Tera's head started pounding as she woke up. Her eyes were foggy, she quickly tried to find a way to change that but it wouldn't work. She tried to rub them wiht her hands, but with out sucess. They were tied behind her back. She yanked at them but they wouldn't budge. She pulled her feet up close to her hands and searched her boots for a knife but it was gone. THey were all gone. Someone was gonna pay if she didn't get every last one of those back. The only way someone would've known that she had them all was if they had been watchin her or they knew her. THe thought made her shutter.

"Arias, Ariana, y'all in here?" She wispered waiting for an answer. Her eyes slowly started to clear up.

"We have to find the others," I noted.
"Yeah. Let's think about this outside. I have a bad feeling about this cave," Kate replied. I nodded in agreement and we retreated, back into the woods.
"Okay. So any ideas?" I asked.
"Well I could try and sniff them out. Wolves aren't bad at that," Kate suggested and at my nod she scurried into the trees. I waited a few minutes and then a beautiful, graceful wolf leapt out and began to sniff at the ground near the cave.

"Can you pick up their scent?" I asked.
"No. Smells of magic," Kate growled.
"You might want to turn back then,"
"No, I've been thinking. You know some magic right? Well can't you cast a spell to counter the magic in this area so that I can pick up the trail?" Kate queried.

"I'm not sure. How about a seeking spell?"
"You have a seeking spell? Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Kate demanded.
"Well I'm rather vulnerable while using it so you'll have to watch my back," I explained.
"That I can do," Kate agreed. I nodded and mumbled a few words and then allowed the spell to direct my feet.
"Also, make sure I don't wander off a cliff. I can't control my feet without ending the spell," I murmered.

"This sounds like fun," Kate sighed as my feet led us directly back into the cave.
"Need a little light?" I asked.
"I thought you needed to concentrate," Kate retorted.
"That's why I have candles. In the left pouch on my belt. That's it. You got the matches too?"

Arias woke up suddenly. his head hurt a lot.
"Hey anyone in here?" shouted Arias, no answer
Arias tried to move, that was when he realize he was bound by magic and it was getting tighter every minute. Arias used his powers to look in the dark. He was the only one in that room, but he could hear Tera shouting.

*sorry forgot to write this in the last post. then i thought I'd would be better to write it in another post.*




"Ah you awoke" said a voice.
"Who are you?" asked Arias from a cloaked figure.
"That is not your business. Why are you here Arias" replied the figure.
"that's none of your business either and how do you know my name?" asked Arias
"Answer me now!!" shouted the cloaked figure pinched his left arm.
In a instant Arias felt as if his hand was being cut with a knife.
"Never" coughed Arias
"We'll see about that" said the cloaked figure raising his hands.

Tera heard someone talking, she tried to shape shift but her head started to sting like crazy, she kept trying and the pain got worse until she let out a frustrated scream. She tried to fight against it again when someone hit her head. She struggled to stay concious and finally did. She pushed at the majic again but just recived another blow. She stopped, her bones ached and her head throbbed.

Lilly

"How am I supposed to hold a candle?" Kate asked after a few minutes fumbling with the matches.
"Good point," I responded, "Put them in my hands. I have some control over those." Kate nodded and placed a wax candle in the palm of my hand and a firm match in the other. Striking the match against the cave wall took some time but after that it was easy to light the wick.

"I don't like the look of where we're going," Kate hissed as I lead her further and further down the tunnels of the cave.
"Me neither. There's still no sign of them," I sighed.

My feet began to ache as we travelled deeper and deeper into the caverns and then a faint scream reached my ears.
"That sounded like Tera," Kate hissed, using her wolf's acute hearing.
"Okay, let's be careful now," I replied and suddenly we were in a long passageway. The flickering light of our candle outlined a row of doors on the right and from the first we could hear voices. One belonged to Arias. I ended the spell and prepared for a fight.

Kate and Lily stood poised before the doors, listening.

"I'll help Tera, you get Arias. We can figure out where Alania from there." Kate said. Lily nodded and they both rept towards the door.

Lily pushed against the door and it opened silently. There was no light in the room, but with the help of the wolfs vision, Kate could see fine. She started to slink towards Tera's door.

*uh...thats all i can think of rite now. *

Lilly

I crept slowly towards the large, pine door and gently eased it open. Peering inside, I saw Arias squirming on the floor, a cloaked finger standing over him, his back to me. Hurriedly I drew two daggers and leapt forward. I was able to catch the figure off guard and together we fell to the floor. I rolled aside and charged again, thrusting the knives at him but he dosged nimbly and Arias still hadn't moved.
"Lilly?" Arias mumbled.
"Yeah," I replied.
"The guy is good with spells," Arias warned, struggling against invisible bonds.

Alania woke in a comfortable bed. The room was flooded with light, where was everyone else? Where was she? Where were her weapons? How did she get wherever she was? Who would answer all her questions?

**tis all i've got**

**How do you like this post**





After using his magic with the help of Lilly's magic Arias broke through the magical bonds.
Suddenly Arias's body began to glow. Arias knew what this was.
"Get out now!" commanded Arias.
"But.." began Lilly
"Now!!" commanded Arias
"No" said Lilly.
"Very well then" said Arias.
Arias gathered all his remaining strenght and focused it on Lilly, Tera, Ariana and Kate where ever they were.
"Good bye, complete your job" whispered Arias to Lilly and in a instant Lilly disappeared. Arias Knew that every one would find them self's together even though they were separated before.
Arias knew he would die. Two minutes later Arias disintegrated.

Lilly found herself among the others.
"wake up" woke Lilly.
"What happened, one minute I'm on a bed now I'm here with my weapons" said Ariana
"Arias gave his life to save us" said Lilly.
"he what?" Asked Tera disbelievingly
"He told us to continue the journey" replied Lilly
"Well that's exactly what we'll do then" said Kate
They were in front of the cave. They packed their stuff and walked on.

*WHOA that was really unexpected.*

Tera thought about what had happened and she followed the others.

"I can't believe he did that." She wispered,

"Neither can I." Kate said back.

*Is he seriously dead?*

Lilly

"This doesn't feel right," I sighed, a strange tingle running up my arm.
"I know. What was he thinking?" Ariana demanded.
"No. I mean... I don't feel right. He did something while I was fighting with that other person," I shuddered, wrapping my arms around my chest as Kate and I led the way to the river.
"How do you mean?" Tera asked.

"Like that!" I exclaimed as we reached the horses.
"Like what?" Ariana asked in confusion.
"Their visible," Kate gasped. "She cast an invisibility spell on them."
"Yeah and it shouldn't have worn off. I think Arias borrowed my magic but why so much if it was only to teleport us away and why not teleport with us?"
"Those are some good questions," Alexynia mused.
"So your magic is completely gone?" Kate asked, patting her horse soothingly.
"Not quite but it will take at least a day to replenish itself."

*Wth? Firestalker-not cool, writersblock-worse*

*holy crap...this is confusing/unexpected/fun!* lol

Kate let the others take her horse as she flew over them, scouting. After what happened to Arias, she wasn't taking any chances.

*thats all ive got rite now.*
