Kael made his way across as well, shadowing Acelin in case the other should fall, wary of the drop below. By the time the two made it across, he was even paler than usual, if possible, and a bit shaken. He pulled Acelin into a tight hug, taking a deep breath. He stayed that way for a moment, giving the two a chance to calm down, before, nodding as Acelin pointed straight ahead, at one of the doors. "All right, then," he said. "Here goes nothing."
((Susie, did you want to describe the room, since Acelin remembers it, or did you want me to come up with something just based on the description you gave me..?)) ******** Esqyn frowned, seeing the bridge, instantly not liking the looks of it. He hugged Louie close tightly, keeping him close. Stroking his hair, he tried to reassure the boy and cheer him up. "Maybe they're just getting to be really good... 'friends', and wanted some alone time with each other," he told Louie, winking.
As he cuddled Louie, he glanced at the bridge again. "Well," he said softly, "what do you trust more? This bridge, or my wings?"

((wanna wait a bit? Since all he could remember was it was dark and stuff, he how it turns out in the end?))
As they walked forward Acelin grabbed Kael's hand without realizing it, shaking, as they walked forward. As they approached the door Acelin placed his hand on it, cool damp wood but slightly soft as if rotten a bit. He didn't see or feel a handle on it as he pushed but it seemed stuck. He pushed against it once more with quite a bit more force as it came free.
Walking in he saw it was a dead in, but his mind started throb slightly, okay he remembered this room. Someone was with him but he had no way of telling. But he did remember feeling somelike like wind and cold. He took another step forward almost falling. Regaining his balance he looked at the hole, well more felt it wasn't open gap or anything the cavern. Instead it was more like a slide. "A slide..." his voice trailed off.

(Sorry for the wait, Oatmeal.)
Sam shifted ever so slightly, and yawned a bit, but it wasn't out of boredom or anything like that. He had been outside long before he noticed Amune, and running about like a little wild animal when he was a fox. Raising his arms above his head he stretched as much as he could without harming himself, letting out a small sound that meant he felt better.
"So, anything you want to do when you feel up to it?" He asked curiously, and relaxed his shoulders where he sat. Watching Elan, and Amune, glad that everyone likes the silly but cute ferret that certainly loves meeting new people.

Amune giggles wildly as Elan scurried under his shirt. He was almost ridiculously ticklish. He couldn't squirm away from it though, considering. Once he managed to get the laughter under control, he was able to answer Sam,
"....I don't know. I've never been to a place like this before. I mean...I lived in a town that was in the middle of nowhere!" He smiled widely, petting Elan through the fabric of his shirt, giggling again,
"I think it's better if you decided what you want to do, and I can tag along! That way I won't get horribly lost! That would be so embarrassing!"

"I'd probably get lost to," he smiled a bit embarrassedly. "I never really explored the place before other than just a couple places like the bedrooms, the library, and things. This place was always too big sometimes, I just got a little skittish about it a bit before."
Sam was interested in exploring, but he didn't want to get carried away and lose sight of Amune. He knew how he reacted when he was getting close to something, and he could feel it. Biting into his cheek a bit.

((Sure thing. ^^ Just let me know whenever Acelin wants to go into a room he doesn't recognize if you want to find a new room, and until then you can describe the rooms that he does remember.))
Kael squeezed Acelin's hand gently, trying to reassure him. The place was starting to rub his nerves the wrong way, just from the atmosphere and set-up of everything. All of these narrow bridges, and now a chute leading further into the darkness..? What in the world was Ahkra thinking when he built this place? Unless... it was possible that this place had been abandoned before Ahkra came here. He could have fixed parts of it up, specifically the main levels, to live in. Was that the case?
After all, this place wasn't just a school. It was Ahkra's home. And, over time, it had become other Elements' and Incarnations' home as well. It was more than big enough.
"Do you... want to go down it?" Kael asked, a bit uncertain. He would definitely follow Acelin where ever the boy went, wanting to protect him and keep him safe. He wondered what the deep underground held, frowning a bit in anxiety. ******** Elan instantly perked up at the mention of exploring, chirping happily and snuggling close to Amune happily. His small white ears perked up, tail swishing back and forth - incidentally against Amune's skin - wanting adventure.

