Thank Grimm for my cloak

Without it, Asper didn't know if he could've withstood the heat. It seared his back, but it was all he could do to keep his partner underneath him. She was clasping his shirt and sobbing, he didn't blame her, it was like a new hell had been birthed.

All through it, he whispered to Zhu-Li, and a little bit for himself as well,

"It's okay, it'll be alright, it's okay, it's okay..."

And then it stopped, gunshots fell silent, and his ear stopped ringing. It was over, the gun had run out of ammo. The burning sensation on his back hadn't though, and it was like a fire raged inside him.

Carefully, he got up to his feet, Zhu-Li having gotten out earlier. The beast hadn't did, amazingly, but had turned tail and run away. Amilanthior, for one, just didn't have the energy, he only clasped his chess piece in his hand and sat down, supported by a pillar of stone.

He caught Zhu-Li's eye, and tiredly winked with a grin.

"Well, at least you'll have something to brag about back home, eh?"

Kinaver smiled at Dawn, his soon-to-be partner. Then he walked over to grab a chess piece, the last one left, the white queen. Then he too sat down next to Asper. With a groan he pulled out a water canteen, taking a large swig, and then passing it on.

They'd survived, not bad, especially considering that they'd fought off an entire Beowulf pack, and an Eddie. He pushed down the back of his pants, and let loose his tail, making sure that the large, bushy thing was tucked safely away behind him.

Then he had an idea, borrowing the tail, he caught some of the venom in the now empty water canteen. He didn't know if it would come in handy later, but it was always better safe than sorry. Besides, they'd done what they'd come to do. Now all that needed to happen, was wait for Beacon to get them outta this place.

He sighed before closing his eyes, he'd done his sister proud today. And he was sure that his mother would be beaming along with her, up in heaven, after seeing all that he'd accomplished so far. So proud.

So..Very...Proud. Then he closed his eyes, falling into a light snooze.
