Lillian makes her way up the cliff quickly while the man watches her, right when she gets on the ledge.
Th man stepped up to the wall, he had no choice but to follow behind her and protect her back or neither of them will walk out of this place. That was the only option he was left with since he couldn't make it on his own and right when he grabs the wall a claw collided with his side and sent him flying. Lillian quickly looks down seeing a couple of the beast cautiously making their way toward the young man. A part of her wants to leave him to his demise, but she doesn't know what's ahead of here and having a giant snake and now some sort of lycans that look like lions coming for them.
Lillian pulls out a line dart smashing it into the wall then throwing the rope down, she starts throwing wind blades at the two beast. Once he got away from the next attack and ran for the rope, he quickly climbs up the rope.
When they were standing on top of the ledge when the water blew up hitting the ceiling with the large snake standing straight up from the water hole.
" quietly make our way into this tunnel " Lillian said as they enter the tunnel and make their way inside.
Kalina was pacing back and forth, she made sure that no beast or traps were in the cavern and was worried that Lillian hasn't returned in six hours.
" should we go look for her " Indigo said while staring at the small tunnel, she kept hoping that Lillian would crawl through.
" I think we should search for them " Ashley said while hugging Indigo tightly, the sixteen year old boy walks over to the tunnel.
" I'll go out to see if I can find her " He said when Ashley looked over at him, she sighed then handed him the short sword.
" Rus, don't make Kalina kill you for doing something stupid " Ashley said with a glare, Kalina smirked at the boy who swallowed hard and he nodded his head.
He made his way out through the tunnel, where apart of it collapsed he had to squeeze through the exit and pulled the fallen rocks out so the others could climb through without having problems.
He notices burn marks on the walls and the ground so he follows them down and into a side tunnel. He made his way over a bunch of rocks to where it looked like something smashed through a tunnel making it large enough for the giant snake. Rus comes to a water hole that they must have used helooksdown noticing it curves to the right so he takes note that they have to be straight ahead but doesn't know if it's on the same level, down below or up above.
Rus made his way back to the others, he tells them that he followedtraes to a water hole and Kalina decides for them to at last check out the last place that they know shewas last at.
Rus, Indigo and Ashley was worried about the man that is with Lillian and Kalina knows he would die the second he tries something.
" do you think alek will try to hurt her " Rus asked Ashley who shrugged her shoulders then walks over to the water hole.
" two of us should go check out what's on the other side " Rus said looking over at the two other boys, they look away from him.
" as I see it, Wei and Sal she could of killed us and left us for the snake. She didn't if you will not at least go to see if our benefactor needs help, then their is no point for you two to live " Rus said as he stands with the sword pointing at them both, they quickly look to the women who look away and Kalina just smiles wickedly at them.
" From what I see you two have only two choices stay here to face Rus or to face the other side of the water hole. " Indigo said as her aura releases killing intent toward the two boys.
" we'll go " Sal said as he looks over to Kalina, he clicks his tongue.
" can we please have some weapons " Sal says then bows his head to Kalina who throws down two long swords, two shields and two spears.
They both attach the swrds to their belts, the shields to their backs and then walked over to the water hole.
" wait your not gonna do two wind spells for air " Indigo said as Kalina waves her hands over the boys heads and two bubbles envelope their heads.
" you'll be able to do these sells right " Kalina said, they both nod their heads and she hands them a communication jade to tell them if shes there or they run into trouble.
A half hour later the two boys breach the other side of the water hole, they scan the area and see a beasts body laying in half and they see a rope that leads up to a ledge. They quietly make their way over and climb up the rope, when Sal made it up on the ledge after the other boy.
A loud hiss and a shadow coming from a cave across te way, Wei pulls Sal down and points over to the tunnel. They quietly and quickly make their ways into the tunnel, they see tracks belonging to two people.
" let's use our shadow step technique to catch up with them both " Wei said as they both use the techniques quickly catching up to the two, Lillian pulls her sword out then stops right against Sals throat.
" where are the others " Lillian hissed as she brings blood from Sals neck, he whimpered and looked at Wei.
" Their waiting at the water hole, here is the communication jade " Wei said handing it over to her, she sheaths her sword then activates the jade.
" Kalina are all of you ok " Lillian said while watching the three boys, she hears the women and another boy cheering in the back ground.
" Lillian were coming to you " Kalina said and Wei teps forward.
" no the snake cam from the cave when we topped the ledge, we used our shadow step to catch up. We don't know if it followed us or still at the water hole, I dont want anyone to run into it " Wei said as he watches the direction they came from, Alec keeps staring at the swords on the boys hips and Sal is aware.
(" I won't stand by like before and let him hurt any of them again, not even Lillian wo we owe our lives to.") Sal thought to himself, as he walks closer to Lillian.
Lillian noticed him watching Alec with a intense stare, she even saw Alec staring at Weis sword.
" we'll make our way to you all head north, go the way we planned and Kalina please keep them safe. " Lillian said as they felt a vibration under their feet, Wei walks over to Lillian and then walk ahead in the tunnel.
" let's use our shadow step to put more distance between us and that thing " Wei said, Lillian nodded her head and used shadow step. The boys all looked at each other then used the quick step as well, twenty minutes later they come to a forked tunnel.
" we'll move north to meet the others, I'll go in this tunnel leading my scent down and then back track to you all " Lillian said as she Shadwed stepped down the opposite tunnel as the boys moved down theirs.
