The tower lurched forward due to their combined weight and both the songtress and the summoner nearly topped over. "We've got you!" He gritted his teeth and both he and Selan gave the rope a tug. Estelle was now in arms reach and the duo helped her onto the tower, however, the sudden movement caused the structure to spiral down at least a few feet. It made the summoner feel queasy, but he sucked it up and turned to look at both girls. "Selan, Leader, Are you both alright?" He gave them a concerned look before his eyes flitted to the madness that was unfolding above them. The demon now had a face and was firing its cannon in all directions. Each time the cannonball would strike something, everything would shake and cogs and gears would fall right out of the sky, they were at a major disadvantage. "I can distract it," the summoner dug into his pocket, pulled out his card case and began fumbling with it. He couldn't use any of his heavier summons, it would simply fall out of the sky. He pulled out the cat card he had used back in weir, but found himself hesitating. What if he lost control like in his nightmare? No, there would be no time for doubts, though managing to concentrate while on unstable floating pieces of metal and earth would definitely be a feat. He bit down on his thumb and pressed it onto his card. Lucien's eyes went blank and there was a puff of smoke. Shortly after, a large cat appeared beside both Estelle and Selan.

Both women were nearly knocked off by the sudden halt and Xan squeezed her eyes shut in an attempt to battle the dizziness. "That was some ride," she let out a breath of air she hadn't even known she was holding. "Thank you, Amy." The girl slowly got to her feet then offered the cleric a hand. Everyone was a good twenty feet above them, "how do we get back up there?" There was a crash followed by a groan. Atlas had leaped from a spinning cog and onto a tower that had been floating sideways, his sudden drop onto the tower made it tilt and offered a sort of ramp to the girls who were stranded below. "Here, but be careful, this thing is unstable!" If the jumped off the platform they could get onto the tower. Atlas waited for both of them to jump then helped them up, the tower was beginning to spiral down due to their added weight. "C'mon, no time to waste." He ran towards the ledge, leaped, disappeared and then wound up on another cog a few feet above them. [img]http://i.imgur.com/FvM8cC2.png[/img] "Don't you understand, this is my world." The bullets and arrows did nothing to the dream eater, they simply sunk into the dark ooze that appeared to be its flesh. "I make the rules and nothing you do will be able to hurt me." One of Lissete's arrows hit it right in the eye, but it didn't even wince. It simply pulled out the arrow as if it were nothing but a splinter, black ooze dripped across its face. "You're afraid, but it's okay to be afraid." Its voice sounded like the screeching of metal on metal. "FEED ME!" From one of the cogs a cat leaped towards the demon, raking its claws into the black goop it scratched at the things body and face but the thing merely laughed. It pulled the screeching feline off and tossed it towards both Moira and Syed. The wounds that had been inflicted on it began to heal and it let out another eerie sounding laugh. The dream eater clapped its hands once and the floating platforms the guilders were on began to spin faster and faster. Their fear only made it stronger. The dream eater clapped its hands a second time and all the cogs began falling at maddening speed. It only took him a snap of a finger to stop their descent. He was high above them now, grinning widely. "I will suck you all dry until you beg me to kill you. I will drink every emotion, every joy, and every sorrow." Platforms and gears began falling out of the sky.
