"But no, it's really-!" Blaise pushed farther but Kaden had interrupted her, turning her about and covering her mouth with his hand. Blaise traid to fight him off but she was too weak to do so.
"Shhh . . . calm down Blaise. We have to find out what's going on." He said to her quietly. She stopped trying to fight him in a defeated way and he brought his hand down but still held her close.
Kaden looked to Azmaria and whispered. "Who else could be here? Who else knows?"

"Maybe it's the person who keeps these people bound here." Azmaria said, taking off ahead of the others. She was deteremined to set tese people free, if this was done by a demon, she'd show him what for!
The room they came upon now was huge. In fact, it actually wasn't just one room. It looked as though the ceilings of several rooms had caved in, making this one huge. It was hopelessly dark, and Azmaria could barely see.
"I need some light!"

Booker followed Azmaria protectively with Kaden pushing Blaise along behind. Blaise was still perplexed by the snakes. What did they mean? It was really beginning to bother her. Everyone else's thoughts seemed to have already moved on but hers were hpoelessly stuck on that factor.
Upon hearing the little girl's call for light, Blaise conjured up a small fire in her palm. It offered a little atmosphere of light but didn't spread far. She'd have to move around to light anything else up.
"Azmaria, I'm not so sure this is a good idea." Kaden warned, "Shouldn't we go back and find the others and tell them?"

Suddenly, the snakes that Blaise had focused on so intently were gone. They'd disappeared upon Emma's death. WIth the lightened load on them, the spirits of this place seemed intently more active, but still remained.
"We can't go back now. We have no idea of how long that would take to find them. Satella needs us m-!" Azmaria began before she bumped into something. Whatever it was, she ran into it hard, and it left a red mark on her forehead.
"What in the world...?" She muttered. In the dim firelight he could see a piece of wood... but somehting was different. This board wasn't supported by anything. It was just... floating there, suspended in midair.

Kaden looked to the board Azmaria had just run into curiously, pulling Blaise a little closer so he could se it. She just followed the tug but wasn't consentrating on the board but what was going on around that she could see and no one else could.
"How strange . . ." Kaden murmured.
Blaise looked around worriedly. "Something's not right." she said, "Something's happened, it's all changed . . . something's not right, we should go."
Kaden turned to face Blaise in uncertainty at her sudden fear. "What do you mean?"

"If there wer eother people here there'd be somehting else here to prove it. I'm sure we'd find som- ....Aaaaaah!
Azmaria had backed into something near the board, it was hidden just out of the line of Blaise's light. When she turned around, she found herself face to face with a human face. It was contorted with fear and a scream forever frozen on its lips. It looked like a statue.
"B-Blaise! Shine your light over here! Do it!"

Kaden pulled Blaise closer as her feet refused to move. She brightened the flame in her hand and the atmosphere of light grew, showing more than what could be seen earlier. A sudden gasp could be heard from Kaden and Booker, Blaise could only stare in disbelief. She had grown pale and what words that slowly formed in her mind could not pass her lips. It's one of them. She could barely recognize the face.
"Wha-what is that?!" Booker stammered. "What's g-going o-on? Wh-what happen-ned?"

(One of who?)
"It's... its a person... from the Order, I think. He's... H-He's been frozen. Time's been stopped for him..." Azmaria said, touching th frightened statues cheek. There was nothing she could do for him.
As the light spread, the group could see even more supposed statues near them. All of them were standing, either running from or facing a threat that no longer stood where they looked. There were many adults, and even a few children.
"More victims of the person who took Chrono's horns..." Azmaria murmured.

((I dunno . . . one of the order? I really just needed something to put to make 7 sentences XD. I was having a hard time. I still don-no what to put XP.))
Blaise looked to all the people grimly. They were all still alive, but might as well have been dead, there was no way known to any of them for the people to be free. Locked in a time freeze they stood like impossibly realistic statues. She wished she could ask more questions, get answers, help in any way she could. But Azmaria didn't have most of the answers and it was too difficult to ask the specters themselves. She still didn't know what the snakes meant and it was quite unnerving.
"I think we should move one." Kaden broke the silence solemnly.

