Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Yeah, but I'm the one IN the ritual," said Skye. "It's written phonetically, so it should be easy to pronounce." -------------- "I guess," said Miles. "Now then, Mina and I had a bunker nearby here. The stash was hidden close by. This way I think." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "This way. Keep an eye out for an over-sized hollow tree stump. It's a signpost that we're nearby," said Miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 22 Mar 2014 Miles paused and gulped. "Let's... let's hurry," he said, starting to jog. "Gah, I can't even run as fast as I used to," he muttered to himself. -------------- "You want to try to make magic as simple as possible, given what's involved. The only reason it appears so complex is because practitioners want to keep it to a select few," said Skye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 Zamy picked up her pace as well, looking out for the stump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Well, I guess that explains why you don't usually see people doing magic as you walk down the street" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Exactly. That, and for most people, the best they could do would be to make a few pretty lights," said Skye. "There we go. Circle's ready." ---------------- "There's the stump," called Miles happily. "The bunker entrance is hidden under a nearby boulder, but the stash is over this way." Miles began walking from the stump, counting his paces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 Zamy gave Miles a nod and looked around for any other people, but didn't notice any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Guess that means Zamy is better than most people even if she did have someone controlling her" Dylan thought to himself "And what guarantee is there that I will be able to do more than make a few pretty lights?" he then said as he got into place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "I'm providing the power," said Skye. "You're acting as the focus. Okay Melody, lie down here," said Skye as he secured Melody to one of the dais. He turned to Dylan. "Can you strap me down on the other one," he asked. ------------- "48... 49... 50!" Miles stamped his foot down, smiled, and started digging with his hand. "Got it. Here's the container." Miles started pulling the turf back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Okay. Lie down" Dylan said clearly nervous about the whole ordeal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 Skye did as he was told. "Make sure they're tight. Don't want to hurt myself." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Great work. You might want to check inside to see if it's still all in there." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 Dylan gave Skye a look when he 'hurt myself' but still strapped him in as right as he could "That okay?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Perfect. Thank's Dylan. And good luck!" said Skye. --------------- "Don't worry, I will." said Miles. With the turf torn away Miles began opening the complex lock. "I think we're gonna get in and out with no interruptions," he smiled to himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Yeah, I think we're gonna be just..." Zamy stopped when she turned around to see a small group approaching them, recognising the one in the middle as Alicia Acorn, who looked a combination of smug and irate. "Guess we spoke too soon."

Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Go for it," said Skye, bracing himself. ------------ "Wh-what?" asked Miles, looking up. "Oh no... oh no..." he murmured. "Should we hide?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "Okay" Dylan said before taking a deep breath and beginning to read the spell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 "They've already seen us. It'd be no use," said Zany. Alicia's group got closer to them and moved to box them in. "Look what we got here. Is that you Miles, you little pipsqueak?" she said, not seeing he was missing a tail due to the angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 Skye started channeling power, running it around the circle and letting Dylan focus it. He shuddered slightly as his time de-synchronization was copied. 'Is this what it feels like. It's worse than I thought,' thought Skye to himself. ----------- Miles gulped, then drew himself up. "Hello Alicia. I didn't take you as someone who enjoyed a morning constitutional," he said in his old, arrogant manner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 Dylan continued the spell but also tried to keep a close eye on Melody and Skye for any changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Mar 2014 Skye shuddered again. Melody gave a gasp as she actually felt a shock. 'Should be almost done now,' thought Skye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
