The Terror Through The Wall [E]

"...What?"

Darkness. All she could see was darkness. All she could feel was emptiness. All she could hear was silence. Descending down, down, down, deep into the pits of the unknown. Such feelings and anxiety, and fear where not foreign to the young female, in fact they were once a commonplace for her. To think that Nina would be greeted with the same sense of helplessness, the sense of falling, that she left this village to escape was ironic.

Nina, however, had no idea of her location, or what events were transpiring around her. War. There were no memories for Nina to recall on during her long descent down the ventilation shaft. No matter how hard she tried, only fragments of fragments of fragments could be attained. If was as if the memories were right in front of her, yet a thousand yards away. Lost in a trance as she fell, she didn't know when, or if she would stop, or whether or not she would live or die. Helplessness. It was a feeling she wasn't very fond of.

Then, a peaking light pierced her eyes, causing the pupils to contract and pull in response. That light gave her hope. She could finally recuperate, as it signified the end of the darkness. Nina had only a few seconds time to react accordingly, postioning herself for a graceful, less impactful landing on the ground before her.

Landing in crouched position, she raised her head and body up, squinting slightly, as her eyes where still adjusting to the deluge of lights assualting her. Eventually, clarity of sight and mind graced over Nina, allowing her to take in the strange, almost familar surroundings in an instant. Was she really where she thought she was?

She noticed three things in her observations. The plethora of weapons and armaments laying around the room, signifying it was most likely an armory of sorts, an unindentified male acting extremely foolishly, 2 meters from where she stood, and finally, a girl, 6 meters from where Nina stood, standing in the middle of an unnatural hole holding an unsheathed sword. That wall, blown straight open, with that girl, that girl with the red eyes and raven hair, standing next to it as fresh dust swirled around in the air... could it be? These three things would have Nina's head in a tailspin, and in turn she asked a rather foolish question.

"Where am I...?" Like any one would answer.

Still dazed and confused was Nina, her eyes wandering off throughout the space, though not aimlessly. She was looking for more clues, clues to reaffirm he suspicions. Was this home? It was much to surreal for Nina to handle.

A third, and equally as clumsy male would arrive through the pipe that Nina and the other young man had just traveled through. This one, a tad younger and all the more immature than the first, slandered Nina's name with claims to her sanity. Wrinkling her knose, she went along looking around. She glanced down at the child locking eyes with her a short moment. A small, barely noticeable smile portrayed her true innocence, while acting as a catalyst for the smile that crossed Nina's face. Though Nina knew nothing about the young girl, she felt a connection towards her, like she understood some aspect of her life.

Disturbing the peace was the strong, sporadic vibrations that had seemed to crescendo ever since Nina had arrived here. Though not a concern of Nina until now, she became greatly disturbed. Butterflies filled her stomach as she felt an ominous presence, as if death had just brushed with her. Little did she know that these were more than just feelings, but accurate prophecies of the events to come.

Putrid stenches filled the air, and coupled with the mighty roars and rumbling Nina heard was enough to somewhat overload her senses. A huge creature, draconian in nature, stood over the the red eyed girl, now turned around facing the beast. Within seconds, it had snatched up the girl in it's gaping maw.

"Help Me."

Piercing words that took Nina's heart by storm. The girl, that girl she had just connected with, was now calling to her for help. She needed a saviour, and Nina couldn't possibly live with herself knowing she let her down.

The beast now turned around and beginning it's descent into the darkness directly behind it was leaving it's gaurd completely down. Instinctively, when the beast began to flee, so did Nina. Rather flee is not the correct word for the oranged haired kunoichi's action, she was approaching, no chasing the beast now through the darkness from the very moment it began to run. From step one she began to form two handseals, birth a three foot curved sword composed of crystalline beauty onto her forearm. As she sprinted towards the beast in increasing earnest, she would notice the young male^Larvayne chasing down the beast aswell. Hopefully he would be of some use for the safe extraction of the young, seemingly helpless girl.
