As I reached the entrance, I unfolded my wings, making sure they hadn't gotten wet along the way. It seems like I took too many precautions...(like running around the lake instead of going through it, incase there was a creature in the lake)...Better safe than dead, I guess. I saw three chests, with the right one being approached by someone. I also saw someone standing about 10 feet away. So this is the person following me. Too many people will make things difficult. I'll probably just go back the other way if this continues. Patting my pocket to make sure the fur was still there (and dry. another reason I went around the lake), I stood by the entrance, but a safe distance away, incase there was something bad inside the chest or a trap was activated.

@InnocentWings,
Shhh I'm trying to out-draw Bandy! x-x"
Ok Ok I'll just finish this one picture and post . Gimme a few lol

A pair of strong emotional spikes hit Bandaid as the male qitari processed her request - a moment of disbelief from both of the qitaries, followed by embarassment from one and glee from the other. Helios flushed deeply beneath his fur as it began to stand on end, his ears laying back in true equine fashion as he quivered.

"BAHAHAHAHA--" Terra burst out, howling with laughter as she clutched her sides, going as far as to actually land so she could collapse and be extremely dramatic with her laughter.

While not getting so far as actually rolling on the ground in her laughter, Terra did end up on hoof-hands and knees, pounding the ground with a clenched hoof. "Oh, that's a good one, young lady! Kudos to you for having the guts to ask!"

The embarassment radiating from Helios was replaced with anger as his companion howled, leaving Bandaid with a slightly bewildered look. She could sense the emotions changing since she didn't have her mental shields up the whole way anymore, but for the life of her couldn't figure out why rage of all things was what Helios was feeling.

"NO! I REFUSE!", the male qitari shouted, a hint of a higher pitch as if shrieking carried behind his voice. Terra's howls of laughter got louder as Helios began to lose control. A bright white light spread from his horn, enveloping his entire body and fading to reveal him in his pure Qitari form. Charging at Bandaid, his horn still glowing brightly, he used his magic to throw her onto his back and then leapt into the sky, soaring over the island without wings.

However, he neglected to use his magic to KEEP Bandaid on his back, and she slid backwards and off, gripping his tail to keep from simply falling as she was pulled along, the translucent sash attached to her bracelets billowing out to keep her gliding.

This was followed shortly by a green flash where they had been, and Terra flying through the sky behind them in the same manner, still howling with laughter so hard she was crying.

Helios came to a landing near the base of a mountain range as Terra caught up with him. Bandaid let go of his tail, tucked herself down, and rolled to a stop. A pair of caves were just in front of them, and a seething Helios blocked any reasonable path away. Terra appeared to still be laughing too hard to communicate with, as well, so she probably couldn't ask Terra where she would be taking her and request a ride.

Next to one cave, the vegetation seemed to be dried out - and perhaps a little scorched - while next to the other, the vegetation closest to the entrance seemed to have a slight coating of frost on it. Guess this means one of these is probably really hot, and the other is probably really cold. I kind of wish I could notice temperature changes before they got to where they'd take me out. Bandaid straightened up, brushing bits of debris off of her clothing and out of her hair from her tumble. She walked over to the entrance of the one that should be cold - frost rimed every surface. Sparkly. The air was fairly dry, as well, at least here. Turning, she examined the other entrance, the one that should be hot. A blast of incredibly dry (and presumably hot) air gusted out, and it looked fairly dark. Darkness at least meant that it wasn't hot enough to be melting the rocks close by, which would usually spell instant death for most beings. Then again, he might want me to go in thinking it's safer than facing him... he is pretty angry, and I don't know that this is where he planned to take me before he was angry.

Bandaid turned from the cave's entrance and walked a bit away - the entrances here were partway up a very steep mountainside, and the flattish space wasn't very large. The drop-off was pretty steep except for where Helios stood, twitching and glaring with his horn lowered, pawing the ground with a hoof. It looked like the ground wasn't particularly stable either up or down - either direction could potentially cause a rockslide, though at least heading down she could roll with it until she hit the forest... or a gully. It looked like there might even be a canyon down there, too. On the plus side, she probably wouldn't get buried by the slide downhill since she wouldn't be outpacing the rocks themselves.

Speaking of rockslides - if Terra didn't stop howling soon, she might manage to trigger an avalanche here. Then again, if she hadn't triggered one yet, that might mean that the ground was more stable than it looked.

Taking a breath to compose herself properly, Bandaid turned to look at the qitaries. It was time to play with a technicality. It was still within the rules.
"As I merely asked if I would be able to ride piggy-back, but never stated that I was, indeed, traveling with either of you... I should not be here. Miss Terra, I wish to accept your offer for a ride, as I am rather curious to see the area you have in mind for me - particularly as I appear to have amused you so."

