Without warning, a terrible screech pierced Karasu's mind, bringing with it an unrelenting pain which caused her to wince uncontrollably. Several images flashed through her mind of a scene she knew all too well: it was Yousei's old home in the village of Talik. And it was burning yet again. The scream grew louder in Karasu's ears. It was so corporeal that she could hardly recognize it.. As soon as she did, however, her heart sank... It belonged to Yousei... It was then that she realized what must have occurred.
Fairly soon after the pain had arrived, it began to fade away, along with her master's tortured cry. The dragon dug her enormous claws into the dry earth once more, a mixture of fury and the sincerest concern building and warring inside of her. She tried to stay calm.. Her draconic fury quite often got the better of her in situations like this. She knew that there was no way to possibly contact her master while she was in this state of mental anguish and confusion.. No, she would simply have to hope that her assumptions were correct...
She looked up at her old friend and said briefly, ~Please, excuse me, Graqox..~ before turning to contact one of the other members of their group in private.
~Witium, I have seen where Yousei is being held.. A man in dark robes has returned her to her place of origin,~ she explained with sternness in her voice, ~The village of Talik. That is where she is confined. Please, inform the others and find a way to get there as quickly as possible. I shall join you all shortly.~
She turned back to face her old draconic ally and bowed to him, curtly, ~I am terribly sorry, but I must rejoin the others. You may follow if you like, but take heed: we may soon be facing tremendous dangers.~ She ended with an ominous note, before abruptly turning to take flight against the desert sun, her sights set on Eden once more.
~~~
Sweat glistened on Yousei's cadaverous form as she strained to retain her focus. A battle which she was quickly losing.. Very soon, the fires became more vehement and the screams of her mother grew too loud for her to ignore any longer. She felt as though her ears would soon give out.. Her eyes were strained from how tightly she had shut them. She fell to her knees and curled up on the hardwood, the scene around her slowly burning away.. to a black and empty nothingness as she began to lose consciousness in the ash and dust below....

Hile heard a thud behind him. Turning his head out of habit, he concentrated on the echoing sounds, and realized that the elf had fallen to the ground. He turned away from the hooded figure and hurried over to her, setting his weapon down next to him. He laid her down and checked for a pulse.
Good, still alive, at least. He stood and picked up his sword, his back facing the Brother-Leader. "Since you're just so goddamned helpful, how's about explaining that to me?" He spoke harshly, his temper flaring. He wasn't stupid; There was seriously something wrong here. It just didn't add up, although he wasn't entirely sure why. But a Haruchai's instincts are his most reliable weapon, and Hile had no intention of disregarding those teachings.
