Roxy dug carefully till she saw Almara now making the hole a bit bigger so she could be pulled out easily.

*yeah yeah... sry for dragging it out but i couldn't think of anything else for her >.<*
So much darkness... but now... was that light? So cold... everywhere... getting colder with every moment. So much and yet so little... birds? Were those birds chirping? It'd been years since she'd seen, let alone heard, a bird that wasn't a vulture or a raptor. Where was she? So much light all of a sudden... wait... was that... no...
Almi knew she had to be dreaming or something, but the sight of that figure against the background made her heart skip two beats. It was her, she just knew it! It had to be! That scent... so long Almi had dreamed of that scent, and now here it was. She raced for the figure, her arms open wide, and embraced her. She could feel those slender arms wrapping around her, the gentle touch that only one person in existence she knew of could give her, and those sweet lips softly hushing her as tears streamed down her face. "I know, my child" her voice, like smooth silk rolling in the wind, "I know it hurts, my darling Almara. For now though, rest."
"Mother...?" Almi squeaked, tears choking whatever else she was about to say before she was pulled closer. "Hush... you don't need to worry. I know he's gone, and it pains me, but you have the others. Their hearts are pure, even if some of them don't act the part. I have faith in them... and you should too. You have a journey to make, as do they- no, more than a journey. A destiny. But before you see your purpose in life, my baby, you first must know what you truly are, and that is where your journey will begin..."
The woman leaned in closer, whispering something into her ear as Almi's vision faded to black, and warmth began to return to her...
Back in the real world, the girl stirred, her lips mouthing something but no words came from her throat. A hand twitched, letting the others know that she was still alive, albeit unconscious. Her breathing returned as well, having been momentarily lost in the haze that had been beforeā¦

((Shesh, how long are you gonna keep digging? Waiting for Sat specifically to pull her out or something?? ))
Scoltun was watching intently the rubble around where the two were digging furiously. His sharp eye suddenly caught a movement, very slight, but he noticed it was a hand barely visible. It was a bit to the side to where the two were digging. He moved quickly but carefully towards it, now sure it was Almi who had somehow ended up here. He forgot about the Guardian for now.
He picked up a large stone that was covering the rest of the hand and saw below that it was resting on two rocks jutting out from the sides of a limp body of Almi. "Here!", he shouted and pulled her out gently using the hand. He forgot about his own pain when he saw her like this and cradled her small figure in his arms. He checked for a pulse and found it. He then checked her head for a bump and didn't find one. He shook her a little, "Almi, wake up..."

((yeah, someone to pull her out, that's why I put the'hole a bit bigger so she could be pulled out.' fangs didn't seem like a good idea to me.))
Roxy hopped aside as Almi was pulled out and looked around. Now that she was free, they needed Zyphan to make sure they had everyone so they could leave.

*Almi has a freaking head wound >.<*
Almi shifted to the side a bit because a bit of hardened skin was poking her there, but gave no response besides that. She was definitely out cold, and wouldn't be waking up all the way for a while. Which was fine with her, because in her head she was with her mother for the time being, something she wasn't about to give up for the world. Her body was flush with running blood, as even her pulse had quickened in the presence of this beautiful woman who had been, even if it was only her imagination...

((Hmm, good point Ze, didn't think of that... ))
Scoltun could see that Almi was feeling uncomfortable in his rough, scally arms and was of course, also bleeding from her head. He looked around at Roxy and Reinos, hoping one of them would take her. He had thought to wait for Zyphan and Almi as last time he had seen them, they had been together. Now he was worried where Zyphan had been held up seeing how they had found Almi.
"Roxy, could you take care of her please, I... should go look for Zyphan...", he said. He wanted to do it but again his body was screaming at him for rest. He pushed his comfort aside from now. He could rest once they were out of danger. He had to go find Zyphan first and then they could go. His wings were already open but limping down from exhaustion, showing his eagerness to go.

