Ariakami's face perked up to the sight of a portal in front of her as she continued to run, but as soon as she realized that it appeared to be broken the doubts started to consume her thoughts. Would that be safe? Will I survive that? Isn't there any other portal nearby? Will...wait...what was that? Her mind was racing, but halted quickly once she heard something sounding like a warcry behind her. Slowing down and turning her head to look back, she saw a flaming hammer flying straight toward her. The sight made her freeze for a moment, overwhelmed by a burst of fear. But then, out of nowhere, before Ari could regain control of her body and move, a blonde-haired goddess appeared and deflected the incoming hammer with her shield. The blonde-haired goddess shouted for Ariakami to run, then proceeded to engage the red-eyed attacker. Ari took a few steps in preparation to turn and run, looking at her protector for a few seconds more before returning a small gesture of thanks.
"Anaki suul'aahm..." Ariakami spoke softly, slowly backing up all the while. "Thank you." Her translation quickly followed, completing the gesture of thanks. Turning around to continue running, Ari was caught completely off guard and unaware as she suddenly fell into the portal she had been heading for. There was a moment of complete silence and utter weightlessness as Ari closed her eyes, leaving her alone with only her thoughts to listen to...her heart plagued by fear, her mind clouded by confusion...
Suddenly Ariakami hit the ground rather hard, landing on her stomach as she dropped out of the portal. A few moments went by as her body remained there on the ground, slowly starting to move her arms and legs towards the idea of rising up onto her feet. She hadn't the faintest idea where she was now, but it must be a safer place than where she had just come from...or so she hoped...
