The girl let out a hiss of pain as her body collided with the ground once again. What was going on? Why couldn't she move properly? Was it because of the sudden transformation? Or maybe the fear of the approaching beast was getting to her? Regardless, the fox's face remained still, as she couldn't let herself show fear at a time like this. All that mattered what getting out of this alive!

As she was struggling to get herself back up, another hand reached out and helped her out, swinging her arm over his shoulder to provide support. Getting a better look at her supporter, the girl couldn't help but stare in surprise for a moment. This...man kept most of his qualities as a spirit, save for the head up, which had an opening swarming in a never ending sea of bugs of all sorts. It didn't disgust her as much as it should have, seeing as this man was actually helping her out instead of running away to fend for himself. It was actually pretty heroic in her eyes.

Before she had the chance to thank the man for helping her, he stated the obvious in order to build urgency. It was a little hard to discern where his voice was actually coming from, but the girl nodded nonetheless.

[color=lightgray][b]"...Y-Yes...Thank you..."[/b][/color] She whispered, only to freeze at the sound of her own voice. Was...was that really her talking just now? The voice had a childlike tone to it, filled with innocence, but also having a wise air about it. It was definitely something she would have to get use to.

And with that, the two began their slow but steady trek to escape. She couldn't help but feel guilt for basically forcing this man to help her out, but what was done is done. Only one thing matters, and that's escape.

She didn't want to mention it, but she could practically feel the bugs underneath the man's skin, pushing on her arm; even they were struggling to ensure their safety as well. The fox wasn't planning on letting them down either, seeing as she was carefully taking her steps. There were times when her concentration was broken, as the androgynous figure began to speak to the whole group that decided to escape. A simple nod was all she received from the fox as she went back to her walking.

Eventually the small group made it to what looked like a bridge, crossing over a large sea of smoke. By that time, the girl had grown much more confident in her steps. In fact she retracted away from the man assisting her, her gloved hand now being on his shoulder.

[color=lightgray][b]"Thank you...I think I should be fine now, with the generous help of you and your little friends..."[/b][/color] She spoke again, giving a small nod of appreciation before looking ahead to see a figure cloaked in black calling out to them? What was that all about? Could this person be trusted to help them out? What they were in cahoots with the Horned Guard and wanted to get them killed? All these thoughts rushed through the girl's head, but before she had a chance to decide, the figure shifted into a blood colored bird and flew off, screeching loudly to give off its location; unfortunately the girl couldn't help but feel that it was giving away their location to everyone instead... Ears perking up at the sound, the girl knew for sure that she would be able to help lead the others in the right direction if they lost sight of the bird...well, if they even were planning on going with the bird.

The sound of scuttling bugs caught her attention, as she was now looking around, eyes wide as she was now looking at disgusting, eight limb, monsters crawl around them in all directions. Once one screamed, the rest followed, as they appeared to be calling more to feast on them. The sound was rather painful, but the fox had to bare through it to get out of this situation.

She could only watch in awe as the androgynous figure vowed to take care of one of the sides, using their lantern to stop them. She was unsure if a tactic like that would work well in their favor, but the fox knew well enough that she couldn't just leave them to take care of this on their own.

Looking back at the man that helped her earlier, the girl leaned forward.
[color=lightgray][b]"...I'm going to go help her...if you know you can't do anything, then please run away."[/b][/color] She wanted to repay the man for helping her...but this seemed like the only thing she could do at the moment.

[color=lightgray][b]"...Allow me to assist."[/b][/color] She spoke out to the open as she pressed her fingertips together and moved to face off the group of monsters behind them. Slowly pulling her fingers apart, a shimmery orb began to form in between her hands, growing up to the size of her head before she grabbed it. The orb was cold to the touch, despite the fire that surrounded them. She knew that she wasn't cut out for this, especially since her ice could very well melt in seconds, but she had to contribute in some way. All they've been doing is helping her and the others, now it's her turn to help out.

The girl raised the orb up with one hand, and held two fingers out with the other. She pointed to the ground and squeezed the orb, watching as ice shot out from her fingertips, creating a line of sorts that the beast shouldn't past. She then began to freeze the rest of the ground with the utmost speed, hoping that she would be able to trap a few of them with her ice. She didn't hold back, sending ice to the ground up, as if wanting to freeze any part of the swarming beasts to slow them down. She could only hope that she could keep this up so that the others could escape...
