Canis's heart

[soulping]

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.

[ oh it's--canis. that's definitely canis. there's a slight delay but mira's moving a hand up, wrapping an arm around his waist to shove him over and switch their positions, to shield devotion from the attacks. ]

I said I'd save you, idiot.

[ Sparrow tries to buy them time, hammering Aquila with as many Punishments as she can. ]

Don't hurt my friends!

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[soulping]

Sparrow's attacks hit home, throwing off Aquila's aim further. And where each attack of Sparrow's hit, Aquila cracks and dents, colors like stained glass rippling across the impacts. Chunks and holes just shatter out of her, yet that only fuels her desperate attacks further, powering them up even more.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[wingtamed]

'm sorry. [ quickly pressing his lips to devotion's hair before he moves, runs for aquila with both fists curled in tight, aiming for her midsection. ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[soulping]

As he impacts Aquila, the point of contact turns to glass and cracks, but it's not quite enough- She places her hands on his head and begins to charge up one final attack....

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[wingtamed]

Sorry, but I really hate it when people try an' ruin my handsome face, y'know.

[ and moving one of his fists back, just to thrust it forward to break the glass. ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[soulping]

Crack-

From his fist, cracks spread throughout her body as she freezes in place, her power dimming. Soon, all that's left is a stained glass statue of Aquila, which slowly crumbles around Mira's fist.

[barrette]

[ grabs for Devotion's hand to hold it tightly, then tries to stand up ]

We... did it?

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[knighttolast]

Devotion helps her up, but in the meantime, the floor where Aquila stood begins to crystallize, creaking threateningly.

"We have to get out of here. . . !"

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[wingtamed]

[ you. you do that. he'll just flop over onto the breaking floor. ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[knighttolast]

Mmmmno, immediately catching him and pulling him close into a hug.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

[ mira oh my god ]

Can you carry him out?

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[knighttolast]

"Yeah. Can you get Lupus?"

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

[ nods, and hurries to pick Lupus up princess-style. ]

Let's go!

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[knighttolast]

Carrying Mira princess-style and leading the way out to the location select.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

[ calling out to him while they go; ]

Where do we go to now?

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[knighttolast]

"If you want to leave, I'll help you—the infection's gone now. You don't have to go, though, if you want to meet 'that person'."

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

I want to meet that person!

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[knighttolast]

"Then we need to get some things. . . Area three, first."

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

Alright!
