[Team Dragons, Part 2]

[You have escaped. Congratulations, surely all your problems are over and you can return to your apartments- Oh, wait, no.]

...[Nnnot good.] We need to find the way out, double time.

[He glances over at the stairs--are they even big enough for a dragon? And then looks for other ways up or somewhere further into the temple.]

[ ...maps! I can read maps! ]

Oh, oh, keep this, I would very much like to find those X's when we get home. Perhaps there is treasure, and then I will be able to buy something nice for Jacob if I can go home.

Perhaps I can fit up the stairs. [ ...and i will... try ]

[Luckily with the decay of the temple, forcing yourself inside isn't impossi-

yes you did just get stuck mid staircase.]

...A....Aleda. [Oh my god.] Aleda, can you back out?

[ ...sob what is my life...

she. she does try to! Gently, so as not to being down the whole staircase, sucking in her gut. ]

[That works, but short of tearing down the staircase or the roof... Getting Aleda through seems nigh impossible.]

...[Staring at the staircase with a sort of :T expression.] I wonder if there's a window or a hole somewhere.

[ ...sits '^' ]

I will wait for you.

..Alright. I'll try to be fast. [Heading up the stairs!]

[There are large double-windows here, along with a half-lit crystal gate mirror to the one in Atuin.

Half-lit.

Not fully charged at all.]

...Damn. [He goes halfway down the stairs to call down.

Aleda! There's a double window to this room up here, and it looks like a gate back to Atuin. I'll have to see if I can find something to charge it with before we can leave.

I will try to come in from outside, then.

[ Going out, lifting off to survey the outside and see if she can pinpoint the double-windows. Or if, through a different window, she can see any crystals. ]

[The double windows under the alcove aren't hard to find.

There are indeed some crystals in a box, but these too do not glow.

They clearly need to be charged by something magical.]

[Rider sort of. Stares at the crystals. And sighs.

Oh, dear.]

...Aleda, you're...going to need to carry me through when I'm done with this.

[He goes back to the half-lit crystals and slowly, bit by bit, he starts sacrificing his own power to charge them. He only hopes he has enough for all of these damn things.]

[ Going through the windows--

...

what ]

--But I cannot carry you in my claws, I am only a courier-weight!

[They start to light, one at a time...]

[He smiles, kind of...sadly.] Just shove my body through, if that's what it takes.

[Although given he looks like he's literally fading, that may be impossible.]

[ ...

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!! RUSHES IN AND HEADBUTTS RIDER ACROSS THE ROOM OH MY GOD

>Steal the box of crystals ]

No, no, do not do that! I will return shortly!

[ >Abscond out the window. ]

[SO HERE IS THAT BURNING MAGICAL WATER POURING FROM THE CRACK.]

[ um yeah how do i do this without getting it all over my face

...

i guess i don't

t... trying to get most of the water in the crystalbox and not on her head and let's hope it doesn't seem through to her claws either... ]

[It pours into the crystal box, each crystal burning like a star where the water splashes it.

You can hear, on the edges of your hearing, static whispering.]

[ at least i know what to expect when the water inevitably splashes into my face ugh i thought i'd tuned out that whispering by now

laboriously... flying back...... ]

[Still kind of...stunned. And staring. And ow that's gonna bruise.] What did you...

[ dropping the box and yeah her face is probably sizzling a bit. making a pained noise! ]

The-- water-- we should go.

[Rider grabs the crystals and sets them in the gate, quickly.]

Let's hurry, I don't want to leave that untreated.
