Rafael blinked rapidly, trying to see the horsemen and prove to himself once and for all whether or not they were real. He tried to call for help, but found that he didn't have the strength.
Maybe if he could turn into his natural form, he thought, vaguely. Maybe it wouldn't hurt so much if he were a rat.....
But he couldn't get the pin off. He couldn't even move.

As she tried to pull herself back together after, tried to remember that it would be a bad thing to let the strange symbol below suck her away completely Zurine became aware of a strange buzzing noise in her head, louder and louder, a sound that almost made her ears feel like they were going to explode and on and on it went in the background.
A dizzyness started to overcome her and she reached her hand out to steady herself and it was almost as though even that small motion made the buzzing in her ears start up loader then ever before until she wasn't sure if she should keep trying to get away or just curl up in a ball and cover her ears - although she knew that if she gave into that temptation that would be the end of her. Probably forever.

If the draw had not been so strong, Taryn wouldn't have approached the cavern in the first place. She wanted to know everything about this clan, about their traditions and the daily lives, about their members... but curiosity killed the chimera. As she wandered through the halls, the ghoul could do nothing but stare in awe. What were these used for? Why had this cave been constructed in the first place? The paintings were graphic and... intense. They were amazing. Taryn had always known how serious the connection was between the Clans and Hunters... this only solidified her beliefs. She wanted to explore every cavern for hours, she wanted to learn the Clans from the inside... maybe it could be best to fin herself a guide to show her the proper way, to keep her from falling down any crevasses and getting stuck for eternity. Something drew her on, though, and it was something strong. It almost felt like... home. Like a part of her. As much as the ghoul willed herself to turn back, this strange force was stronger than her desire, and she continued on.
Still, the FEAR drew her deeper and deeper into a place that she should never have been. Taryn had no idea of the danger that waited, and her logic did not apply; she simply didn't care. Whatever this was was strong enough to pull herself and, it appeared, several other students into this cavern, and it had to be important. As she walked, the chimera's pace began to pick up. The drawings on the walls shifted into obscurity, and the curiosity about the open cavern to their sides was leaving. She had a goal, but she didn't know what it was.
Upon reaching the final chamber, the chimera realized that this perhaps was not the best place to be. She felt life leaving her, her very existence being torn apart. While it didn't quite hurt, it was terrible, it was terrifying, and she had to get out. She saw Rafe only fleetingly and then collapsed, panting desperately as she reached out to steady herself. Something new had appeared, strange red symbols, she was drawn to them and entirely repelled by them simultaneously. What were they? Were they responsible for what was happening, or was it that... symbol. Light was emanating from the horror beneath, and that was never a good sign. Why was this chamber so easily accessible by the visiting students? It could be assumed that the Horsemen were told from early life to never come to this place... why had they not been warned?! Perhaps it was a lesson meant to be learned the hard way, maybe the Cans were not so friendly as she had believed--
Taryn's heart was giving in, and her image flickered. In a moment she was not there, but thank Jack she appeared again. She could feel her everything dissipating, being drawn into this thing, this rune, whatever it was. She had never been so afraid, not at Christmastival, not during the trials. Please, please, she had to get out. The red ghoul gave an expression of great strain and tried to push herself to her feet.

Taryn gave a mighty shove and grunted, only to feel hard stone against her ribs. She paused a moment, pressing her cheek to the cool, rough floor and closed her eyes. Just a moment to breathe, that was all she needed... but was a moment too much? The thought shot across her brain, the only place where there was any energy left. When her body was weakened, felt made of wood, her brain was still active and whirring. It hadn't failed her yet. A moment might be too much; this thing could take her apart just by existing, and there was no way that this would take her when the trials had not.
She scrambled against the stone, pushing herself up by her numb fingertips and scraped her hooves against the grit. Please, please-- yes! It was only a clumsy lunge forward and a skinning of knees, but it was progress. With a determined roar, Taryn lunged to her feet and just... began to run. Sure, it was mostly wild flailing and she had no idea where she was going, but she had to get away from this. The threat was dimming, and the exhaustion was beginning to set in. Her eyes closed, the chimera fell hard against the wall and felt herself leaning backward.
The ghoul gave a loud grunt as she threw herself against the stone a final time, feeling the unrelenting sun of the Famine isle pounding at her back. The draw of FEAR was present, but not enough to make her consider ever coming back. That was a cave where deaths were forged. Taryn pulled herself to her feet, feeling like she'd been run-through, and leaned against the wall as she stumbled out into the light.
The desert had never been so welcoming.

Who was nearby? Taryn? Zurine? he thought he could hear them...he wondered if they could see him...if someone could help him....
...Why weren't the horsemen paying any attention?!! Couldn't they tell that there were students suffering here?
Or was that the point? Was this all just a trap?

Suddenly, everything felt....better. The pain was gone. Actually, everything was gone. A deep, wonderful, beautiful calm spread through him, washing over him as he lay....somewhere. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered.
He was....giving up his FEAR.
He was....a shield.
He was.....everything....as one....so...sleepy......
He blinked, suddenly back in his own body, suddenly vibrantly aware of everything that was going on. The edge of the pain seemed to be taken off, just slightly, but the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion seeping into him.

It was almost like the symbol and the glyphs and the strange almost living fear that came from them understood what she was thinking because no sooner did she consider curling up in a ball and she was suddenly tempted by the blissful almost right feeling she'd expirienced before. Perhaps it was because she had expirienced it before or many it was because Zurine just had a very strong desire to not cease to exist but she snapped back to herself quicker then before and found herself struggling to move back towards the stairway and the way out. If she could only get far enough away from the alcove then she'd be alright...somewhere in the back of her mind she knew it and she grasped onto this hope with all of her being.

The Fear at the center of the room vibrated as it purred, pulling Aleria closer. Quote: You must keep rolling until your student until they have successfully escaped!

RP OUT EACH RESULT. - If you manage to successfully exit this RP (with the dice rolling) AND write over 800 words, please give yourself 3 BONUS Four Clans points. You can only claim this once per student. Make sure to link your post when claiming these points. 61 - 80: Everything goes numb and for a second, and you feel good, better than you have for a while. It feels peaceful, perfect, complete. You will be part of the Clans, you will be a protector of this Clan, watching over it with your Fear, with The Fear, the essence of what you all are: a barrier, a means to guard your clan from any harm in the purest essence - - You wake up, back in your body. Maybe you realise how close you were to disappearing entirely. Maybe it would be more terrifying if you weren't so tired.

As the rooms fear tried to overcome her mind once more she thought she saw..though she wasn't entirely certain she wasn't hallucinating... the sight of clansmen carrying objects around her, she had no idea where they were going or why they weren't being overwhelmed by the fear like she was but wherever they were going they were doing so in large numbers.

He felt around on the floor, half-heartedly looking for a way to get his hands and feet back under him. He wasn't even sure if he was succeeding. Everything was fuzzy and he was so weak...

Contentedly, Aleria floats through the air, becoming one with the very meaning of protection. They were a sanctuary. This would be a sanctuary.

Just a bit closer to the stairs but no Zurine was suddenly overcome by the feeling of right again and you know what..this time she almost..almost just decided to give in and stop fighting. But the fleeting moment of weakness was just that..fleet and before long she was back to herself and struggling once more to get away from the alcove and its strange fear.
