*As Lance lands with a soft thud in the darkness, he immediately gets his bearings and continues his pursuit of Quinn, calling out her name, his voice echoing against the earthen walls of the tunnel.*"Quinn, can you hear me?" * He asks, his voice filled with urgency and concern.* "Where are you? Please respond!" * He listens intently for any sound, any sign that would lead him to her location down the tunnel.
"Lance!" *she yelled from up ahead* "Ugh let go of me!!"
*Lance's heart skips a beat as he hears Quinn's voice echoing through the tunnel, strained and faint, but distinct enough to guide him in the right direction.*"I'm coming, Quinn!" *He shouts back, his footsteps quickening as he races towards the sound of her voice.* "Hold on, I'm coming!" *As he gets closer, he can hear the struggle and her protestation, prompting him to increase his pace even more, his concern and determination propelling him forward.*
*Lance finally reaches the end of the tunnel and finds himself standing on the edge of a small clearing. Before him, he sees Quinn being accosted by several mysterious figures shrouded in shadows. They seem to be attempting to drag her away, but she's putting up a valiant fight against them.* "Unhand her!" *He roars, a surge of anger and adrenaline rushing through him. Without hesitation, he dashes forward, unsheathing his sword.*
*The black demon-like figures hiss and one of them jumps at him as the other two run away with Quinneth*
*Lance swiftly dodges the leaping figure, his movements swift and calculated, his reflexes razor sharp. Without wasting a second, he spins around, his blade slicing through the air, cleaving the figure in two with a powerful stroke. He then turns his attention to the fleeing figures, rage burning in his veins.*
"Release her, you miscreants!" *He shouts, his voice echoing through the clearing, as he dashes after them, his footsteps light and determined.*
"Lance!!" *Quinneth cries and struggles against her attackers. One of the hooded demons pulls a lever and a large door closes*
*Lance's eyes widen in horror as he sees the door shut in his face, cutting him off from Quinn and her assailants. His heart constricts with unease, his mind racing.**He quickly regains his focus, his resolve strengthening. He won't let them take her away without a fight. He takes a deep breath, his eyes hardening with determination, and charges towards the door, using all his strength to try and shove it open.*
*Lance grunts with effort as he throws his weight against the heavy door, but it seems to be sealed shut from the other side.*"Blast it!" *He hisses, frustration evident in his voice.* "Quinn! Hang on! I'm coming for you!"*He takes a step back, his mind already working on a solution. He glances around, searching for another entrance or a weakness in the door that he could exploit.*
*His eyes zero in on a small crack in the door frame, and an idea sparks in his mind. He takes a deep breath, gathering every ounce of his strength, and throws himself against the door once again, aiming directly at the weak spot. The door creaks and groans in resistance, but with one final push, it gives way, crumbling inwards and opening a gap large enough for him to squeeze through.*
*Panting slightly, Lance quickly slips through the gap and finds himself in a small, dark corridor. He can still hear the faint sounds of struggle ahead, and he wastes no time in following the noise, his sword at the ready and his heart pounding in his chest.*
