    “Well then, I’m going to go to the front of the clinic and sit in the comfy chairs. Want to join?” He holds out his hand towards Aventine.

    okay!

    Lundyn remembers what Pic had told her, and starts to hum softly as she rocks back and forth.

    Pic moves to set Aventine down on his bed, and realizes that the room is full of glitter. His face contorts, but quickly recovers. 

    Not now, he thinks, but whoever did this needs to answer. 

    After considering for a moment, he sets Aventine down in the glitter anyway, and ushers the rest of the people into his room and out into the hallway.

    Pic sighs. "It happens to everyone here eventually," he hums. He begins to hum his song of strength (the marching beat one) and carry Elan to his room. After dropping him off, he closes the door to allow him to rest, and turns to Aventine. "Now to your room or the medbay?" he asks. @Spark of Hope

    yep! also who's in charge of Ayla? who's character are they?

     

    Lundyn sits in the closet of her room at the insanity clinic, not really doing anything. She missed Pic. Was Pic dead? Was it her fault? She started to cry quietly and lays her head on her arms, crossed above her knees which were pulled close to her chest.

    I think you're at the clinic now, but Lundyn doesn't' know that

    The staves around her legs grow tighter, and then dissipate. Lundyn begins fading away as she sings, but feels a pull towards Pic grow stronger the louder she sings. 
     

    “You’ll be safe, and you only need to sing to find me again.” He hesitates. “Wait a few days before singing. I want to be safe too.”

    Lundyn's eyes darted around and settled on Pic. "Wait, Pic! Why are you-" her voice was cut off as she dissappeared.

    Pic runs through the fight and chaos after Lundyn disappears. He frantically runs to the area where Aventine was before, and notices an otherworldly glow from the rift. Aventine’s message is glaring in Pics eyes, but he ignores it. It isn’t Aventine herself, after all. 
     

    Pic starts whistling the waltz he and Aventine had danced to for the first time. It was the main thing that reminded him of her. His staves reappeared and wrapped around his feet.

    As debris crashed and rained around Pic, he quite literally danced out of the way. Out of the way of pain, out of the way of loneliness, towards hope. His feet were moved by something, or someone, else. When the song came to its final measure, Pic came out of a trance he didn’t quite know he was in, found himself standing over Aventine.  
     

    He panicked. 
     

    “No no no no,” he said, kneeling down over the unconscious body of Aventine. Pic quickly leaned over her and listened for breathing, and his worries were dampened, but not extinguished.

    Pic nodded. “I have to go,” he sang, but I’ll leave some help for the kid. He turned to Lundyn. 

     

    “You can if you sing!” He sang at her. “You’ve sung before, just sing along with me again.”

     

    "Um- okay!" Lundyn begins to sing along with Pic. She starts out quiet but lets her voice grow louder along with pic's humming.

    "I'm not trying to die, nor do I think I'm going to soon. But let me put it more into perspective."

    She held up one finger. "Elan. I cared about him. He was just killed."

    She held up another. "Waylen. I cared about him. When I ran away, he was killed."

    She held up a third. The image Quinn had seen before of the man stabbed in the back with a knife. "Alston." She nearly choked on the name she hadn't spoken in six years. "I cared about him. When he chose to get engaged to me, he was killed."

    "It's like I'm cursed. If I care about you, you get killed. End of story." She looked back at Quinn. "I don't want to die. But I don't want anyone else to either. That's why I have to leave. It's not even a choice."

    The Being, Elan, or at least his body, looked up at the dragons. He waved a hand and the black liquid slag from the city shot up, impaling one of them straight through the heart. It liquefied, joining the dark mass that was growing from the melting city and joining into The Being. 

    YOU CANNOT STOP ME. The Being said, it's voice echoing through the dying city. I AM ALL THAT ONCE WAS AND ALL THAT WILL BE. ALL WILL RETURN TO ME. The coin itself began melting, holes appearing, making a path between the under and over cities. A path leading to death no matter which side you were on. 

    Get out of here. Elan sent. I can't control him. I can't do anything but talk to you, like this. Get the heck out of here. NOW. I don't care how, just get AS FAR FROM THIS PLACE AS POSSIBLE.

    Lyla took the juice box ponderously, sipping a little of the juice. "I..." She hesitated, looking down at her leg. Her expression hardened as she thought. "Yes, I believe I can. If you come, then it will be far easier and I can more fully guarantee her survival."

    torrents o magic rained down on Elan from the dragons in their grief and rage. Their voices like hurricaines, they each demanded that Elan cease or die.

    Outskirts of Neverkeep

    Roy's body fell to the ground unmoving. Aventine was on her hands and knees, gasping in exasperation. She still leaned into Pic.

    Pic gripped the two of them tightly, and watched the battle.

