"That's assuming we make it out of here alive." Des said. He finished picking up. "You ready to run out of this scarred land?"
Kaerisa shook her head. No, all I know is we gotta go and fast. She said.

"Always." Esse replied. Despite the fact that it was uncomfortable, Essetai tensed her muscles and pressed her small wings against her back. She didn't need them creating any drag. After all, they needed to escape and fast!
Kento frowned. "Well that's less than good news..."

Des shook his head and knelt down on one knee. "Climb on my back, it will be faster." Des said. " Don't worry, if it's anything we Storm Elementals know, it's speed. Just hold on tight to what you have." Des took his sword of his back and put it on his waist. "Ready."
Just wait, it may be worse. Kaerisa Said.

Hiko looked confused. What about Kento? They won't both fit on your back. I can carry Kaerisa and the wood though... If we are going to fly.
He stood firmly and allowed the satchels and wood to be strapped onto him.

"All we need is to catch up to Kento and Kaerisa." Des explained. " We'll make better time than if we ran normally and may even get ahead. Once we meet up everyone can run on their own feet. That is, if Esse agrees."

Essetai carefully climbed onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck for support and holding her legs around his sides. Her wings folded tight to her back. She was unsure quite what to do with her tail but she kept it from getting in his way anyway, trying not to tangle up Des's legs with it. "All right. I'm ready I suppose..."
"Worse?" Kento said worriedly. "How much worse? I hate to believe you're being negative but..."

Hiko took to the air. His broad wings kept his agile frame afloat easily, even though they were not fully grown yet. He shook his mane an shot upwards before moving across to the edge of the tree stumps. The lack of trees meant that it was easy to spot Kento and Kaerisa, who were at the treeline further north, and moving further northwards, although they were hindered by the undergrowth and large tree stumps.
He angled his wings, feathers automatically aligning themselves to give him the shortest route to his target, and he swept into a dive.

A spark of lightning ran down Des's leg as he began to run. Every time he lifted his foot, little bolts would follow. Esse's weight threw him off at first but he bagan to adjust. He accelerated to a fast pace but still slow enough to dodge trees and objects. "How you holding up?" Des asked.
Kaerisa gave a snort of air as she chuckled. What you call negative I call realistic. She said. Sorry, but that's sometimes just how it is.

Essetai held on tight. She was sure not to choke Desumo as she was certain it would be preferable she did not. After all, one needed oxygen to run and cutting off the windpipe was not quite a pleasant sensation. "Holding up alright..." she replied. "How about you? Am I throwing you off stride too much?" She asked. She sighed, also having to be careful to speak into his ear without accidentally moving her head too much. Getting stabbed by a horn was also another thing to avoid to say the least.
"Negative, realistic, whatever. I'm sure we have more important things to wor-woah!" Kento had started to say 'worry' but when he saw Hiko diving towards him his sentence completely changed.

"Not more than i can compensate." Des said. "Just hope I don't have to jump over anything, then we may run into trouble. I'm not that great at the landing with aditional weight, no offense." Des didn't run in a straight line to avoid stumbs and low objects, slightly slowing him. He kept his eyes on Hiko, following him to Kento and Kaerisa.
Where is everyone else? Kaerisa asked Hiko. The pegicorn surprised, making her nearly slip from Kento's head.

They are running... They should be here soon. Hiko swept downwards, landing perfectly next to Kento, and grabbing Kaerisa's tail gently in his mouth to stop her from slipping. Once she had regained her balance, he flew up again so that Des could see where he was.

As Des drew closer to Hiko, he began to see a figure of in the distance. after a few minutes he recognized it to be the shape Kento with Kaerisa on his head. Details were obscured in the dark but he was sure it was them. "We're almost there, see them?" Des said nodding ahead. He kicked up his speed a bit to get there faster.
Kaerisa crawled back on Kento's head and looked around. Thanks. She said to Hiko. after a bit she saw Des and Esse in the distance. She gave a laugh at Des was carrying Esse. They're coming.

"Yes I see them," Essetai nodded. Her voice was flooded with relief. After all who wanted to hear their friend was in danger and was nowhere to be seen? No one she knew of at least. "Sheesh if we had lost them I'm sure Zan wouldn't be happy with me. After all Kento makes our trio."
Kento was grateful for Hiko's help. After all he had enough to worry about without trying to save her from falling off. He put a hand on the Pegicorn's neck as thanks. "Boy I'm glad to see you!"

"I dunno, I make a pretty good third person." Des joked. "Guess I'll settle for a group of four." Des began to wonder if the guards and realized they were there. "Esse, look back, are we being followed or anything?"
Kaerisa whipped the back of Kento's head with her tail. Thanks for the help. She said. I keep you from running into trees but you catch me?

"Not quite Desumo. You're not an Auroran I point out." She paused in her argument and closed her eyes. Her sharp hearing kicked in and she frowned. "Doesn't sound like they're really close yet but I DO hear the metal clinking of armor. I assume by now they're on our trail especially since we made quite a quick escape. Be ready in case they catch up with us... I can't tell how many though."
Kento winced. "Ow! Hey it isn't my fault Hiko got you first!"
