They walked down the stairs for a while and it seemed to go on until Eva caught a glimpse, over Alice’s shoulder, a big arena. “What do you think it is for?” Eva voiced Alice’s question, looking around and finding that everything was empty. “What would those creatures need such a big arena for?” Eva was curious too but as she pursed her lips in thought, Eva finally remembered that they needed to find the fire mage. “I’m not sure if we have time for this, Alice”.

"They are forcing the kidnapped people to fight. He is there, down there." she whispered as she pointed to the hole in the middle of these balcony seats. This was bad because how would they get him out. Her ears were flat on her head as she was trying to think of something.
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:05 pm
But she was shook out of her reverie when she heard Alice mention about how they were making their prisoners fight. “What?” she almost yelled, barely catching herself before she even did so. “That is not good, Alice. This means that we are most likely next. In other words, they are going to try and find us. But more importantly, is that fire mage going to be ok? We need to get back to the town somehow,” she told her, still trying to get a clear idea of what was going on. What was it with that day that had started out so ordinary but is quickly turning out to be a nightmare?

"The element of surprising jumping downstairs over there is too dangerous because we don't know how many will be there. We need to get out before we can do something or at least you get out and I'll figure something out." she said something and she perched up as she thought she heard something, "But we have to get out here now."
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:20 pm
When Alice asked her about the magic, Eva smiled nervously. “I’m fine. I can still feel my magic. It’s just a little faint. It must be because I got hit and knocked out so nothing to worry,” she tried to hide her own fear. It didn’t seem like something as simple as that. Eva would be lying if she said she had never been in a situation like this before but no matter what happened, her magic had not completely out of feel like this.
“I agree. There is no point in going down there and getting captured again. And, I’m not leaving you here alone. I can still use my magic. My mind might be elsewhere but I’m still processing most of what’s going on. We just need to figure out a way to escape”.
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:23 pm
"I think it's best if one of us gets out and the other will go back to free him. Someone needs to tell the authority to send more help." More fire mages. She wanted to look down another time but the change to be spotted was too big, "Let's take that door." she said and she pointed at one of the four that all came out to this balcony, it wasn't the same as they had taken because she had broken that door but they should get out and perhaps more downstairs. Where else would they go, they needed a window.
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:32 pm
“I’m not sure if it is a good idea to split in this kind of place. We can somehow try to free the fire mage together,” Eva said. She wasn’t sure if it was the best idea but she still thought that sticking together would be much better than going in separate ways and not being able to defend each other. At least with two, they stood some kid of chance.
“Let’s go,” Eva agreed when Alice pointed towards a door which did seem slightly different than the rest. Maybe there will be something else waiting for them. Maybe a hiding place until later.
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:36 pm
She hurried downstairs as she thought she heard footsteps again. They passed a door but she heard the grunts from the fire mage and someone else, which were loud enough to cover their footsteps and she passed more down and ended up in a room with a dead end. "No they have to be kidding!" she said in an agitatted whisper but there was food here and medicine, if only she did notice. But she was too busy with trying to find a way to get out of her and a plan to get the fire mage with them and there was just no way with this room that ended in a dead end. Or she might have missed a door?!
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:42 pm
She held one in her mouth as her hands again trailed around, fumbling with medicinal herbs and plants. “I’m not exactly sure what these are for but I think we will something here to completely heal ourselves with,” she told the orange haired neko, biting off a piece of the bread and taking her time to chew it into her system. In a way, Eva was glad that they were finally getting something to eat. If she was going to somehow get out of there, she was sure that she would be in need of it. Not to mention, Eva still didn’t know what exactly was going on with her magic.
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:48 pm
Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:57 pm
Now she was curious too. Maybe there was a way that she could find it. Eva tried to get a feel of her magic again. It was so faint but it was still there. Eva guessed that she had one shot at this. “Let me see if I can find something,” she told Alice, concentrating hard on the flow of wind in that room. Indeed, there was another current of air flowing from a direction opposite to that of the arena. “I think I found something,” she informed her trusted partner, going up to a shelf in the corner of the room and pushing it aside. It slid right over, exposing to them, another door. “I wonder if this is what we were looking for?”

All she could see was him and she wanted to cry it out but nothing worked as she slowly tried to fight staying awake. She could hear Eva say it to her what seemed like hours ago. But it was no use as she lost it and closed her eyes no longer able to fight it. She had no idea what happened next, that guards came. Tree like creatures with the anklebiters that would bring the two of them to the fighting pit to make sure no one was escaping again.
Had only a handful of people watched the Fire Knight and the other captive, there were a lot of people now around the arena, some even at the balcony where they had been before. A cat woman and another knight and they had to fight each other even though they were obvious friends. What would happen. Alice opened her eyes and found herself on the ground, curled up in what looked like sand. Her eyes travelled, she didn't get up immediately because of the headache but she stared at some blood drops right in front of her and her eyes saw Eva, that's when she sat up and noticed that it was their time to fight, either each other or together but she thought that the first option made more sense with what they had seen before. Her spear was next to her and she grabbed it quickly, it just gave her an assured feeling, for now.

