Staring at the zeppelins Michael hardly notices the return of Pheonix. Michael begins debating to return back or to use the stone to summon Cornellius, but that was as far as his thoughts got. The bright flash of light spurned him into action as Lathus was yelling for people to run. Michael grabbed his things, bolting to the entrance of the cave, Michael stands outside just long enough to usher everyone in, helping anyone who might trip or need help.<br/><br/>Once the last of the others was inside, Michael dives in himself, preparing for what could only be an explosion of intense magnitude. If Michael were a better man, he would have said it was a nuclear weapon, but that would have been impossible on this world. Darkness engulfing him, Michael lets it flow through him passing by unharmed. Whether seconds or hours had passed Michael could not be sure, but the darkness slowly receded, replaced by a bright light coming from Lathus' direction.<br/><br/>Standing slowly, Michael is careful to not put too much weight on anything until he is sure its safe. Looking around he takes note of everyone in the cave, making sure no one was seriously injured or needed medical care. Quietly, carefully Michael takes his axe from it's belt loop, and shield from his pack. He was just grateful that he hadn't removed his armor yet. That might have caused some problems. Armed and ready, Michael approaches the entrance to the cave searching to see if there was still a way out.
