64th Devotion: Not Waiting for the Fireworks

[favoritetraitor]

[The camera flickers on just as Solomon collapses on the ground, exhausted, battered, and bloody in the dim interior of his cell. On the ground around him, lay his captors, all laying lifeless, their bodies broken and ripped apart.

Struggling to get up, the Chevalier wearily pulls himself to a sitting position against the twisted remains of the jail cell’s door. His breathing is labored, the only other sounds coming from the swinging remnants of the chains that had bound both wrists to the ceiling.]

I… could use… some assistance.   Mr… Xemnas… Luke... Time... is of the essence....

I believe… a young lady has been… waiting for a rescue…

[In Solomon's world, there was no such thing as magic... so when given the chance to witness such an event, his attention immediately snapped into focus.

Nodding in answer to the vampiress' question, he stepped back to allow the mage room to work.]

I would be grateful for your assistance...

[She frowned at the man who had volunteered but didn't attack or threaten. Solomon trusted him so she would too.]

[The human nodded his head as he approached the woman with care. His hands resting on the metal part of her shackles, before chanting a spell in an unknown language of spell casting, a slight discharge of power was shot at the metal, shattering it in a matter of seconds]

I do what I can to return the favour. It seems the shackles were not as immune as I thought.

Indeed not. No doubt they had not counted on the possibility of their captives helping one another.

[That or they had and simply didn't care, but Xemnas saw no need to mention that. That thought he would hold to himself. Let the others yet retain what fleeting glimpses of hope they could.]

[Watching intently, the Chevalier made note to speak to this young mage sometime in the near future concerning his abilities. But now that Marishka was free, it was vital they escape before too late. His hand reached out to take hers, and he turned his attention back to his second in command.]

Now, how to get out of here... a portal perhaps?

[Would it be that easy?

[Marishka stood gracefully. Her eyes began to glow yellow as she held Solomon's hand.]

No killing them?

I don't think we have time for that Lady, Marishka was it?

[The male frowned as he said it and nodded his head]

Perhaps, not.

I could not arrive here by portal. I do not believe it will help us here.

[Although should it indeed serve as a method of egress he would quite gladly have summoned one up.]

[The Chevalier couldn't help but to chuckle. His laughter spilling lightly around the dim interior of the cell. Marishka was just an absolute delight, even if she was serious.

Leaning over, he whispered in her ear, echoing the seemingly nervous sentiments of their newest ally.]

Not them. But if anyone should try to stop us... well then...

[Conflict such as this was regrettable. But they'd called it upon their own heads by their actions, and Solomon was determined to be free. Glancing to Xemnas, he sighed.]

No portal? That figures... I suppose our escape would be anticlimactic otherwise.

[A little smile appeared on her lips as she looked around. In the dim light, she could see everything easily. And the excitement was stirring within her.]

We shall go now then.

Yes, lets.

[The human added with a nod o his head. It was clear they needed to get out as soon as possible]
