His eyes simply shot over to stare at her without moving his head. The buzzing above them was getting annoying but the growing sound of heavy thuds on the ground quickly became apparent.<br/><br/>From the direction they came, two glowing red eyes emerged from the darkness. Donta jumped to his feet, a small kunai in hand ready to throw. He heard a hollow echo in the beast's throat as it lumbered closer, it's grotesque features revealing in his pom light.<br/><br/>"A Skoll." Donta muttered. A shutter of fear passed through her belly at that word. Their were rumors of large beasts in the caves but her hope was that they wouldn't cross one. Well, apparently that hope was shattered. He grabbed her dragging her to her feet. Quickly, his arms shoved her behind him inching them towards the other side of the room as the yowls grew louder, and louder throughtout the area. It was then that beast with the long muzzle, and deep bluish black fur lunged at them. A single thought kicked in her mind to grab her bow, however Donta had reacted quicker.<br/><br/>The kunai he had slid into the beast's side coating itself in dark liquid. This attack only angered the beast as it now set it's eyes on the moogle before her.  It's teeth tried clamp on his shoulder but missed due to the fact that he rolled away while pulling out his sword. In that instent, her mind knew just because she couldn't walk did not mean her hands couldn't shoot.<br/><br/>Instinctively, her left hand reached for the bow that was on her back, while using the other hand to grasp an arrow. Her aim wouldn't be perfect but at best she would be able to help her friend in some manner. Before she was able to do anything or get a clear shot the beast swung his large paw at the moogle.The sound sound of his sword clattering to the ground echoed throughput the cavern.<br/><br/>The beast shifted its attention as if sensing her need to attack as well. Then a voice occured screaming stop. She assumed it had to be donta even though she was fully prepared to launch the arrow.  Her eyes wathed as the skool stopped dead in its tracks looking like a reprimended pet.  The beast then just toppled over , and in a sigh of relief she placed the bow , and arrows back in place wincing at the fact that her injured foot now had more pressure on it. Damn...<br/><br/>Donta's spell was starting to ware off as the beast began to twitch. It would soon be back on its feet if they didn't do anything soon. He stood up and she watched as he held his injired side while makeing way for the beast.Somehow, he managed to cut off the beats's head with his sword. At that moment her feet gave way again. A sigh passed through her lips of slight annoyance with herself.<br/><br/>"There could be more. We need to move." He helped her to her feet as more heavy footsteps came upon them. The assumption here is that they work much like a pack, which meant the first was just a distraction. "You probably know the way better than I. Can you lead?"<br/><br/>" Sure," She carefully shrugged his help since her feet needed to move on their own. " If I assume their pack animals they'll be trying to scope us, our best shot would be the cave to mid right. This should lead us where we need to go." Her feet drew her closer to the cave , but as she walked a electric bird flew down and landed on her shoulder. Most likely to let the moogle get his rest.<br/><br/>The rainbow tail that would light up, and spark at random was a good defence to the skolls. The birds were able to survive because the skolls were too afraid of the sparking sound. This assured her that travel would be easy from here on out. The only concern was how far the next village was considering the shape that the two  were in.<br/><br/>After a few hours of walking , and breaking through the caves , her head began to pound. A tall sign that the voice that hurt would speak to her. All she wanted to do was scream, but instead her eyes glanced at the mark on her hand which was glowing." There should be a set of stairs leading you out of the cave upahead. It takes you into the center of the village." Well, thank you captain obvious. She used her hand to point donta in the stairwell direction as they came upon it.<br/><br/>Once , out of the caves , huts surround them. Huts built out of wood, straw , and a few bricks that were lying around from place to place. It seemed nothing was too far off except was nighttime and no one had a single" lantern. The bird on her shoulder had left before they reached the top of the cave. " You two, please follow me." A small boy who seemed to built like a fisherman directed them to follow him. She gave donta the you go first look.<br/><br/>-------------...---...-?----....-.........................-------------...<br/><br/>Surina's pov<br/><br/>"Tell me. Why have you done this? What is your business with Shiva and what prophecy do you speak of?" Surina was shocked at the bravery of her fellow new found friend. Any sainity in her brain had left, and the situation itself would not just fix itself either. The shock still remained from when her best friend was killed. This was a grave...hell it was a fiery unfair grave.<br/><br/>" The world is sick from the human mantrosities called abandoment. I will teach this world that abandoning the gods was a choice long past due for punishmemt. I will not forgive the world...no, not for what it has done, nor where it is heading. " The man placed a hood over hid head in a form similar to one that did not want to communicate much further. He muttered a few words before vanishinh like the beast.<br/><br/>All she could was gasp in surprise as the over flow of lava dissapeared. The volcano must have thrived due to the beast, and without a landmark was about to fade away. Her face was dried from the tears that had soaked it earlier. The only reason thinking was possible was because if one stood still, a memory would end up poisonng the soul. Or so she had heard her now dead friend use to say. A grave dishonor it would be if she couldn't move on and exact her revenge. There was also figuring out how Anara came to be a prophet. Her whole time spent with Anara and not once had she thought the fellow theif to be able to tell the future.<br/><br/>The spell that had kept the heat at bay finally wore off, and though her body still wasn't perfectly healed yet mentally from the heat, and death , she was still perfectly fine physically. Her small hands pushed her up to stand facing the now lavaless pool. This would be devasting to Dolvisar as a whole which used the lava to create valuable jewelry. Now, they would need to use the other volcano which was less lively , and less apt to push out a good amount. Though, she never really cared about the trading city, it wouldn't change her way of theiving .<br/><br/>It was then her eyes began to look over the gria man checking him for valuable, and injuries curse her phenoix guide for that. " Well, I would as your name , but I am thief , what would theif do with a name? Oh, but , it would be rude if I didn't.  So what's your name? I need to ," There was a pause as her eyes caught the jewel that belonged to Anara just staying on the edge of the dried out lava pool.<br/><br/>The jewel was green , and glowed a little even if there was no sunlight inside the cave. Instinctively she made her wsy to the jewel scooping it up, and keeping it in her hand. " go back to my home, and look though her books for any hint as to what prophecies may have crossed her mind, or what this Shiva has to do with everything." At this point she was just mumbling to herself. It didn't matter if this man stayed or went that was his choice.
