The gigantic ball of energy came crashing down upon the bridge and Keyra's throat clenched tightly. That wasn't really what she had asked for, but she supposed it was far better than the alternative. The only problem then was that the bridge they'd just traversed was -as far as she knew- their only way back up to the surface.
Foregoing that problem for the moment, she focused all her energy on getting to safety before she too found herself falling down into the darkness with nothing to stop her. It was a cold death down there, one that she didn't wish to meet so soon. She watched as Dravon swung around, launching his leg into a sharp kick at the door, and falling inside with Sevral right next to him. They all piled into that room, and she was the last to follow.
The Val woman just barely made it to the doorway as the rest of the bridge crumbled away. Her wings pumped hard to keep her balance as she could feel the stone right beneath her hill chip away. Her hand snatched the frame of the doorway and hauled herself inside to safety. Turning around, her heart pounding heavily and her golden hawk like eyes nearly engulfed entirely by the black of her pupils, she eyed the perilous drop that was mere inches from her. She shook once, her wings snapping open and then coming back to fold against her shoulders tightly.
Reaching back, she gently tapped the hilt of her giant sword as her body began to calm from the moment of danger. Dravon sat upon the floor with a heavy sigh. Looking up, his gaze swept them all as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Next time we see that guardsman.. remind me to hit him.." he said and to this Keyra smirked.
“I believe the Captain probably already has that covered,” Sevral commented lightly to which the Val actually emitted a short laugh.
Shaking her head a bit, she crossed her arms over her chest as she took in the room that they'd entered. It looked to be like some sort of storage room. However, it's contents were very neglected and much of it seemed to have withered away to dust, no longer what it once was. She watched as Sevral moved to a broken box of dust and reached down to touch it. As he examined it, she examined him. He was very particular about how he moved and looked at things. Keyra wondered briefly what it was he'd concluded about the strange dust as he pulled out a vial and took some of it.
It wasn't until he went to the staircase that she noticed it as well. Curious, she moved over to it as he tested the steps and then pulled away.
“Well. That was fun.” he said, his voice rather calm.
Keyra glanced over to him, an eyebrow arching, "Fun?" she repeated. Her head fell forward as she laughed again. Reaching out, she braced herself on the wall and leaned forward to look up the stair case, "You've an interesting definition of fun, Sevral," she said to him softly, a grin still on her lips. Despite it though, she had to admit, it
had been rather exhilarating just a moment before. It had been a while since her heart pounded so hard.
“Wasn’t any great hulking beast, but it was certainly unexpected. What now, Captain?”Turning around, Keyra glanced over to their leader who was still seated upon the floor. She hadn't seen anything but more stairs leading upwards. Also... seeing as it was their only way up...
"Since our only route out of here has been destroyed," she glanced over to Elruin, but had to admit that it had probably been the right decision at the time, "Up is the only course of action."
