Brothorn looked at Tamien.
"That was one heck of a jump," he said to her. He turned to Armotag.
"I don't see anything funny!" Brothorn was almost shouting. "How are we suppose to know the word?!" He directed the question to the priestess. He didn't know why he was getting so aggitated. There was just something that he didn't like about all this. And his back was beginning to burn.

Akira swore under her breath as the door slammed shut but her attention was soon drawn to the person running around in circles who she walked up to and watched run around a bit before finally asking''are you ok''

Sera was getting enough of these wierd vibrations coming off of Brothorn, so she strode right up to him and fixed him with her eyes. He backed up a little because she had probably gotten a little to close for personal space.

"Brothorn," she stated simply. "Why do you have red markings on your back? What are you hiding, speak now, I'm growing weary of everyone hiding."

She turned around to everyone. "Sukara Wielders are a special breed, you have to have a certain thingin your personality, that is why mostof you have been chosen, nay, all of you. So everyone, start sharing," she turned back to Brothorn. "You first."

A grin spread across Brothorn's face.
"Well if that's the case," he said, "then what's your secret priestess?" Something about her was really ticking him off. His back was searing with pain.
"Lady's first," he hissed at her.

Lycoris stopped running and looked at Akira "Yeah I'm fine." she said to Akira trying to pull off the stuff that clung to her.

Seraphine was struck speechless, the only thing she could do was take a step backward. How could he have struck a chord so soon? Lie or truth? Which would lash back more. She settled for truth.

"I don't know who my true parents were, or for that matter, anything before 10 years ago. My past is a mystery and so is my future. Happy?" she glared at him as she watched the knowledge sink in.

Aeyla slipped out of her reverie.... She noticed that everyone had changed out of their prisoners garb and into something more or less casual. She shrugged and slipped into a corner and changed into her specialty robes. They were a brilliant emerald, the hide of of a lesser dragon, passed down her family through ages, though she had to take them to a specialist to accomidate for her tail and wings. They fit loosly--but not too loose, allowing the scales to sparkle, hilighting every turn of her body.

She admired herself in a mirror hung on the wall, but jumped when the door of the safe slammed with a BOOM! Whether from the resonence or from vibration the mirror fell and shattered on the stone. Broken mirror; bad luck>_> She noticed everyone excited and upset at the noise, and was about to join them when something caught her eye.

A slip of paper stuck out of the broken glass. It was of old goatskin parchment and had a series of runes that she did not recognize. She quickly took it to Seraphine, whom was rubbing her hand from an injury that she guessed came from the door, and aguing with someone wearing a military outfit.

"Umm, excuse me. Can you read this?" She asked expectantly.

OOC: The next puzzle maybe? or is it the Word to open the door?

"Oh! Big woop!" Brothorn shot back. "You're an orphan, so what! At least you didn't have to watch you family die! Try living with that!" He was practically yelling now. He was growing furious, and his eyes were beginning to sting

OOC: Well, Sukara words can't really be inscribed. But your discovery did actually make the story a lot easier to handle thanks Jish! And don't worry all! Someone has learned a word that can open the door. They know who they are and will post to open the door when they can.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seraphine eyed the piece of paper expectantly, but then the eagerness left her eyes as she handed it back to Aeyla. She sighed.

"No, its not Sukara, its some kind of manual like...for a golem, or enchantment. It was probably hidden in the object that it explains."

"You know you would pick this time to argue when we need some togetherness here. Sure we're all special but what does that matter it's not like any of our powers can get us out of here." said Lycoris as more stuff clung to her.

When their little argument was interrupted, Brothorn turned and began to walk away while Seraphine was distracted.

Seraphine turned around and fixed her gaze on Lycoris. She felt hot anger boil down her skin and knew there must be some kind of visual affect. She didn't know why she was so angry, but that thought didn't scare her. It was the fact that she didn't care that scared her. But the words left her mouth anyways.

"Oh, now that we're touching a sore spot, Miss Lycoris, you don't want to share? Are you scared? Because we have no use for weaklings if you want to escape from here! So go ahead, explain why your covered from head to toe in such a ridiculous way." She stopped ranting but was still seething.

''please everyone stop fighting we need to think of a way out maybe if we did this whole revealing our secrets thing later'' or not at allshe thought''then maybe we could get out of here quicker''

Aeyla looked down dissappointed that her idea hadn't gotten them out of their predicament. She sighed and stuffed it into her sack. Her eyes then wandered to the door and she examined it closely. It seemed not to have even the slightest crack to let air in. They would most likly die from suffication. She heard someone remark about 'togeatherness'. She turned to her and said coldly: "Yeah why not, lets all spill the beans. It's not like we have anything better to do; like FIND A WAY OUT!" Aeyla blinked surprized at her sudden outburst. These powers seem to be messing with my chemical balance.

"I think it's really powerful static cling either that or I'm turning into a really powerful magnet. I hate having cells that generate electricity." Lycoris said to Seraphine calming down.

Seraphine was stung by her own remarks. She isn't the type of person to yell like that. She concentrated and found out what the problem was. The robe. As soon as she thought of it, she walked quickly behind the nearest pile of weapons.

