Tartarus - Emergency Stairs
|
All this moving around, and I'm still getting chilly...
This place is rather cold, isn't it? |
|
Tartarus is basically a giant freezer meant to keep Phantoms on ice.
If they started building this place during the Age of Gods, it'd make sense to put it underwater where they could maintain low temps. |
|
It's not exactly the best environment for someone from the Sunset Savanna or the Scalding Sands. |
|
No kidding. At least our dorm uniforms are imbued with temperature-regulating magic, but it's definitely not pleasant. |
|
Oh, do you need a jacket? You could take mine. I could make some magical adjustments to it... |
|
Nobody asked for that, sheesh. We'd be even worse off if you got so cold you couldn't move.
We just need to focus on dragging Radish Sprout out of this hole and gettin' off the island. |
|
Right. I'm worried about the school too. |
|
... You are? |
|
Of course. The only housewardens there right now are Malleus and Kalim.
The whole school must be in chaos, to say nothing of Scarabia. |
|
Hmm... So you don't trust your housewarden to run the dorm by himself? |
|
That's not what I meant. Aren't you worried about your students, Leona?
Savanaclaw has no vice housewarden. I imagine your students are in a panic with their leader gone. |
|
What do I care? They can groom their own tails. |
|
Are you serious? Talk about irresponsible... Wait.
There's a breeze. Before, all I could feel was the cold updraft beneath us. |
|
Yeah, there's been a crosswind for a little while now. |
|
Look! There's a narrow side path just a bit further down. |
|
It's too dark to see in there. The perfect place to hide out.
There's a good chance some unfrozen Phantoms are lurking there. |
|
You stay back here. I'll go in alone and check it out. |
|
Huh?
What are you on about? |
|
What?
You're the second prince of the Sunset Savanna and a housewarden. It only makes sense that I should take point.
Besides, I'm much quicker on my feet- oh, not that I'm suggesting you're slow, of course. |
|
..... |
|
I'm worried, okay? I wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility if anything happened to you... |
|
Hah! Worried? Responsibility?
You're talking about ME? ...Hold on. |
??? |
*screech... screech!* |
|
Too late. Something's coming. |
|
And there they are. We'll just have to intercept them! |
