Abnegation

Desert Trek

                                        -Poison suddenly appears in the room!-

The Castielite's step back as she laughs "It's time!! The exact hour! You must come and fulfill your fate!"... she just notices the others in the room "I assume you brainwashed them since they're all in one piece?". Don replies "Mother, they're only here to...", she interrupts "Oh they don't matter, if they aren't dead now, they'll die later! Right now, we should start before the witching hour passes and you must wait another year!", she rises her right-arm as Don yells "Mother, wai...". Her, him and Odin suddenly disappear in a flash... Only his dog is left, and with a saddened expression: It tucks it's tail, lies down and whimpers sadly... Lancelot yells "What th' HELL just happened?!", Beltane replies in a frantic tone "W, we have to stop her! It's what Don was gonna say: He has to do a trial to become sultan, bu... it takes three years of utter darkness and being separated from the rest of the world! We CAN'T get him out once the witching hour's over!". Max adds "The tomb in the Augite Desert: but we'd probably never make it!", Lancelot glared "Yes we will! She had ta come before it started: she seemed too excited about it to risk him not getting in that tomb, on time; so we should have a few  minutes!". He then yells "You two, take us to their! We're gonna try an' make it before the witchin' hour's up!", Beltane starts toward the portal that took them there "Then let's go! It's only... 11:50 right now, we could make it if we douse for the Agate-Tomb!". The group rushes to the light, and is warped down... The workers and wizards there watch them curiously as they rush outside...

Lancelot glared "We're goin' at a decent pace now, but the desert's gonna be a bitch!!" he yelled, Max replies "We could make it easy! The Tomb's far away, but if head straight forward, ... we should get there before 12:40... but that's if we get outta the city before 12:00!". Lancelot smiled confidently "Good, it's tight but that's better than what I was thinkin'!" she says, Lora tries to keep up, until he suddenly grabbed her hand "Sorry, I forgot ya ain't use ta this.", she looks up at him as she tries rush and explain "I, I'm sorry, it's just there... so sudden.. and...". Lancelot squeezes her hand... "You shouldn't have ta move like this, sorry princess!!", she blushes slightly as he finished "Look away, I'll lead ya out safely! And across the desert!". 

The group hurries through the city and back to the gates... Unaware that Wit was following closely, ever since Lancelot grabbed Lora's hand: the white demon wasn't even paying attention to where he was, almost being spotted by civilians that happened to look in his direction. Luckily, his speed made him seem as if he was only a white blur: something people wrote off as someone casting magic or something they imagined seeing... Wit angrily climbs the mountains overlooking Augite's gates, and watches as the group instead heads towards the desert which was east of the entrance into the city...
