The centipede looked at Ash, a few of its backplates quivering before slowly cracking open to reveal what looked to be some sort of glittery goop. [i]"Place him in here. It will keep him safe."[/i] It said before it twisted it's head towards Gnol and Ricki, moving to stand in front of Jill as Gnol charged. [b][i]"Do not harm our captain!"[/i][/b] It rumbled angrily, it wasn't sure if Gnol was on their team or not. Ricki watched the Centipede, before she sprinted after Gnol to try to get in front of him. She didn't have time to talk but she got a weird feeling about the Centipede. Her tail swayed as she watched Jill with Ash, then back to the Centipede. Avia followed after everyone slowly, she watched the Centipede quietly. "Gnol." She said, loudly but calmly, "The beast isn't an enemy." She glanced to the Centipede and lowered her head. "Fer'a." The Flarewolf stuck beside Alan, as he was the only one in the group she trusted. She was slightly slower than what she would normally be, her weight from her pups starting to weigh her down. She heaved while she walked, looking up at Alan with a small 'arf'. Derek glanced at the beast and muttered something under his breath before he looked around. A bit of dust dripped down from the ceiling. There was silence from Derek before he moved to knock back. Seb jumped slightly when he got a response. He grinned before he knocked again, Derek knocking back twice. Seb looked to Treghor with a smirk, "Found someone." He said before he flexed his hand. Energy bubbled over his hand before he slammed his hand down; the ground sparking with lines before they seemed sink down. Derek glanced up as the runes trickled down from the ceiling. "Seb's above." He started, "We're close." He looked around, his tail swaying quietly. He looked around, trying to figure out where everyone else was above ground.
