"Thestral, messenger of the Great Gods." Thestral looked down upon the Hybrid. "It is wise if you do not try to create any more disdain between the two of us." "I understand and agree, but I have my doubts. Can you prove to me that you are indeed Thestral?" Sawtooth replied, intrigued yet skeptical. (The guy has the right to be suspicious, you know. Any sane person would be.)

"Alright and fine." Isaac sighs out. "So, what's 'step one' to getting through all of this? And we should be quick."

Thestral showed his true appearance: Grey skin with a tar like substance coming off of his back; bat-like wings adorned his back and stretched a wingspan of fourteen feet. "Here is what you may see of I, Thestral." Thestral's teeth were like fangs, his hair curled and black. "Follow me, there is an entrance to the Deadzone Emperor Decem is trying to unearth."

"Well...that's something." Isaac nods. "But there's an actual entrance to the Deadzone? I thought you had to die for it?"

"As you say." Sawtooth replied, standing up straight. "Out of curiosity, what happened to the princess? What hit her?"

"There's an entrance that Emperor Decem wishes to dig up." Thestral said. "Only the Great Gods can open it, along with I." Turning to Sawtooth, Thestral explained everything that happened. "We must go, now! Time is of the essence. However, this form of mine is only seen by you and we can not go to the portal via magic. We must travel by land."

"How far is it?" Isaac asks. "Cause I can get some horses and enough provisions I suppose. Or should we leave immediately?"

How long will this journey take?" Sawtooth asked. "If we are allowed to bring items, are there certain ones we cannot take?"

"We will go along with a cart that will be transporting prisoners." Thestral said, leading the two men out of the arena. Looking desperately around, Thestral found the cart they would need. "Sir! We are with the Southern Command Guard, my large compatriot and I. This man here is a prisoner we're going to be taking down to the Mines." The cart driver's eyes began to glow green for a split second, before he shook his head. "Right... Prisoner, into the back with you. Large guy, if you can run, run fast. Sir, sit up here."

Isaac got in the cart quickly, not wanting to end up being treated like one. "Great, went from homeless, to royalty and now treated as a 'criminal'. Isn't life grand..." He mentally grumbles to himself.

Sawtooth nodded, muscles tensing, his powerful body was ready to run.

As the group started to leave for their destination, Thestral selectively spoke to Isaac. "You won't be a prisoner for long. Just remember, when you get out of the cart, you come with the Hybrid and I. Alright?"

"Right." Isaac mutters, nodding a little while staying as far as possible from the other prisoners.

By the time the cart got to the prison, it was already one day passed. Thestral looked out to the world beyond, focusing on the prison. "There, down there." Thestral took Isaac and Sawtooth, stepping to the side of the crater. "We're at what your Emperor calls the Bile Mines. The portal is somewhere down there."

"Alright." Isaac nods. "Let's just get this done, we're already a day in this venture."

Sawtooth sniffed the air, only to actually flinch slightly. The smell visibly repulsed him; it actually did smell like bile as well as sulfur and decay.

The miners, prisoners sentenced to death by working in the pits, were singing songs to pass the time so they could pass their sentence faster. "Be careful whilst here, the bile is the most dangerous acid in this world." Thestral pointed out, pointing toward a prisoner whom was being neglected as his flesh, soon his whole arm, was eaten away by the bile.

"Wow..." Isaac says in surprise. "I'll...make sure not to touch any of it."

Necessary, yet repulsive. He couldn't imagine why anyone would actually mine the materials in this place; of course the death row prisoners were the miners, but it was still rather freakish.

Thestral lead the two of them into the mines, sniffing the air to find his way to the portal.
"What do you mean what I did was 'wrong?'" Elric asked the three ladies whom stood in front of him. "She wasn't supposed to die, Elric!" The eldest stuck her nose in the air, disgruntled by the god's acts. "You know her fate like we all do." The youngest crossed her arms, sticking her tongue out at Elric.

Isaac followed Thestral in silence, trying to be careful around here and also trying to hide his anger with what's been going on.

Sawtooth followed, monitoring both Thestral and the prisoners. If any of the inmates suddenly went insane and attacked, Sawtooth would have no problem ripping the emaciated prisoner in half.

Thestral lead the two down a long stairway, eventually the stairs being carved from stone. "I can smell the gate into the Deadzone now. Come, it's not much farther."

"Thank you Thestral." Isaac nods before continuing to follow. "Not much longer princess."

"What will happen when we cross over? Where will we go? What will we encounter? What might be hostile?" Sawtooth asked, inquiring so that he could figure out what could be coming. (Fuck am I late. Sorry about that; family has come over.)

"We're going into the Dead Zone." Thestral replied, pointing out a relic trapped deep in the mines. It was a large emerald, and he licked his lips. "We use that to get there. Which of you is gonna get it?"

"And I'm supposed to go head long without knowing if something will just jump out and tear off my head...why?" He asks with a frown, staring at Thestral who kind of gave off 'I'm gonna eat it' look.
