I didn't know love would tear me apart...

Down...

Down...

Down...

That's the way Rayla is going in the water-portal after jumping in with Callum and finding the prison that Aaravos is kept in after finding the information in the library at Lux Aurea, she is having trouble seeing because she is panicking and the only thing she can feel is Callum's hand holding her tight and making sure she is stable and still with him. Rayla has no idea what Callum is thinking but she knows she would go to the end of the world for him, no matter the consequences if it means keeping him safe and alive.

As Rayla was thinking, she felt the water leave her feet, feels nothing but then she drops to the bottom of the water onto hard stone, coughs and sees the water floating above her head that leaves her confused and then sees Callum being confused as her about the magic of floating water, Callum eventually speaks and says "This reminds me of when we were at the Moon Nexus... when the water made us go inside and out... it felt weird then and it still does now." Rayla agrees mentally and notices that they are inside a cave-like system with two passageways, one leading to possibly Aaravos and one leading to... certain doom? She thinks. However, Callum is getting up to inspect the cave. "I think I should go right, and you go left, it always screams 'LET THERE BE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION!' and it's right up your alley, plus you were talking about Garlath a few days ago" Callum said with nervousness and sarcasm.

Rayla mulls it over in her head and looks him in the eyes and settles on with "How about we go right, I'm not leaving your side okay? We go together."

Callum remembers her words from the Moon Nexus, thinks it through, sighs, smiles and says with slight confidence "Together". Before they walk into the right passage Callum holds her hand, draws the rune for Fulminus and walks into the passage with her behind him so that he can go in front lighting the way forward.

-------------------------------------

Rayla and Callum have been walking for 30 minutes when they come upon a light in the distance and hear voices that sound familiar to them, so they get low and crouch behind a pillar to get a closer look and listen intently...

"I swear this is his prison dad! It looks like the doors you described and once we open it, Aaravos will save you... right Terry?" Claudia says with sadness, conviction and determination, looks to Terry and silently asks for help with convincing Viren to see her picture, Terry hesitates slightly but then speaks up "She's right mate... it's his prison and we can finally save you from this 30 day curse!" Terry says enthusiastically. Viren sighs and then sits down on a rock nearby and waves his hands as if saying 'Go on, get it done'. Claudia chants in Dark Magic with Virens staff. "Rood cigam neaco nepo, Rood cigam neaco nepo, Rood cigam neaco nepo..."

Rayla looks at Callum and whispers "What do we do?", Callum looks around and sees a sharp thin spiral rock hanging from the ceiling, turns around to Rayla and silently points to the rock on the ceiling and makes a cutting sound on his neck, she nods her head that she understood and climbs up the wall, swings on the ceiling and gets to the rock, Rayla gets her butterfly blades out and starts cutting the rock but as she's halfway through she hears a loud BOOM! and looks down below to see the doors of Aaravos' prison is flung open after Claudias spell and sees Aaravos walk out with his hands behind his back, smoke trailing his form as he looks around and speaks with his deep voice, "I sense that two of Zubeia's champions are nearby... the Human Mage and the Moonshadow Elf, no matter, we can dispose one of them to make the other suffer."

As Rayla was hearing the conversation, she saw Callum take a step towards them while drawing the rune for a lightning punch Fulminus Terebro with a look of anger and fear, something she has never seen before and so she drops from the ceiling, lands in front of him and looks into his forest green eyes that she's always loved and whispers to him sternly, "Callum, now is not the time to do something stupid that could put your life in danger!"
