Ava staggered into the room with the four paths. She saw her comrade Solara sitting beside Saria tending to Ky. Solara had her wounds wrapped up and she appeared annoyed. She turned her head when she heard Ava stumbling over. Solara scrambled to her feet as she caught Ava who fell into her arms.
"Ava, what happened?" Solara questioned as she made a gesture with her hand to conjure up a small cloud of dust. It spread across Ava's stab wound which made the bleeding stop.
"Tae...gan betrayed everyone. He sealed Vesryn in a prison cube and killed..." Ava trailed off as Solara had fumes of heat faintly rising off her body. Ky glanced over as he could be heard wheezing.
"You need to get out of here and take Ava to see a healer." Ky said as winced in pain causing Saria to lay her hand on him gently. Solara glanced back at Ky with a confused look on her face.
"Shouldn't we be taking you as well?" Solara questioned as Ky tried to sit up but couldn't. He sighed as he laid back down. Saria was silent as she looked at Ky with a look of uncertainty in her eyes.
"Your magic helped enough to allow me to live but I don't have the strength to move much right now. I'd only be hindering your escape so go." Ky said as he watched Solara picking Ava up.
"Glad you're willing to admit that. Saria let's get going." Solara said as she looked at Saria who was still sitting by Ky. She shook her head but stopped when Ky touched her hand.
"You need to go." Ky said as Saria looked conflicted. She was unsure of what to do and that was clear.
"I'm not going to leave you, not when you think I had something to do with this. Which is my fault since I asked you to come." Saria said with a tone of guilt and shame as Ky slightly grinned as he held up the necklace she gave him earlier. Saria looked at it confused as he held it up.
"I'll hold onto this until we meet again...now go before the ship gets stolen." Ky said, holding her necklace while she stood unwavering.
"Damn it, Saria, leave him be and let's go. He's asking you to leave so respect the man's wishes!" Solara yelled as Saria sighed as she caressed Ky's cheek.
"Please, don't die and I have to make things up to you." Saria said as she got up while Ky began to watch her walk away. He grunts in pain as he struggles to roll over. Ky knew he'd probably die anyway but he refused to have it end like this. Even though he didn't want to, he knew getting to Vesryn was the only way Saria would be able to make it to the ship safely.
