Celest continued pushing through the crowds with the first years, after Pieter had left. She was breathing heavily. People were screaming all around her. She looked around in horror, the Drow were everywhere, Celest thought breifly about Tehr. She couldnt see him, but he was there.
Celest spotted a slytherin boy, she had been in class with him once or twice, and she knew who it was as he was calling for Ryleigh...it was Peregrin...and if Tehr found him. She drew out her wand, and rushed over to Peregrin.
While she was running to him, people and Drow were causing a great traffic jam, and it was hard. Celest called out to him "Peregrin!PEREGRIN!" she finally managed to push her way through the crowed to him. She breathed heavily and panted " I-Kniw-Where-Ryleigh-is!" she clutched a stitch in her side. "You-have-to find her!" she stared at him.
Re: Rescue
Fire lashing aorund, surrounding him and without him being aware covering the students, the heat keeping the Drow back, the light blinding them in its intensity. Whips scored across Drow flesh, igniting them, their screams as they fell back, filled with pain, the suffering he had felt before accepting himself a year ago.
A dim calling of his name he ignored, sending another ball of fire soaring to explode on the armoured chest of antoher warrior, thrown back like a ragdoll, burning and screaming as he died.
It was only her name that caught his attention, whips lashing close to the drow he turned his head, eyes balzing a white hot rage, he caught Celestina with them, piecing together what she had said, tiny falmes sprouting from his cheeks, travelling up his face and sinking back into him.
Perfect control he killed the heat closest to her, a whip slashing across a warriors face he had seen from the corner of his eye. Hope seemed to pass through the raging blaze that was his eyes
"Ryleigh....where?" he asked quickly, flicking his wrist again and sending another fireball out to keep the drow at bay. Noting now that aside from a few students the rest were through the doors.
"Please....where is she?" he asked a little slower, voice ragged and rough, aggression coated words.

Re: Recue
((Celest, you're the tail of the students and errrr, the drow have like swords, sharp ones, which kill you in a flash. You'll have to scream.
Oh, I'm going to movie, so last post before then and could be last one for this day, but now leaving before every hell hound is dead.))
*Pieter had already killed 9 hounds, as they where closest to the tail, 11 where killed.
Pieter looked at the spot Peregrin should be and saw a blazing, white human like figure, killing nearly every creature that came to close. Victor was in a state in which he could supply a whole city of electricity, a thunder in the shape of a human.
Almost all students had gone through the gate, and Pieter formed the rearguard in the center, while Ali and Serena where trying to get everyone through the port, Pieter couldn't watch as the dark creatures came to close, most of the dogs had been able to evade Peregrin and Victor and where heading for them, while dodging the fire and electric shots, slowing them down.*
*Pieter took five arrows, hoping he would be able to gather enough strength from the adrenaline boast going through him. ((it's possible, I saw it)) He aimed and let go. Hoping the arrows would search for the dark hounds. Six of them where doomed because of his sudden luck. Four ended their live on the spot, while one arrow had gone through the legs of two animals running besides each other...*

*Alfred, clawed hands spred wide slammed into the lines of charging Drow, knowing Teak had beaten him to the elf masses the Gargoyle began to make up for lost time. Massive hands slashing left and right, feeling bone shatter and sinew tear under his blows which ripped through armour like it was paper.
Swords, slashing weapons bouncing from his stone form, unable to be hurt by these Drow Alfred literally began to rip rend and tear the tiny elves to pieces. Awash with blood which ran from his smooth body, a rivering torrent down his arms.
His awareness extended to watch those doors and prepare to fall back as soon as the last student had got through them.*

