Titus was feeling... Awfully bored. With nothing to do but watch his team do what they were told, he sat in the throne, crossing his legs in the large stone chair. The young man stayed out of everyone's way, and he was very unhappy with not being able to do anything. So as Victor's and Akemi's team had went off to do what they were planned, he took the time to think about how he would counter the Black team. Going head-to-head and rushing at them would definitely be considered suicidal. Many more of Team White would be injured, maybe even killed if they decided to go with such a tactic. Destroying their headquarters would be the best course of action. If they could even get that far. There would be no reason for the Black King to wait for the white team, other than the fact that fighting in the desert was unfavorable. They had the current upper hand in terms of power, as he had explained to Alexandria before. 'What to do...What to do...Hm.' The silver haired boy leaned back in the throne, to take another good look at the chamber, illuminated in a dark blue. Not able to think of anything, he groaned, and leaned against the stone. For the next hour, he paced around the room, careful not to step on anything or anyone.
An hour or so passed, and Victor approached Titus with good news. They had hunted enough food to last the group a whole week; Much more than they needed! What's more, they had also found a water supply in the forest, which was their main objective. The half breed smiled at Victor, and then remembered he spoke of an attack plan before his group had left. As he was just about to speak, Akemi returned with her scouting group, and a detailed map of the ruins. Wonderful. Everything was coming together, and the White King had no real say in it. He could depend on his teammates, which loosened him up a bit. Looking closer at Akemi, the half breed could see traces of a wound in her arm. His brows rose, as he wondered why she hadn't already asked for someone to clean or even close the wound up. Then again, the same thing had happened to him a few moments ago, and he refused help so he could no be one to judge. As he let out an inaudible sigh, the last "leader" of the team came and took the map.
The blonde haired doctor walked away, to look at the layout of the place, and the silver haired boy followed. He was curious at what the ruins looked like, and what the next course of action his queen would take. Looking over her shoulder to see the map, but of course, she moved once again. As she crouched down and spread the map out on the floor to show the group she was instructing, the young half breed finally got a clear look at what the place looked like. Smiling, he took a step back, and left her to do what she wanted. The young man returned to Victor and Akemi, finally able to speak. "Good work you two. Victor, you can do whatever you'd like while you wait for dinner." The young man turned his head to Akemi, staring at the wound she had in her arm. "As for you, I'd like you to be one-hundred percent, so please, go get that fixed up." The silver haired boy had an assertive tone in his voice, rather than a worried one. Hoping she would listen to him and ask a doctor to at least clean the wound, he walked away from the two, and took another look at the chamber, as he felt there was nothing left but to wait for Alexandria to return.

The queen and her group took only a few minutes more to reach the place indicated on the map, a small nook in the far right corner of the complex. Upon reaching the place, it didn’t look like much. Rumble crumbling over a rectangular wooden inlay. It was a bit obvious to be frank. The white queen motioned her knights forward with a flick of her fingers. They were quick to understand the silent orders: to move and open the “trap door”. The men moved quickly, throwing large stones away and pushing away those too large to throw out of the way. Alexi could only watch them work with interest; the men were quite muscular after all. Soon one of the men pulled on a large metal hoop that seemed to function like a door handle to a door; pulling open the trap door.
It would seem there was indeed at least one more level below. But it was impossible to see what was down below, no visible light below and even the dim light of the rising sun that pierced through the cracks of the ruins failed to shed light into this hole. Motioning once more with a flick of her fingers, pointing down towards the hole one of the dragoons made their approach. A flash light in hand, with a soft click of a button light began to pour out from the light bulb. He pointed the light at an angle down the hole, allowing the queen to peer down.
The ladder down seemed to be sturdy- and even looked “new”. ‘Well then… It would seem they’ve thought of everything, haven’t they?’ Alexandria questioned herself as she grasped the shoulder strap of her bag, pulling it out in front of her as she rummaged through it. Withdrawing her own flashlight, before throwing the bag over her shoulders once more. Clicking the light on the Austrian girl walked close to the hole in the ground. Crouching before placing the flash light in horizontally in her mouth before twisting her body down, grasping the sides of the ladder as she found her footing. Angling her head down she scanned the area as she took her first cautious steps. It would be a long fall should the ladder break or if she slipped. ‘I can’t risk that yet.. My task has yet to be complete.’ The doctor thought to herself as she made her way down.
