Raven rummaged through the bag blindly. "No, no, no, what is that doing in here, no... Ah, here it is!" He pulled out the torch, attempting to turn it on. "Uniqua, it could be worse! Remember that! It can always get worse!" She did sound very panicked. "Calm down, we'll figure a way out." The torch flickered once, then shone. It wasn't as bright as it could be, but it was better than before.
"Hey hey hey, look at me Uniqua I will ensure that you and the others get out of her okay? Even if it means me getting left behind I wouldn't mind as long as you are safe," says Rashall looking Uniqua in the eyes so that she knows that he means it.
Uniqua could barely see him, but his eyes were clearly visible. "Okay, but still, we need to work together to get out. And I won't leave without you. Friends are there for each other, remember?" Uniqua says just as sternly.
"Alright I'll stick with you, though I really hope my wing heals up quickly," says Rashall looking at his injured wing he could see the light that the other pony had and wondered how long that would last.
"Okay, we have some light now." Raven turned around, looking for Rashall and Uniqua with the torchlight. He eventually found them and walked over. "Alright, so, any ideas on where Stella is?"
Uniqua cringed at the sudden light. "Well, now that I can see I might be able to find her." Uniqua says, lightly stretching. She starts to move, but stops and adds "Don't judge me." Closing her eyes, she suddenly begins to repeat everything the four ponies had said. As she said the words, her head turned in the direction they had come from. She then went silent as she began to say some of the things Stella had said. Opening her eyes, she began to walk forward. "Follow me."
Rashall executes a quick back step wondering what this "Thing" was as he also crouches down to avoid it should it be flying.
Uniqua is lifted up almost as if she's flying. She doesn't even struggle before calling out "I know your weaknesses! You can't get to me this time!"
"What in the name of Sigmar is that thing?!" Shouts Rashall before noticing that Uniqua was caught by it, he curses himself for not running forwards to her aid and for his wing being broken. "Uniqua what are you planning on doing!?" He shouts up to her.
She goes to answer but whatever has her lets loose a growl. "You will come to me, young one. By the stars in the night sky and the grass in the ground, you are MINE!!" Uniqua just yells out "I said, I'm NOT yours!!" She slams her hoof forward. An audible splashing sound is heard, and she drops to the ground. The creature roars out, but then all is quiet. Uniqua stands there, panting, her mane and tail a frazzled mess.
Rashall runs up to Uniqua wondering what the heck just happened. "Uniqua are you alright," says Rashall looking the pink mare up and down as good as he can in the darkness.
Raven quickly caught up, realising that he'd been left behind. He reopened the bag and pulled the medical tape out, giving it to Rashall. "Use it wisely!" He found his way over to Uniqua, shining the torch on her. "You alright? What the hay was that thing, and what did you do to it?"
"Let her rest right now, you think you can find Stella and bring her here?" asks Rashall hoping Uniqua was alright.
"Uh, no. No I can't. If Uniqua was leading us in the direction Stella was and we found that thing in the way, there's no way I'm going to be able to find her." Raven continued to search the bag, throwing out things that definitely would have no use.
Uniqua tries to stand up, but only falls back down. She decides to just tell them what that creature was. "That was a Reaper. They bring death wherever they go, and gain power by killing. That one was after me because I escaped it before."
