"Anything that sounds safe would be my suggestion" Ri scratched the back of her head soft and shrugged "as long as you don't get hurt i am okay with anything really"

Heaven gave a small functionaly smile as she moved away...Safe? she usually had no problems doing that. This time however it would be just that little bit more tricky.
"Stand far enough away from me." she said "If doing one thing makes the other happen then perhaps I can find what does something I want." and that was as much as she said on the matter going quiet now as she went through some of them. She wondered how many had found out too late about this spell. Was that how most had died? Or was it whatever lay out there in that great big hole to what seemed like nowhere. If there was anything there at all.
Looking briefly at Ri, she continued again, more minutes passing. If she could find a way to protect them both it should make it easier and she wouldn't be distracted for worrying. The path was far too narrow for fighting properly with anything but magic and any way of avoiding the need to would be helpful.
She yelped in surprise as a spell exploded in her face and she turned the air blue as she swore in annoyance at another failure.
Twenty minutes of trying later she found it, standing there with a triumphant smile encased in a translucent ball that shimmered and moved like a live thing. How long it would last before it went out however Heaven couldn't be sure but it would definitely come in handy.
"Found one." she said as it dissipated and she took a seat on the ground feeling a little drained after all the spells. The strange thing was even if the spells were randomly reversed they still used the amount of energy required by the spell called and not the amount of the resulting action.
"I'm just going to have a moment to...think." she lied.

Ri nodded and watched Heaven "then think there is no rush" she keep her senses up as she watched Heaven her muscles tense in case she need to make a fast move and get to the girl.

She was quiet as she sat there choosing to say nothing even though her relief was a little overwhelming. She was after all trying to maintain her usual nonchalance as the world spun a little.
What she wanted was to be able to get up now and continue but getting up too early would be unwise as she was sure she would make a complete show of herself. Such weakness was not something she wanted to show so readily. So she simply sat a little bit longer choosing to look around and finally focus on the path ahead.

She shook her head slowly "of course not" she replied tone slightly irritated at the thought that her current vulnerability showed. Rising before she was read she muttered "I'm fine, are you ready?" she asked unable to rid herself of the curtness to her voice.
Taking a deep breath she continued managing to reduce it at the very least "Make sure you stay close to me" she instructed and then after a moments contemplative silence she added "It's important." she added deciding against tying the girl to her. Only because she didn't have anything that would suffice. She couldn't hold her hand because the path wasn't wide enough to have them both walk side by side. So she simply had to trust she would listen and do as asked.
She waited till Ri was close enough before speaking again "I don't how how long it will last so it's best to move as quickly as possible, just in case. Do you understand?"

Ri nodded and said "remember your safety first okay, mine can wait till latter" she gave Heaven's hand a tight squeeze before letting it go.

Funnily enough she thought as it occurred to her, it wasn't herself she was at all worried about. She remained silent however as the shield reappeared shimmering as it reflected through facets of colour as easily as a bubble would. Having to stretch it too far meant weakening it considerably.
With a small inclination of her head she led the way resisting the urge to turn and make sure Ri was following. It was an easy beginning when she stopped considering how long she might have. Looking down she couldn't pinpoint anything suspicious. It looked quiet, dark and deadly still. Even the most stoic of people wouldn't be able to but wonder what lay down below, and just how far it went. She preferably did not wish to find out through first hand experience. Looking up and around she remained on edge.
Some parts of the path appeared to crumble, thinning out further making it harder going but somewhat comfortingly widened back to its narrow self again.

Ri following after Heaven with slow and easy steps she keep her eyes ahead of her and dare not look down. The stupid path couldn't make up its mind either wide or narrow and it seriously got to her because she wasn't the most well balanced of people. Once the finally came to the end of the damn thing she grabbed Heaven and jumped the last few feet before setting Heaven back down and falling to lay on her back on the cold floor "man i hate heights and stupid crappy walk ways"

The unexpected action meant she stopped breathing for a handful of seconds. She wasn't scared she just wasn't expecting it and the surprise left her staring in a disoriented manner once they were finally on the other side. She bit back the stupid smile that almost appeared on her face at the feeling that came with it. For a small minute moment it was like being protected.
Still she had a few choice words to say to- The suddenly rumbling broke her train of thought however providing her with something much bigger to worry about. Small dislodged rocks fell about them as she realised slowly that it wasn’t just rumbling it was the sound of something very large. Whatever manner of creature it was that lived within this mountain, it was awake and locked onto their scent.

Ri jumped to her feet and stood in front of Heaven she could smell it now it smelt like the dead. Growling her tattoo's glowed and formed armor and her eyes flashed between her own eye color and those of her vampire and wolf Half looking back at Heaven she smiled and kissed her "you stay here okay when you get the chance get to safety " she ran into the dark meet the beast head on the scales on its body where a slimy green color and the three heads didn't look all that pleasant.
The body was big and well looked like a big hill top covered with dangerous sharp edges and thorns dripping poison, the tail was long and furry with a spiked tip covered n flames. The claws and Fangs of the beast looked very sharp as well and stained with blood.
Charging the beast she let her legs pick up speed this thing was way beyond her level but she wouldn't let it hurt Heaven, not now not ever. Summoning her sword and using her speed she got up on the beast and began to attack it slashing at it and punching it with all her might.
The battle went on forever but it seemed like ever cut and bruise she gave it would just fade away with time, she was panting by now and have a few cuts on her, one on her eyebrow on the right made her seeing red as the blood spilled down her face.
Landing on the ground she panted a little hearing a shift she jumped up as the tail smacked the ground where she was standing but she could avoid the claw the smacked her across the cave and into the wall. She felt her breath knocked out of her body but got back up, she saw she was close to the edge of the dark pit, thinking back to the images she had only glanced at before moving on she smirked and with the last of her strength grabbed the burning tail and pulled the beast to her. Once he was close enough she ran behind him and kicked with all her might he began to fall over the edge, Ri would have smirked if not for the sticky tongue that grabbed her leg as he fell over the edge with a screech pulling her along with him into the inky blackness.
Grabbing the edge she dug her claws in and tried to hold on while her tail tried to pry the damn tongue off her leg whimpering in pain she let go with one and and cut the tail making her already fractured ribs crack at the add wait . Ri began to slip from the edge into the darkness.
Looking up she couldn't spot Heaven, her heart gave a painful beat, did she already leave thought Ri, smiling sadly she whispered what she thought would be her last words ever "I love you my angel Heaven"

