More time had passed and Ryan figured it was time to finish what he started to do. So very carefully and with one last wary look around the labyrinth, he approached the altar with the flowers still clutched tightly in his arms.
Even now, he still wasn't quite sure how to approach this. Nor did he know how many he should risk. But when it all boiled down to it, the more miasma they got their hands on, the better their chances. He would have to try purifying them and hope for the best possible result. Or else well... he didn't really want to think about the other possible outcome.

The monsters were relentless, but Alastair wasn't ready to give up just yet. He slashed his way through the forest in determination.

Swamp. The worst. The worst.
Stormy stumbled away from a creature's claws, kicking it feebly since she was caught off guard. "Stay away from these robes! I'm a noble now!"
That would teach them.

Alastair was getting exhausted from running and fighting, the wounds from his escape weren't helping either.

The first zone was harmless enough and Jay walked through it easily. Her arms idly reached for the long stalks of grass and the unruly hedges that dotted the garden, but her touches brought no ill side effects. They were just ordinary fauna, and she would prefer to keep it that way for as long as possible. Her nose crinkled as she heard voices behind her, but shrugged before continuing on.
And then she came upon the swamp. Jay’s lips twisted into a disgusted scowl. “Disgusting.” Having a pair of wings sure would’ve been a lucky thing to have so she could avoid soiling her dress and shoes, but alas. Sea green eyes took in the pairs of yellow peering at her from the murky waters. Her mouth remained in a frown as she continued to trudge forward.
Then the beasts attacked. Jay shrieked as she picked up the pace. “Nofairnofairnofairnofair!!”

"Right behind you! Er, ahead," Crispin replied sheepishly, feeling foolish for being so spooked for no reason. He walked with the remainder of the group into the next part of the maze.
The hedges wound thicker and deeper. The air began to get humid the farther they seemed to be moving ahead, until Crispin swore he could hear the faint bubbling and sloshing of water...
And then his boots started sinking.
"Oh dear," he muttered, quickly pulling his feet up with a pop of mud. The hedges were giving way to long grasses and deep, sinking puddles. Something loud buzzed by. Looking ahead, he could see a dead, fetid area, with a sulfurous smell that made his nose wrinkle.
Alastair's sudden shout startled him. Crispin jumped, and then grabbed for the man impulsively, but Alastair ran so damn fast that he'd practically flown away.
"Wait! Harland, follow him!" he shouted, sloshing forward.
-- Only for something to grab his ankle and trip him, ineffectually dragging him into the muddy bog. Crispin landed with a loud splash as he was yanked beneath the surface, something coiling painfully around his leg. He scrabbled at the sandy, muddy ground-- until finally catching onto a thick piece of grass.
The slimy object yanked impetuously at his leg, before giving up, and simply slithering away. Crispin surfaced from the water several feet away, coughing and gasping for air.

Ah yes, perhaps it wasn't the best way to describe it. But after running into several white kingdom folk on his way in, he hadn't much else to say. He mused over her statement, nodding a bit. It wasn't a bad trait, and perhaps he understood the term. In a way, now that they were in such a situation, the other survivors felt more like family than anything else. He did want to see them all well.
And yes, he also did not see the gold as family. Even if they did accept them to a degree. Perhaps they never would be. "We're a strange group I suppose. At least in their eyes. A kingdom that could be anything, but chose to be nothing?" He chimed, smiling lightly as he shook his head. It didn't matter, it was her choice. "I am not one to choose a side, I was merely thinking we might all be accepted. If so, all the more saved." He sighed slightly. "But even then it is still at great cost, and... it would result in fighting someone." He shook his head, staring off at the darkness of the far point of the room. "It... isn't a winning situation for anyone. We can only try?" He added, reaching out to lightly pat her head as he turned to walk toward the far end again.
"That said, if we still intend to go... we should. Before it gets worse." As morbid as the thought was, perhaps some of the other members around there would be a distraction to the beasts. They might get through easier that way. As well, if he did not return, that gold might grow worried. To a degree, he believed Kashi was sent to keep an eye on him. Make sure he didn't do anything to jeopardize the gold kingdom. After all, they knew a bit as well.

His bangs are long in the front on each side and tied to keep some manner of order to them. He has sky blue eyes to add to a fairly pale complexion.
Acerium was done with flowers for a moment. Not 'done' done, but happy done. she was happy with her painful prickly flowers. "Isn't it?" agreed Acerium, hopping or possibly skipping over to Imryn, even though it made her head hurt. Flowers flowers flowers!!! Maybe she would keep the bog after all? These werent in a bog, but bogs werent all that bad! Right? The bitemarks on her arm begged to differ. "Thats a lovely bouquet you have there!" she brandished her own collection, "Are you travelling alone?"

Technically moving on to the next sector. wont be rolling for flowerz in this sector anymore. Will RP a little more if i am awake tonight. Unless everything falls apart, she will post in the next sector in the morning.
It seemed the vicious creatures were finally receding and Alastair slowed his pace to catch his breath. He wandered towards the next section, clearly exhausted from his violent little adventure.

The bog was clearly a place of terrible things.. Harland watched in mild horror, at first, as Alas ran through and tried to use the strategy of run like hell and hope it worked.
Not a good strategy, clearly: Alas was getting really wounded. Harland tried to make it there; maybe he could carry Alas out, or at least tend to his wounds...
In the ideal world. As it was, he wasn't certain he could make it that far out; Alas had clearly gone kinda wild with his running. And Crispin'd already met with a nasty creature, too.
"I'm trying, Crispin!" Harland called out. Louder, towards Alas, he yelled: "Would you kindly stop racing ahead! You're going to get yourself killed, or worse!" Harland fretted, the worry in his voice mixed with irritation.
The second he set foot into the mire and murk, he was already in trouble, and he could tell this was not going to be a fun Swamp.

Except these monster apparently like noble flesh. Innocent noble flesh.
With a squeak she swatted at the things with her broom, since running away wasn't getting her far.

Basically as soon as Harland was even able to step foot into the bog and attempt to chase after Alas, Alas had already made it to the other side.
"Kitten, could you kindly not get eaten before we reach you! Thank you, doll," Harland yelled towards the far side. He was keeping an eye on Crispin as he attempted to progress.
Something snapped at him as he tried to run, and he twisted his ankle, falling into the murk.
It was not a good place, here. Could he get any Miasma for the King, at all? They had been so kind to them, after they lost their home... Harland picked himself back up out of the murk.
He had to do this. Alas couldn't wander through the maze, alone and hurt...

Harland developed a new strategy: move as slowly and surely as possible, testing each step before he moved. As much as he could, anyway. He took his pack of tools and gold and leather scraps off where it was secured and held it above his head, trying to make sure that even if he fell again, his precious items would not be ruined.
It was all he had left of Silver Kingdom, now, apart from Kitty and his new friend Crispin.
"I'm starting to think we would have been better off sitting this out..." Harland muttered darkly to himself. He was also storing a few more would you kindly inside himself; when he was stressed out, it turned out he said it with alarming frequency.