Re: Recue
Emma looked at the Drow who approached the door the quickest. There were at least ten of them in a huddle and they were advancing quickly. She looked around for Serena or Ali, or even Peregrin. She spotted Peregrin, she swallowed hard as she remembered Ryleigh. He would have no trouble getting to her. The front line of the Drow coming near drew out a whip, Emma's head snapped back to the Drow infront of her. She looked quickly to her side and raised a heavy boulder. The boulder came crashing into the lead elf. It smashed it down to the ground with a sickening crunch, Emma knew she had killed it.
She turned and hurried closer to the doors, ignoring that her head was burning and bleeding from her fall and she wiped her hand against her head as she ran. She reached the door and looked behind her, she was safe, at least for now, but some other students weren't. She wasn't seriously hurt, she felt she needed to help students get to the doors as quickly as possible. She ran to the nearest group of students who were behind a hellhound, they looked terrified. Emma thought they looked like they were mostly first years. She shook her head as another boulder shot into the hellhound's head. It turned its head around and snapped its jaws at Emma.
" Run towards the doors, where the gargolye is!" Emma directed the students as she blocked off the hellhound and ran with them. When they were back at the doors Emma waited, and the Drow still advanced.

Re: Recue
Ali continued ushering students through the doors, almost positive all were through until she saw Emma and several first years. She performed a spell similar to Pieter's and a bow appeared in her hand and an endless supply of arrows on her back. She quickly drew one, firing it at the hell hound advancing on Emma. It was caught in the chest and howled with pain as it writhed and squirmed on the ground.
"EMMA! RUN!" Ali yelled, making sure she was through the door before turning and running after the group of students; turning and firing a several more arrows every few feet, picking off Drow warriors.
((correct me if i'm wrong, but i think carm did somethin' so the doors evaporated....))

Re: Recue
Serena, with the small girl still on her back, contnuted running behind the students trying to get them to the tunnel. "Just keep going, the tunnel's straight ahead you're almost there!"
The tired battered students continuted running towards the entrance of the Chamber. Serena was looking behind her every once and awhile. She knew the Drow would be after them. She saw Ali trying to kill some Drow with a bow and arrow. "Be careful Ali," she screamed behind her. She faced the student's again. "Keep running you're almost there!" She would worry about the Drow later, she had to make sure the students were safe first.

Re: Recue
Drow warriors surged around the doors, pressing hard to get through, to kill those that fought against them. Blinded by the lights of fire and electricity, armour conducting the power from Victor several got close before the viscious gargoyle dropped in close to the young elementalist. Claws ripping apart those that got close to him and to getting through.
Hell hounds dropped by the powerful enchantments on the arrows of Pieter. Warriors pushed hard, driving to the young archer who unleashed a barrage of arrows and suddenly found himself face to face with a pair of fighters, swords drawn and already swinging for the boy.
Seeing the warriors inability to hurt the gargoyles the wizards gathered together, joining efforts to cast against the stone killers.
Warriors driven back, trying to dart into the flaming Peregrins guard, his control and rage to intense as flames blinded and lashed at them, virtually an impassable barrier. The Hydra shook its head from the girls rock, trained for dozens of years now it knew what to attack, training overcoming its fear as it continued its slithering charge, altering course and heading for the blazing fires that were killing so many of its masters.

Re: Recue
*Tomal Saichairi finally finished the spell he had been casting at the Hydra, his mind working in strange ways as he desired to keep this beast as a prize, they were rare and very good to have hanging around.
Several feet in front of the hydra a ripple in matter occured, a small ball of light curling around itself. Parallel to the ground two long lines shot from the centerpiece, slicing the very air, within seconds it was as wide as the hydra, the lines rotated clockwise, carving a gouging hole through the earth, suddenly stopping now perpendicular before shooting out, a large rectangle drawing through the ground. Unable to stop itself in time the Hydra charged straight into the gateway, disappearing from the Chamber of Secrets and indeed, from this country to a place of his choosing where it could stay until he had time to deal with the creature he had just captured.
Tomal nodded to himself, bringing his staff down and sealing the gateway he had cast. Looking around to see very few kids now left in the chamber. Too late he saw Pieter, too eager with his bow he had not seen the drow warriors closing.*
"ALFRED" he shouted, the gargoyle turning and leaping
*Too late as a sword sliced across his leg, biting deep he fell crying out in pain. The killing blow stopped as stone claws ripped into armour clad chests. Throwing corspes to the ground Alfred turned again, bounding at a Drow that had got through. Tomal snapped his fingers, a student helping Pieter upright and dragging him away and out of the chamber.*
"WE'RE CLEAR" he shouted ducking through the door with the last of the captive kids.

