Arkain drops down to avoid the succubus attack against Gold. He watches Gold get hit by the succubus but it was just a glancing blow. He can see the mark. Hardly a scratch. He grins seeing Gold was too fast for her. He watches Gold jump back next to him. "Excellent move Gold."  Arkain watches Gold sink his claws into the ground. When he says step back he can tell he's planning something. He steps back quickly. He can tell this move is going to take a lot for Gold to do this. He steps back feeling the pressure build around him. Then he feels a flash and drops and covers his face when a wave of rock and dust fly past him. He gasps seeing Gold had changed into a new more powerful form. Arkain nods. "Impressive."  Arkain drops into a defensive position. "Bring it on Succubus."<br/><br/>Arkain watches the succubus change forms to quickly knocking the chompers away. He duck down quickly just avoiding them. He sees her eyes change color. He looks at Gold. "What is she doing?"<br/>He gasps watching her change back into original form. Arkain sees the succubus start to take off. "No we can't let her take her." He runs to grab Crystal but he's way too late. He covers his eyes from blast of wind and dust when the succubus flies away. He shakes his head watching them disappear from view. "NOOO!! She’s got her.”<br/>He starts to pace about looking rather upset. He thinks out loud. “Why did the succubus just take her and not any of us.” He then stops quickly. “Oh No. I know why the succubus took Crystal and where she is taking her.” He sits down on a rock shaking his head. “Its five days to the summer solstice, right? And the ferret guard said Lord Xeron has the Gem of Dark Powers? Crystal has been taken back to her castle. Legend says for someone to be able to use the Gems full power they have to be a member of the royal family. If Lord Xeron marries Crystal at the peak of the summer solstice. He will be able to release its full Dark powers and the earth will covered in eternal darkness. This is bad. This is very bad. We have to rescue her. ”<br/><br/>He looks at Gold and Wendy. “Gold, you are the fastest amongst us. At least I think so. I don't know what other special skills you and special cane have Wendy. We need to get to the castle right away. We have to stop this.”