Reinos looked to Roxy, who no longer seemed to be acting as a demon in his view at least. Anger was rising in him fast, but was holding it tight so as not too release it.
"Scoltun, go find Zyphan," he said as he stepped close and held out his amrs,"Quickly."
He was thinking, they had to leave. Alredy he could sense the Krono Guards from the upperpart of the city coming closer. They were no longer safe in Largos. The humans and demons were now at war. There was no doubt of that. No demons or half-breeds would be safe here.
"We're leaving the city as soon as you come back," he said,"There's no other way."
He already had an idea where to go. After all, they had said they would watch over them....

Roxy stood there as her tails swung, growling a bit at the smells of the guards.

((i'm so sorry!! i got tangled up in all the stuff happening this summer and didn't find time to get on...))
Zyphan had continued on after the ceiling collapsed, though she was now more urgent to get to the surface than ever because she was alone and away from everyone else. Her heart was about to leap out of her chest, she was so frantic to get back to the group, but most of all she wanted to be sure that Scoltun was safe, and Almi and the others as well.
Rounding a corner in the hall, a guard jumped out at her, but in her terror and haste, the phoenix let loose a blast of ice greater than necessary, and the entire hallway was practically blast away with ice. Light shown down from above after the dust settled, and Zyphan realized that she had both frozen the guard and blasted herself an escape route.
Eager to get out and be reunited, she launched her way out of the hole, out into fresh air and the smell of destruction and death...

He carefully handed Almi to Reinos, making sure not to wake her up. He took a few deep breaths, visibly reluctant to fly again expecting it to hurt. He knew Reinos was right and they had to get out fast before the guards reorganized and came after them. He flapped his wings and almost fell back to the ground after a few strokes. Blood came back into his mouth but he kept flying concentrating on looking for any sign of Zyphan.
Very soon he saw a blue streak come out a newly formed opening in the rubble below him. He recognized immediately it was Zyphan and flew in her direction. He landed near her on a pile of stones. He called out despite being sure she had seen him, "Zyphan! Are you alright?"

Mierca couldn't do much more than keep watching everything that was going on around her. Aside from being too small to be of much help, she didn't know what to to anyway. The child could just watch, clinging to the disks as she'd been told, and knowing there was no way she could make anything better.
But, at least... Almi needed to stop bleeding. So, when Sculton took off, that was what she put her effort into.

As Reinos took Almi, he saw the look on Mierca's face. This had to be hard for the girl. He knew that. It had been hard for him all those years ago, after all. He gently set Almi down on the ground, in an area where Mierca could help her. He smiled at Mierca. If there was one thing she was good at, it was helping those in pain.
"Don't overdue it," he said to the girl as patted Mierca on the shoulder and walked to the center of the pit. They were leaving, so he might as well open up the Shadow Gate.
He was tired, but the others needed to get out of here. That was his only concern, help the others. There would be plenty of time to sleep when the shadow claimed him.
He closed his eyes and spread his arms, as the energy around him began to shimmer. Shadow collapsed upon shadow, but he held them together. He sensed the energy of the others, but he would only use his own. He was speaking in that strange language again, the language of the Undeworld....

Zyphan turned as she heard his voice, and almost crashed into him when she dived down to meet him. "Scoltun!! You're okay!! I thought...I didn't know what happened to you after you left into that room and everything blew up..." She stepped away then, embarrassed that she had hugged him, and began looking for the others as a distraction. "How is everyone else? Is Almi...?" She looked around for the girl, but didn't see her, not until she looked more closely at Reinos and saw the girl's limp form in his arms...

Scoltun was just glad to have her back with him, having all of them together again. He held her tightly when he came down and almost knocked him back. It even hurt but the pain was quickly forgotten. He could have just let go in her arms right now and fallen in a heap but they were not out of danger yet. He turned to follow her gaze and saw her looking at Almi. He quickly spoke, "I will tell you everything later. She is fine, just injured. We need to get out of here before the guards re-group. Lets go. I am glad to see you aren't hurt, Zyphan...", he added, smiling at her and started heading back.
There was no time to complain about his injuries and he didn't want everyone worrying about him while they had Almi and the guards already on their minds. It was getting harder to hide his response to the pain that seemed to be growing every time he tried to fly. He feared that he had internal injuries and extreme muscle fatigue. He just kept going for now, telling himself that he would rest once they were out of danger.