Re: Recue
(*muwahahahahah's merrily*))
Teak had been protecting the students when Alfred flew into the massive crowd, her blood glistening claws slashing and scraping against purple skin, shrill screams, howls and cut off chocking noises filled her pointed ears as she continued to kill any inhuman thing that neared her.
Slowly, once the students had made their way through the doors, Teak shot off the ground a powerful jump, her figure rising quickly and falling slowly as her large stone wings unfurled, moving quickly and with the speed of a Thunderbird, Teak lunged into the crowd Alfred was slowly diminishing.
Rock meeting rock, Teak clattered onto the floor, her sharpened curved beak opened slightly she let off a slow grinding growl as she set herself on all fours, walking smoothly through the fighting Dark Elves, ignoring them totally as they mercilessly tried to attack her, snapping at one every now and then telling them to back off.
They were not her problem any longer, the spell throwing Mages before her were.
Getting on her hind legs Teak let off a sharp resounding wail that rocked the ground she stood on.
All 19 mages turning to face her, hands extended preparing to hit her with all they've got, only a mutter or two being let off as she lunged on the first one, her large claw ripping into its chest, a low crunching noise being let go as she entered his rib cage,snatching her hand back out letting air seep through his now open insides.
The muttering next to Teak stopped, another short blade clanged arcoss her wings as her shining head turned slowly to face the other mages.
She bared her jagged teeth and let off that hard scream and watched in morbid glee as they all fought over each other to get away. Without much though Teak lunged on another taking is back out with one force-filled movement, moving to the next with equal fluid movement, her intention only being there wont be a mage left by the time she is done.

((didn't know about the hydra, oh and I am a skilled archer, in real live and I roleplayed I am in character, don't know if I could shoot three arrows at a time and hit the target, but I thought the hounds where awfully close and well, luck is always at your side if you need it, in my experience anyways(*remembers some exam he had to have high grades to pass on math.*)))
*Pieter was relieved the hounds where gone, as they where the closest threat. But there where still more then 200 dark elves attacking trying to pass the two gargoyles and two elementalists, many died trying, but several succeeded. In comparison with their original number, not many, but still enough to kill the precious lives of in training wizard, who where weakened, only a few able to fight.
Pieter saw everyone had gone through the door, he was relieved, but then realized the door was no obstacle for the elves and the hydra.
Yet he stood before the gate, killing drows, as his overprized arrows run out and he would have to take his refuge to normal ones. Less deadly, dangerous if they would come too close.
Suddenly he heard Tomal scream, only a nanosecond later he felt a sharp pain in his leg. Alfred before him, killing the creature. He fell on his knees, he took his bow and banished it to it's place together with several enchanted arrows, as someone took him away.*
"NO, I CAN HEAL IT, THEY CAN'T GO THROUGH THAT GATE. RYLEIGH IS STILL THERE, I HEARD CELEST SAY!!!"

Re: Recue
((::thanks Merlin she is stuck in a tent:: ))
Ryleigh had fallen asleep in her curled ball in the back of Tehrs tent, the only thing waking her was the shove that she got from the outside of it rolling back onto her sore wrist she screamed and stood clumsily.
"What the @#%$!" She yelled, frustrated, inside the empty tent.
As she calmed down, she heard the clanging of blades and the roaring of creatures, blinking to herself and with a raised eyebrow she made her way to the tent flap wondering where the guards had gone, getting half way out of it - which was easy now that Celest was no longer chaing there with her.
"Oh my god..." She muttered, her breath catching in her chest, her eyes going wide on the scene. In shock she stumbled back into the Tent landing on her backside, she scambled back against a tent wall breathing very heavily now.
"A res...a rescue." She muttered swallowing slightly.
Running her hands over her dirty face and through her matted hair, Ryleigh sighed trying to compose herself.
"Okay, you are going to get rescued." She told herself, crawling now on all fours to the tent flap again, peeking out her iced eyed narrowing at the horrific scene.
All the drow near the center of the chamber, an empty slave pen, two gargoyles ripping everything in sight to shreds, the Hydra she'd seen only once disappearing into oblivion, masses of arrows being launched, heavy flames being let off from the direction of the exit.
"Flames?" She asked herself blinking. Her heart lifted, he was here, she knew that, she felt it.
"Peregrin." She breathed. "Pere...!" She stopped, if they'd heard her say his name, they would go straight for him, so instead she backed off back into her tent, closing the flap and waited perched on Tehrs cot.
"He'll find me..." She assured herself. "Even if they don't."