"You have a knack for spouting the most stupid things at the most inopportune times"
A slender fingered hand clamped itself none too gently around the girl's wrist forgoing kindness and belying the seeming delicacy it had. Even if there had been time for it she would have had none to give. Fury formed a threatening thunder cloud of dark in those grey depths.
"You stupid irresponsible idiot!" she spat pulling her back up and out of danger unceremoniously letting her go. "What part of stay close to me don't you understand? You could have been killed! Were you trying to die?!"
A part of her came to register that not only had the level of her voice risen a notch for the first time in ever it also shook more than a little slightly. Clamping her mouth shut against the realisation she racked the girl with a disgusted look that unkindly blamed her for it. For the first time in a long while she'd felt fear and it hadn't even been for her own welfare.
And make no mistake, it was all her fault.
Though the useless nature of her powers in here wasn't. Still it annoyed her greatly. Normally she could handle such a thing in a heartbeat and yet all she could do was watch with her heart in her mouth unable to rid herself of the sheild spell to get to anything else as it sucked away at her magic energy. She wasn't at all thankful neither had there been time to be impressed at the way Ri had handled herself or in essence 'saved' her. The word smarted painfully. To think that after all this time and work...she found herself in debt with an increasing in ability to shake it off as not being any of her concern.
Heaven couldn't risk healing her here even thought it was obvious she was in pain. Probably broken something. Heaven had no doubt trying to help here might end up making matters worse. Not like she didn't deserve it, she muttered feeling the fear that still fluttered around her chest. Normal fear was an adreneline rush, this one had felt almost crippling.
"We have to get out of this place now" choosing not to point out her inabilities right now,not when they were already starkly plain. She obviously also choose to lack any kind of sympathy in her voice. "Can you walk a little while?" she asked helping her up this time gently with a caring that was lost to the tone of her voice or her still angry gaze.

Ri grinned a little "you seem angry....but i am just happy you came back and are safe" she moved to walk forward but stumbled and fell to ground a happy grin on her face as she let the darkness consume her mind.

She just about caught Ri, moving before she had formed the consious thought only realising it when she caught her weight. Oh brilliant she thought wapishly and yet her heart beat was rapid and alarmed. Her hand trembled as it sought a pulse finding it present after a few nerve wracking seconds in which she cursed herself for having done it wrong so unsettled was she.
Picking her up proved harder than it would have done with her magic working properly but she did it anyway slinging the taller girl's arm round her shoulder. The hand that found Ri's waist was an easy action. One designed to help her carry her weight and nothing more but Heaven found herself thinking things completely unrelated to the job at hand and ones that warmed her cheeks. She gave a small huff and focused instead on being angry. Even if she had to fuel it with things Ri hadn't even done just as long as all she felt was anger, a feeling she was more comfortable with. Unfortunately it wasn't working quite as well as she had hoped.
Another corridor continued now once they were out taking them further away from the center continuing on and on till soon she could smell the fresh air again. It only occurred to her belatedly senses dulled by the worry she felt and the conversation she held with a girl who couldn't even hear her berate her so vehemently. The air suggested an exit further on. One that Heaven wanted to get to but wasn't about to rush for.
The more important issue at hand was the girl she had put to rest close by her now and as long as that had all her attention she couldn't give anything else even fleeting notice. She’d healed her almost as soon as she felt her magic right itself. She knew she’d done it, it hadn't been hard at all, it was all fixed but the girl slept still. Soundlessly so and where that was probably a good thing while she recovered, it set Heaven on edge; always having to go back to confirm the intake of breath for herself when ever the girl stilled in a way that would install something akin to panic within.
Much like she was doing now bent low over the sleeping girl, head close cheek picking up the subtle puffs of air against the skin of her cheek. Her hair fell forward brushing the girl’s nose unwittingly gaze following the unconscious reaction falling slowly, thoughtlessly to her mouth.
‘I love you…’ she’d said.
Funny the things people say when they face death. To avoid embarrassing the girl Heaven decided she wouldn’t mention it. It did make her wonder though, if the situation had been reversed what would she have said hanging there precariously…
Staring at the sleeping face even this close even with the relief of her breathing Heaven was afraid to admit she might not have said anything at all… Too proud to say even a mere good bye to someone who had become so important....

Ri's face twitched a little something was tickling her nose it smelt good though whatever it was. Cracking opening an eye she winced from the light the barely streamed through the cave. Slowly opening both eyes she found Heaven's face in front of hers "hey" came her voice slighty scratch from her dry throat. She smiled and reached up and caressed the girls face pushed her hair back behind her ear. "your a very beautiful site to wake up to, for a moment there i didn't think i would wake up.....you know come to think of it if i am dead this is a very nice place to be if your here"