Chi blew her hair out of her eyes, staring at the 'camera', where everyone watched her.
"Right, so, Crappy, Dramatic, Drawings aside, I choose Left. Now Watch me shake my rear on down that tunnel and hope I don't end up killed!" And she slumped her way on down the left tunnel.

@Lunarstorm,
@Luxordz,
@Rose,
@Chidori,
@Starfall2466,
@BandaidMcHealerson,
@Isa,



As Lunarstorm headed for the first chest, both Luxordz and Rose stayed near the entrance for their safety. However, a pink Bulbori zoomed inside and landed by Luxordz and Rose. The pair blinked at the Bulbori and his rider; Star.

BOOM!! There was an explosion and to everyone's horror, the entrance had collapsed! InnocentWings appeared in front of the trio, dressed in turquoise with black accents as well as teal/turquoise vines/flowers Herbalist dress. In her hair stood a pair of navy blue and teal flowers. Dark green and gray-blue Enchanted Wings flapped softly behind her. The elf smiled softly at the trio. Her soft smile seemed to have very wicked tint to it.

"I am afraid that you cannot leave. I have such an interesting plan for everyone....I cannot afford for it to be ruined.....You must choose a chest. You all cannot choose one together. Two of you must either pair up and choose a chest or split up. Star, Rose and Luxordz, this is your choice. Choose wisely......The Middle and Left are all that is left......Or one of you can partner up with LunarStorm....." With a mischevious twinkle of brown eyes and small soft smile, she vanishes.

{{LunarStorm does not need to post for this round.}}


As Isa took the route leading up, he stumbled around for quite a while before he stumbled out into the light. To his confusion, there were two ziplines. To his left is an Orange zipline and to his right is a Blue zipline. Isa must choose between the two. Which will it be?

There was a very dramatic moment as Chidori made her decision for Left. Left is always right and Right is always wrong?

WRONG!!!

KA-BOOM! BANG! KAPAW! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

A bright explosion rang out through the tunnels. The tunnels shook mercilessly. Then sheer darkness and pure silence.

Well, that was rather brutual but quick death. This is the end of your escape, Chidori. However, you may still continue to draw art of what happens to others in here if you desire to enter the raffle.


Hearing Bandaid's request to Terra, Helios saw red and bent over. Pointy tip glistened in the sunlight as smoke came out of his nose. Terra saw his rage and aim to gore Bandaid with his horn. The Earth Unicorn acted quickly and ran to toss Bandaid onto her back. She quickly leaped into air as Helios ran at the spot where Bandaid was. Once they were few good feet away, Terra shifted into her humanized form and shifted Bandaid so she sat more comfortably on Terra's back.

"Is that better, Bandaid?" she asked her.
"We have better be on the way" she added and sped off to her choice of paths for Bandaid. After fifteen minutes of travelling, they arrived at another cave. Terra giggled as they landed and entered the cave. With a snap of her hooves, the entrance slammed shut. Terra looked at Bandaid and gestured to the three slides up ahead.

"You must choose a path now. I cannot provide any more help from here on" she giggles out.
"There are three slides. You must choose one of them. Choose wisely!"

Up ahead stood indeed three slides. To left is a Pink slide. To right is a Yellow slide. In the middle is a Blue slide. Which color will Bandaid choose?

Not saying anything I pull out the flowers I had picked up earlier and give them to the elf, figuring at least she could use them for something. with that done I quickly turn to my choices, I go to the right, standing about 3 feet behind Lunarstorm figuring that that would at least be enough to confirm my choice of chests. Plus if the chest exploded she'd likely take most of the blast, and in case of a trap door I would likely be at it's edge and thus be able to save myself and perhaps even her.

((Unknown when I'll be able to respond again - my monitor just crapped out on me and will likely need replacing. It may look like I'm online because that computer is still on since I don't want to quit stuff without a chance to save, but I'm really not.

This was the last stage of artings I had uploaded, and I had just finished lineart and started in on colouring Terra when the monitor went.))

Isa looked back, faintly hearing loud commotion and then turned to be met with two colored ziplines. One of a rustic orange and the other of a dark ocean blue. He stared at the two lines. Only one would mean his safety if he had to guess correctly. He sighed, his natural tendancy wanting to go with the blue line yet wondering if that was the plan all along. Looking at the orange line, he nodded slowly and....took the Blue line.

@Rose,
@Starfall2466,
@BandaidMcHealerson,

You three still need to post. I know Bandaid is having problems with her monitor so I can wait for her reply. Rose's PMed me but she haven't made her choice yet.

Both Rose and Star are inside the cave and needs to choose either Left or Middle together or seperately. Bandaid needs to choose which slide. Good luck, guys!

@Starfall,

See the post above, please. /did not know you had removed the numbers from username/
