OOC>>>I really cannot wait for the others to post, so I am moving.

Brendon

Brendon took in the words, trying to sort it all out. The sweat on his forehead was running into his eyes, causing him to blink hard to clear his vision. He was stuck in a situation of trying to decide what to do, and the whole party's lives were on the line now. He had been stupid in the past with his choices, and had put himself in harm's way only to be defeated easily. Would he do it again, costing the lives of the others with him? He was supposed to be on this mission to find and kill Terrakis, but why? Was Terrakis the reason that this adventure started? No, he had been a side-quest and nothing more...but had grown more powerful due to too much time being allowed to grow strong. Was he too powerful to kill? If he ran, would he make it out in time? Too much was at stake here. Brendon grabbed at his temples and screamed in frustration and fright. What was he to do? He looked about at his comrades. Rhianneth seemed determined to convince him that there was no choice to make, and to go up was the only way. He looked at Wyrd and Ruby, who were crying and Ruby was holding her ears. She acted as though something were assaulting her. The elf Saithele also had a sick look on his face, as though he were listening to the sound of a death march far away. The elf Anarrima was praying and sobbing, clutching her arms tight about her. Brendon could feel it too. His hairs on the back of his neck were standing on end and the air felt as though a giant fist was squeezing them in it's shadowy hold.

He looked into the eyes of Rhianneth, in understanding and as he did, an echo was heard.

"She speaks the truth, fool, run!...fool, run!...run"

"Oh my god. We...We have to run to the surface NOW!"

Now waiting for anyone to speak further, Brendon began running in the direction that would take him and the party up one level. He did not take time to turn and look to see that everybody was following. He could hear them running and panting behind him. The air was thinner down here, so he was already tired and short of breath, but he had to keep running. Finding the entrance to the next level up, he ascended the stairs three at a time, and slipped once, but caught himself and picked up his pace again.

=================================================

Anarrima

The order had been given and she stopped her prayer and ran. She ran hard and for a long time, thought that she would be able to keep the human's pace, but now she was beginning to feel the fatigue hard in her legs. She had not been so active as a slave for the drow as to have excerised her legs to good running condition. She was already falling behind. This scared her more than she had ever been before, for it was like she could feel the darkness as an enemy around her, reaching for her to stop her flight from the caverns. She knew that this shadow would never allow her to see the light again. She began to weep, yet still ran on, hoping against the odds that she would defeat the shadows.
