APOLLOS' POV.
I feel the energy leave me as Pandora is whisked away.
I only had enough to save one.
I block her, and begin to search for another exit.
My Shadows are freaking out, but they'll be fine if I die.
Hey. They'll survive as long as they stay in there until I'm completely done. Dead and stiff and cold.
I find another exit, and try to break it open.
I rattle the door, and shout incoherently.
A scream of horror and a dragon roar echo in my ears in the burning hall.
I slam into the door, and pound on it.
Why won't it open?
Then, suddenly the nob jiggles.
I pound on the door, and pull back.
It doesn't budge much, and I can tell it goes this way.
I'm stupid.
I yank on it, and the door flys open.
Only one problem, I go too.
I fly into the burning hall, slamming into the wall.
I stand up, and call Pandora.
She helps me out, and we exit the building.
I slouch in the grass for a secound, then straighten up.
I turn to the one who'd heard me, and hug them.
I whisper, "Libby, I owe you my life."
I peck her on the cheek, and rush off to fight the vigilantes.
One cries, "Thereeeee hhheeee issss.s"

STINKING SNAKE!

I lunge forward, calling my Shadows into thier tattoo.
They obey, and I pop them back out.
We engage the snake shifter.
I roll, dodge, and block.
He mirrors me.
Then I remember and advantage I have.
I turn owl, sending my Shadows to their marking.

I fly above the man, and turn into a tiger.
Thud!
The man falls to the ground, and we get cornered by vigilantes.

I release my Shadows, and Pandora turns into mark on her own accord.
I shrug, and swing my sword.
This'll be intersting. 20 VS 1.

A while later in the flaming school....
I work with Pandora and my Shadows to get water to throw over the school to control the blaze.
I use a water whip, Pandora sprays it from her maw, and the Shadows use their natural abilites to help.
After the blaze is under control, we look for survivors.
I run along the charred and broken ground. Blood is spilt on everything, giving the world a scent of burnt death.
Pandora growls, insisting I can't walk on the ember littered ground.
I shrug, and remind her I'm part Fire.
I find a the twig man, and load him onto Pandora.
She flys him to a hospital, while I find more people.
I find Luke, and he's in no need of medical attention.
A small cut is on his face, and is unconscious.
He wakes up as I say his name.
He stands up, brushing the dust off himself.
He looks around, shock written all over him.
I look at him, and ask, "Libby and I are searching for surviors. Feel free to join whenever. Do you mind helping?"
I see him nod, and we take off to find more surviors.

We find sixty more people out of the seventy that were there at the time. I don't believe that they're dead, just hidding somewhere in the nearby brambles. It would make sese becuase it's the designated meeting point.
