Oh, thank goodness she's okay. Aventine moved between the three outer Inquisitors and made her way into the cell, making sure not to let Jar Man touch them.

As soon as she stepped between them, they turned on her, staring through their metal eyes. 

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Yes. I... I managed to get to you using my magic, though it... wasn't easy."

Rue nodded slowly. “Thank you,” she whispered, and then went limp again.

"Rue?" He held her up. "Please, stay with me here. We need to figure out what to do. Elariel wants to go to other worlds, and he wants us to 'guide' him. I'm worried about all this..."

One of the inquisitors swung a long wooden pole at her.

Rue didn’t answer. In his mind, TAAron heard a faint voice. I can’t…they did something to me, to my magic…I’m sorry. You shouldn’t have come.

The veil wore off Aventine and Jar Man and they crashed into the cell wall. Aventine's head hit the wall, and her scalp began to bleed.

Of course I should have. I'm not just going to leave you alone. Please, let's-

TAAron cried out in shock, then tried to reach the two.

“More of you…” one of the inquisitors murmured, advancing on Aventine and Jar Man.

She was aware of the approach, but she was too injured to make any moves against him.

Do you need someone to save you since all of you are now not in a great place?

What is the nature of the thing that's impacting her magic and making her keep falling unconscious?

Aventine groaned on the floor.

TAAron froze as his glow grew brighter. What could he do? Fight the Inquisitors? His magic wasn't for combat...

She saw his glow and tried to protest, but she was in too much pain to even speak. She hissed in pain.

Pic, being distracted, only just now jumped through the portal, making much noise. Considering it was also where the note of Preservation was coming from, he was drawn there. 

 

With all of the noises, all of the inquisitors tuned toward Pic. He hesitated, then had a set, determined face. His hum turned into a choir, and he seemed to grow in stature, though he did not change in size. He made the inquisitors shy back, but then they al advanced on him. Pic wove between them like a dancer in a waltz, giving the rest of the group an opportunity.

It was in a mere second that Melody immediately resolved her issue.

She lunges forward, stabbing the voice's owner. "You said you know where TAAron and Rue are. Answer."

The man spat out a chuckle, which only made her more infuriated.

"I can still kill you," she threatened.

The guy laughed even more. "Killing me will only make things worse. You think I'll tell you where your friends are? You think I will-"

His line was cut off as Melody plunged her glass dagger into the heart of the guy, leaving him dead, slumped over a chair with a wound in his chest.

The rest of the members of his gang or crew stared at her.

"Where are they." Melody demanded.

"Uhm... Only he knew, but apparently it relates to a lord called Elariel."

"Lord Elariel?"

"Yes... Apparently he has some sort of advantage over others. Master Reislek was quite interested in him."

"I see."

Melody decided not to use her powers, as her head was still spinning. 

She walked out of the Skaa rebels' hideout, and onto the streets of Luthendel, streaking towards where she knew Rue and the others would be.

Hopefully they were still alive by then.

+1 curse on Melody lol

So from what I understand, there are us in the prison/keep (Rue, TAAron, JM, and Aventine and me), and Melody is walking towards us?

Also my resposes are gonna suck this weekend, out of town on retreat, so assume I give y'all an opening then godmod Pic into getting overwhelmed and I'll pick him back up on monday.

A knock resounded on the door that lead to Lord Elariel's place.

A young girl in skaa’s clothes opened it, looking nervous. “Can I help you?” She squeaked.

The inquisitor with the pole brought it down, towards his head.

Well, the issue is that I don't know if something TAAron might do could help...

I honestly have no idea what to do

I mean, he'll do it either way, I just don't know how to describe the effects if it works since I don't know what's going on with Rue

In a desperate attempt, TAAron grabbed Rue's hand and tried to move some of his magical energy into her. He couldn't fuel her abilities, or directly fend off whatever was being done to her, but maybe he could isolate her soul from the effects.

I already know he probably anticipated this. Probably.