It wasn’t long till her next step down was met with solid ground. Taking the flashlight from her mouth the queen flashed the light around, but there was nothing of interest about. Just raw stone walls of the cavern below. Pale light poured through random portions of walls… ‘A natural cavern..? What an interesting place to build a castle on. Perhaps in days past this would have been were the peasants stayed… But I suppose that depends on if the ruins are as fake as the city near it.’ The pale haired doctor thought, chuckling at the possibility the ruins were as staged as the city was. It could very well be the truth. Looking back up to her comrades that surrounded the entrance, “It is safe to come down, friends.” Alexandria called out to them, turning away she began to pace about the cavern. Taking note of the number of entrances, three. One on the north side, it was the farthest away, another to the south east and the last due west. ‘hmm..’ She thought to herself, soon her companions joined her. Each holding their flash light, some angling out to get a good look about. Alexandria’s olive gaze met their own for a brief moment, “How about you guys get a feel for the cavern, memorize what it looks like down here. We got to update the map, our trackers didn’t account for this place. I’m going to investigate the stability of those exits.” Her companions only nodded their heads, slightly dipping their flashlights additionally. From there the group parted, while not far apart- they would be close enough should the boogie man appear. Alexandria took her path towards the south eastern exit, it was a short walk- being the nearest of the exits. As the doctor drew closer to the exit, she could feel the heat radiating from the sand outside. ‘And it’ll only get hotter.. I’m glad we’ll be out of here soon.’ Alexi thought to herself, as she pulled the grenades and string she had kept hidden previously. Kneeling down, near the side she tied pale colored string to the grenades once more. This time, setting the trap along the mouth of the exit, a grenade sitting on either side, the thread obscured by sand- it would be difficult to by pass without dying. A dark smile crossing the queens face as she left the heading towards the western exit. Once there she did the same thing, rigging the exit to blow with a false step. With her work done, the queen cleared her face of expression as she began to walk near to her subjects; they began to report about the place. Evidently there wasn’t much there other than the natural pillars. Alexi nodded her head, “All right. The exits seem to be in pretty good condition. I don’t expect any will fall on top of us. Let’s go up, we’ll update the map once we have adequate light.” She told them as they began to draw near towards the trap door.
As the rest of her troupe climbed up the ladder, Alexandria stretched out the map she had taken from Akemi and then the blank paper she had received from the boy previously. A pen in her hand, she began to copy the map on to the blank page, marking the entrance and exits, as well as where their traps were. She did the same on the one she had received from Akemi. Once her group had made the climb, the front half of the maps had been complete. Looking up to those who surrounded her she only asked, “Now you guys have to describe the layout of that cavern. I didn’t get a good look around…” Alexandria said, a certain honesty in her words- not hiding her curiosity. Her comrades began to explain and she drew what they said. It wasn’t put a few minutes before the map of the caverns were complete. The doctor then copied the map to the one she was creating. Capping her pen the queen rolled up Akemi’s map, handing it off to the one nearest to her. “I need to place sutra near the entrance. It will complete the ring we’ve created. You guys can head back I’m sure the deer will be ready now! Oh! And hand that map to Victor. He’ll know what the markings mean.” Alexandria said with a shy smile, her comrades smiled as well- clearly a bit hungry and the sound of food was pleasing. They didn’t question her orders as they walked away. The pale haired doctor quickly stood up brushing herself off before making her way towards the entrance, placing her remaining sutra around it. Before searching for someplace else. ‘Oh. That will do.’ Alexi thought to herself, making her final annotations on her map- the indication of the traps planted in the cavern below before stashing the map away in the cracked wall. The girl then began to run back towards the camp. The warm scents of cooked meat was alluring… She too was hungry.
The doctor soon entered through the hallway she had exited, only an hour before. As the scents suggested, the deer was cooked and a number of team mates were enjoying the meal provided. Alexi could only smile as she began to make long strides towards one of the fires. Finding a seat, the cook offered her a portion of the buck he had been cooking. “Thank you! I’m sure its amazing~” The queen said happily before taking a bite of the warm meat.

Titus had released Victor after his mission at least until food was ready. That pleased him since he had gotten quite hot from the desert sun and wanted a break. Before he found a place to watch the fire, Akemi was returning from her task. Her scouts were in tow and they looked like they had gotten into some dirty places. She was quick to come to him and hand him the map that she had created of the ruins. Although Victor was intended to receive the map, Alexandria had gotten to it first. While he wasn't first to get his hands on it, it would have quickly passed from his hands into hers because of the nature of her task. It appeared that there were a number of traps set already, primitive but useful if the time came to use them. Akemi had taken the time to detail the trigger mechanisms along with their locations. “Good job, Akemi. I'm sure you're thirsty. Get a drink and take a break, we will be having deer soon.” Victor said nodding to the girl. He then followed Alexandria to a group she had taken for her task. He looked over one of their shoulders to see Alexandria looking over the map. Victor could see that the place was big like he expected and there was great potential for defensive devices. She asked them to display their equipment, surely for the traps and whatnot. As they did as she told them, she placed the map before them and began to explain where they would go and why. Victor crossed his arms and circled around them, watching Alexandria work. After explaining the places they would