((No, not missing anything...that was aimed at someone else who is missing stuff XD))
The farmer gave a nod, "The caves. In the lace section. Unless they know it well, the Kore will be lost as lambs."

((I think I'll speculate on that for a while before I ask. xd ))
"Thank you, my friend!" the pharmacist cried out, rushing for the caves.
He prayed to gods he didn't believe in that he wouldn't be too late.

Xeen stepped out of the void between worlds, in the city. Following the destruction to the farmlands, he quickly found wherre the Kore were staging their assault. He made his way towards the farm house, spotting the farm house.
Spotting the farmer, Xeen ran to him.
"Toli Ahremin. I need to find her. Where is she?"

The farmer nodded, "Be safe, friend." He waved off the pharmacist around the same time as Xeen appeared. He looked at the new comer with speculation. "You're a stranger, I have no need to tell you the where abouts of my daughter."
The caves were a good mile or two away from the farm, housed beneath a rocky hill. The lace section, was made of a particularly dark red rock, dusty and dry. It was named lace for the many twists and turns and holes that ran through out the caves, the walls separating the tunnels often thin as china, and often decorated with patterns of cracks and holes.

"I have been sent here by people that want your daughter safe, and far, far away from the Kore. If they find her, they will kill her. And if they can't find her, they will scorch this planet's surface into glass, if that is what it takes to make sure she dies. I have the means to keep these things away while you get her, and whoever you sent with her." He said, referring to the person that was leaving as he arrived.

The farmer was confused now, horribly so, but a bit of it was beginning to set in. He could understand the pharmacist's mind going as he dealt with the stress of the attacks, but a stranger taking a similar stance was pushing beyond coincidence.
"Why Toli?" He asked, "Why my daughter?"

Eulalia Danae The farmer was confused now, horribly so, but a bit of it was beginning to set in. He could understand the pharmacist's mind going as he dealt with the stress of the attacks, but a stranger taking a similar stance was pushing beyond coincidence. "Why Toli?" He asked, "Why my daughter?" "because your daughter is special. I do not understand what makes her so, but your daughter somehow possesses the ability to destroy the Kore's leader, and they can't risk letting her survive. They are willing to do whatever it takes, and kill whoever stands in there way to kill your daughter. I need to know where she is, exactly. I need to beat the Kore, and anyone else, to finding her. Do you understand, now?"

The farmer finally gave a nod, letting things sink in. He brushed his hands across his face. "She's in the caves, with my wife, her brother, and a group of other refugees. The pharmacist is moving in that direction, he claims he's from the ACO."

The pharmacist is moving in that direction, he claims he's from the ACO." Xeen thought, mulling over the information. "May I please use your house? By saying yes, I am going to destroy your home to make a golem to combat the approaching forces while I rescue your daughter."

The farmer stood up, and quietly picked up a few things, placing them in a box, before he gave a nod. "You can use my house. They will destroy it anyway, it would be good if it could destroy them first."

Eulalia Danae The farmer stood up, and quietly picked up a few things, placing them in a box, before he gave a nod. "You can use my house. They will destroy it anyway, it would be good if it could destroy them first." Xeen nodded, turning towards the Hunter war machines and Kore troops. "Stand clear. I will take you with me. This thing will keep them back while we get your daughter." Xeen closed his eyes, the ground beneath them heaving, tendrils of energy thrusting themselves from the dirt, wrapping around the house, pulling bits of it away, forming into massive hands, pulling the rest of the thing from the ground. As it rose, clumps of stone, dirt and housing materials began to form the golem's head and torso. After several minutes, it stepped from it's crater, looking down to Xeen for direction. "Defend this location. Let nothing past." The golem turned back, watching the approaching mass. "And now we leave," Xeen replied, turning from the Golem, offering Toli's father his hand, "Let us get your daughter."

Out of breath again (this time in the caves), the young pharmacist nearly tripped over Toli's brother. "*cough*--Boy! Should have your skin for that. Wh-where-is Toli? And your mother, boy. Get both of them."

The man glanced at Xeen's offered hand. Unaware of any form of touch teleportation, the gesture seemed a bit foreign to him. "You want to hold hands?" He asked, an awkward gravel to his voice.

ArynChris Out of breath again (this time in the caves), the young pharmacist nearly tripped over Toli's brother. "*cough*--Boy! Should have your skin for that. Wh-where-is Toli? And your mother, boy. Get both of them." The boy was dead, and his corpse still slightly steaming where the blast had ripped into his chest. Upon closer examination there were a few other bodies, those who couldn't run fast enough or scatter amidst the panic when a droid had moved in to attack the group. In the various tunnels of the lace caves, screaming bounced off, and vibrated into the thin walls. The group was on the run.

The pharmacist pulled back with a jerk, suddenly realizing the smell of burnt flesh. He's run so hard that sweat had gotten into his eyes and blinded him, but there was no mistaking once he realized. Everyone was being slaughtered.
He wiped his shaking hands on his pants as best he could, trying to think. "This is futile," he whispered. "Even it I get there, I can't stop them. And if I stopped them, I still could save her... without..."
He ran towards the screaming, limping from exhaustion, and tried not to think that the only way to "save" Toli from the Kore would be to kill her.
