[Sirus]

Gregor nearly passed out from shock.

: "What in the...how did you all get here?"

[Furtuka]

At the top, Raquel was still waiting anxiously.  She started forward slightly. 

"Ah, Derick, are you OK?  I...I...here, hold still."  She balanced herself slightly by leaning against a wall as she lifted the staff she was using as a crutch, sending its restorative magic over the swordsman.  As the magic settled in, closing his wounds, she frowned slightly. 

"D...don't you ever worry me like that!"  She stepped forward, seizing him into a tight embrace, ignoring the soot and ash that smudged her own robes.  "Please, don't scare me like that ever again," she murmured softly.

"...!"

Derick slowly snapped out of shock and hugged her back.

"Alright, I won't. It's okay now see?

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris checked on everyone.

"I guess it's time to get out of here. Let's go, and leave Prixima behind us once and for all, shall we?"

The assassin waited for a few seconds, then started walking back down the stairs and outside.

[Culise]

"Thank you," she murmured in response.  After a long moment, Raquel finally let go of Derick and stepped back slightly, but not too far.  Her voice was bright and her smile genuine, as she looked from him to the stairs. 

"Everyone else has gone on ahead, it seems.  Charlotte and Captain Marpa said something about Prixima's study.  We should go there, too."  She giggled slightly.  "I almost forgot, but I did come here for a job."

[freeformschooler]

: "Thank goodness they're safe."

Charlotte snuck off into Prixima's study and looked for her books.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Gregor nearly passed out from shock.

: "What in the...how did you all get here?"

"Well, we killed a crap-ton of mercenaries that showed up just after you left. Then we rode here when Leo Kesselring showed up." Valor looked over at Mannan, who'd called his name. "Yeah, what is it?"

[Furtuka]

Derick went with Raquel and Charlotte to help with the books.

[Haspen]

@At study's door:

"No, it's... I was wondering how you got there." He nodded at Leo.

"Yes, we brought them here. Are any Dragonstones remaining? How about my mother's research?"

@In study:

Charlotte quickly found a journal of Prixima, nested between various treatrises and compendiums on magic and enchanting. Suddenly, the journal vibrated with foreboding crimson aura, which then shot Charlotte in the stomach!

"This is my final parting gift, you wretched worms!" The well-known voice of Prixima boomed in Charlotte's head - the voice disembodied and almost hissing with malice - as the pain overcame her knees and forced her to the floor. "Enjoy your pretty soldier as much as you can, because that's all your family will have!" Prixima's laughter echoed in Charlotte's head for a while before it was replaced with silence.

The journal, lying nearby, was on fire, the flames quickly consuming the numerous pages and years of magical research.

It was this moment when Raquel and Derick stepped inside and were first to see what happened in the study - others still talking outside the room.

[Furtuka]

"Oh no."

Derick ran over to Charlotte's side and tried to help her up.

"Gregor! Get in here now!"

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor looked at Leo. "What exactly are your plans for this research?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"If it isn't destroying it, we're going to have a problem."

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor just grinned a bit at Chris' response. Thank goodness for sensible people.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris nodded back to Valor in greeting.

"Good to see all of you again. For all my bravado earlier... I was pretty worried that we wouldn't."

[freeformschooler]

Charlotte pulled herself up by a wooden chair before the fire took it as well. She chose to say nothing about what happened. It's not important yet... right?

: "I'm fine, Derick. Raquel, see if you can salvage anything before all the books burn up. I feel can trust you with this research more than Tantallos or Riven."

[Xanmyral]

Salvatore smiled as he saw more of the others make it out of the ruins, exhaling a pent up breath of worry. The deed was done, the witch was slain, and everyone seemed to be fine.

The pink haired wyvern knight couldn't help but back up Valor and Chris, this isn't something that needs a chance to repeat. "All 'ese stones shoul' be smashed. Ta 'cause all o' this, all o' this sufferin'..." The man shook his head. "Best if'in 'ey jus' be gone."
