"Yeah, I'm fine," Majus replied to the Felimare, then he looked to the large blue man near him. "But I'm not sure he is." He pointed. The young man seemed out cold. He knew it meant waiting, and now that he was here, he was anxious to get going. He considered leaving without the rest, but caught Rhus's glare and knew the wolf wouldn't let him go anywhere without the others. Though he supposed he'd probably need them, or the Felimare, at least, to get back. So he stayed where he was, waiting.

--------------------

Farin let out a grunt as Satan kicked her. His words irritated her and she couldn't control her anger. She couldn't trust herself to speak, so she circled him without a word, her sword ready.

-------------------

Brina looked to the angel as she tried to stand. "Are you alright?" She asked, seeing her gaze lock onto Satan. She grabbed her arm, trying to pull her away. "Come on, we have to get out of here!" What was she saying? She didn't want to leave, either, especially not with Farin facing Satan himself! Still, she knew it was for the best, though she didn't want to admit it. Her mission was to get this angel to safety, and Farin was giving her that opportunity, so she had to take it.

Before she could reply to the one who called himself Majus, the Felimare's attention was caught by a sharp yelp from behind her, and a sudden movement from where her friends sat upon her spine.
"Errm..." Tealle ducked her head down, her head looking between her forelegs so she could stare at the Flakami who had just flung himself from her back. Her ears and eyes showed much confusion and concern that something had gone wrong during the jump.
However, the Felimare also smelled an interesting scent. It was almost like flesh cooking - and she couldn't deny it kinda' smelled good. Tealle had to guess someone in here was cooking outside and the smell had spread into here. But that wasn't important! She blinked at the Flakami in her shadow, her head tilting a bit.
"Are you alright?" asked Tealle, adding on to the end, "What in the name of the Gods are you doing?"

Saber nodded his head, taking a step towards the large building. He hesitated for a split second, before he trotted forward. He looked up at the building, and then back at Jesus, feeling uncertain.

As soon as Brina grabbed her arm, Israfei let out a shout of pain and pulled her arm away.

Satan circled around Farin, growling at her. He charged at her and swung his swords at her.


"Go on in, it's alright. Your new life starts now." Jesus said.


Michael dragged Umbrius out of the cell. "Come on, Aalok, you and I are going to get information out of this creature."

Majus looked around. "This place isn't the nicest place to be," he said. "Sure, it looks nice, but it's not..." He turned to the others and shrugged. "You're friend is being held captive by the people who live here, right? How 'good' of a place can it be?" He looked to the Felimare. "You have magic - can you do something to protect them?"

------------------

Brina gasped, horrified as the angel let out a scream. "Oh my gosh! Are you alright?!"

-----------------

Farin watched Satan, reading him. She quickly threw her sword up to block his, then side-stepped, swinging her sword toward him, aiming for his left side.

"I would disappoint Sun and Shiema if I didn't have the memory and magic to give some buffs!" replied Tealle. She mentally flipped through the spells she knew, deciding after a moment which one to use. Her horn flashed, and the magic wrapped itself around the two Flakami to form a sort of 'sheet' to cover them. She nodded with satisfaction, moving herself so she no longer stood over Mika.
"That should do it. A simple defensive boost against light. Traveling with a pair of bards for a while has its rewards, you see. Now come on, we've got a friend to save!" Tealle scooped up Bobo in her magic and continued towards where she'd gone to exit this place the first time. She had a fast pace - in fact, the Felimare nearly tripped from starting off too quickly after Dimension Jumping - but she was eager to get going.

Saber nodded his head, gratitude practically flowing from his gaze. He looked back to the building and proceeded into the house. He didn't know what to expect, but he felt ready for just about anything! He was going to take whatever came to him and work with it! Or something like that, anyway.

Majus and Rhus quickly followed the Felimare, Majus eager to help the captive and fix his mistake. He'd let the Felimare lead the way, since apparently she'd been here before.

"Of course." Aalok replied though feeling slightly uncomfortable going along with this. These demons deserved to die and he hated them with all his guts, but would he really want them to be tormented and tortured? Nevertheless, Aalok's stoic composition remained as he picked up the other side of Umbrius and carried him along with Michael.

"No... My arms are burned..." Israfei said.

Satan roared in agony as he was cut. He whipped Farin away with his tail.


"Doggy!" Said a few children as they excitedly ran down a hallway toward Saber.


Michael took Umbrius into another chamber. This looked like a torture room. Michael put Umbrius down on a large slab of stone. There was another slab suspended above it.

"We really need to get out of here!" Brina said, quite concerned for the angel. "Are your legs okay?"

------------------

Farin rolled to a stop and quickly got to her feet, putting her sword up before her as she watched Satan. Fortunately she had managed to hold onto it. She watched Satan. She was making him mad, and she wasn't sure that was the greatest idea. But she had to keep him distracted so Brina and their ally could escape. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said, mocking him, "that looks like it hurt." She was baiting him, waiting for his next move.

