[i]The entrance had yet to close, yet the shaking would only continue. What wasn't helping Cain would be streaks of blue that scattered his vision, yet he could see clearly to some extent still.[/i]

“Lilly...” Cain said as he began to run to the exit. “I am seeing...blue.” “Blue?!” “Yes. Blue streaks. What is it?” “I’m not sure?! Your eyes are being more sensitive to light then usual?!” Cain ran out the door, continuing to make his way up the mines.
-
[i]Pieces of rubble and debris had begun to fall upon Cain and Lilly, while the soldiers and miners had only begun to stir, one female attempting to rise up in her beaten form.[/i] [spoiler]>Alert the soldiers and miners to escape >Help the soldiers and miners escape >Leave them to die[/spoiler]

“We need to help them!” Lilly yelled. “I agree, can you walk?” “Ya I can walk! You’re the one who picked me up!” Cain put Lilly down and she immediately ran to one of the soldiers. “Are you okay?” She asked the soldier, her hand glowing with a bright light.
-
"The voice is gone.." [i]The soldier murmured, trying to stand. He attempted to rise up to his feet, before staying on his knees, groaning in pain.[/i] "Coldbournes, Dojo.. Trayven, my King.."
-
“I...okay, just hold on!” Lilly said as she planted an open palm on the man’s chest. The course of her healing magic flowed through him. Her natural talent for healing would help all of the soldiers significantly, but she would have to treat each one individually. And fast.
-
[i]She didn't have much time, though, as the cavern shook and crumbled. At this rate, they had a few options - attempt to heal all of the soldiers out in the freezing weather, or fully heal at least one or two, maybe three, before abandoning the rest of the wounded.[/i]

That’s like a really uncommon occurrence Cain. You sure we wanna take this road?” Cain looked at his sister with disgruntled stare. She rubbed the back of her head with an innocent smile and he shook his head. “Yes. Yes I do.” Cain told her before he raised his hands to his lips and whistled. The sounds of hooves beating on the ground filled the cave. They got closer and closer, before their point of origin ran through the wall like a ghost. A blue flaming skeletal horse. Cains steed, Anjelica. He quickly mounted the horse, grabbing Lilly and pulling her up. He looked down to the soldier. “Grab on to her rib cage!” Cain told the soldier as he pointed to the undead steeds exposed ribs. “Now!”
-
[i]The steed would draw in only that soldier, while a few would hang on to the horse with whatever strength that they had left. Though the entrance was close enough where they could still manage saving all of the men.[/i]
-
Cain leapt off his steed, and the horse ran out with all of the soldiers who had taken grasp of it along with Lilly. Cain ran to each soldier, helping them as quickly as he could until he was able to round up all of them. With that, he lead the way towards the exit of the mine.
-
[i]The two's operation would save the group, to say the very least.[/i] [i]As the soldiers and Coldbournes found themselves outside, the team of men and women would ignite a small flame, melting away the ice. The captain from before would stare at Cain, before only nodding at him. Meanwhile, both Coldbournes could detect confusion in the soldier's voices.[/i] "I saw him, the bаstard child.." "No, not the Immortal One.." "That damn singing made me.." "What was that singing?" [i]...A bit of questioning would be good.[/i]
-
“Do you guys h-have any connection to what just happened?” Lilly asked them, putting her hood back up to shield her from the weather.
-
[i]The few awake men and women sighed, letting each other explain.. to the best of their ability, anyway.[/i] "We don't know. The supplies.. those were ours, yet your supplies as well. But the hallucinations.." "That sounded like Lady Athena's voice.."
-
“Lady...Athena?” Lilly asked with a raised eyebrow. “As in...the goddess?”
-
"No, ma'am. Our holy priestess Athena, the songstress of the King, Armillion. An honest and kind women, yet she as disappeared from the capitol.." "Was that truly her? Or a shade of evil?"
-
“Is she blue?” Cain suddenly asked, without any context given to those around him.
-
"...Well, her hair is a light shade of cyan, mixed in with a beautiful silver glamor. And her face, such a-" "Oh, shut it." [i]A soldier would smack his fist over the admirer's head, the rattling of the helmet ringing out.[/i] "Yes, ser. She does have blue hair."
-
“And...is she adopted by a “sun king?”’ Cain then asked. Lilly furrowed her brow as she looked up at the towering figure. “Cain? Where is this coming from?!” “The book I found in the mine. You were out cold when I read it.”
-
"...Lord Armillion Trayven, you mean.. and a book?" [i]The captain questioned, though he would shake his head.[/i] "No, not adopted. The King would adopt children of the fallen, evil tyrants that he had slain, for their widows despised them.. seemingly coincidental, all have obeyed - Princess Isabella, Princess Freya, and Prince Julien, are all children that he would take in." "Then, there is Arthur, his eldest child. Then.. the bаstard-" "Silence!" [i]The captain would slap the soldier, the same one that had been hit before. Perhaps afterwards, Cain should get to know this one..[/i] "Lady Athena is one of m'lord's subjects. Nothing more. Her sister was as well, until her untimely death.."
-
“I’ve...never heard of any of this before.” Lilly stated. “It...begs the question. Where are you all...from? Exactly? Like where on Tatakai?”
-
"...Not.. exactly, m'lady." [i]At that, the captain did shuffle around a little. He had something to hide, yet it didn't seem as if he wanted to hide it from his saviors, and his men's saviors. And well.. Lilly was actually remotely kind.[/i] "We originate.. from a separate land entirely. Tatakai is corrupted, by anarchist and power-hungry monsters under the hides of men. Therefore.. ...The kingdom of Trayve has declared warfare upon the Dojo, and those who would support it."
-
“I do not think there is anyone smart enough at the dojo to rule Tatakai.” Cain commented. “Ya I’m pretty sure it’s leaders are like, hardly present to begin with.” Lilly added. [spoiler]*pew pew!*[/spoiler] “Then it should be a fairly easy win for this empire. Unless those you serve are as corrupt as the ones you fight.” Cain put bluntly.” “Cain!” “We don’t have a good track record with kings Lilly.”
-
[i]The soldiers looked back and forth at each other, out of a certain, equal confusion. Finally, one would break the chilling silence, as one looked up at Cain.[/i] "...Our king.. is not corrupt. I can assure you that. I.. I believe that it is time that we find a better place to speak. This weather is.. freezing."
-
“Is it?” Cain asked the soldier. Lilly and Cain both seemed fine in the cold weather, compared to their new company. However Lilly knew this was relative to their genetics as Coldbournes, and she wouldn’t want to give that portion of their life away. Yet. She wasn’t sure if she could trust these people, in fact she knew she didn’t. They would declare war against the Dojo, the people who helped free the world from her father grasp and others who had sought to claim it. “Yes! Cain! Stop with the sarcasm!” Lilly told Cain as he then looked at her in confusion. “But it isn’t-“ “Warm? Yes! It is not warm! That’s for s-sure! Let’s find someplace else!”
-
"We would have to follow you to wherever you seek to head, ser and ma'am. We know one pathway out of the mountain, yet all that we had would be within the now destroyed cave.." [i]The soldiers would motion for the two to follow them, as they began to head down a pathway. One that was different from the high pathway that lead up to the mouth of the cave, now filled in by ice and rock.[/i]
-
“So this will take us back into the mine?” Cain asked as they descended the slopes.
