Nelphean snapped out of his derranged mind, and noted the current situation, and calmly said, "s**t." He poured out a series of telekentic bursts on the floor arround the Beast, "Move, and that will be your brain, beast."
Nelphean ran, and kneeled near Rakka, and watched her pain... "Rakka..." The elf suffered a slight flash back, remembering the last visit he had with the chained folk... They had torn out his insides, and leaft him for dead, as they flayed Rakka, allowing the elf to watch... What fun those devils had, tormenting the elf as he had to watch them mercilessly torture his only friend... Part of their sick game... The elf still held onto some of his anger, but not as much as before... "Rakka?"

Her hands clenched into fists as she forced a laugh and looked up to Nelphean, trying to put a smile on for him. "No...body told me...Cymarron...had a most...interesting bite." What barely affected Eclipse had easily taken hold of her, forcing paralysis on her muscles as she had switched with Eclipse in that split second.
He didn't even watch what happened, let alone cared right now. One was dead, the one alive. Claws clicked as he bounded over to Aurahkah and Nelphean, nose nudging her shoulder. "Open your side back up." He stiffened slightly as a link that was closed completely was now open again, both sharing it, lessening it to an extent for both.
She took a few deep breaths, then looked to Nelphean again. "I'm...alright...Nelphean.." For a brief moment she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth again. In the back of her mind, she was monitoring her own condition. Too much blood loss and that was the end of her. "Check...Cymarron for me...please..."

"He is the cat, right... The 12' tall beast that stomped the Malik into the floor... He looks... fine..." Nelphean didn't even look at the cat, who was Cymarron when Rakka was with Nelphean for the longest time in hell.

Cymarron remained comatose, collapsed on the floor, but was breathing..that was about the only sign of life he displayed. his eyes were open but vacant, and his body didn't even twitch.
Broog walked over to Malik's remains, and to Cymarron, and stared at both for a moment before bursting into tears. "Broog's playmate is gone, and Broog's master is gone. who will Broog make shinies for?! Broog wants to make the shinies!" He stomped on the floor, the chest for the moment forgotten as he went into a fit about his 'shinies'.

She merely nodded whether she heard him or not. Move Aurahkah...move dammit. Her trembling subsided the slightest bit. Funny thing was the transference always seemed worse the more it was guarded against.
Eclipse watched her a moment more, before receiving his own silent order. Walking over to Cymarron, who was indeed again Cymarron, and not the beast...which had luckily only wanted Malik, he nudged him with he nose. Again he watched then propped the feline with a wing before slipping under him, so that he now carried Cymarron on his back. With his passed out rider, he padded back to the two. "How long?"
"Don't know...this time..." Usually she could estimate when everything would subside...of course she had never had transference this bad before. It was hard to tell. All she had to do was raise her hand and heal herself, but that wasn't happening. A shake of her head and she looked to Nelphean. "Thank you Nelphean...for coming with me."

"Rakka..." Nelphean watched her slow movements, this was something he hated more than anything else in the world... "May I heal you?" That was new, he never knew he could do that before... He never had to in hell, they never left them hurt very long... They enjoyed the pain of not bothering the pair...
He looked at the cat, "He has mental wounds, but yours are physical... I can fix those..." Now...

"Sounds good Nelphean....I'd do it myself but...well let's just say that now I...know why Cymarron is such a good hunter." She let out a breath, the hair in that had fallen in front of her face shifting slightly from the self created breeze.
Eclipse pawed the ground slightly. This was all so taxing. They all needed to get home...there was so much to sort out. Cymarron, this other Nelphean, just a lot in general. Looking breifly over to the rather loud creature, he had to supress a laugh. "Cry baby."

"It is good to see that you can..." Nelphean was somewhat confussed, Rakka forgot how to do that.. She forgot everything about fighting, everything about magic, just as Nelphean had... It wasn't until he had escaped hell that he found his soul reaching beyond his skin.
"We should take you somewhere safe, away from this pain..." The elf completely ignored every non threat around him...

