Estrik's hand receded back from the tiger before it had a chance to make him literally less of a person. He jumped back towards Crow and Angelus. Estrik cleared his mind and delved into one of the smaller lizards. What was in their was not the lizards itself, but it seemed like someone, or something, was giving orders telepathically to the lizards.
"Something's controlling these lizards and making more while we fight. Just blindly fighting won't help, we need to find whoever is doing this," Estrik said. He began darting deeper into the forest, following the 'psychic trail' left by the telepathy. "Let's GO!" he yelled back to Crow and Angelus.

Crow turned and pulled his rapier out again. Then, he pulled the staff off his back. Crow became into full battle form. He looked around, then ran after Estrik. They Needed a way to keep the tiger and other attackers occupied. Crow almost laughed to himself, then realized what he could do. He pulled off his chain necklace and held it up in the air. A few trees were heard falling, and then a fairly aged tree was knocked clean over as the Varg of light entered the seen. Many small creatures ran when it's massive paw made a deep print in the earth. It stood in front of the tiger, taunting it with it's paw.
Crow was a bit tired from the summon, but he had done it many times before. He chased after Estrik, asking "Do you want me to use the Kiwi orb still?"

Angelus relaxed his muscles and turned away from the lizards, running behind Estrik and Crow.

"I think he's got it," he said, referring to the varg that Crow had just summoned. They had ran deep into the forest, some of the insects that were as big as Estrik's forearm were now as big as his whole arm, Hope we don't have to fight those too, he said to himself. The more they ran, the stronger the signal became. The underbrush was getting thicker and thicker the more their sprint progressed, Estrik had to jump over them, not doing so and he would have tripped over it. The signal was strong, but it still felt faraway, like the lights were on but no one was home. He just hoped they would find whatever was controlling the lizards soon.

As Estrik ran the ground fell out beneath him, an old lava passageway- where the volcano is, who knows... but there was a green light further down the tunnel, as well as what sounded like the laughter of some little girl, the beating of wings and then the screeching of the lizard creatures.
"Heeellllpppp!!!!" came the pleas of some small boy down the tunnel as well, hopefully it was Satonaro's grandson if anything. It would be advised that Crow and Angelus jump down the sinkhole as well and follow the little blind child. (A.K.A. Estrik... lol)

((Blast that nickname for Estrik Li-Wa, BLAST IT! XD))
Estrik fell down into the cavern, completely unaware of what had just happened. He felt the signal stronger now than it was above ground; he made sure his staff was still in the holder on his back, and sure enough, it was. He began running down the passageway, following nothing but the signal and the cries of what was probably Satonaro's grandson.
Why didn't I use this before? he asked himself, while giving a mental smack on the head to himself before pulling out his prize from the Karaoke Booth. He made the amulet send out an air shield, knowing that whatever was down here, it would reflect that acid the lizards have, and slow down whatever else to a point where he could respond, and hopefully, counterattack. He didn't think that the sound of wings flapping were just some fruit flies.

Crow stopped as Estrik fell down into the whole. He looked around, tempted to go down into the hole. He watched as the Varg controlled everything he needed to stay above ground for, so he motioned to Angelus and jumped in. He didn't necessarily motion for Angelus to follow, but just to do what his mind tells him. He jumped down, and held out the Kiwi orb. It lit as if he was about to summon Kiwi's but went out when Crow commanded it to. He had gotten a look at his surroundings, and all he needed now was his instincts, and his sword. He pulled it out, and pointed it down the tunnel. It pulled toward the end, suggesting there was danger or enemy's near the end.
If anything was to attack, his sword would know first.

Angelus followed Crow down the tunnel. He used his command over wind to slow his fall so that he glided to a slow stop at the bottom. Estrik stood only a few feet ahead of him. Angelus till held both halves of his staff. He directed them so that they were perpendicular to his body. He quickly began to scan the room with his eyes and pointed his swords in various directions, making sure nothing was about to jump out and attack.

At the end of the passageway there seemed to be a cage which had been crafted purely from green magic, glowing around a child who appeared to be perhaps nine years of age. His hair was messy, bits of mud and plant life stuck here and there in the scraggles of brown and his green eyes looked towards Estrik and the group, "Help! I'm trapped!" He called. He didn't get too near the bars of magic, he obviously knew already that trying to go through them would be futile.
A small creature hovered next to the cage, perhaps two feet tall in height with clear wings upon it's back, eyes large and omniscent black. It's skin a deep, darkened hue of blue as it looked at the intruders, "What is it that you want?" it spokein a scratchy, wretched voice as it's lips curled vilely with each syllable and it hovered in it's place, large, bulbous eyes glaring at the intruders. The strange, dark pixie seemed to already had known what the group's intentions were from the look in it's eyes so why it had bothered to ask was unknown. It dipped down slightly as it made flight towards the group of three, inspecting them carefully.
(Yes Brandon, it's a pixie... human-like, it's been making the lizards with magic, prefers flying to walking on it's two legs, and it obviously lives alone.)

"Well, we just came here on a job to find the boy you have in that cage over there," He said, pointing his staff to the green cage, his staff pointed in such a way that it was parallel to the floor. He didn't want to give out any more information than that, if the pixie could read minds, then not saying or saying wouldn't really matter, as a precaution, Estrik cleared his mind, focusing on one object even while speaking, making a hopefully impervious mental shield while they bargained for the boy. "Now, is there anyway we can get him back?"

Crow walked beside Estrik, putting his weapons away. He seemed not of a threat, but he had not let his guard down at all.
(( err writers block, just trying to keep up with the RP ))

"A sacrifice must be made- you may not have the boy unless you supply a worthy human." She seethed, floating there in front of the group, obviously it wasn't planning on giving up it's find all too soon as her large black eyes narrowed at the group, it wasn't going to attack just yet...
The boy looked towards the group with the knowlege that he was going to be freed, his eyes showed how grateful he was... it then became a wonder how he'd managed to get down here. Stupid kid.

"O... Well, sorry Estrik!" Crow said Prodding him in the back with his sword. He smiled, then turned to the woman. "So, sure they're is nothing else you would take instead of a useless blind kid?"

Worthy...worthy Angelus thought to himself. He glanced around the group going from Crow to Estrik. Crow was a brave warrior, but Estrik had been the one who had been leading the group this whole way so their must be a certain "worthy" quality in him.
"Sorry Estrik. The leader is usually the most worthy so you will probably be the one."