    Pic held her to try and support her. 

    He watched, helpless, as these beings of great power clashed above him. He knew his sheild would not work, so he tried a different preperation. He paused his song, and focused on what he wanted. He wanted Aventine and Lundyn safe. He wanted to take care of the both of them. He let those emotions guide his voice into a song, and trusted himself to do what was needed. 

    His voice stayed quiet, and began to hum a halting, jerking melody. It had hints of sadness, hints of hope, and most importantly, longing. The staves began to glow pink and slithered towards Lundyn's and Aventine's ankles. They wrapped around, mimicking a bracelet, and waited, thrumming with the music and pulsing with power. As Pic layered his music into a symphony with an untraceable tempo, the magic waited. 

    For in order to join a symphony, one merely has to sing.

    Pic nods at the air, then carefully pics up Elan’s body. His strength was just barely enough to do so. His song continued, snd he kept an eye on Aventine and Lundyn.

    Darknesses’ presence began to erode the dagger that Aventine had. No matter how much will she put into the dagger, it wouldn’t work. 
     

    As for Pic, he hesitated when Spark left, but Lindy was still on his back. He had to find the others, surely they had more experience than he did. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

    Lindy? is that a typo, or a new nickname?

    Pic’s thoughts are a jumble. I can save the child. Once that’s taken care of, then worry about the girlfriend. I don’t know what losing one will do, but I for sure can’t lose both.  Save the child. That’s all that matters right now.  @shortcake

    “Can you get her to safety?” He asked Lyla,  handing her the juice box.

    I know it technically doesn't make sense but we're just gonna say that Lundyn fell asleep

    Lundyn lifted her head, yawning. "What the the heck did I miss- how did I even sleep? Ahh-"

    “Gosh, there are a lot of you,” said the driver. She watched them all land in the hovercraft with a wry smile on her face. “The closest city is Neverkeep, it’s where I’m headed. If you want, I can bring you there.”

    @The Bookwyrm@Spark of Hope@shortcake@Cash67@whoever else went to the hovercraft

    Lundyn steps closer to Pic and Aventine, not saying anything.

    She tried to make friction with the floor, but wasn’t able to. This can’t be the end… not when I was finally…

    “Pic! Lundyn!” She wasn’t sure if she was heard.

    She grabbed his ankle as they were pulled through.

    Pic threw himself and Lundyn againt the wall of the orb they were in, hurtling them towards the hovercraft.

    Pic's grip on Lundyn increased to an almost painful level, and he instictually leaped away from the vaccum. His legs carried him far, but not far enough to excape the pull. He passsed by everyone who was being sucked into the vaccum, and then began to approach them once again. Pic pulled Lundyn close, and started humming the marching beat again. The same light sheild formed around them as they were dragged into the unknown. 

     

     

    Lundyn tried to scream, but no sound came out as she and Pic were pulled into the vacuum.

    As they all approached Thaidakar, saying his name, asking a question, Thaidakar touched the handle of the door. It was cold to the touch, inventing, familiar, and oh so unforgiving.

    A flicker of a smile touched his face as he recognized the patter not the floor beneath his knees. The First pattern. Behind the door, light and dark flickered, casting long shadows that moved as if in a dance without rhythm and without beat, yet was intoxicating to the eye.

    Thaidakar felt the minds of those who approached, not going in, simply recognizing their presence. Words were difficult. But that had always been the case for Thaidakar in some way. Words, to be heard, had to be rhythmic. They could not stand as the shadows around him.

    "Words," Thaidakar said, "Are like booze. Too little and you're left wanting more, too much and you wish you hadn't even began. The definition of either changes in every scenario. You have to be lucky to get the right ones. In a sense, words are a chameleon of fortune." He stood, turning to the group of people, noting the expressions on their face. "As booze is the glue that holds a good party together, words are the glue which holds humanity together.

    "And it is also the weapon which destroys it." Thaidakar drew in a breath of the ever growing stuffier air of the corridor, dust intermixing as feet pattered upon the ground, sending it up in musky clouds. Thaidakar's hand tightened on the handle of the door, flexing over the rotund edges. "Yet there are times when booze, and therefore words, fail. There are times when we falter with our words and when the booze does not have the intended result."

    Thaidakar ripped open the door, revealing a green night sky with shifting constellations and distant shapes. For a moment, everything seemed to freeze and Thaidakar said, "In those moments, actions, and, consequently, a swift punch to the other person's gut, are superior to words." With a loud burst of air, everyone in the hallway were sucked violently towards the void by a sort of vacuum in reality. 

    He leapt into the air, falling back into the void with a grin on his face. He fell as if onto a canvas, growing slowly smaller to those who were still flying towards the door, "Wouldn't you agree?"