"Yes..." Israfei said, standing up weakly. "I'm not too strong right now."

Satan was shielding his wounded side with his wing, it was bleeding and burned. He roared and breathed fire at Farin.


Micheal chained Umbrius to the stone slab. He laid his hand on Umbrius' head, he began to heal him, but just enough to get him out of his concussion.

"Lean on me for support, if you have to," Brina said. "We have to get you out of here. Now. Farin's a skilled fighter, but she can't distract him for long!" She said, and suddenly new fears for Farin leaped into her mind. "Come on!" She said to the angel, urging her toward the door.

-----------------

Farin leaped to the side, rolling to avoid the flames, but they still hit her wing. She flapped it quickly as she got to her feet, putting the fire out. But the pain was still terrible!

Tealle cantered her way forward, letting memory take her across the courtyard. She quickly went down the same path she previously took to exit this place - it was pretty straightforward, but honestly she didn't want to make a stupid mistake. Very rapidly the Felimare came to the realization she had no idea where they'd taken Flame's friend!
'Uhhh, if I were to capture a war prisoner I'd...take them to the prisons?' the Felimare thought that was somewhat obvious, but was glad she'd solidified a destination. She glanced back at the others, wondering how she was going to get the inhabitants to believe that these guys wouldn't harm them. She doubted this was possible, and as such she tried to form a plan in her mind to cover up how suspicious they looked.
Tealle's ears flicked and twitched as she weighed the possibilities, privately having an idea that could work. She blinked, and her gaze traveled to the large blue man she carried in her magic. Perhaps she could use his unconscious state to her advantage. The only thing to be worried about, Tealle frowned at the thought, is that the others may disapprove of this plan!

Saber was taken by surprise by the sudden commotion. He froze for a second, watching the children run towards him. He started to shrink away before recalling that he wouldn't be punished for speaking out of line. The hound soon found the kids upon him - and oh did his tail wag when happiness sort of invaded his mind and left him smiling. With his thoughts rolling through his mind a mile a minute, the wolf was quite pleased to be around such people as these!

Majus continued to follow the Felimare. He wondered if she really knew where she was going. Glancing to Rhus, he noticed the wolf seemed to trust her. He sighed inwardly. He'd have to trust her.

Israfei leaned on Brina and walked with her towards the door.

Satan noticed that his captive was escaping. "No!" He said as he flew at them both.


The kids pet Saber. "What's your name?" Asked the little girl. The little boy was scratching the wolf behind the ears. "He's got a saddle on him like a horse, you think we're allowed to ride him?" He asked.
"If he lets us." Responded the girl.


"We're going to get information out of you, whether you'll talk or not." Micheal said to Umbrius. He grabbed a chain that was suspending the large slab above Umbrius and pulled it. The slab began to lower.

"No!" Farin echoed Satan's cry as she saw him fly at Brina and the angel. She quickly flew after him, slicing at his back with her sword.

Aalok watched silently, like Saul watching Stephen being stoned to death. He approved, but did not take part of it....yet. I would kill my enemies a thousand times over to bring the vengeance of God upon them. But torture....I don't know how to feel about it. Yes, its satisfying to see my enemies get what they deserve, yet at the same time....it only broods bitter hate. It isn't what they deserve. I feel like if they do so, it will just arouse more thirsts for revenge, more fury, more rage. An unquenchable fire....well, not that they are already such. He frowned and crossed his arms. We as angels are allowed to suffer. God knows that when we suffer for him, it's always because He has a greater purpose—a greater cause for us to be there. But....are we really allowed to deal out the suffering? To a fallen angel whose master has been doomed to lose from the beginning, they don't have that reliance and trust in their master, do they? And this creature. Revolting as he is, and as much as I want to snap his neck off...his blood is different. He is neither angel nor demon. What is his belief? Slavery is condemned and here it is! I am no slave and neither is Michael or any other angel. We chose this duty. We had a choice. He thought.

"Uhhh...Guys?" Tealle started, clearly looking rather embarrassed, "I only know how to get out of here, not where they keep the prisoners. I'll have to ask, and to get us all there is rather risky since we're on the territory that's racist towards you all. I have a plan, however, though it could get a bit messy. Is everyone up for some fooling of these people?"
The Felimare picked up the entire group in her magic, admitting to herself she probably shouldn't be doing that directly after dimension-jumping. A lovely headache had begun to form in her skull due to not having enough time to recharge her magic, but it's not like she was dying. Tealle marched out into the open with the party in her grasp.
"Here's our story: Bobo and I were headed to the battlefield when Majus and Flame jumped on Bobo, assuming we were sided with these guys. Mika and Rhus were challenging me, and putting up a great fight. Somehow, he got knocked out, leaving me with you four..." She trailed off, not sure how she ever would have fended off four attackers. Frowning slightly, Tealle continued, "And somehow I managed to pull out of it and need to go to the prisons to 'lock away' you four. That's the plan."

