Alas, she was too slow to move, and it was a direct hit. There were screams. The smell of burnt flesh mixing with acrid rain. And when Luna opened her eyes, Aislin and Layla were on the ground, clothes fused to their skin, charred, red, and painful. Covered head to toe in burns. Luna clicked her tongue, then shifted her gaze to her armour. Cracked, but no worse for wear. It had protected her from the worst of the burns. She was the only one who remained unscathed. She watched as Layla’s ghost materialized, scooping the little girl into his lap. She wrinkled her nose at that, but ignored it, focusing on Aislin. [color=bcbcbc][b]“[sub]Shit.[/sub] Hey, heyyyy… You okay?”[/b][/color] She said, rolling Aislin over with an armored hand so Aislin was on her back. Aislin softly whimpered, tears in her eyes as her face scrunched up reflexively. She tried to speak, but all that came out was a gurgled, weak mash of syllables. Luna clicked her tongue. She’d seen worse: a man cut with his entrails spilling out of his gut. But this… this was hard to see, too. Luna’s gaze shifted to Layla, then to her masked ghost. [color=bcbcbc][b]“How’s she?”[/b][/color] [b]“She’s passed out, but she’ll live.” [/b]Kipnu said, his voice disinterested. Luna stared at him flatly. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Really?”[/b][/color] [b]“Hm?”[/b] Luna shook her head, eyes on the portal in the sky. Not her business. The undead were just [i]pouring[/i] out, falling to the ground and spilling out in all directions. Some were headed in [i]their[/i] direction. That meant they had to move fast. Luna considered her options, cursed under her breath, and stared hard at the ghost. [color=bcbcbc][b]“I need another favour.”[/b][/color] [b]“That’s going to be another soul.”[/b] Luna snarled. [color=bcbcbc][b]“If you don’t help me, Layla might not make it out of this [i]alive[/i].”[/b][/color] [b]“I can whisk her, and [i]you[/i] away, if you beg me.”[/b] There was a deep chuckle in Kipnu’s voice as he spoke. Luna glared. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Fine, [i]fine![/i] Another soul. But you have to [i]listen[/i] to me, no questions asked.”[/b][/color] Kipnu’s masked lenses gleamed. [b]“I wouldn’t dream of it.”[/b] Luna sighed a bit, before she dropped her gaze to Aislin. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Hey… I know you don’t like me, but I need your help. I have an idea…”[/b][/color] [hr] From where Aislin lay, her hand connected with the earth. Teeth gritted through the rain and the pain, she pulled away at the earth, creating a tunnel underneath the ice palace, allowing Luna a way inside. The moment it was completed, Kipnu took both Layla and Aislin through Smoke’s Crossing, removing them from the battlefield. That left only Bahlok with Luna, who appeared resentful and not at all interested in being there. She turned her attention to the tunnel, whistled, and ten hellhounds, growling with their teeth bared, stormed the ice palace. Bahlok jerked with her chin, and Luna and her followed after the hellhounds through the tunnel, Luna with a white broadsword in each hand, Bahlok with her Eldritch Appendage bared and ready. [color=bcbcbc][b]“You all bitches are [i]done[/i]!”[/b][/color] Luna yelled as they advanced inside. [b]”As long as I get to [i]spear[/i] someone!”[/b] Bahlok said with an eye roll.
