The Mines
Silvia looked over to him as he took her arm and shook her head, removing it and placing it around her waist as her arms wrapped around his chest and she pulled herself close to him. “Relax,” she said softly as a soft hue began to surround them. It was unlike when he had been lifted into the mine itself and as they lifted it still felt as if they were on solid ground. The assent was slow and controlled as they rose into the air through the make shift opening she had created; she wanted to ensure not to push herself too hard right now since she was still weak from the process and was not using a crystal at this time. She knew she would need rest and right then she needed to reserve as much of her strength as possible to close the opening back up once they were safe.
The sun was beginning to set as they emerged, their bodies moving to the side of the opening before she set them down and the hue faded away into nothingness. Taking a breath she looked up at him and smiled softly before she released her embrace and stepped away from him. “You’re safe now,” she said as she turned back and looked down the hole, holding her hand out the crystal she had used in the mine slowly followed suit and rose out of the mine and next to her.
“Might want to take a step back,” she said as she looked over to him before a gentle hum came from her lips and the crystal began to sing as she placed her hand on it. Her eyes began to emanate a crimson hue as she held her free hand out towards the opening. Suddenly a beam of telekinetic force shot out of her hand like one of the crystal driven weapons that the GTC used on their battle ships and an explosion could be heard erupting from deep within the carved out entrance before it collapsed down and sealed away any evidence of where they had been.
Coughing slightly as her eyes faded once again she took a deep breath and sank to her knees as she ran her fingers through her hair. “I need a vacation,” she muttered to herself before looking back over towards Karras. “The rescue crew should be here soon and they can move us off the top of this rock and you can go home,” she said in a kind voice before looking away. “While we wait though you should know that there have been gun runners in your village. Srath captured a bounty last night and brought him to the tower, so please be careful. Whether they were building for a revolt against you or the GTC is unknown at this time but I will let you know more once I do.”