investigate, Alexandria smiled. It was that warm smile that he was used to but that had seemed to get lost in recent events. Victor looked away from the group and looked over the fires gaining strength now. The images of Alexandria's kill in cold blood still haunted Victor but he remained silent, knowing the time was not right to sort those kinds of things out. Looking over his shoulder, Victor saw Alexandria and her group leave. They were to be gone a good while but with good reason. Victor decided to look into the cooking of their meal. He walked up to a pair of students who looked like they knew what they were doing. Some of them took cooking classes and enjoyed the hobby. It wasn't uncommon to have such an interest in culinary arts so it wasn't hard to find one or two people who could fire grill some steaks. Watching the deer go up over the fire made Victor hungrier than before so he removed hi backpack and set it before him. He didn't have much in there but he looked over the few essentials he had. Looking at his watch, Victor decided to check in with the sentries that were posted at the corridors as guards. A simple and short radio check was exchanged and things were returned to normal. It wouldn't be too long before they would make first contact with the enemy and Victor didn't know if they would be ready in time. They had a good system in place and their defenses were being put up. One would expect a night attack by the cover of darkness but Ignazio was confident to attempt anything. As time went by, Victor could see the steaks being handed out to the forces and Victor joined in. Taking a good portion of the venison, Victor began to chow down. It was around that time that Alexandria had returned. Her group was muddy which meant they might have found something not surrounded by walls and stone. The students looked relieved to finally be eating something after a morning under the light of destruction. A Tamer came up to Victor bearing a sheet of paper surely torn from a notebook but paper nonetheless. Victor thanked the girl and looked at the rolled sheet to find a detailed map with more levels than the first map. This one also had markings that looked to be personal footnotes for Victor. Nodding, he continued to look over the map as he bite off some of the soft meat from it's bone. Satisfied, he put the map in his left boot and looked to see that everyone was eating well, with exception to the guards on duty at that moment. He then spotted Alexandria, getting her own serving of venison and finding a seat by the fire. Victor took what he had left of his own meal and sat down beside her. “Hey.” He said with a half hearted smile, looking to the fire as he sat down. Words circled his head like emotions in his chest. “You did a good job on our base. I got your map. I liked it too.” He said giving her a glance before looking at the dancing fire. Victor took a bite from the nearly finished chunk but chewed slowly. It was clear that he was thinking of something else as he spoke to her about their tasks.

After telling Victor what it was she had found and mapped out for them Alexandria had approached the two in mid conversation and took the map right out of her hands. she wasn't aggressive when she pulled the map out of her hands, but it was her comment that made her glare from the corner of her eyes. The last time she checked she was giving the map to Victor, not Alexandria. Even though the female had no true royalty in her blood, she sure was fitting into the role well. Akemi said nothing to the blonde swordsman and just dropped her hand down to her side. Akemi had learned, especially when hanging around Ignazio so much, that in situations like this it was almost better if she kept her mouth shut. All her smart remarks and open thinking often enraged others. She never understood why that was exactly, but her words always angered people. Perhaps it was because she had made a point and they got defensive. Or maybe she had just hurt their feelings in a way, and anger was their only form of defense to hide their true feelings. Regardless of the female smiling as she took the paper from her hand Akemi couldn't help but get annoyed by the female. She watched the girl walk away and started to gather people to venture into the halls of the ruins.
While Alexandria moved around the area talking to people Titus comically moved around her trying to get a look at the map. Akemi couldn't help but stare at the boy as he tried to get a glimpse at the map. 'That boy's hopeless.' she thought to herself in disbelief. Even though Titus was given the role of the King, he certainly didn't act like one. The ironic thing was that he had royalty in his veins, and he still was a lost cause. If anything he should be the one with natural leadership skills. 'I have to admit, he is an entertaining one.' Once Alexandria stopped moving Titus had got a good look at the map and after hearing her plans to go into the ruins he turned and headed over to where Victor and Akemi stood.
When he approached he congratulated the two on a job well done and suggested for victor to take a rest while the meal was being cooked. Turning his attention to Akemi he spotted the wound in her arm. If the ripped fabric around the wound wasn't a good enough sign, the blood that surrounded the rip certainly was a clear sign. He wanted Akemi to get her arm checked out to make sure she was at tip top shape."I understand." she started to walked passed Titus but stopped next to his side and looked over at him."You should take that into account for yourself as well. Remember you will be needed just as much as I." She said reminding him that he ignored care for himself after the skeleton attack.
she walked off and located a doctor that was treating someone else. From the looks of it he was already finishing up his treatment on the young female in front of him. Without looking up the boy flagged her to sit down on the ground next to him. Taking her seat she took a glance at the boys face. She could tell by the look on his face that he was exhausted and tired of patching people up. She could see the gears turning in his head, second guessing his decision to be a doctor. Looking away from the boy she allowed him to finish up what it was he was doing. When he poured the rubbing alcohol on her arm a short stinging sensation was felt on the wound but Akemi's face remained flat. Shortly after he dried the area was a clean swob and bandaged up the wound and set her on her way. By the time the boy was finished Akemi could smell the food in the air.