"The clasp first..." she thought, and tugged at it. It wouldn't undo. She tried to pull the robes off her head. They wouldn't come off. They stuck to her body and it hurt as if she was pulling off her own skin. She screamed, half with frustration, half with fear. What if she couldn't get it off. SHe tried the only thing she knew. Sukara.

"Caminus!"

No power, nothing happened. The beryl seemed to glint at her with laughter. She sank with despair, but then hope came in the form of a thought. One of the others might be able to get it off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Sorry guys! I have to leave you here, but we'll go again tomorrow. I'll give you a hint. You can't leave without using Sukara. So try all ya want. Trust me. One of us will open it.

Brothorn had sat down a few yards away from the rest of the group. Suddenly, he saw Seraphine leave the group and hurry behind a pile.
What's up with her now?! Brothorn thought sourly. The next thing he heard was a scream. It was the priestess. As mad as he was, Brothorn couldn't help but to wonder if she was okay. When he didn't hear anything else, he really began to worry. He got up and hurried to where she was.
"What's wrong, now?" he asked. His anger could still be heard in his voice.

Sera was still half-tugging at the cloak when Brothorn approached. She gave him frantic eyes and pulled again at the clasp.

"It won't come off-" she said, her voice choked with unshed tears. Then, all of a sudden, they all came out. It was probably a mixture of all the things that have happened finally dawning on her. She talked in that hicupy sob voice.

"I-I didn't (hicup) mean the things I (hicup) said earlier. It was (hicup) because of this (hicup) stupid robe!" she managed to get out. "I need to (hicup) get it off!"

Oh, no, Brothorn thought. Not tears. . . He didn't know how to deal with such. The priestess went on to apologize. Brothorn was about to do the same when the priestess told him about the robe.
"What?! You want me to help you take it off?!" This was quickly becoming a very uncomfortable situation.

Mia walked over to seraphine. "Sera dont worry we'll find a a way to get this off you." She said hugging her around the shoulders try to keep her from crying any more. " Dont worry have i ever let you down?" She said smileing at sera.

"thats it, i'm done with the secrets, i've sucked out the blood of 5 guards since weve been here, whoes next to share."

The situation was getting to be too much for Thea. She rounded on her companions. "Oh would you people give it a rest?! Yeah, okay, so Seraphine has a piece of clothing stuck on her for the time being, but this is not the place to worry about it! Our main focus here is escaping before we're caught and put back in our cells and punished! Get your priorities straight, people!!" Her anger rising, she unconsiously switched to another topic.
"And so-freakin'-what if you people are different?! Everyone in this whole messed up world is different!! There may be those more different than others but its only the utterly and completely blind, stupid, and selfish that fail to see that, no matter the differences, we all love and hate, feel and think!! We all have trials and ethics that define who we are!! It shouldn't be our appearence or our racial background that desides who we are!! If ANY of you dislike ANYONE in this group just because of their physical differences, I will glady kick their ass!!!"
Her anger had reached a point where taking it out on the people before her just wasn't enough. Growling with rage and frustraition, she turned on the metal door and began to pound her fists against it. She beat, kicked, punched, and slammed against it, knowing that no matter how hard she hit it wouldn't open. This only fueled her anger and she continued pounding until her knuckles bled.
"Open up, you bloody, flaming, pile of dragon dung!!! Useless, good-for-nothing door!!! OPEN!!!!
LIBERO!!!! (release)
Before she knew what she had done, the Sukara word had sprung unbidden from her lips. Her tirade was halted with shock as she heard the latch to the door click and slide open. "Did I...? Did I just...?" She felt like she was going to faint.

"congrats thea you did it. Now can we go."

OOC: Peeerfect Makla!
--------------------------------------

Seraphine heard Thea yell a Sukara word. She looked up and saw that it had actually worked. All thoughts of the robe were forgotten as she stood and silently walked towards Thea. She looked at her and cracked a smile.

"You're right, we can take care of our problems when we get out of here. By the way, I'm proud of you."

She turned to Mia and Brothorn. "Thank you both for the sentiments, " she addressed the entire group. "But Thea is right. We have to get the heck outa here before anything else. Let's go before the door decides to close again!"

She quickly stepped through the door and into the hallway, leavign room for the others.

Tamien hadn't said a word while everyone started to lose their temper.She felt scared of them,particularily Brothorn.His aura was getting a darker red and yellow with anger and agitation by the second and overcoming his normally quiet and reserved nature.There was also another feeling she was getting from him.Severe pain in his back.
She noticed Sera was crying about not being able to get her robe off,Thea assaulting the door and Lycoris' body becoming a magnet.
What the bloody hell was going on with everyone?
Then she noticed the brooch on Sera's robe,it gleamed with malice when she tried to use her powers and seemed to be giving off waves of some spell.Defintely not Sukara,she decided.
Suddenly she heard Thea scream
"LIBERO![release]" and the door swung open.When She heard it open,Tamien gathering up her weapons, jumped up and bounded out the door with amazing speed and down the hallway,grateful to be out of the vault and away from the simmering anger of Brothorn.Enclosed spaces made her nervous,even more so if there was no exits.
