Zet stopped a good distance away from the others, with Kerret catching up a few moments later. "They seem to be doing fine to me," the drow said flatly, looking at Kerret through the blindfold. Kerret ran his hand through his hair nervously. "But that has to be Dali over there," he protested. "He still has a lot to learn, even after graduating," Zet shrugged. "You can't really be serious! The students are no match for him!" Kerret replied in a strangled whisper, not wanting to be heard by either the students, Dali, or the odd shadow beast that seemed unconscious from the students' attacks. "You'd be surprised Kerret Garretway," Zet paused as Kerret flinched at his own name. He did that sometimes, though Zet didn't really know or care why. "You'd be surprised what unexpected things students can do." And Zet leaned against a wall and watched them, and that was that.

Cecils' anguish continued to increase as he knew that he couldn't save them. He couldn't even save his mother. His wound was nothing compared to the hurt that has been caged up for all these years of being alone. The power that he felt, faded away like the dreams of little kids thinking of what they'd like to be when they grow up. Cecils' eyes gave a stare to his dear friend Shana, who still looked like she was knocked out. The pain racked all over Cecil's body. "Get... out of here.... Dali," the words Cecil spoke were stern, and unshaken by pain and by fear. Dali ignored Cecil's threating words and continued on with his own focus in mind: the elven girl. His glowing eyes moved not even an inch from their original spot. "I'm- I'm not fighting for me this time Dali," Cecil said. His body shook as he got up; though every movement he made was like dying over and over again, Cecil pressed on towards him without anything but his dagger to defend himself with. " This time, it's for my friends." Of course, many would know by now that Dali was unphased by this comment; but hearing the remark Cecil gave him, this time it was the older brother that stopped dead in his tracks. For Dali himself knew that this could be the moment Cecil possibly had the power to kill him. But, his plan would have to wait once more. The next time, he would have someone to help him finish off this plan. For the first time, Dali started running. As he left, he looked Zet and Kerret in the eyes. Cecil ran off to chase after Dali and fell into the dry, tan dirt.

Kerret watched Dali run off and seemed to be very surprised. "You were right... kind of," he admitted. Zet shrugged. "Should we chase after Dali then?" "It doesn't really concern us. By now, he's off of school grounds, so it's none of our business." Kerret shook his head and half-ran over to Ithilwen, his earnest blue eyes concerned. "Are you alright?!" he asked. His eyes quickly trailed over the bunch of students, hoping they hadn't been harmed too badly. Zet continued to walk and crouched down besides Cecil, looking over the child through his blindfold.

".....Zet?" Cecil asked, now trying to put aside his pain and get up. Although his mind was processing the past few hours, Cecil couldn't help but think about Shana, and if she was going to be alright. Cecil squinted his eyes and he clenched his teeth together while he turned to get up. Cecil looked at Shana's body, and he knew his promise was not kept like he said. "...Is- is she going to be alright?" he asked the teacher, hoping for the nodded 'yes' answer. Cecil could only think about what he had planned to give Shana later that day. He reached into his pocket gripping something inside. But knowing he wouldn't be able to now, Cecil took his hand out of his pocket that had tons of dark, dust and dirt covering the pants he was wearing. Cecil jerked, to see Shana. Angelus was hurt as well, and Ithilwen was alright, but Cecil was more worried for his friend lying on the ground then anyone else.

"Kerret..." Zet said, ignoring Kerret's momentary flinch. Kerret seemed to know what he wanted and nodded. "Gimme a second," he said, taking a step up onto the empty air and then another before sitting down on nothing, both hands firmly on whatever was holding him up. He seemed to be concentrating very hard. Zet returned his attention to Cecil, then to Shana, then to Cecil, and then to everyone around with an overly calm attitude. Finally he sighed, taking off his blindfold to reveal bright, unnaturally yellow irises on eyes that appeared perfectly capable of seeing. Stuffing the blindfold in his pocket, he looked sternly at Cecil before finally rolling his eyes. "My second non-drow student seems to be more trouble than all of them put together," he murmured more or less to himself, still in that totally uncaring turn of voice.

"That bad eh?" Cecil mumbled, thinking of what Shana would yell at him for this time round. A slight smile was given off from Cecil to Shana. Cecil stood up, a little weak, but enough to walk back to the dorms or somewhere along those lines. Cecil looked at his hands, giving a angry look. He tightly made two fists, and stepped over to her. He stooped down, opened her hand, and put a small envelope in it. After doing so, and also going much beyond his usual self, Cecil got up and sat in front of the cave.

"Stay here," Zet said flatly, dragging Cecil closer to the group by the collar roughly, but not unkindly. Kerret finally seemed to finish whatever he was doing, and he stood up on the empty air. "White Wind," he called, and a blast that seemed like a tornado filled the room, creating tiny pockets of air around the injured students. Their wounds closed up and healed completely, and the air currents died down. Kerret hopped down from his invisible platform, looking tired but happy. "Please don't tell me you guys still want to go into the cave," he said, looking at all of them nervously.

