Luna and Valda appeared at the top of the winding stairs that lead down to the cells.
Valda had a wide grin on her face and a glowing lantern hanging from her right hand.
Luna on the other hand was bent over, hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath and keep herself from throwing up as her mind swims.
"I will never get used to that." Luna wheezes, standing straight.
Before Valda is able to say anything back, noises came from the other side of the magical door.
"Valda! Don't you dare take her down there! Open this door!" Came Gabriel's angry voice, along with his fists pounding on the door so hard that Luna was surprised that it was still standing.
Valda just rolls her eyes and uses her left hand to hold the bottom of her dress up as she begins to descend the staircase.
"Lets go, my magic is strong but Gabriel is very creative." Valda mumbles knowing fully well what that Lycan was capable of.
Luna jumps when Gabriel's fist slam against the door again, making her grab the bottom of her dress with her left hand and grab the railing with her right so that she could slowly follow Valda without having to worry about tripping.
Once they get to the bottom, Valda links arms with Luna and whispers a few words.
Luna watches as a small light pops up and floats in the air for a few seconds before zooming to the left, showing the two women where to go.
All was quiet until the two women finally found the group of cells that the men were in, making Valda's temper flare when no one steps forwards to see them.
"Fine then. We will just go since no one is up for conversing." Valda's lips were in a straight line as she turns herself and Luna, who gets dizzy instantly, around, ready to leave.
"Wait!" Barrett cries out, his head still stuck between the bars.
"Good boy!" Valda cheers as she sets the lantern onto the ground before clapping her hands together, lighting up the area around them, mostly for Luna.
Shadow snorts, drawing Lunas attention to him as Valda turns to see the elf.
"Oh my! What have you gotten yourself into?!" Valda gasps, taking in the situation that the tired elf was currently in.
"I got a little excited." Barrett frowns, hoping that Valda would help him.
Valda's tongue was poked out of her mouth, her teeth biting on it as she began to maneuver the elf around.
"Hi." Luna whispers, her eyes never leaving Shadow.
"Hi." Shadow whispers back, taking a deep breath, taking in Lunas vanilla scent, which immediately calmed him.
Gheorgie was glaring at Shadow from the back of his cell, angry at the way the two were looking at one another and angry at Jaiyana for pairing them together. The whole thing tasted of bitter betrayal.
"You shouldn't be down here." Gheorgie turns to face Luna, interrupting Lunas and Shadows moment, making Shadow growl.
"You shouldn't be talking." Valda grunts just as she pushes Barrett's head back through the bars with a little bit of magic.
Gheorgie's mouth opens and closes, not knowing how to respond to that.
Luna takes a deep breath, calming her nerves as she straightens her posture and turns towards Gheorgie, completely facing him with the most angry look on her face that she could muster.
