Canis's heart

The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.

You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .

. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

[ shifts his sword to point it towards aquila. ]

Better hurry up.

You'll have to do it yourselves. I'm not letting her go.

...Mira, we'll have to take this "Aquila" out to help Lupus and Canis.

[ looks to Devotion ]

This could get ugly.

[ . . . Nods, gripping the shards tightly ]

Guard him for me.

I'll take her down.

Alright. I'll back you up, and I have a potion if you need it.

[ shifts to stand in front of Devotion ]

Aquila looks at the people in front of her, before another dark coil darts out towards them.

"This could have ended differently."

[ nnnope, slicing at that shit with his sword, intending to cut the tip clear off and--slash the rest of it in half, as he runs for aquilia. ]

How could it?

[ SARCASM AT THE COIL, GOGOGOGO ]

Another coil darts forward, though it twitches when sarcasm hits it, which allows for Dark to be able to slice off the tip. As he runs toward her, though, Sirius steps in the way — the time for talking is done.

[ fuck. stopping, sword raised to guard, but not harm. ]

Hey, Canis. Can I hit 'em?

. . . You'll die if you don't.

[ her heart jumps in her chest to see Sirius step in the way (of course he would protect Aquila, of course). ]

Don't hurt them more than you have to.

Sirius stands at the ready, waiting for something, some sort of attack.

Aquila, meanwhile, is watching carefully.

[ no sword then yes okay. he'll run at sirius instead, intending to dig his gauntlet-covered fist into sirius's midsection. ]

[ while Mira does that, keeps Sirius occupied, Sparrow tries to hit Aquila with Sarcasm. ]

Sirius jumps backwards, before diving back in to deliver a punch of his own.

Meanwhile, Aquila flinches at the Sarcasm — though she does send a coil in Sparrow's direction, because how rude.

[ ducking down as fast as he can before he lurches forward, arms moving to wrap around sirius as he tries to tackle him to the ground. ]

[ CRAP, trying to dodge while pulling Devotion along (and shielding him if necessary), while hitting Aquila with Punishment this time. ]

DIRECT HIT, it causes her to stumble backwards, and her grip on Lupus loosens just a little.

Meanwhile, Sirius is able to be tackled — though he bodily attempts to roll Dark over.

[ shoving a fist into sirius's ribcage--or attempting to, at least, as he braces his weight against his knees on the ground. ]

[ following up with another hit of Punishment, hoping to at least distract Aquila. ]

That doesn't stop Sirius. He's intent on flipping Dark over, even if it takes a few hits to do so. He even kicks out at Dark to try to do something to him.

The Punishment works, at least. A distraction! The grip loosens again, though Aquila sends another coil darting out towards Sparrow.

[ well the kick. hits?? ]

I'll fix ya up later, a'right?! [ and raising the sword in his other hand, to slice through sirius's middle. ]

[ jumps back again, still guarding Devotion bodily, though she freezes once she sees what Mira is going to do before catching herself.

it's the infection's fault Canis' heart is in danger, so the sooner they get rid of it...

another cast of Punishment and then Sparrow tries to call out; ]

Lupus! We need you, please wake up!
