 S&R team! (At the age line) ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
It wasn't exactly easy, getting through the entrance hall and to the forest. As much as they had tried to stick to the walls and the shadows, the acromantulas were everywhere. It was similar to walk-running through a hairy, crowded forest where all the trees kept moving. And trees had never been frightening to him, until today.
At any moment, there had been the chance that one, or several, of the spiders could have caught wind of them and the disillusionment blanket would have done little to help them. Thankfully, Quigley and the charmers had done a superb job. The spiders, had hardly twitched a hair towards their little group, and soon enough they were out in the cool air.
There were still spiders aplenty, but there was more room to move around them, to head in a line towards the forest that wasn't so close to them. And so they had.
Once at the edge of the forest, Sabel stopped, catching his breath as he turned and for the hundredth time since they had left the Great Hall, accounted for everyone. Thankfully, there would be no need for a secondary search and rescue mission. Everyone was here.
"Everyone okay?" That, was a different story all-together. Ok. Such a subjective term, so loosely applied and interpreted. But there was no time for having a heart-to-heart with anyone. That would be for later. For after. When they weren't standing in the shadow of the Forbidden Forest, at the edge of the Age Line.
