She still hadn't looked back at them. "Cutting off an elemental's life force isn't an immediate end-all. We all have a backup energy supply of sorts in case the bond is temporarily broken. If Master decided to end me..." The implication was clear. I would know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick analysis showed they were all either dead, dying or fleeing. Looking at his companions they seemed, fine, if a little bruised. "Are either of you hurt badly?" "I'm fine," Avi said, grimacing as she stood up. "Nothing I can't handle." 8 hours ago, Ookla the Nerdy said: "We might want to take a quick break.

"Sit still Mercury, you wish to run off like the bolt of lightning I made your from. Wait. There is one thing that I must explain to you, it is very important. You will always know when you are disconnected from me, you will have a limited ammount of energy to run off of before you die.

Quote AND THE PLOT ttttttHICKENS I’ikeq walked alongside the Elementals, with Ra’nat and the elf behind them. Both Mercury and Kaeni looked morose. Foolish, I’ikeq thought.

Quote I'll be off for the next day or so. With help from Avi, Il'anque removed the pelt. She ate some of her fruit, and sat down contentedly. Soon, the break was over.

The White Iron awaited. @Ookla the Perpetual Quote There's actually two more layers, the Second Layer is a mix of hiking and climbing, while the Third Layer is mostly climbing. Avi followed Il'anque until they reached a cliff that marked the start of the Second Layer. It was a short climb for this first small stretch, but it would be difficult to reach the Third Layer. And Avi didn't even want to think of what she had to do at that point. She grabbed a crystal jutting from the small cliff and began to climb. Best save magical forms of ascension for when I actually need it... @Ookla the Frustrated.
