Aela leaned against Emily and Eric as she opened the book in between them. Only to find the pages blank. The book began to glow and increased until light melted all of them for a moment. Once the light died down the book had vanished along with the light. Aela's hands slowly fell to her sides from the positions of holding the book.
"It looks like we are on our own. All we can do is move forward."

Aela wandered through narrow tunnels overrun with moss and spider webs. Light of the sun began peaking through the mouth of the exit. It seemed to be a bunch of ivy. She pushed it aside to revealed a breath taking view of hills and villages. But one thing that caught Aela's attention was the wall of smoke and fire nearby.

Aela was a bit shocked when she heard both Emily and Eric gasp. As Eric ran to her side she was already on her knees about to push herself up. Eric's strong arm wrapped around her own to help her up. Aela noticed the concern in his voice, she glanced at Emily who seemed to share the seemed sentiment.

"I am okay, just a little tired and not used to this feeling and my situation. I'm sorry Eric and Emily for worrying you. I really am okay. Do either of you know what we need to do next?"

As Aela got through with the help of Eric and Emily she walked through the flames. They were cold and didn't harm her, she walked until the end of the hall of flames and leaned on the door to the next area wondering what would come next. However, the door gave way under her leaning against it. She falls on her back, and lays there a moment before rolling on her side to get up.

Aela glanced at Eric and Emily she let go of Eric and moved forward toward the flames she stretched out her hand and the flames retreated like a curtain. "It seems that we literally have to walk through flames. But it was an extra precaution in case of intruders. The flames feel the same way the ones on the stone torches do. I'm guessing with them lit we can continue on."

Aela leaned on Eric lightly as they continued on, her exhaustion continued to weigh on her yet at the same time everything felt so....light? Almost like a weight had been lifted her chest as she approached the end door which several torches were lit and the door was ready. As soon as Emily moved toward the door it opened into a wall of flames. However they weren't as hot as one would expect, and none of the flames left the door frame.

Aela accepted Eric's help to stand, however she was a bit unbalanced she laughed a bit nervously. "We shouldn't slow down.. what if night falls and we are still trapped in the cave? We need to keep going. I should be okay."

Aela was able to regain her breath after a bit and glanced to them both with a smile. "Sorry to worry you both. I haven't used my powers this much this often... it seems that I have run out of mana for the time being. And... for the first time I am not in pain. " Aela began to cry with happiness from the pain being gone, she was able to feel alive and free for the first time despite how exhausted she was.

Aela began to slow down before eventually collapsing to her knees once at the entrance. Eric noticed while she held his hand she gradually got colder. Until his hand was warmer than hers. Aela huffed a few times a bit confused as to what was going on..but her pain had completely stopped the feeling was...fantastic.

Aela nodded to Emily’s suggestion and blushed slightly as Eric gave his response and stood beside her. Their hands were brushing each other’s and she lanced her fingers in his. “Okay we can check it out and if there is a slightest hint of danger we come back here.”

Instead of taking the lead she let Emily or Eric go ahead to lead. As a wave of exhaustion began to settle over her and her pain retreated into a dull afterthought.
