Alya watched as her friend turned into a small ball of white fluff. A hare. The half-elf couldn't help but stare at Rilana's form. It was very cute. Almost too cute. Although this wasn't really the time to be swooning over how cute the bunny was, Alya's mind naturally drifted that way until Svarak called out, telling the moon fey of a burrow. Her mind immediately came back to reality, remembering the 'poem' that they had picked up earlier. Her eyes searched for a burrow, but fortunately, Rilana found the burrow quickly. Not long after the fey had entered the burrow, she heard Kona let out an ear piercing screech. Her magnified hearing causing it to temporarily deafen her, causing her to cover her ears and shrink away from the creature. She felt the ground give way beneath her, and before she knew what was happening, she was sliding into the darkness... [hr] The wolf pup watched as the woman's eyes became a very dark colour, but before he could do so much as approach the woman, he was picked up by some mossy vines. Echo squirmed in the grip of the vines, but he couldn't get them off. The only person was allowed to pick him up was his mother, thus he felt very uncomfortable and confused. The moss began to move, showing no sign of letting go of Echo at the time, however it wasn't long before it dumped the canine into another cavern. He slowly recovered from his small adventure in the moss, only to see a woman encased in a.. shiny see-through stone. He wasn't sure what to make of it. Echo felt the fey woman's presence. It felt very.. evil. Wrong. He backed away from her, letting out a low growl as black swirls of magic flowed from her hands. He didn't know what was going on, but it was nothing good. [hr] The light returned as Alya and the others were deposited onto a sea of ice. She slowly tried to get back up, only to slip on the ice beneath her. She looked up, only to see a Drow, missing an arm. It was Dris..something.. In the midst of trying to remember her name, a sphere rolled in front of Alya. She picked it up gingerly, hoping that nothing bad would happen if she touched it. Nothing. She looked around the ice, noticing a small indentation in the center of the sea. She carefully got to her feet, unbalanced on the ice. the half-elf too small sliding steps toward the indent, placing the orb into it. The note that played was immediately recognizable to the Bard. She retrieved her flute from her hip, placing it on her lips. She knew that she needed to match this note. She could do it. Alya carefully pressed some of the flute keys as she blew into the mouth piece. The tone was perfectly in tune with the Note of Ice that the orb played. She held the note for awhile before stopping. The mute felt her feet press the ice floor, like it would if she was on a normal terrain. She could see through the ice now, as could everyone else. She saw Echo near a woman. A woman surrounded by an army of skeletons, a red light and an odd looking stone. She was at a loss. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't fight anything, let alone fight a bunch of skeletons. She just had music.. She felt as though she was forgetting something.. or someone. [color=6ecff6][i]'Rilana!'[/i][/color] her mind shouted. Her gaze searched the cavern for Kona, whom she saw almost immediately. He had a small ball of fluff hanging from his beak. The half-elf ran over to the Gryphon, stopping right in front of the great beast. Her face was covered in a worried expression. she couldn't believe she actually forgot about Rilana and the writings. [color=6ecff6][i]'When hare dies..'[/i][/color] She couldn't be dead. There's no way. She even tried to mindspeak to Kona [i][color=6ecff6]'Is she okay?!'[/color][/i] she asked, but she doubted she'd get any answers from an animal.
