The Lord Major and Nora had faded away from their very existence, blowing away to somewhere unknown to Mahendra who could do nothing but look upon the absence of his companions in fear. Was this the fate for them all? What about himself, what would happen to him? Would he fade away like them, or something much worse? He didn't know, and the lack of understanding frightened him. And Gene was telling them not to panic? Okay, perhaps that was a good piece of advice after all. Mahendra tried to remain calm, bending down to pick up the notebook Nora dropped when she…disappeared. [Color=007236]"Please be okay, Miss Kingston…please, Nora…"[/color] The fact that this was one of those situations where no one had any resemblence of control of it, made Richard all the more glad that he had his cigarette. Glad was perhaps not the best word to use. In the very least, it functioned as a small distraction to his one free hand and his mouth, following the indoctrinated pattern of breathing in the nicotine smoke, and out again. It was sad, wasn't it? The only thing Richard had control over was a piece of paper filled with tobacco between his dry lips. That was to say if the New York detective hadn't gone crazy yet. Richard turned to look at the other American woman, Ridgeway, to give her an answer. [Color=#255DB3]"Like the voice in the sky said earlier, in my professional opinion, we're fucked."[/color] Mahendra stood up as he clutched Nora's notebook tightly, listening to Gene and Faye attempt at figuring out how to stop the time spell. They couldn't. What they could do, was to keep moving forward. [Color=007236]"If that is so, Miss Masterson, let use move with haste!"[/color] Mahendra said back to her, turning around and taking a step forward. That's when he noticed the world fading out even more. Like pages left out in the sun, everything was blanding out, erased. Mahendra half-wanted to stop and find out more, but looking down at Nora's notebook, he pushed on through the very lack of pain one would imagine the world falling apart would cause. [Color=007236]"Follow me, we need to move forward. For them."[/color] Mahendra ordered the others, opening Nora's notebook in hopes of understanding the way forward. Richard, further in the back, was out of ideas. This was not something he had experienced before, and even if he didn't want to listen to Faye and her mumbo-jump, she was the expert of the two of them. Breathing in deeply with his cigarette, Richard gave Faye an empty look, as if he had used up all his words and wits. He looked ahead, watching the world fading like the end of a late-night moving-picture, wondering what kind of Hell he was going through. Richard turend to hear the Indian fellow order them forward, before looking back at Faye he was moving too. If anything, he would follow in order to keep Faye safe, ancient monster or not. [Color=#255DB3]"If that monster if a bigger threat to us than the world turning into nothing, I don't want to stick around."[/color] Richard commented as casually as he could all thing consider, leaving the cigarette dangling in his mouth and following Faye.
