Theta: he hears his name get called and starts to panic. How long had he been under here? He kicks with his legs and pushes up with his hands but the rocks don't budge. "Winter!"

Cinder: he curls up on a rock pile he made and watches the himan try to find her friend. ' you should hurry he does not have much time left.'

Winter nods at the dragon tries to pull herself up. Her left arm hurts horribly and she renders it useless for the moment. Her legs are a bit shaky, but if she leans against the wall, she can walk rather easily. "Theta! Calm down. If you try to get yourself out, you will be crushed even more. She drops to her knees by the pile and starts heaving the rocks away one by one.

Yuri blinks and sees Kage standing over her. He climbs off of her and she stands up. "Sorry," she says, but it's to thin air. Kage had flown over to a girl with white hair who was moving a pile of rocks away. Kage begins to help her, heaving the rocks away. Yuri climbs over the rock piles toward them. She skirts around the side of the dragon.

Demon: he stands a little ways in front of Kage. He wants to run to the cat and tell him that he is not dead but he waits for the cat to see him first.

Kage hurls an especially big rock away and hears a crashing noise. He winces and turns to see what damage he did. The rock had crashed through a window but he didn't notice because he saw Demon standing there. "Demon! You're alive?"

Theta: he stops kicking and moving.

Winter heaves another piece of rubble of the pile, slicing her hand on a piece of glass. She wipes the blood on her shirt and continues on, mindful of the shards of glass.

Yuri grabs a rock and wordlessly joins the strange girl with white hair. She yelps in surprise when she sees a foot sticking out of the rubble. The girl across from her glances at the foot and digs through the rubble with renewed vigour. Her blood spots the rocks, but she ignores it.

Kage runs up to the horse and nuzzled his shoulder.

Demon: 'i chose the right path i guess.'

Theta: he sticks a hand through a hole in the rocks, only to get it smashed. "ow!"

Cinder: he walks over to the human and with a swipe of his hand clears away a large chunk of the rocks.

Winter tugs at a small black rock, but it is extremely heavy for its size. Try as she might, she can't tug it away. She begins to dig away the rocks under it and it rolls off the pile. It's not a rock. It's a box. She makes a mental note to open it later. "Thank you." she says to the dragon and continued dig.

"I'm glad," says Kage sitting back. "How was the underworld?"

Cinder: 'the names Cinder.'

Demon: 'what do you mean? i did not go to the under world. i was on a road and chose to go right then ended up in the woods.'

Theta: he tries to pull his hand free but cant.

(How deeply is he buried?)

Winter finally is able to unpin Theta's hand. and begins to dig around it, following his hand to his wrist and then to his arm.

"Interesting. So how'd you know what path it was?" Kage asked.