Cecil fixed his shirt collar from getting tugged on. He felt the wound in his back was healed, as were his hand gashes and a few other minor cuts as well. But the only thing unhealed, was his severely fractured wrist. He could hear his older teachers voices, reminding him on what not to do, and then some of what his father said to him once. But at least he knew he held off some of the damage that could have been conflicted to all of them. Cecil had forgot about his wrist entirely up until Dali threw him to the ground. A sneering pain felt like it oozed from his wrist, but nothing was actually there. Cecil scrunched his knees closer to his body as he took out some bandages and wrapped his wrist up. Cecil didn't attempt to move it after that. Cecil had some odd moments lately; and what exactly happened during that time was a little hazy. However, he finally began to feel back to normal again. Being alone. Being alone with all the time in the world. "He wouldn't just leave- or run away from anyone so sudden..... unless he had bigger and more damaging plans to arise later." Cecil thought, giving himself a reason to keep going until his reason for living as long as he has, was fulfilled: Killing Dali. The crimson color in Cecil's eyes returned, but just as Cecil was about to leave, he suddenly hesitated and stayed where he was. "So. Is she going to be okay or not?" Cecil asked Zet, or if he didn't answer, the other teacher. Cecil put his one hand behind his head.

Ithilwen stood straight and tall, regaining her composure as she smoothed back a few stray strands of silver hair that had gone askew from the fight. She shut her eyes for a moment and felt as the narrow, slitted pupils of her eyes dialated back to normal and reopened her icy orbs. She looked around at the damage and concluded that everyone was to be fine- nothing permanent. She inhaled deeply, brushing off some dust from her clothes.
"Kerret. I had not expected to see you again, although, I must admit, it is quite a pleasant surprise." A small smile graced her lips in a friendly manner at her instructor. She then addressed both of the teachers at once. "We are thankful for your aid. The run-in we just experienced was..."- she searched for the right word for a brief moment before continuing-"- unplanned... and I believe it is time we head back instead of venturing any further."
She then turned to stare in the direction that Dali had fled, seeing neither hide nor hair of the boy as she approached her half-cousin. In an overly calm voice, she placed a hand on his shoulder and asked, "Will you be alright?"

Cecil lifted his head from the grainy textured sight he'd been looking at for what felt like the longest ten minutes ever. Shutting his eyes to gain back his focus, the darkness filled his vision until he couldn't see a thing. "Depends," he replied, opening his crimson colored eyes. He looked back down to the ground and nodded. Cecil's eyes were heavy; for he had lost a large amount of strength during the unsuspected arrival of his older brother. "-for the most part though, I'm fine." with that, Cecil put his head back, hoping to gain a few minutes worth of sleep. ((~ Dream~)) ".... weak....." (echos) "...you did your best Cecil..... its great!" "...I'm sure he wouldn't mind... just this once......" "....pathetic little brother....." "What?! What the hell?!" Red blood was all over his hands and all over the wood floor. He looked around him and recognized that it was his home from long ago. His parents and his brother towered over his body when.... ((~end of dream~)) Cecil flashed his eyes open immediately, as if he had really been in that house. His breathing was heavy, and his back was arched and Cecil's head was hanging over his knees.

Zet nodded to both Ithilwen and Cecil before walking away. Kerret smiled at her and stuck behind with the students however, especially poking Angelus who seemed... unmoving. "I'm sorry, but the school doesn't usually have extremely dangerous wanted murders around," he said, running a hand through his hair. "I'd say you guys handled it pretty well though."

Oddly enough, the sound of Kerret and Zet's voices comforted him. After that bizzar dream, he need the relief. "Thank you." Shana said giving Cecil a hug. Cecil nearly died, he didn't expect that to happen; and with the dream..... he was a little jittery. "No problem." he replied with a sigh. His glowing eyes subsided and reutrned to their original color. He looked to the teachers. "What can we do now? Since we can't go back in the cave and all...." he asked.

Ithilwen seemed to be off in her own thoughts as she answered Cecil while staring back towards the entrance of the cave. She said slowly, "I'm...not sure." She closed her eyes for a moment to gather herself and to snap herself out of her daydream. She then looked at everyone and sighed. "But I do believe getting out of the cave would be a start."

The cold, hardened, crimson eyes stared at the sky for a moment; and then stared straight forward. Cecil then looked for his dagger. He got up and went into the cave again, seeing the purple glow and put it into his pocket. As he started to walk out, he noticed something. Something very odd. He turned his glance from the pause of looking at the large buldge that was attached to the cavern wall. Cecil's jet black hair fell into his eyes as a gust of wind pushed in their direction. " I don't have enough strength after all this. Ithilwen and I were less harmed than Angelus and Shana. But STILL don't get it! Why would Dali wanted Ithilwen so badly?" he thought, still a bit frightened from the odd vision he had.
