"Here are your orders, Pet. To ensure the kitten learns her lesson---Give the Princess no choice but to fight you. Attack her like you want to kill her. And if you find something of value, take it along with them. If anyone chooses to interfere... You may kill them. Put on a good show. But remember, we need the Princess and Feodora alive."

"By your order... Lady Emyr."

Prism and Liam could feel the wind rushing through them as they fell from the cliff. They were both panicking as neither had no way to stop their fall. Even as Liam manifested flames below his feet to keep themselves a float they still fell.

"LIAM! DO SOMETHING!" Prism exclaimed through the harsh winds.

"I CAN'T---" He yelled, "---WE'RE FALLING TOO FAST!!"

"PRIIISSSSMM!!!"

They could see Aine flying towards them on her carpet, with them being Feodora, Karasu, Pluck, Alistar and Avalon. She quickly grabbed ahold of them before they found themselves hurtling towards the trees down below as they shrieked.

They ended up falling off the carpet as they fell in the tree branches. Each of them hit the tree branches as they ended up hitting one branch after another. Pluck managed to grab a hold of the branch along with Prism, Liam, Aine and Alistar to ease their fall.

Feodora, Avalon and Karasu on the other hand, ended up landing on the branch as they practically ricocheted off of them.

Feodora and Avalon ended up hitting the ground face first as they groaned, while the rest landed on their feet.

"ANA LATTA AS ME, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?"Aine exclaimed as she had been freaking out, she soon turned to the others, "IS EVERYBODY OKAY, ANYONE HURT!?"

"No, just in shock that--SOMEONE LITERALLY TRIED TO BLOW US UP!" Pluck yelled.

Liam looked around the area, "Did anyone else fall with us?"

"I don't think so." Prism said before sighing with relief, "Thank Mana."

Feodora sighed with relief too, "That means Asta is okay too..."

"Wait---" Avalon said, "---Where's Karasu?"

BAM--They could hear just above their heads. They looked up and noticed Karasu had on the tree---

---Right on his boys. The others couldn't help but cringe just as Karasu fell on his side on the ground.

"...Just... My luck..." Karasu groaned as he had been paralyzed.

"Oh good, he's fine." Feodora said.

"I oddly felt that one..." Pluck said as he shuddered.

"I feel your pain..." Liam said as he shivered himself.

"Okay---" Avalon said, "--Did ANYONE else fall with us?"

"Well---" Aine said before she showed Snow and Yoshi who came out of hiding, "--I got them safely, before I went to catch all of you. Good thing I'm a fast flyer when it comes to the carpet. "