Standing up from her seated position she noticed that some of the students had started eating already. It was a well needed meal, and from the looks of it, it was a small piece of heaven for some. Akemi got in line and grabbed herself a meal as well. Nodding as a thank you for preparing her the entire she turned and walked away, looking for a place to sit. Most of everyone were sitting into clicks. Akemi however wasn't the sociable type so she searched for a place to sit alone. Next to one of the pillars was an open spot for her to sit. Taking her seat on the ground she sat on top of her legs as she tucked them under her bum. Not far off she could see the flames still burning in the ashes of the skeletons caused by one of the grenades she had used earlier. 'surprised no one had put them out yet.' she had thought to herself. Holding her foot on her hands on her lap she stared at the flames. The danced so elegantly in the air. The color itself was mesmerizing. Her mind drifted off into deep space as her thoughts got lost away in the dancing embers. To her they were almost therapeutic, the light from the flames reflected on her glossing gray eyes. Once she blinked she came too and looked away from the flames and down to her meal. She had no idea how long she was looking at the flames, nor did she care. But she was hungry so she started to feed her body the protein that was so kindly prepared for her. Looking around the room Akemi had noticed that Alexandira had returned and was already sitting down eating her meal as well. 'Strange I don't remember seeing her walk in.' Then took another bite into her meal, savoring the flavor.

Before he made his way to go on his own little "patrol" of the chamber, Akemi had stopped next to him. The princess of Iblis had basically told him to follow his own advice as well, causing him to smirk. Her emotionless tone of voice and expressionless face was always confusing to him, but he knew that she meant well. Or so he hoped. You could never know what a person who showed no emotion was thinking. As she walked away, he put his hands into his pockets, letting out a little chuckle. "Of course.." He agreed with her in a low tone, inaudible to anyone who was not walking near him.
The silver haired boy decided to go get his cut treated properly, since walking around the chamber again would easily lead to boredom. Also, it was a waste of time and energy that could be used for something else; Most likely combat. Sighing, he approached one of the doctors, and squatted next to her. "Alright. Could you disinfect this for me?" The girl gave the silver haired half breed a slight scolding for being so late in asking for it to be disinfected. She also commented that the wound needed more than just disinfecting in order to treat it properly. The half breed gave her a nervous laugh, and allowed her to do her work.
The doctor started with cleaning any blood that was covering the wound with the stinging touch of rubbing alcohol. The silver haired boy did not flinch of course, barely feeling a thing. Pain was something he learned to tolerate, whether it was physical or mental. Seeing to it that the wound was clean, she began to dry it, with a few gentle dabs and pats using a cotton swab. Feeling that it was taking a little too long, and smelling that the deer meat was finished, the half breed proceeded to get up. However, the doctor scolded him once more to make him stay put. There was only one thing left to do, and that was to bandage the wound. Sighing, the silver haired boy did as he was told, and impatiently waited for her to finish. Once the bandage was in place, the young man began to move his arm around to make sure it would not fall off until it needed to, which satisfied the female doctor. The white king bowed in thanks, to express his gratitude to his teammate for treating him properly.
And of course, the young man ran off to get his food, smiling as he got a properly sized portion. They were only going to be stuck there for two, maybe three days tops, and Victor's team had managed to get a week's worth of food. It was the perfect situation for eating a good amount. Smiling, the white team's king thanked the chefs, and the people who served him, and walked off to go find a report of the ruins. Miss Ferdinand was his target for the moment, as she was the one who went off to update the map. The satanic half breed had spotted her eating happily, and began his approach. However, before he reached her, Victor made his appearance to speak with her. The silver haired male smirked, and backed away to let them have their own conversation. A little report could wait. The young man wanted to enjoy his meal without any worries. Eating was that kind of time, regardless of what situation you were in. Well, as long as there was nothing wrong with the food. The young man sat on top of the throne once more, watching the exorcists mingle and speak to one another. They seemed at least a little calm, and at ease for the first time since they got into the ruins. Of course, they were all aware they could be attacked at any moment, but that was what the squads that were on guard were for. Sighing, to calm himself momentarily, the silver haired half demon criss-crossed his legs, and took another bite of the savory meat.

The Wyrm flew through the air as if it was a military grade fighter jet, but was moving a lot faster. The Wyrm’s body soared through the clouds at about ten thousand feet, until the clouds began to vanish. The Wyrm’s speed began to decrease as the dragon looked up at his master and then the lowered his altitude. ”This heat is ridiculous, I’m going to move lower” and with that the dragon dove down, pulling its wings closer to its body and before opening them wide and soaring at eight thousand feet above the ground. Hyorinmaru began to coast around the desert at this height, although now, his physical body would be spotted easily from the ground, due to the lack of cloud coverage and his oversized body ”Master, if you wouldn’t mind, giving us a little cover, it would make this plan of yours go a little more smoothly.” the dragon said as he began to get closer to the ruins. The beast could see the ruins in his mighty gaze, which meant Ignazio could see it as well. ”Hey dog, are you still alive back there with the cat? I didn’t drop you two did I?” the beast asked as he laughed before picking up speed and moving towards the ruins at a faster speed. It wouldn’t be much longer, before Lloyd would have a visual contact as his own master already had through their shared senses. Hyorinmaru’s wings pounded against the hot air, cooling the dry air and bringing moister around the group as he moved. The dragon began to climb in altitude again to avoid being spotted visually by normal humans and most demons. He made sure to stay within alignment of the sun, at the risk of being extremely hot in the process. ”Ignazio, I’m going to need at least a thousand sacrifices after this. This heat is more than torturous to me, it’s cruel to say the very least. So if you’re planning something, could you do it now, I’d rather not be the one to melt and die in a sandy grave it you get my drift.” Hyorinmaru complained before pulling his body to the right to circle around the ruins instead of flying directly towards the ruins and what was the entrance. ”I’ve spotted a few different ways to enter the ruins from this single path, so where are you getting off?”
