“O-oh…e-erm…” Siglos, realizing he wasn't helping, took a few, shaky steps back, moving behind Sylvia as he watched Jeanne press her palm against the ground.

"An underground city..."Trying his hardest, Erebus could peer into the most shallow depths of the structure... something was definitely standing beneath them, a large, monolithic structure as big as the city of Aegis itself. But beyond its size, no finer details could be made out.
"So that's them..." he muttered, "Right on time...""Charlotte..." Shalor warned his allies as quietly as he could
The armored Rakshashin nods as he moves along with the group, keeping track of their surroundings as he takes silent footsteps."....." Jeanne let out a breath, shaking her head. She removed her hand from the ground, and then she spoke, "This fire is fickle... the rift I burned into the ground won't last. We need to move fast. Now."
Siglos slowly nodded, tightening his grip against his mate's fingers. He let out a deep, shaky breath, forcing himself to calm down as much as he could."...Right." Sylvia nodded, "That's enough time wasted, though. Let's jump in before somebody sees us. Hold onto me as tight as you can- Alright?"
"W-wai-!" Siglos exclaimed, barely having time to process before his mate pulled him into the darkness. His free arm flailed behind him, the Everian resisting the urge to close his eyes as they plummeted into the unknown."There's no way to lead, it's literally a hole. Jump in to it." Sylvia said, her grip against Siglos tightening. She hopped into the chasm Jeanne had created, and as she went Siglos was dragged with her into the darkness.
"Wai- Oh, for the love of the Goddess..." Jeanne let out a sigh, curling into a tight ball as she cannon-balled into the chasm.
"Idiots." Cain said blankly, simply stepping forward and letting herself fall straight-down.
"Yes, i fine, what about you Jeanne?"(I'm going to assume the rest of you goobers also jumped in.)
As the rest of them jumped into the hole, they would find scarce light within it, as the hole that Jeanne had created swiftly sealed up... sealing them off from the outside. For now, the only thing left to them were themselves, the sound of wind, and the blackness.
"Is everyone alright!?" Jeanne shouted, her voice echoing.
"Y-yeah I...I t-think!" Siglos called out. His body clung tightly to Sylvia's arm, the larger woman likely absorbing the brunt of the impact of the fall, if she didn't use her wings to negate it. He concentrated for a moment, before telekinetically opening his bag....a large, spherical shape emerging from the fabric, made of translucent glass. It hovered there for a moment...before slowly brightening, creating a small light source that would illuminate their surroundings.(I'm going to assume the rest of you goobers also jumped in.)

(Duine was in Cain's shadow.)(I'm going to assume the rest of you goobers also jumped in.)

Erebus was falling as he remained silent."Long enough." Kargath said, Twisting in mid-air to make himself more aerodynamic and fall faster
It was true to say the least, but he had thoughts in his mind to use the tools he had gathered."That's vague, but also fair..." Sylvia said, "We could use this time to strategize?"
"They probably already know we're here. Any plan we come up with will be heard." Cain grunted
"Pure class, lass! Pure class!" Duine responded, giving a thumbs up before ducking back into the darkness. This location here, this was her element: darkness."Uh, I'm alright, Ms. Shadow Lady!"
"Cain will be fine. I can carry Jeanne, though..." Sylvia nodded, her tail extending outward towards Jeanne, noticing Noah had already taken care of Shalor. Before Jeanne could respond or protest, the tail would wrap tightly around her waist, pulling her over to Sylvia and right next to Siglos."U-uh...Sylvia, c-can you...c-carry them to the ground!? I...d-don't believe Jeanne or Shalor c-can fly..." Siglos said wearily, watching the rapidly growing light.
"...Or Cain...I suppose..." Siglos murmered. He wasn't really worried about her, nor Kargath or Erebus, assuming them to be too strong for a simple fall to do much harm. He himself could always fall back on his enchanted boots to soften his landing, so that fall was, ironically, one of the least of his concerns.
Erebus smiled at seeing the group work together like this under his helmet, reminiscing the past— even for a little— as they reminded him of the people he used to know."Cain will be fine. I can carry Jeanne, though..." Sylvia nodded, her tail extending outward towards Jeanne, noticing Noah had already taken care of Shalor. Before Jeanne could respond or protest, the tail would wrap tightly around her waist, pulling her over to Sylvia and right next to Siglos.
"Uh... thank you?" Jeanne said awkwardly as they were on the precipice of hitting the ground in a few moments time...
"Erm... I'm not the one you should be worried about..." Shalor murmured, referring to the massive mass of muscle that was Kargath Bladefist, who flipped around to land feet-firstNoah stepped forward, she flew to Shalor's side and with little difficulty grabbed him to break his fall.
"well, we don't want to attract attention, better not make noise when we get to the ground"
"Not sure if i can lift him" Noah said with doubt in her voice since Kargath seemed to be heavy, maybe Slyvia could do that."Erm... I'm not the one you should be worried about..." Shalor murmured, referring to the massive mass of muscle that was Kargath Bladefist, who flipped around to land feet-first
