Alianae followed behind, waiting for Kalios to answer.

Kalios looked up as the tunnels shook. "Ellesmera. The tunnel bypasses all of Du Weldenvarden's wards, making it a prime ambush path. That's why there's so many false turns. And why the walls ingest anyone waiting too long. It'll take much shorter than normal travel to Ellesmera. We should get there before the dragons do. And if one of them were here, we could fly through the tunnel," he said, and continued walking through the tunnel, the gems playing tricks on the wall, giving an illusion to water's reflections.

Alianae paused. "No..not quite true. The tunnels only lets some dragons pass through. And..I do not think a Warden could ever be ingested in.. but otherwise, you are correct. And on some people, it has the effect of forcing them to tell the truth." The tunnels shook again, an a sort of warning groan went through. "Well, I know I wouldnt' like to stick around and see what happens. Kalios, do you remember the way?"

Kalios looked over at Alianae. "The walls change all the time. But they still tell me the way. In fact," Kalios stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes wide open, his hand over his stomach, his mouth forming silent curses, feeling the pain of Sora's wound.

((Nothing much happened. Just Alianae, Kalios Kalco going through tunnels.))
Alianae turned when Kalios didn't finish his sentence, her eyes widening. "Okay. Two options. We help Kalios now and risk the walls or we get out and then help." she said.

Kalios looked at Alianae. "No," he said, clutching his stomach. "I'll last. The walls won't," he said, and staggered forward. "I can feel Minae," he whispered. "And Sora needs help more than I do," he whispered, then heard the grounds shake, accompanied by a dragon's roar. Terra's roar.
Terra felt Sora's pain. Whether she only felt it because of Sora's scream, or because of their actual connection, she wasn't sure. But she kept it bottled up inside until she was at a breaking point, and let it all out in a ground-shaking scream of sound and fire.

((I'm going to write this down as if Minae was recounting the event, becase it sounds better to me, somehow...))
It was like... The ground was a carpet, and it had been pulled right under my feet, leaving me falling to a terrible feeling of solitude...
As best I can remember from what happened, a saddened, death-invoking scream tore the gap of silence after Terra's mourning and pained roar. Tears were overflowing my eyes as I ran to Sora's bleeding corpse. all I could do was stare as I lay helplessly beside him, holding his hand, growing ever so whiter.
"Sora, I cried between sobs, Please, just stay with me, don't die on me now!"
In a blissful attempt to avenge Sora's eventual, if not immediate death, I unleashed a magick within me I never knew I had; Aye, green magick it was, but the power in it... I though I was going to tear the world apart jnust by feeling it. Words with meanings that eluded me flew out of my mouth, and the magick I feared was unleashed upon the cloaked assassin. I know not wether his intentions were sane or if they were from cautions taken to a too great measure, but I know that when I opened my eyes after lowering my arms, a large gap in the ground and between trees in the shape of a crescent moon was all that was left of the man that had tried to kill the one so close to me.
After that, I was all but too aware that the archers in Du Weldenvarden ahad their arrows poited on me, and they were ready to shoot me doen if just an eyelash fluttered. As I closed my eyes anew to cast a barrier, the familiar thwang of bowstrings resonated in my ears. The barrier was set just a split second before the arrows were to kill us both, Sora and I. Never in my life had I been so terrified... If I was ever terrified before, that is.
"Elves of Alagaesia! Fear me not!, I shouted, I am Minasia of Alalea, Ruler of the continent from whence you came! The man that lay beside me is my loyal friend and Rider, so please, I beg of you... Take him to your greatest healers!"
My words could not be mistaken for lies; I spoke truthfully in the acient language. Through the bushy trees, I saw their suprised and weary faces, but it took nigh long before Islanzadi herself pointed her staff in the whole misunderstanding... And to my greatest delight, her greatest healers were behind her.

Sora was in a state of shock, his eyes gazing, unfocused, hearing only a little bit of what Minae said, but saw none of the elves. "Who's there?" he whispered, his eyes darting through his range of vision, searching for the unseen elves, until his eyes closed and he lapsed into unconsciousness.

Alianae nodded. "Let's go then." she said. Her magic wrapped around Kalios. It was a mix, of all the magics within her, combined absentmidedly to help Kalios along. "If we need to get out and help Sora.." she trailed off. she frowned and broke into a run. "Come on, we have to hurry."
((No idea why they have to hurry..it just popped into my head.))

((again, journal-like post))
My heart raced even more when I noticed that Sora had lost consciousness. My yes darted from the Queen to the now unconscious man that lay before me. This time, I thought my heart broke in a thousand, irreparable pieces throughout he world and beyong. As I stared into Islanzadi's eyes, tears overflowing my own.
"You've let me down once, and now you're killing my heart; I don't know why you're just standing there and watching him die..."
The Queen simply shook her head and signlaed the healers to take Sora away. I let his hand go much to my displeasure; Eventually, I let go, knowing that if I held on any longer it would cost him his life...
I watched Sora leave my sight, wanting to follow him into the depths of the forest.
***
After a while of sulking in my old domain in the trees, I went outside to stare at the sky with sorrow-filled eyes. I didn't know if Sora would survive; were the healers strong enough?
I didn't know why I doupted my own poeple's power, since anyone who knows but a fragment about the elves knew that even at their weakest point, they were stronger than any man...
Suddenly, it struckme htat I had forgotten the very reason I wanted to hurry here in the first place!!!
I needed to go see him again, if it was just for even a few minutes...

Kalios looked up, his body feeling a momentary relief from the pain. Like he was floating on a cloud, far away from the pain awaiting him. He forced his legs to bend and spring into a run that was being greeted with fatigue. No pain. Just emptiness. He could see Sora's last conscious moments, distorted due to the disjunction of time within the tunnel. He heard Minae's words, and felt the silence of the elves. So inundated that it was audible. "The elves are there," he whispered, almost stopping for a second.