The tamer kept his body close to the dragon, but his eyes were close a majority of the trip due to the fact he was using Hyorinmaru’s vision as his very own. The dragon was pretty silent during most of the trip after giving away one of his valuable strategies so freely to Lloyd, but Ignazio made sure not to speak on the matter or even mention anything about either technique he was creating by utilizing both demonic magic and fatal verses. With their arrival to the desert the tamer remained cool as he kept close to the frozen scales of the Wyrm, although his familiar complained about the heat Ignazio had something planned for that as well, but he wasn’t ready to unleash it until they were making their pass around the ruins. ”How about you stop talking for a few minutes Hyorinmaru and focus. Stay on your current course, and continue to circle this area. We have a visual on the ruins but from this high up Lloyd can’t see it. We’ll make our presence known soon as we take out any form of counter magic that can be plotting. In an area so open, they don’t have many places they can hide, and if it was me I would have placed all the area out on posts in order to widen the view of the area as if they were an alarm system. But unlike me, Victor is direct and wouldn’t think that way, as for Alexandria she’s more so of a strategist and would plot more toward internal support rather than external. Since we haven’t spotted anyone outside, I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that Alexandria is their strategist, I can’t see anyone else gaining Titus’ trust.” The tamer said as he began to stand up on the back of the dragon. He allowed his feet to stick in between the scales to keep from falling off on the turns. Moving his hands in front of him slowly to his center and then held his hands down towards the center of the ruins a gray glyph appeared before him and soon a rapid circulation of qi swirled around his arms as he prepared his body to release a fatal verse. ”Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
Upon the completion of the incantation the glyph vanished and a dense black fog came spewing out from the center of his two palms rapidly covering the area, blocking all visual aspects completely. In the black fog of the Dark Mist spell, it halted that of magically created light; completely extinguishing any chance of light breaching the mist. In a way it was like a moving barrier, as it also hid the presence of the caster. It was a very elementary fatal verse and was basically a warning of an attack by Ignazio. The tamer lowered his body and clapped his hands together after removing his feet from between the scales in order to seat himself more comfortably on the neck of the Wyrm. Ignazio’s hands changed and turned into the seal of Rin, which was the power of Bishamonten and soon moved his right hand towards his holster on his thigh and opened the pouch before removing two cards from the holster. One card was of an old man holding a staff with the word Magician written underneath it and the other was of a woman wielding a bow, which read Archer. Ignazio’s left hand moved up to his mouth and he bit down on the recently open flesh at the base of his thumb, causing more blood to flow through the bite mark.
”Hyorinmaru, you’ll start by freezing the mist. Turn the place into a arctic tundra, I’ll have Garuda attack from the south side and make her way around taking opening up the area, in order to all your frozen breath to enter the inside of the ruins. Our aim isn’t to kill them, but to bring them out into the open. If they remain inside of a tomb then it will be their grave; and a grave fit for a King no matter how much of a coward he is. The Dark Mist spell, will force them to remain close to each other, as it will creep inside the tomb and alert them of us, but the second they come outside, they’ll be lost in the maze of darkness” the tamer said with his devilish grin before holding the card of the archer in front of the magician and slid his blood dripping thumb over the face of the card. ”Lloyd, you’ll be up after they have all gathered into a single location. I’ll cover you.” he continued before closing his eyes and then opening them wide and began to chant. ”O’Stone of the foundation, O’ Archduke of the Contract. Let the descending winds be as a wall. Set out Judgment under the command of your King! Garuda, come forth!” With the completion of his norito the seal glowed a bright white before a massive cool breeze engulfed the Wyrm’s body and circled around it before a body appeared above the Wyrm; it was the body of the Pazuzu. The wind, pushed the mist further towards the ground carrying it towards its target, as the caster was originally out of range. Along with the mist touching the ground the wind collided with the sand causing it to move into the wind.

It wasn’t long after she had sat down the fair haired fighter had joined her. The Austrian’s olive gaze glanced over to him as he spoke, his words were friendly but something was clearly bothering him. The girl could only begin to wonder what the issue was. Her gaze left her companion, shifting to view the people before her. The King had begun to make his approach but had stopped, and the dark haired dragoon watched her with contempt. ‘b***h.. What is your problem…?’ Alexi thought to herself as she watched the girl. In truth, the Austrian had noticed the girl seemed to dislike her for no reason at all. As if she were jealous of something the doctor had or someone she knew…? ‘Perhaps you wish Ignazio would look at you in the way you desire. I’ve seen how you watch him.’ Alexandria thought as she chuckled to herself, taking another bite of the meat- it was truly well cooked, and quite savory. While no herbs or salt had been used to flavor the meat, it seemed the cook had instead smoked it… How they had managed to do that in the desert was beyond her.
