[With the best timing they could've come up with, the Malnosso have returned a certain young mage a couple of kilometers from the entrance to the tunnels. Badly hurt, barely moving and bleeding profusely, it looks as if he's yet another victim - another casualty. Thankfully, his journal seems to be working just fine, and picks up his shallow, ragged breathing and a weak cry for help - ]

Raine--?

Lloyd--?

[He's still a bit out of it, wincing slightly every now and then as Lloyd lifts him onto his back. He does notice the wings, though. With their color, they're kinda hard to miss.]

Lloyd, your wings - they're-!

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Kiddo!

... Where are you?

[wise_maiden]

Don't worry about that now.

Lloyd -- let's go.

Right. [and he starts walking...] Where are we heading, Professor?

[jian-wen.livejournal.com]

You're dead.

-- Genis.

[corrinesbell]

Genis! Are you okay?

[Tries to twist around to look at his sister; weren't her wings different too?]

What's going on...?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Arche...?

[Haltingly -] I dunno. I think Raine's coming to get me, but - I don't know where I am. [Scuffle scuffle scuffle. It sounds like he's trying to move.]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[What.]

- nope, I don't think so.

[voice]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[Wryly -] I've been better.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[...]

Mithos?

[knightofratatosk]

Genis, where are you?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

I - I don't know. [He sounds tired, breathing ragged.] I'm trying to find the village, but - [dissolving into coughs now.]

[knightofratatosk]

I-is someone coming to help you?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Raine and Lloyd are coming.

[knightofratatosk]

Don't fall asleep, okay?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[He sounds tired, but.] I'll try not to.

[knightofratatosk]

Damn these Malnosso...

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Heh. It's not the first time.

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault.

[knightofratatosk]

But I couldn't do anything to stop all of this from happening.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[Yes, Genis, they're pale and glowing a bit.]

Back to the house. [Raine feels a little guilty about leaving too quickly and not telling Albert, but Nala wouldn't have any of that, and her influence is still strong at the moment.] He should be in bed, and the clinic, as far as I know, is still closed off.

... It will be explained properly later, dear. Hush now.

I don't know if anyone can stop the kidnappings.
