linked to his sister, being like her other half. When he died so did she, and you can only curse the living. I believe this is the loophole Dremmick has been trying to tell Ander all this time, trying to keep Ander from accidentally killing the both of them. All we need to do," He said while drawing his sword from his cane, "is break that crystal."