The queen’s gaze returned to Victor, “You didn’t come over here to talk about the map...” Alexandria said shyly as her gaze drifted upwards towards the ceiling, her voice trailing off as she had noticed something was amiss… Something wasn’t right. The natural light that poured into the place had begun to fade… Into the dim shade as if some sort of darkness was coming down upon them. ‘I could be wrong… But I don’t think that was natural…’ The pale haired girl thought as she quickly finished her meal before coming to her feet. Her stance was cautious, and a confused look had crossed her face. Alexi began to take long strides towards one of the hall ways, upon reaching it the girl could see a thick dark cloud of fog drifting towards her. Its movement was unnatural, much quicker than the eerie movements of its natural counterpart. The queen ran back towards her team shouting out to them, “Prepare yourselves, they are here! Keep away from the fog!”
Her people seemed to react immediately picking themselves off the ground as they began to meander around the hall for their weapons. Voices crying out in shock, horror, hatred.. A menagerie of emotion and expressions were expressed- not all of them kind and not all of them in English either. The queen watched her people, ‘They move too slow.. We will surely be caught unprepared…’ she shook her head as she muttered something under her breathe, “What are you thinking…?” Alexi said to herself. Her mind wandering about the fatal verse that had been used, she recognized the dark fog. ‘If I recall it’s a simple verse. Even I could use it. A water based defensive move, but it masks auras and blinds opponents… We will be sitting ducks.. Unless these people move faster.’ The girl raised a hand to her temple as she shook her head once more.
“You’ll need to move faster than that!” Alexi called out to those moving about the chamber. Her steps taking her near to her king, her voice soft as she spoke to him; “I can’t be sure about what he is planning. It is in our best interest to stay out of that fog as it will blind our eyes and make it harder to sense what’s coming. That may be why our Aria failed to sense it coming. But no matter. Victor has the map of the ruins, we discovered an underground cavern beneath this place- there are only three exits that way. What will you have us do, King.” Alexandria asked him.

Pretty much minding his own business, the half breed happily ate his meat. There wasn't any real seasoning on it, but meat was meat; Seasoning or not. It was cooked rather well, despite the fact they were stuck in a desert. This allowed the son of satan to thoroughly enjoy the meat, and of course the half breed enjoyed it to the fullest. Unexpectedly, he had finished his portion causing him to pout. 'I should have gotten more... Maybe I can get seconds?' Smirking, the half breed jumped out of his seat, and headed back to the chefs for more food.
Before he could ask for more, the blonde queen had alerted them; Ignazio and his team were here, and a black fog was entering the ruins. The silver haired king's eyes widened, as he told the chefs to make haste toward the rest of the group. "Dammit, of course he would..." As he continued to rush his team members away from the fog, Alexandria approached him. She wanted him to decide what to do. The young man had no time for hesitation, and answered her firmly. "We're leaving this place through one of the underground exits. There's no hope for us if we get caught in the fog." The young man thought up the possibility that the tamer had brought one of his familiar's to impede them at one of the entrances, and clicked his tongue.
What if that happened then? Shaking his head, he looked at Alexandria once more, before heading off. "We need to inform the group to be ready for combat as well. If its Ignazio, I bet he has somebody or something waiting for us..." With that, he turned to Team White and began barking out orders for the first time. "All troops prepare for combat! Scout squads, lead the way out of here and into the underground passages! Arias, prepare a defensive barrier for when we exit, and EXPECT to be attacked at a moment's notice!" If anything, Victor or Alex could correct or add on to his orders. Hopefully they would listen this time, rather than what they did with the dragon tooth warriors.

Alexandria had seemed to notice his reluctance and pointed it out bluntly. She didn't look at him either, but as Victor turned to her, ready to speak but was interrupted. Apparently, there was a dark mist settling on the land. It sounded like a Verse and it was too extreme to see in the desert. It had to be their enemy. Alexandria had gotten to Titus' side and asked him what they would do. Victor got up as well but as he did, he pulled the radio from a pocket on his vest by his chest and began to talk into it. “Close the gates. Get into battle formations and stand by.” Victor spoke to the guarding squads that manned the entrance gates. It was surely a cover for an incoming attack or raid. Time had come to face off but he wasn't sure just who Ignazio had sent. Titus ordered for them to move into the lower areas of the ruins which was a good move but Victor would have rather fought to hold as much ground as possible before retreating to the next level. However, it was imperative that Titus remain safe so moving him to lower levels was the best move. The Aria heard the Kings orders and began moving out. They split up the entrances among all of them and took cover at the far end of them so they were far from the doors. “Get the Dragoons to the corridors! Get ready to tear into them once they come in!” Victor called over their radios. The Dragoons would fire down the entrances once they had been broken into while the Aria would provide them cover that they could shoot behind from and defend them from projectile attacks. Victor turned to Titus and tried to usher him down one of the corridors that led into a staircase down to the lower level. He then pulled out a map as the remaining forces followed. Victor looked against the wall and the map at the same time and found the place he was looking for on the hallway wall. He knocked on it firmly with the back of his fist, pressing a plate in which opened a secret passage way that led to the lower levels. “One of us should stay back to manage things up here. I'll take up guard duty with Titus, so that they can't reach him.” Victor said, looking back at the others who followed. The troops flowed in through the passageway and down even lower underground. Looking back down the hallway, he remembered that upper rotunda that looked over the throne room. He brought up the radio and spoke once again. “Remember our positions above. Once the enemy is in position, man that station and attack.” Victor spoke to the Assault squads that stayed behind to fight.