"Saber - My name is Saber," the tail on the brown wolf wagged, his bright yellow markings getting slightly ruffled by petting. Saber looked back at his spine, puffing out breath as the saddle came into view. He didn't particularly feel like being ridden, but these kids were cute enough maybe it would be okay? He smiled, and looked back to the children.
"What about you? What are your names?"

Satan roared in agony before falling to the floor, he was severely wounded.


The slab was lowered onto Umbrius. Micheal held the slab up by the chain just enough so the slab was hurting Umbrius, but not enough to break anything. "Tell us, were there others that Satan called too?" Micheal asked.


"My name is Sophia." Said the little girl.
"My name is Robert." Said the little boy.
"Why do you have a saddle on you?" Asked Sophia.

Majus frowned, slightly unhappy that the felimare didn't know where she was going. Still, she had a solid plan. He particularly liked the part where she said he'd put up a good fight. Of course he did! He grinned at himself, even though he knew the story was fake. "Yeah, I'm always up for fooling people," he said.

--------------------------

Farin saw satan fall and looked quickly to Brina and the angel. "Quick! Go!" She shouted, keeping her sword ready and her eye on satan. She watched out of the corner of her eye as Brina continued to usher the angel out of the room, glancing back at her with a worried look. Farin understood her fear. Satan could get up at any moment, and when he did, his anger would be unimaginable. Still, she wouldn't leave until she knew the other two were safely away. She had to keep an eye on him.

Satan stood up, he looked at Farin, he spewed massive amounts of flames at her.

Israfei went with Brina, hanging onto her ally was difficult since her arms were so badly burned. She wanted to yell out at any moment.


"Who is it?" Micheal asked. He lowered the slab even more.

Farin quickly threw up her sword as a shield. Being infused with the Word of God, it effectively blocked the flames. Still, some came around the edges and nipped at her. She took a step back, knowing she couldn't hold out forever. Suddenly, she dropped her sword, leaped to her left and rolled back to her feet, coming up beside Satan and swinging her sword, trying once again to catch him off guard.

--------------

Brina lead her ally through the cavernous place she was, trying to remember where she'd come from. She glanced to her ally, concerned with her health. "You doing okay?" She asked, then glanced around. She felt helplessly lost, and worriedly wondered how she'd ever find her way out. Worse, she wondered what would happen to Farin. She'd already put up a good fight, but she still had a lot more ahead.

Satan roared in pain as the sword cut into his side. He swiped at Farin's face with his claws.

"Yes... Everything hurts." Israfei said.

Demons suddenly came out of a tunnel and saw the two angels. "Angels! They're trying to escape!" Said one of them.


"I know you're lying." Micheal said, lowering it even more.

"Tell us." Aalok said in a grim tone. "You're only making it worse for yourself. If you tell us what we want to know, everything can stop." He said. ...What could keep him from telling us? He obviously doesn't act like a demon. He's new, so Satan couldn't have shared that many secrets. What is he protecting? Aalok thought, growing more and more impatient with this creep.

Farin leaped back, but not in time. Satan's claws caught her cheek. She cried out at the pain and turned to him again, angry, wondering if her friends had had enough time to escape.

----------------

Brina saw the angels and stopped suddenly. "Oh, crap..." she said, then glanced around, trying to think of a quick solution. She still had no idea where she was going, and knew she couldn't take on more than two or three demons at the most, not without help, and she wasn't really sure how much help her ally would be. She was severely burned, after all. Her eyes soon caught on the tunnel the demons had entered through. The best idea would be to silence them. She pulled her bow from her back and put an arrow to it, aiming at the demons to through them off. At the last minute, she moved the arrow's aim upward and released it, hoping the demons would just think she'd missed. But she'd really been aiming at the rocks above them, at the top of the tunnel, hoping that they'd be loose enough to fall when her arrow hit them.

"You know, but you refuse to tell us." Micheal said, lowering the slab a bit then raising it up a bit to give Umbrius a sudden jolt of pain.


Satan struck out at Farin with his tail just to get her out of his way.

The rocks fell on the demons right before they could make it to the two angels.

"Let's go!" Brina said to her ally, lowering her bow, but keeping it in her hand, worried they'd meet more resistance as they left. She still had no idea where she was going, but now there was only one option, as she'd blocked the side tunnel and they'd come from the other direction.

----------------

Farin leaped upward to avoid the tail, then flew behind Satan and brought her sword pummel down hard, aiming for the back of his head, hoping she was quick enough.
