[Zelos awoke with a start when he realized he was no longer in his nice warm bed. He sits up, glancing around him. It almost seemed like he was in the forest, but it wasn't quite right. It was far too quiet and the snow seemed to sparkle too much...in fact it didn't seem to feel cold at all despite that he was only the white pants and sleeveless black top he had worn to bed. ]

Where...

[...Was he? Great. Had he been kidnapped or something? He remembered what happened to Yuan at the beginning of summer and quickly checks to see if he's armed- only the small dagger he had strapped to his leg under his pants]

[Wonderful. It was better than nothing, but still wasn't a whole lot. He heaves out a sigh before speaking quite loudly]

Gee, I sure hope there's no one out there to ambush and kill me, cause that'd sure suck.

[He cringes a little as he feels the crackle of electricity breeze past him. That was close. ]

We can't just outrun it in a straight flight! Maybe if we try going back into the woods it'll be too difficult to follow!

[Because yeah, you can guess what it's doing]

[not_mafia]

[Zelos has a point, but Tsuna's really not sure if he can pull off that sort of maneuverability in the forest, especially with Zelos holding on. He's been practicing some back at the castle, but...

Well, they don't have much of a choice.

So he lets out a blast of flames behind them and one in front of them, propelling them downwards and into the forest while the one in front clears some space for them to get in. He then does his best to maneuver through the trees, and at least he manages not to slam into any trunks, but a lot of branches are broken while they fly, and they cut against their skin and clothes.]

Ugh...!

[He grits his teeth through the pain and turns sharply, hoping to throw the dragon off track.]

[wilder]

[It does seem to be slowing the dragon down! No longer can it see them clearly since the canopy does well to cover them. You can hear it overhead, roaring with frustration and attempting to find them]

[Zelos is definitely feeling the pain of the branches, since ow crystal branches HURT. Why must his plans always end with him in pain?]

Just keep going, it might give up soon.

[Really wishes he could help more, but you know, that kinda requires not clinging to a shonen rocket pack]

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna's breathing pretty hard at this point because he was already in hyper mode for awhile before the fight, and now he just expended a whole ton of energy and it is sure taking its toll on him. It's reflecting in his actions too; they're hitting more and more branches.

When he realizes the noise might attract the attention of the dragon and they've put themselves a decent distance away from it, he drops to the ground, though he doesn't have nearly enough energy to manage a proper landing and they completely wipe out, tumbling on the ground until they're buffered by a tree trunk none too lightly.

Tsuna grimaces and pants, looking up for the dragon.]

[wilder]

[Zelos however when he saw the tumbling coming, opted to let got of Tsuna and roll his own way against the ground. His reflexes allow him to stop sooner instead of having a nasty fall like Tsuna and he sits up, definitely scratched up and bruised but no worse for wear]

Tsuna! You okay?

[Definitely looking at you with concern to see if you're okay. The dragon meanwhile is circling in the sky, but can't seem to spot them!]

[not_mafia]

[He nods, because he's honestly out of breath from flying around like that. He bites his lower lip when he sees the dragon, and looks around when he sees a small crystalline cave among the trees.]

There! [If the dragon has a hard time spotting them in the forest, it won't be able to see them at all there. He starts to heave himself to a stand when he widens his eyes, shutting them tightly and giving a sudden pained noise as he grabs at his arm.

Damn. Did he break it on that fall?]

[wilder]

[He was about to move towards the cave when he hears the pained noise and looks back. Crap. He sucks in a breath, really hoping it's not broken]

[He walks over, putting a hand on the kid's back to support him]

C'mon, I'll look at it in the cave.

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna winces and nods, heading over to the cave. It's a tight fit, but they'll manage it.

He practically collapses against the wall once they get there, and the flame on his head finally dies out.

That was definitely a strain on him, and now his head is pounding from all the energy he had to expend. It felt like he just ran without stopping for a couple miles. Or days.

And he cradles his arm beside him as he looks out of the cave, hoping that the dragon's finally gone away.]

[wilder]

[Zelos meanwhile makes sure to move to the spot closer to the cave entrance, blocking Tsuna from view just in case that dragon does find them. ]

[Once he's done glancing out of the entrance, he'll turn back to Tsuna and start trying to look at that arm]

You really saved us back there.

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna grimaces as Zelos handles his arm. Yep, it's definitely been broken. Only in one place, thankfully.]

H-hey, don't mention it. I only did what I could.

[He huffs, leaning his head back against the wall and closing his eyes. He's exhausted.]

[wilder]

Yeah, yeah. It was still good.

[Whatever he was trying to pay you a compliment. But once he feels he has a spot on the break, he'll start concentrating with healing- glowing and all that stuff. It wont' be a complete heal, he's not Raine, but it will definitely help a lot]

[not_mafia]

Thanks.

[He's finally seeming to catch his breath, though who knows if he'll manage to keep consciousness long.]

I'm beginning to think this might be a large-scale illusion. My hyper intuition's supposed to be able to see through illusions, but... maybe this one is just on such a completely different level that I wasn't able to sense it.

[wilder]

I don't know if it's one or not, castle can play all kinds of tricks. But whatever it is, it's proven it can inflict damage - so it doesn't matter that much.

[not_mafia]

Yeah.

[He narrows his eyes.]

Damn... I used up way too much energy. [Food has suddenly become a much, much bigger problem.]

[wilder]

You gonna be alright?

[not_mafia]

Yeah, I'm just... worried... about...

[And he's out.]

[wilder]

[....Oh that can't be good. Zelos is gonna stare for a long moment, wondering wtf he's supposed to do here]