The members of Team White had began to enter their positions for battle and follow the duties they were given. The inside of the base was struggling around as they went from a leisure sitting to a state of high alert.
Answering the call of her master’s summons, the winged Pazuzu soared alongside of the great Wyrm as her master explained his plan to her. She nodded her head and began to fall backwards allowing the wind to take hold of her as the dragon’s speed forced her backwards. ”Protect master Ignazio, Hyorinmaru, I’ll began my assault now.” The Pazuzu allowed herself to be taken hold of by the wind and soon spread her wings wide and began to glide around the ruins. ”As my master wished. I shall blow away all those that befall my master.” Her body became still as she reached behind her back with her left hand and removed her lower two wings revealing the bow. She took aim and placed her hand on the thread between the two ends of the wigged bow. Pulling back with her right hand on the thread wind began to gather as the Pazuzu’s wings flapped keeping her steady with the air. Garuda looked down at the mist that had engulfed a single area. Her eye sight moved through the darkness as she kept a strong hold on the arrow of wind that was created. Upon finding the center of the mist from her location she couldn’t tell if there was a building or anything underneath the mist. All the demon knew was that her target was within the thick black fog created by her master. Garuda released the string firing the arrow at a rapid speed. As the arrow pierced through the mist it exploded creating thousands of arrows to shower the area. She moved quickly flying towards the south end of the mist but as she flew she continued to fire arrows into the mist allowing them to shatter and create multiple arrows of wind, instead of a large arrow that could possible miss its target. The smaller arrows still packed a great enough amount of power to blow holes through solid stone. The demon continued to fly around the circle of mist and fire arrows, one after another.
Hyorinmaru laughed as he flapped his wings hard after the Pazuzu’s message. ”What a loyal pet you are Garuda.” he mocked as the Wyrm’s wings moved three times before spreading outwards. The demon soon pulled its body down towards the outside layer of the mist and opened its mouth wide as, it brought forth a chilling void. The void of energy was a white-blue in colored and as the large wings began to slide into the mist before being pulled closer it its body before breathing out a freezing mist of his own. The white-blue icy mist spewed from the Wyrms mouth was an extremely large mass of cold air which in this form was a fog of liquid nitrogen and dry ice particles. The two types of mist collided and the black mist began to freeze rapidly as the dragon moved along the east side of the ruins. Moving its neck upwards, the beast accelerated the freezing process by spewing the high freezing mist to collide with the water particles of the Dark Mist Spell. The breath of the Wrym was a wide-area deceleration attribute oscillation type of demonic magic. Wyrms were among the strongest ice based demons and with that being said the ice was created from this S-Rank demon, it wasn’t going to be a simple task escaping. Hyorinmaru pulled back and flapped his wings hard to gain altitude as he moved to the western side of the ruins. ”Freezing the mist itself, causing them to be forced to use specific exits, as well as change the properties of the Fatal Verse to one that freezes everything it touches. I must admit, master this is an genius plan. You’ll have their escape routes cut off, it’s like hunting in an open area.” the beast boasted as his wings flapped and began to breath more of the fog of liquid nitrogen from its mouth causing the top layer of the dark mist to freeze over as well.
Ignazio kept himself low on the back of Hyorinmaru as he watched the frost colored fog meet the dark colored water particles that crafted the basic spell. Ignazio smirked as he watched as Garuda made her rounds; firing multiple arrows into the mist creating holes through the ruins. ’This is perfect so far, as long as we keep them confined, Garuda doesn’t need to see her target as long as she continuously fires she’ll hit someone eventually. Although that’s to say if they remain in one location, I really didn’t take into account that the ruins could go deeper underground. Although even if they could, the gas that Hyorinmaru is breathing out is what I like to call Niflheim, although really it is a compressed form of a demonic spell known as Gokkan Jigoku or better known as Frozen Hell, and the name actually means what it says. It lowers temperatures to that of an Absolute Zero, which basically freezes everything anything and everything it touches.’”This is the start of what I like to call Inferno; the frozen mist that Hyorinmaru is breathing is known as Gokkan Jigoku, but as he told you before, I call it by another name. Niflheim. We’re sealing their movements to specific locations. Due to the distance of the Dark Mist spell, even if they manage to dig their way through a tunnel or something of that nature, there is no way its exit should be too far from the temple itself. These exams aren’t really built for helping the participants stay alive. So if my calculations are correct, they’ll be trapped within a barrier of freezing mist rather than the original purpose of the Dark Mist.” The tamer began to laugh after explaining the plan and watching as the outer layer of the mist began to freeze and take on a shell like appearance of pure ice. The ice was crawling around the mist freezing everything it touches, meanwhile it was lowering the temperature dramatically within the frozen barrier. Ignazio raised his head up slightly as his hair swirled passed his eyes rapidly as they moved through the air. The male looked over to Garuda and closed his eyes, suddenly they opened.
