I don't always break the fourth wall... But when I do. I beat the living sh*t out of it. XD

She lets out an anxious sigh and looks up at him. "... N-Now what...?" She asks nervously.

He shrugged. "I don't know." He looked back towards Cinaed. The volcano's glow cast a brilliant, fiery light against the smog filled sky. "I think I'll head back."

"... Alright. Then I'll head back too..." She shifted forms once again and stretched her wings out.

Kieran shifted forms, shaking his head and snorting out a cloud of flame and smoke. With a powerful downward beat, he launched into the air, beating the air some more as he rose up before he gained some momentum and really began to rise. He flew off back to the ridge.

Alice followed suit, staying close to her brother.

The tanks rolled over the hill, having gone down from the slopes of the volcano to the Ashlands. Here they would rendezvous with another shipment to head off to their destination. But Enethar was there for a different reason. As soon as the tanks stopped, he checked for signs of guards, then picked up Alice and pulled her out of the tank, hurrying off to the shadows before they were seen. He set her down, leaning her against a boulder.

Alice was breathing heavily at the time they arrived. Her skin was nearly a paper white color, making her lips stick out and look like she applied way too much red lipstick on. She was cold all around, yet her head was on fire and throbbing in pain. She luckily hadn't hurled yet, but she was about to because of the ungodly pain. She glanced around from place to place, only to see blurs in her sight.

Enethar looked back, not happy that they were still in sight of the convoy. He scooped her up in his arms again, carrying her like a baby as he took them further out and into the ashlands. He counted till at least five minutes had past. It was five minutes too far. They were cutting it very, very close. He set her on the ground again and whipped out his knife. He cut away the fabric from the spot where the needle had pierced her. Then he set the knife against her skin, cutting open a wider wound to expose the blood and flesh below. He flipped the blade around and stabbed it into his stomach, twisting the blade around. He felt his form rippling again, but he held on as much as possible, determined to make this work. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he burst into flames and became a phoenix again. The fire colored bird hovered over her a moment, blood soaking its belly an legs. He landed next to her shoulder and let his own pain overwhelm him, bringing tears to his eyes. A phoenix's tears are healing, and he let them fall over her wound. The magic in them spread through her whole body, destroying the poison and repairing all the damage, along with anything and everything else that was wrong. Every scar, bruise, blemish: everything, healed and reformed to utter perfection. She was perfectly glowing with renewed radiance. Then Enethar stepped away and crumpled in on himself, twisting and burning and bursting apart as he reverted to human form again. He slumped against a blackened log, breathing heavily.

Alice gasped in alarm and shot up from the ground, panting in alarm and then looking at Enethar, seeing him there after doing all of that for her. She slowly got up and raced to his side. "Enethar... Are you hurt?... I really need to repay you for what you did..." She said, placing a hand on his shoulder and looking at him for a wound of sorts that she could tend to. She felt kind of bad now that she managed to get hit by a poisoned needle and now Enethar nearly killed himself to save her life in return.

"I can manage, master," he said lowly, grabbing onto the rock behind him. He scrabbled around for a good handhold before gripping it tight and pulling himself up to his feet. He held his side with one hand and held out the other to help her up. "We need to move. It's a long way on foot."

Alice gave a worried look at Enethar for a moment, then took his hand and with his help, got up. "... It sure is..." She said looking out across the horizon. She glanced down at the ground, then turned back to where Cinaed was in the very distance. She wondered if her brothers were going to be ok.

Enethar was looking forward rather than back. Gritting his teeth, he made the first of many determined steps towards the direction of Thuringar. If they would lucky, they could get far enough out of sight to start flying.

Alice followed, sticking close to him and worrying about his condition since he did stab himself. "Enethar... Will you be ok? Are you sure you don't need to rest and tend to the wounds on you...?" She asked, seeing how he walked.

"I will be fine, master," he insisted. "I have suffered far worse than this before." Though he did not disclose that such injuries had been received under watchful eyes and in more controlled settings. Still, he had the will to survive. He had surpassed expectation enough by just living this long from all that happened before and during his life at North Town. If that was not a testament to his ability, he hardly fathomed what could be.

"... Ok..." She said with a nervous sigh, walking at a same pace with him. Alice still didn't feel like they were going to be ok for awhile. The encounter with the assassin made her even more nervous and on edge than ever.
