*I hesitate for a moment before turning and making my way to the top*

@Vacare

*Analyzes the situation for a moment and sighs*
We really screwed up this time.
*Jumps from the current chunk of the courtyard to one a few meters up, mid-fall*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*I look at you unsure of how to respond*

But, what about you two? I can't just leave you here.

@Vacare

Get to the top before we do and help us from there. We don’t have time, just go!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*I run up to Gio and Lily with Aerith following closely*

Let's get going then, I'll help if I can.

@Vacare

*Looks up at the falling rubble and then down into the unseeable bottom of the pit*
It doesn’t look like I’m flying out of here. You two go, get to the top as quickly as you can.

<Snipped quote by 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!

@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...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Right... Where to next?

@Vacare

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

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

@Vacare

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

You assume that I die at all.

@Franxx

That’s the kind of attitude we’re looking for!

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*You easily disable the spell near you, but the light of the runes continue moving as long as the frontmost one is active*
Rawest magic bound by form, forsaken by the touch of it’s castor!

@Fractured

Scorned by the light of day, seized by the darkness of night. I adopt you under my name and change you by my form. Recast!
*The runes under our feet change to a muted yellow, but the glowing trail in the front outpaces us and continues toward the entrance*
