'I don't know Clairissa, together we can get out of here, but I need to kill something or let out a lot of energy, or I may kill some one. Your the only one keeping me sane right now.' Clara smiled softly as he hugged her then hid her with his wing again. She leaned her cheak against his shoulder and watched as the mage figited from a small opening in Artimers wing. "Mage tell me your freakin' name." Clara could feel the rummble of Artimer's voice almost surrounding her when she was under his wing like this. She was starting to find herself getting tired after everything she had been through. Her eyes closed for a moment until she heard Artimer speak again, "Where is your home, maggot?" She realized she had just dozed off for a moment and shook her head concentrating on the mage, "Maggot, I asked you a question. Where. Is. Your. Home?"<br/><br/>Clara could tell that the mage was not at all happy with being ordered around by Artimer. She made sure to keep a close eye on him. He may have helped them but he was still a stranger that they could not fully trust. "Uh well, its a short walk and skip from here, dragon." She could hear the supressed anger in his voice and patted Artimers shoulder lightly and came out from under his wing so that the mage could see her, "Take us there then." She ordered him and her tone said she didn't expect nor want to hear him complain about it.<br/><br/>She felt Artimer tense when the mage looked at her and started growling again, 'Artimer.' She said soothingly and placed her hand on his neck lightly. The mage looked even more ticked off that she had given him an order but he bowed in an almost mocking manner, "As the lady wish'es." He turned on his heel and started leading the way to his home. Clara made sure to keep her hand on Artimer as they walked or she felt that he might kill the mage. After a little while Artimer had to make himself smaller to get throuh the smaller tunnels but he didn't turn back into his human form yet. She guessed that it was because he was so upset at the moment and didn't comment on it.<br/><br/>She had no trouble seeing in the tunnels even with the mages orb of light. The shadows seemed to be gone at the moment. Perhaps the mage Darrel had weakened the shadows greatly. At some point they had made a turn andfound themselves coming out of a small opening in the wall. It looked like it had been dug out so Darrel must have been here for a while. The buildings here were mostly destroyed like the last city but not as badly. He led them to one of the larger undamaged homes and opened the door, "It aien't much but it's home." Clara didn't step inside yet because she wasn't sure what Artimer was thinking about alll of this. She needed a safe place to rest but she would only do so if Artimer thought it was safe.
