Who: Medrau, Amy, semi-open
What: Medrau's after the last Fallen World. Amy's job is to get it first.
Where: Land of Dragons
When: Saturday night
Notes: Just so you know, I won't stop anyone from joining in if you really wanted to follow Amy here.
Also I apologize for slowness. I seem to have no energy this week.

Medrau waited at the foot of the mountain path, humming a tune that wrote itself as it went. She'd been here for about a day now, just to be sure a sure someone didn't slip in ahead of her. She was pretty much certain the Fallen World stone was just up this mountain. She could feel its Darkness pulling at her, and it would have been simple enough to go up and get it herself, but this game with Awiergan was simply too great a temptation.

She still wasn't certain if it was her unwanted compatriot coming, or her inconvenient Other, but the latter would be just that much more fun. What she hadn't warned Awiergan, or known herself at the time, was that something else had been drawn in by the stone's miasma. If Awiergan didn't come to help, then Amy could serve as a needed distraction. Either way, Medrau had it all figured out.

At least, she liked to think so.

Seph stopped just in front of Medrau. She didn't appear to have any fight left in her and no space to flee.

That didn't mean he wasn't going to take the stone from her. He would... He just had no clue what he was going to do with it later.

He wasn't just going to leave her here either... So probably going to carry her. And he wouldn't be surprised if she bit him for that...

and must make sure Amy hasn't been eaten by a dragon.

Definitely going to need a drink.

Why hadn't he just taken her already? Surely the obvious thing to do would be to drag her back, stone and all, and lock her up in Rainbow's End until she let Song come out. At this point, Mabry's healing magic was starting to seem worth the failure.
Unless he had gone Sephiroth, in which case he might just take the rock and leave her. She didn't think that was the case, though. Sephiroth shouldn't have been this hesitant.

"Well... Seph?" The words came out heavy and breathless. She winced and curled in on herself a bit more before continuing. "Would it be easier for you... if I just gave you Song now? Let you... have fun... dealing with her in this state?"

The dragon had returned and was clawing at the magic in his way. Amy scowled, her fatigue starting to drain away as she pushed herself off of the wall. Grand. Freeze and Dodge all over again, but in a smaller space.

"Seph!" She yelled into the empty air. "Time to go already!"

She really hoped he could hear her somehow.

"It hardly matters. The destination will be the same. Leaving you to die would make things difficult for me." All the deadpan. He's had just about enough.

Relieving her of the stone and hauling her to go get Amy out is the next step.

After getting Amy the destination will be Rainbow's End.

She spared him a smirk. "Wouldn't it just?"

Vaguely, she weighed the pros and cons of trying to throw herself on his sword.

Instead, she passed out.

At least, that's how it appeared, only her appearance began to shift as soon as her eyes closed.
A beat passed... and Song let out a very confused whimper.

If Awiergan had been in charge, she would've been gone ages ago. As it was, she was getting tired of helping out. So it came as no surprise to Amy when Barrier began to weaken and change back to it's normal color. Swearing under her breath, she forced herself to hold it in place. Just a little longer, she was sure. Just a bit more and Seph would be back, and with Song, and they could get home without being eaten-

Okay, maybe she was being overly optimistic.

Seph put his word away and picked Song up.

"Be calm." Though he was failing miserably at using anything resembling a comforting tone.

A portal is opened to where Amy is. "Let's go."

Slowly, Song registered the generous amount of blood soaking her right side, and the very obvious fact that it was her own. At a complete loss, she simply gave up and curled tight against Seph.

Someone else could make sense of this mess and explain it to her later. Her brain adamantly refused to puzzle anything out just now.

"Oh thank you!" Amy darted into the portal, letting Barrier fall. "I could kiss you! Wait, no, definitely hug, but thanks."

From wanting to torch him to that in such a short time frame? Yep, she was weird. Her attention switched to Song immediately, and she almost freaked again. She did not like blood. Especially not this much. They were headed home, but she couldn't let Song suffer for even another few minutes. She was suddenly extremely grateful she'd learned Cure from Mabry. At least it was something.

"We're going home now, Mabry'll fix you right up." She cast the spell, then brushed a strand of hair away from Song's face. Between pushing her own limits and the blood, Amy was probably going to faint. Better to try and save it for home though; Seph didn't need the extra work.

Seph opened the portal to Rainbow's End in silence. He fully expected to be lectured for his actions once Song was taken care of.

And he would have to decide what to do with the stone. It was not something he was going to leave at Rainbow's End and he wasn't sure it could be destroyed safely.