At the end of the road stood what looked like a gate. It towered over her at an estimated height of ten meters and on two sides of the large surface was placed two inanimate creatures. Creatures? Was that truly the word for them? They looked human yet Eva knew they were not. They looked like angels with the long elegant fabric that wrapped around them, yet, Eva knew that was not what they were. A hand gently went up to rest on the door and suddenly, everything was so clear. Her panting breath, her thumping heart, a heat that swallowed her, the sparkling spirits that floated behind her, the eyes that judged her; all too clear.
“Ah!” She gasped. Amber eyes shot open, blinking and moving frantically as her vision shifted from white to dark and then to what looked like the ceiling. Her breath came in short gasps, her body slightly numb. What had happened? Where was she? Where did the large gate go? Eva’s thoughts scattered, picking up nothing but images flew into them. Anklebiters, fire, darkness, arena,…Alice…Alice.
Eva violently sat up, a sudden energy flowing into her. She finally remembered and looked around, stopping when her eyes found the familiar orange haired Knight. “Alice…” she whispered, her voice barely audible. That’s when she noticed the rest of her surroundings. They were in the same arena they have seen only a while ago, the place that their fire mage friend was fighting in not too long ago. Reality knocked hard on her head. Even within the crowd of confusion, it stood out. She looked at Alice once more. Was there no other option?
Fri Jul 28, 2017 7:32 am
"You might wonder why people like you would start to fight. I will tell you why. Else we torture the other." Most people would perhaps not understand how this works. But it meant that the damage Alice could inflict on Eva was the most she could get. So she slowly got up again. The man creature left. She would form her scarle armour. "Trust me I have a plan." she whispered as she darted forward with the spear in her hand to hit Evangeline on her left flank.
Fri Jul 28, 2017 7:57 am
She heard the tree creature loud and clear once she ignored the gurgling little sounds. Her eyes followed Alice as she donned her scarlet armor and took a better grip on the spear. Eva sighed and tried to feel for her magic. It was so soft that Eva almost felt like it was gone. She was sure that Alice had a plan. As helpless as they were, she didn’t think they would start attacking each other without having an idea for their end game.
She stepped out quickly to the right, trying to miss the stab of the spear and hoping to put a little distance between them, stepped backwards so that they had at least a three meter distance between them. If Alice followed and came after her, she would use her Wind slash spell to hit Alice and maybe knock her back a bit.

She stood very close to Evangeline. "Sorry. This is going to hurt. But it needs to look serious. Stay close so I can explain." She said as she hit Evangeline with just her knuckles around her stomach. Picking her ribs which would hurt less hopefully compared to her liver or so. "They don't know I am a requip. I hope that we can find out their leader. I will throw my lance at him." Case a diversion.
Fri Jul 28, 2017 8:59 am
She groaned in pain but held on. She wouldn’t be able to fight back but she heard Alice’s voice. “Got it,” she muttered out even within the pain and took her eyes off of Alice to take a look around the crowd. There, right in front of her and behind Alice was a large throne in which a bigger Anklebiter from what they have seen before sat. It looked almost like a giant but wasn’t as big but it was different from the rest in the sense that its skin was completely black. “Behind you, Alice. I’m gonna grab your hand and spin you around a bit, requip to your lance and throw it,” she told her, grabbing the hand Alice used to punch her and moving forward, trying to spin them around.
Fri Jul 28, 2017 9:13 am
She collected herself to make another attack on Evangeline by switching again. Making her spear point first go for Eva her liver before dropping it before the collision and putting her right shoulder into it and make the top again going for her head. If that was blocked she would try another thing my shoving the spear back in her hand and only fight with the spear point and the back use as extra bonus in case she needed to turn. The roars for the fight were louder. "take a step away from me." She whispered as they fought and she would get to a distance as well as trying to catch her breath. It was hard if you couldn't fight all out but had to think more about being careful. "NOW!" She said and summoned her red lance that she threw. They should install better security.
Fri Jul 28, 2017 9:38 am
To make things easier for Alice, Eva moved out of Alice’s way by taking a step away from her. She purposefully channeled enough magic in her hands to make a distraction, as if to let the crowd believe that she was going to do something impressive when honestly, all she was allowed to do with the power she painfully amassed was create a rotating ball of wind on her right fist. When Alice threw the Lance out at the King, Eva stood up straight behind her, the ball of wind fading. She went for the smaller ankle biters holding the fire mage instead. They were standing to a side on the arena and not up in the balconies. She guessed it was to remind Alice and Eva that this was what they were fighting for? She didn’t know. All she guessed was that if they freed him, they would have a bigger chance in the chaos to escape.

She ran, following Alice into the storage room. She guessed what Alice was thinking. They needed something to make a fire and Eva remembered seeing some plants and items that they could use, provided that their fire mage can at least produce some sparks. Somehow the anklebiters were a lot more concerned about Alice which made her do fine since she could take it with the armor she wore and Eva had time to get to the storage room and somehow help the fire mage after her. She ran to the shelves that she saw some plants and herbs that if ground together to form a fine powder, could potentially cause fire.

They had to hurry because there were two things happening. One they would force the door and two they would go around to get to the other side of the cavern to stop them. They had maximum five minutes to be out of here before that. So that meant they had to hurry. As soon as she took care of the Fire mage named Cedric his wounds she hurried to find the switch again for the door. As long as the door was closed the plant wouldn't be able to attack them. She held on to the door until the fire was ready and she opened it to attack the plant and make sure to attack it also with her spear to chop off branches. "Run!" She told Eva. Holding on to the fire mage to carry him for now. She held her hand stretched out and the lance appeared. Man which part of the forest where they?
Fri Jul 28, 2017 11:32 am
When Alice opened the door, Eva gave order to the fire mage to throw the explosive herbs at it. As he did so and the fire engulfed it, she watched Alice take care of the rest of it and the three of them managed to escape. Eva felt bad that she had to let Alice take care of everything now. She would have to tell her later and apologize for her own incompetency in aiding in their escape. As it stood now, Eva was nothing more than extra baggage.
She did, however, do what she could do. She had managed to grasp an idea of which way they should be going in by sensing in which direction the wind blew. She guided their group towards the forest that they came through that morning, using her last bit of wind magic she had to force out of herself to attack the anklebiters in the way with her wind slash spell.