”Garuda, once you’ve completed making the necessary entry areas I need you to continuously fire ruins now. With the color change of the Dark Mist and it being turned into Nifl…I mean Gokkan Jigoku, you’re aim should be a lot better. Fire as many arrows as it takes to draw their attention to a single side; Every ten minutes change locations and wait ten seconds before firing again.” Ignazio called out to her before looking down at the sand ’This battle location is a bad place for Lloyd to fight…hmm I guess we could do something about that.’ the male moved forward and pet Hyorinmaru on the side of his neck. ”Bring us closer to the front of the entrance of the ruins and hover for a few minutes.” Turning his head he looked at Lloyd and smiled. ”We’ll have to do something about this sand so you can take out the masses. I’ll work as an air assault for you. Leave Titus to me, I just need you to buy me enough time. Keep Victor occupied for as long as possible. You can take out all the underlings you want from the other schools. But Titus is my target; alright?” Ignazio said as the warm wind brushed passed his cheeks gently. ’But now the question is, what can I do with all this sand that could even make this area suitable for battle.’ The young exorcist in training began to think on the fatal verses he knew. Fatal Verses were supposed to be used to subjugate and destroy demons, but they had many practical uses, it was hard to keep up with all of them from time to time. ’That’s it! I could create a battle field with the talismans, by utilizing the basic elements and causing them to create a large scaled area.’ Removing his right hand from the side of the dragon, he reached into his blazer grabbed a hand full of talismans. ”Ten should do the trick.” he mumbled to himself as he waited for Hyorinmaru to take them to their destination.

It wasn’t long after the queen had gotten her answer that a barrage of ear shattering sounds began to echo the chamber. The fair haired doctor knew well what the sound was the result of- she had been on the receiving end of the hail of arrows that struck the place now. ‘Garuda.. But she isn’t using full force…? I’m sure Ignazio has grown strong enough to blow this place to pieces if that is what he desired.’ She thought to herself as her gaze shifted upwards, realizing the arrows were piercing the stone- holes. Through which the blackened mist began to pour through. The Austrian scratched her head a moment as she began to think, ‘It has to be more than that.. You wouldn’t waste you qi to ensure we are blinded. You’ve something up your sleeve don’t you, King..?’ Alexi wondered to herself, her gaze shifting away. This time looking off towards the hallway she had just left. The blackened mist had begun to fill the place- none of them would be able to see or sense what was coming too well. Not till it was too late at least.
While her olive gaze rested on the mist filling the chamber- the blackened mist began to change. The warmth of midday shifting to a bitter cold, and the mist.. Well it was only the method of delivering the bone chilling cold. Those nearest to the hallway seemed to succumb to the cold, some falling over into a frost induced coma- there wasn’t much to be done for them. ‘Tch.. No way we can save them. No way we can stay up here either. We need to move to the lower cavern. It’s the only hope to draw them into the space. We risk the ruins falling on top of us.’ Alexandria thought to herself as her gaze returned to her king but her words rang out for all to hear, “We can’t stay up here, we have to go down below! Scouts lead the groups down towards the cavern. We haven’t much time! Keep close! The warmth of our bodies should help keep us alive!” The team responded, shouts echoing the room as scouts began to organize the parties. Shortly after people began to stream out of the place, heading out towards the trap door which she had discovered just an hour before.
Alexi followed suit, guiding another group of people towards the underground cavern, thankful that the people before moved quickly through the small hole. Once having made her decent into the cavern she clicked her flashlight on, guiding those nearby towards the center of the place.
OOC:We need to get a move on guys. There is still another exam to complete =w=;

Shortly after he had given orders, the half breed could hear the sound of... Explosions? However, the ruins were not crumbling at the rate it should have, if there truly were explosives thrown around. Trying to find the source, the silver haired half breed could see that more black mist was seeping through what seemed to be holes. The young man looked behind him, only to see the unfortunate members of Team White succumbing to the mist and with a single touch, their bodies fell to the ground. 'So its more than just a way to blind us...' Clicking his tongue, the half breed followed Victor as his queen tried to motivate the members of team white to move faster into the underground cavern.
'He's looking to flush us out into the open... We're definitely not going to survive if we get touched by the mist...' Titus thought, as he looked at Victor. Stand on guard duty? For what? There's no way they could guard ANYTHING if they were frozen. He looked toward Victor, who was currently speaking to the Assault squads. "Where do you suppose we go, Victor? We're sure to keel over if that mist touches us,like those guys did back there..." The silver haired boy was curious with what his knight had planned, but tried to remind him that the mist wasn't something that they could fight in, let alone move in without being frozen to death. The temperature had already dropped with the mist in place, which was definitely a sign that that mist was capable of making a desert feel as cold as the arctic.