Re: Recue
Victor had taken down his share of warriors. Peregrin was taking most, and those few that managed to escape became Victor's targets. He never saw the few that attacked Pieter, but when he glanced back, he saw the Gargoyle guarding them.
He immediately focused on what Pieter was yelling. Ryleigh was somewhere further in the chamber. Victor looked forward and saw that Peregrin was slowly progressing, taking out warriors left and right. He turned quickly and yelled to the older students who had come along, "PROTECT THE STUDENTS, WE HAVE TO PUSH FORWARD" then an idea crossed Victor's mind. His eyes narrowed and he yelled again "STAND BACK" while the students moved back, he raised his hands and released a large amount of electricity. It looked like it was going to head straight into the kids, a large majority moving back out of fear, but it stopped about 10 ft. in front of them, and formed a net. One Drow that was nearby touched it out of curiousity and was instantly fried, which was a good demonstration for the students not to touch it.
Victor turned back around and headed for Peregrin. When he reached his side he said "They are safe back there, lets move forward........and find Ryleigh" he added quickly. Then he turned and fired off a few bolts, dropping a couple warriors.

Rescue
Celest looked around nervously, then she looked back to Peregrin. "Tehr had us both chained up in his tent!" she said bitterly "She is still in there!" she pointed in the direction of Tehrs tent "You must get her out of there! If not.." she thought back to Tehrs words "Look..if no one saves her, and somehow Tehr ends up dieng, she will be killed! And she will probably be killed anyway..even if Tehr isnt dead! Go there! Now!" she panted, and turned away "I have to go! Be off!" and with out a backward glance she ran off, narrowly avoiding whips, and swords.
Re: Rescue
Peregrin turned back to Celest, eyes burning a terrible white rage, hearing her words as Victor headed over, eyes locking on the tents direction, seeing the distance, close to 200 warriors between him and it.
Flame rippling from his face, skin a brillaint gold, power coursing through his veins, every neerve burning, his whips still driving the drow back and away from him.
"I owe you." he shouted after her, he owed her a debt he would repay someday...Turning to victor his head shaking, black hair flying around him as he spun, a fireball blasting another warrior back.
"You would only die Victor. Go, help the others." He turned from his friend...this was his and his alone to do....and he had a plan as he spotted the magically altered flames close to a cluster of tents, feeling the small object in his tightly zipped pocket and hpoing his guess was right...knowing it didn't matter if it wasn't...he would still do this
Hands lifting up together, singling out a single drow warrior trying to dart past...blue flames ripped from his palms, a blast of heat washing over those close to him as he unleashed his rage totally...his task now that he knew it was clear to him...the doors could be left alone.
The drow screaming fell to the ground...his armour fusing together with the blast, melting to him, Hopping once Peregrin launched himself forward, diving into the fires of the Drow...they licked up around him, becoming one with him as he disappeared from sight and from this plane of existence.
((yesh i gots permission for this, an a plan *thumbs up cheesily* but tis' only workable for me *nids* an i is hopin the Drow are all busily dying at this end of the chamber.))

Re: Rescue
Victor nodded at his friend, whipsering "Good luck" once Peregrin dived into the flame. Victor then ran back to his net, opening a gap for Celest to get through. He then turned back and faced the chamber, all that was left was Peregrin, Ryleigh, him, and the adults. He stood guard, knowing he could allow no drow to pass this point, no drow to get after the students that they rescued. Not that some didn't try still. Their screams sounded thorughout the chamber, joining the screams of many other drow. Since most of the forces were busy dealing with the stronger attackers, only a few wandered Victor's way. This just meant he had all the more time to torture them, make them pay for taking his classmates. They suffered now, instead of the instant death he was dealing out before. After those few were dead, Victor stood in front of his net, hoping Peregrin was alright, and praying that this fight would soon be over.
(ok so I figure that since all the students are gone, Vic can be a little ruthless and get away with it :P)
