River went at a faster pace than usual into the cave only to stop dead in his tracks when he was attacked by the darkness around him. Shivering in fear he edged forward till he heard the clicking of hooves stampeding his way. "No, get away from me!." Lightning flew from his fingers crackling around him banging at the inner walls. Once the noise settled he calmed down and reached for his violin and bow. Relaxing again he strung out a calming strang to go against the darkness. Feeling calm he thought of an idea. "Everyone focus just on the song. ignore the darkness!"<br/><br/>As he ventured foward he had to stop and cover his nose. The smell of rotting burnt flesh filled his senses with each passing step. *Thats right, I remember, this is the day Momma feared me.* he looked onward for a moment and then back to where the smell should be coming from but not. He looked at his father's fried and burst open chest, collapsed, and cried. "Mama please, please look at me."<br/><br/>He stayed for a moment crying till he heard the others. "I will show you Mama, I will show you that I am no monster." He rose up and grabbed onto the first thing he could. He grabbed onto the Lore Master, and walked with her with a stern face and eyes forward. "I will help you go where you are needed, then I will come back for each and every one of them and see to it they make it to you alive." His voice demanding and his actions swift he used his lightning as a light and shot small sparks to guide them.