Broog looked over at Eclipse and went from crying to grinning in moments, dragging his trunk over to Eclispe and popping it open. "Doggie talks. Doggie want to see Broog's shinies?"
In the chest was a pile of collar's, rings, necklaces, bracelets. and of course guantlets of all kinds. some were just nothign but molded steel, other were very pretty and intricate works. Apparently while mental dificient in most areas, Broog was a very good jewler.
"Broog was told to bring all da shinies he has made in dis month for the pretty lady and the doggie to pick from. Doggie like any of da shinies?

Oddly enough...he felt a thief stir in him. Not that of Aurahkah, but his own thieving tendencies that he had learned from her own. It was all tempting...very tempting indeed. "Yes...doggie does like." He practically mimicked the statement's tone, as he looked upon the chest's contents. " In fact he likes a lot. Then common sense hit him upside the head. "So...they have anything "special" about them?"
"Pain is..." What was it? She'd had too much of it lately, it had all been tearing at her little by little though she had hid it behind a smile the past few days. "You learn to feel past it." A smile as her hand twitched. A tingling feeling was starting to p***k at her. Seemed like a good sign.

Nelphean looked into her eyes, and his almost showed the image of her... "You never said that before... But you always ahd that aura about you... You lived through much, and never truly gave in..." His eyes still bleed from that instinces, fifteen years ago...
"Calling this pain is not what we would agree too..." This was nothing... Compaired to what Rakka and Nelphean had undergone at the hands of their captors, this was childs play, or scraping a knee... "Lets agree, that I shall never let you fall into pain again..." This sounds familiar, liek something he said only yesterday, in a bright fiery place...
He waited for her heeling, but it seemed to take forever...

"Der's collar and der's da leashes...but nuttin else ish special. Master liked the ladies ta look perty fer do other master peoples, so Broog got to make lots of shinies."
Broog was showing off many of the peices, very proud of himself.
"Broog can give the kitty a new collar if da doggie and da lady want. maybe a nice metal one? Broog likes dis one, a favorite. Collar's hard to take off without Broog's tools, yes dey are!"
He was showcasing a silver vinework collar, with a red gem as the centerpiece, as well as the vine etched and chain linked 'leash' that went with it.

"Once one lives on their knees half their life, then finally are allowed to stand...giving in to something trying to force you back down is...unacceptable." It was odd, he spoke to Rakka, not her. But she pushed the thought away, letting him have his Rakka. She flexed her left hand finally, and moved it slowly to touch the bracelet that encircled her wrist. Fingertips touched the gold, and a whisper phrase later, Aurahkah was no longer on her hands and knees but sitting on the floor now, eyes closed, taking breaths as she felt the familiar effects of Egyptian magic style healing. Then a warm smile was turned on Nelphean, and the blue in her eyes melted away back to their normal chocolate color. "Are you alright as well Nelphean?
"Hm...you know. What if we just wanted the collar off of Cymarron all together? Aurahkah doesn't like the collar on him." Oh how easy to manipulate ones who fell so easily to compliments. "It is beautiful work, but...the time of collars is long past." He then raised his own head, showing no collar of his own and he was a 'pet', so he should of had one. "See, no collar."

He looked into her eyes, Nelphean knew that this wasn't Rakka, but he so despriately needed to believe that she was... "It still ..., every moment is ..., tormented beyond belief, knowing that..." His mind was certain she was Rakka, by his heart told him the dire truth... He smiled at her, the Rakka who never had lived through the nasty last fifteen years...
"I don't know what to feel... But we should leave here. Malik is the kind that would change guises to trick us into thinking that he was dead, only to pop out of some dark corner to confront us... Take your sword, Ra--ka." Nelphean held the hilt of Soulforage towards Aurahkah.

She looked almost horrified that the sword had gotten from her. But the look was split second and quickly vanished. She pushed her self up from the floor, a bit wobbly, but steadied herself. Reaching out she graped the hilt gently and drew the blade back to herself. A moment spent staring at it before she slid it into the sheath hanging from her belt. Then she reached back out and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Again...thank you Nelphean. And yes, home sounds nice." She turned her head to look at Eclipse, who was conversing with the door guard from earlier.
