When Allura spoke of concern for Hades, Akira glanced down at him somewhat puzzled. "Him? His fine." Akira stated before inconsiderately kicking at one of Hades' legs. "Get up, no time to play games."  With that said Hades sat up slowly as his cloak of darkness covered him once more. 
[color=ed1c24]"Too much to ask for a moments consideration?"[/color] Hades questioned. [color=ed1c24]"You know that hurt."[/color]
"Oh yeah." Akira said as he opened and closed his mouth slowly. "Not nearly as much as when you broke my jaw whilst Volkran was sleeping."
[color=ed1c24]"Enough."[/color] Hades spoke as he stood up and went to retrieve his sword. [color=ed1c24]"You two should go on ahead.  The reapers should leave now that the necromancer is dead I need to take care of a few things."[/color]  Akira nodded in acknowledgement to what Hades said before looking to Allura.  "Time to leave then, shall we?"  Akira asked before leading on back out of the hall, they were somewhat to the North so they only had to travel Eastward to get out.

"So, this turning out how you expected it to?  I mean aside from the whole siding with the demon thing."  Akira asked jokingly as he walked down the crypts corridor.  The section they were travelling in seemed to merely be a connecting passage, the pungent smells that had surrounded them for most of their time there, and the alcoves filled with tombs were almost in complete absence.  "I'll be honest, I thought you might have decided to give this up a while back by now.  But I'm glad you didn't." Akira said with a smile.  They were pacing pretty slowly, a given after the situation they'd been through.  Little did they know what lied ahead.

Outside the storm was still going heavy rain and thunder drowned out all other sounds within the air as Irvine and Lance found the entrance. [color=39b54a]"So, think he's still here?"[/color]  Lance asked as he gazed down the stairwell into the crypt deciding not to enter.  Irvine answered Lance's question with a shrug.  [color=39b54a]"Well, I guess we'll find out soon enough.  Can't imagine him being able to deal with a necromancer to quickly. Plus..."[/color]  Lance glanced about amongst the tree lines [color=39b54a]"...No sign of disturbed spirits means the deed is done, it can only be recent."[/color]
[color=0072bc]"Then we wait for him to show, and we take him down."[/color] Irvine stated also standing at the top of the stairs.
[color=39b54a]"They said they believe that Angel Allura is with him, may not be that simple.  Will have to deal with this encounter carefully."[/color]  Ignorant of the rain falling on them the pair continued to converse as they stood, waiting for the appearance of Akira to come within eye sight.