Elan's movment only sent Amune into another fit of laughter in which he frantically tried to get the ferret to stop moving. After he managed, once again, to sober up (cheeks flushed a very healthy color) he reached out with one hand to touch one of Sam's,
"I would love to go out and explore!" he hesitated, "But I would like it even more if you stayed with me. That way, even if we get lost, we won't be alone! It would be fun!"
Amune just hoped that he wasn't too tired. He was certain he was okay, and that he would be able to get up and walk around (what kind of daemon would he be if he couldn't?) but he didn't want to worry anyone by collapsing in some deep dark corridor. That would be bad.
He wondered absently if, since he seemed so excited, Elan would tag along.

Elan happily licked Amune's cheek, snuggled close with a loud purr. ~Can I go, too?~ he asked, keeping close happily. He gave them both the most adorable expression he could in order to convince them, one ear up and one down, head tilted slightly to one side, blue eyes wide and begging. He gave a cute whimper, snuggling close lightly.

Blinking a bit quicker, if not momentarily, when Amune touched his hand he looked at the boy again. "It's alright, I'll stay with you. And if we do get lost or separated, I have a trick to help us find each other again, okay?" He smiled softly, wanting to make sure something didn't happen to either of them after all.
Looking over to Elan he grinned lightly, "And I'm sure that little Elan wants to come to, and I don't mind that." He smiled watching the clearly begging routine that just didn't quite fit a ferret but a puppy.

Amune grinned in excitement,
"Yay! Sounds fun!" he was quickly petting the ferret again, "Of course you can come, Elan! It'll be better with more people! Power in numbers......or something like that," he said, giggling.

"I'm not so sure myself, I've been studying it ever since I could read." Jackal responded to the man, watching him out the corner of his eyes. His dark bangs hiding the boys eyes a bit, and he shifted onto his left leg as either hand fumbled something in his pockets. Though at this age he was able to easily hide his wings, and some other things he didn't want people to know about.

Shin meekly nodded, and shuddered at the sensation when he was suddenly being warmed up by the stranger's magic. He felt a shiver roll down his spine when the man let him free of the hug, watching him with a slight bit of confusion as to why he moved away after saying that. But as he focused a bit more he could read the true form the man's aura took, if not briefly out of his exhausted state. "...I," he stammered inaudibly, before going silent as Raien shapeshifted. Blinking tiredly, and in surprise, he didn't move at first until the dragon nuzzled him. "...o-okay." Shin hesitated, but slowly got closer, and climbed up onto the dragon's back but suddenly hug onto his neck for dear life.

Sam was thoughtful for a moment, trying to think about which way they should go first. There were several hallways, and even levels, that he hadn't been to himself and things seemed to change on a whim. Biting into his cheek a bit, he raised his right hand behind his neck in thought.
"I'm not sure where to start, really. All the halls, and floors I haven't gone to sound exciting to explore."

((Alrighty))
Acelin looked down the chute the feeling of wanting to run was stronger now, he froze slightly. He was shacking lightly. He felt something bad was down there he glanced at Kael, he seemed slightly annoyed but different from how Acelin was feeling. He took many deep breath trying to calm himself. He starred down there more he mind fighting to memory repression and showing him. He was getting a really bad headache from this.
He sighed as he swung his legs out dangling over the chute, even if he chickened out now he would becomming back here anyways. Why put off something tomorrow when it can get done today? He sighed as he slig his foot over the stone slide. It was somewhat steep but slippery he sighed. At Kael's question he shook his, "Honestly no, but I might as well get this over with now." he said voice was teadier than he thought.
Acelin pushed himself down the chute, the wind and cold stone felt familiar as he sped down. He couldn't see at all but his terror was turned into axiety from the slide. He felt like he was rushing down the largest water slide or something like that... until he ended crashing into...onto cold stone damp floor.