"You don't like the view...?" Spoke up a voice behind them. Azmaria instinctively hid behind a frozen human, and peered out at the speaker.
He said on some rubble, just at the very edge of Blaise's light. It barely glimmered on his feet.
The speaker stood up and took a step forward. In doing so he revealed who he really was. He was being aided by a young woman who held his arm tightly in her hands. She spoke not a word, and looked like nothing more than a doll with her white skin. It was Fiore.
And she was with Jacob.

Blaise's head whipped towards the voice as Kaden stepped protectively beside her. The flame in her hand grew brighter yet again allowing them all to see the two in better light. A cold stare was fixed on Jacob from Blaise and Kaden, Booker was the less informed and could only keep watch on Azmaria.
Blaise noticed that Jacob wasn't just standing with Fiore, but rather being supported by him. This meant he was physically weak . . . but that said nothing about what other attacks he could deal them.
"Back for the fight?" Blaise hissed. "Or other reasons?"

"...I haven't come to fight with you. I came to get something... someone..." Jacob said slowly, "I have no desire to spill blood at the moment. Not in front of Fiore."
"Master Jacob, I have no troubles of seeing blood." The girl beside him spoke up quietly. Jacob patted her hand.
"Never the less, I wil not do it, Fiore. Not unless I must. Then again, I cannot say the same for the others..."
----
Satella looked down at Emma's body in horror. Aion... he hadn't even touched her, and he... how could he have done that?!
"I feel sorry for you, Satella." AIon spoke up, drawing her attention, Even though you've tried so hard by yourseld for so long, your strength can take you no further..."
He held her face tightly with one hand, and pulled at her waist with the other. Satella, for once, was too terrified to move. AIon forced the two of them together, close enough for her to feel his breath on her face.
"Will you pray? Pray to be saved. No one will answer."
He moved closer to kiss her, but before he could a horrified scream tore form her throat.
"Satella!" Rosette exclaime,d hearing the woman's scream, she was so very close now...
"There!" Chrno said, pointing at the wall before striking at it with his are fist. Amazingly, he was able to force the already weak wall to crumble enough to let them through.
"Welcome..." Aion said, moving away form Satella, the woman stood there limply, the chains on her wrist were the only keeping her up.
"Rosette... Chrono... It's been so long..."
"What did you do to her!" Rosette demanded.

Blaise frowned. Come for someone? Undoubtedly that was Rosette. Or maybe not . . .? If he was looking for Rosette then he would have gone straight to her and not them, thus alerting them of their presence and overall making his job harder. Then who was he after? Blaise wasn't sure it mattered, she would do everything in her power to keep him from getting to them.
Blaise said no more, instead she steeled herself for a fight. They were going to have to do this on their own and even with Jacob weakened she wasn't sure how well they could handle it alone. Unless . . . Blaise tried to reach past Kaden and Azmaria's protection to the spirits beyond. "Help us . . .?"

Blaise's reply was only fear. FEar what they knew this boy had done while they were among the living, and for what he bore. Demon horns, with those they would not bother him.
"We should hurry then." SPoke up another voice, "Master Aion will want to return to the castle as quickly as possible to avoid suspicion."
A large, hulking man stepped into view as well. He had a more serious face than the pair, and was a good three or four feet taller.
"Master Aion needs his piece to complete the plan... Songstress..."

Blaise didn't move but was dissapointed in what she felt from the spirits, but couldn't really expect more from them. It was because of Jacob that they had perished and they had every right to fear him. But if only they could help even a little . . . Blaise was already putting things together, looking for their defenses, places to run, anything that would help. There were very few outlets for them.
Songstress. As soon as Kaden heard the word he knew what they meant. "Azmaria . . ." he said quietly, ". . . run."
