*Assumes a defensive stance, keeping the edge of my scythe pointed toward you*

@Techspert

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Both of us. Facing something that is a threat to us all.

@Zeal

*Two massive hexagonal bubble shields instantly form around me as a transparent, hologram like image of my dragon form appears within too*
Grand Feast: Bountiful Soul

@Asce

*Slices through the air twice, firing rippling distortions of spacetime at your shields*

*The rune trail halts the moment you apply your spell*
Nice job...
*Stumbles back over to the fountain and collapses*

@Fractured

*I fall flat on my ass gasping for breath as Noct non-nonchalantly perches on my shoulder*

You couldn't have done that sooner?

*Noct hoots and ruffles his feathers as he settles to rest. I look back towards Gio*

Hey, what would've happened if we didn't get that last rune?

@Vacare

*Between breaths*
Our exit would’ve closed... No idea what yours did.
*Mumbles*
I’m gonna take a nap.

@Fractured

Fair enough... What about you Lily, Aerith?

@Vacare

*Continues staring at the fountain with my sight active*
I... think we should leave.

@Nimda

Right... Where to next?

[Nimda]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

@Vacare

We should—
*Is interrupted by a reverberating crack, while enormous fissures dash across the courtyard, intersecting in unordered patterns*
Get out, now!

@Nimda

*I hastily get up and start running*

Gods damn it all!

@Vacare

But Gio!
*The ground of the courtyard falls apart into elephantine chunks that plummet into an inky abyss with no visible bottom*

@Nimda

Shit- I'll try and get him!

*I start muttering another spell to increase my speed*

@Vacare

Save Aerith too!
*Scrawling translucent wings burst from my back as I shoot toward Gio, my form disappearing once I faze through his body*

@Nimda

*I cast a spell that lowers the effect of gravity and grab Aerith as I run towards the exit*

Lily! Tell me you got Gio!

@Techspert

*the shields ripples and a black ball of energy with a white core grows above me as I look, mouth open. Shortly after you feel a tugging feeling that grows stronger from within all of you*

@Asce

*my body shifts as I groan*
We need to break through now.
*my sword charges with light and I send slashes of magic energy at the shield and I rocket towards the shield with sward at ready*

@Vacare

*Sits up, possessing his body*
Maybe! His mana was completely drained by the runes under that fountain.
*Looks up at the chaotic mass of rubble falling from the courtyard and mumbles to myself*
And so were our potions...

@Zeal

*Holds my scythe horizontal, grabbing its base with both hands and swings it with all my might*
Right behind you.
*The blade unleashes a cutting wave that splits spacetime, creating a light refraction effect everywhere along its path as I run on top of the distortion it causes*

@Techspert

*the bubble cracks from the attacks but as you two close in your souls begin to rip and tear from your bodies with increasing strength and intensity*

@Asce

*Plants the hilt of my scythe in the ground*
How greedy. Our souls would be better off in the hands of those who never existed.
*Fissures split open along the ground and walls of the cave, freeing ghastly hands to claw at any living creature they manage to touch*
