Regroup

Biting his lip as he felt his blood leaving his veins. Julian would allow himself to suffer through it as Myst hungrily lapped up the blood. Her injuries beginning to heal to a degree.

Looking around the cavern he now say in. He looked at the hundreds of bug corpses. Along with the singular corpse of a skinny white humanoid figure. There was surely enough damage done.

Pulling away from his arm. Myst would take in a deep breath. Giving Julian a small blood filled smile. Which oddly enough for Julian. Was a arousing look. Shaking that thought out of his head. He'd help Myst to her feet. Allowing himself to be used as a balance.

"Feeling better?" He would ask the worry more than evident in his voice.

"Yeah...much better now that I've had a drink" she would say in a low tone. "Sorry if I took too much. "

Her vision clearer now. She would see the immense bruising Julian was covered in. And the blood he as well was covered in. Sniffing, she could tell that he wasn't covered entirely in his own.

"Seems we both got pretty messed up didn't we?" Myst would say leaning against him. Feeling the warmth that his body gave off. It was soothing. Much more than she wanted to admit.

"Yeah. Boris fucked me up. "He would chuckle rubbing the back of his head wincing.

Though if what Boris had said was true. He had died. But he couldn't recall it. For that matter he couldn't recall anything after he had went unconscious.

"You okay?" Myst would ask looking into his eyes. Seeing the empty look his eyes usually held when he began delving into his thoughts.

Snapping back to reality. He would take in a deep breath before looking to Myst once more. "Guess my brain is still a bit rattled from the beating I took. Sorry." Julian would say telling a partial truth. "By the way. Where is Aurella and Maurice?"

That was the question that had been locked on his mind. He needed to know that they succeeded. If not. There would be hell to pay against those who dare hurt his sister.

"Aurella, Maurice and another girl ran off deeper into the cave system. I had stayed behind to handle the demon" Myst would answer. "Although. Aurella recently unlocked her magic. And I have to tell you. She is a prodigy"

Those words instantly sobered him up. "Aurella can use magic? Since when?" Julian would question.

"Since now"

That was news to him. Last he had seen. She could barely conjure a whisper of a flame. And now she's able to use it like a master?

"Are we sure we are talking about the same Aurella here?" Julian would ask struggling to come to terms with the information Myst was giving him.

"Yes I am Julian. There is no other Aurella that I know about." Myst would say with a slightly annoyed tone. She understood the shock value that he had hearing about what his sister was suddenly capable of. But it was nowhere near as shock for her who witnessed it. Witnessed the raw power that she was capable of. Even if it were for a short burst. It was enough to leave Myst stumped. Stumped with the fact that if she accessed those very powers earlier in life. Just how strong that girl would have been by now. How much she could've simply wiped the floor with Boris and the Demon before there was even a thought. It was something that terrified her. Even when she put two and two together.

"She's just down this hall isn't she?" Julian would ask beginning to walk with Myst under his arm.

"Yeah. I don't know how far they got. But they went down this way." She would say in response gritting her teeth as pain continued to shoot through her body even with the blood she's consumed.

Maurice had spent several minutes soothing Aurella as best as she could. Even taking the time to cover the piles of bones with enough darkness to allow them temporarily. Luna had gained enough energy to be up and moving once more.

"Is the Aurella gonna be okay?" Luna would ask worry littering her child like voice. As she knelt next to them, gently patting Aurella's back.

"Yeah...as soon as the shock factor lowers, she'll be calming down. Especially when we get out of this situation. Which from the looks of that door. means we are close to getting out of here, just gotta knock." She would speak in response looking to Luna with a frown. "So why were you down here anyway?"

"Oh! That is simple! The Luna's caretaker Mr. X dropped her off nearby the big tall mansion. And when the Luna got to the door. She came face to face with that big mean muscle man. Who grabbed her along with Aurella. And then the Luna ended up here with you and her." Luna would explain simply. Which to Maurice, sounded very much like she was at the right place at the wrong time. Poor girl getting dragged into this situation. It was a miracle alone that she and Myst arrived when they did. Or else she would've been dead by now.

"Well glad we managed to help you out as well Luna. By the way did this Mister X person bring you here for a reason?" Maurice would ask curious as to the reason of her arrival.

"So that the Luna could join up with the good peoples like you and Aurella!" Luna would say with a big painted smile on her face.

"So you were brought here with the intention of joining our coven?" Maurice would question.

"Yup!"

After what happened with Boris. Maurice wasn't too sure if Julius would even consider allowing the girl to become apart of their coven. Especially without a test. But that was to be seen.

"I would vouch for her." Aurella would say through a shaky breath. Finally managing to have calmed herself down a degree. It wasn't much but it was enough to have her in a semi-working condition. And that was all she needed. As she looked up the Maurice who seemed to have a surprise glint in her eyes.
