A young woman with her amazonian like figure set well upon her toned and curvacious form. Her eyes were that of a glowing sapphire sitting on a bed of fresh snow. Her voice was both commanding and gentle that demanded the attention of all whom heard. Her sun kissed skin and the scars upon it , showed the battles one such as her has seen. The clothes she wore were thick, kevlar infused flex-leggings, a blackshirt with a grey hooded sweatshirt on top. She was the very defintion of thorned rose. Beautiful, but deadly.
The young woman ran down a muddied, tight cooridor with a child, that seemingly was a spitting image of her, in hand. Following them was an older boy, Cal Owens. He was tall and muscular with his chestnut-brown hair, messy from disuse of a comb, sitting beneath a grey hoody. His eyes were an amber-orange and he wore simple jeans and a blue t-shirt. From behind them were no more then six mages firing spell after spell, bullet after bullet. After a few moments of running they come to a fork in their path.
"Where do we go!?" The woman turns her head left and right, eyeing each path. The boy, breathless and weary points towards the right. Nodding the woman picks up her daughter, whom grasps her in a loving embrace. She sprints down the right path with fervor. The boy seeing the woman's almost endless supply of energy, tilts his head in the air and lets out a lot of air.
"PFFFFFFF. AHHH. How the hell are you still running!" He takes in a deep breath and sprints down the path after her. The two run and run until they come upon a giant concrete wall. The woman in her anger slams her fists against the wall and starts hitting it angrily. She quickly turns to the boy and yells at him.
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS THE RIGHT!?" The boy throws up a mana barrier infront of himself and backs against the left wall.
"I had only been down here once or twice before! Look for a switch or something!" The woman sighs and begins frantically patting the walls. A minute goes by and they can hear the voices of their followers not too far behind them. The boy sinks into the ground and begins laughing.

"Ha-hahaha! Here I was hoping we'd get out of this alive!" He begins laughing harder and harder, holding onto his side. The woman pays him no attention and keeps checking the wall. The loud footsteps of the mages draw closer and closer. The boy turns to the woman and shrugs.
"You know its useless? We might as well turn around and fight them." The woman slams her fist into the concrete, creating a dent.
"I will not kill infront of my daughter! She will have none of this life!" The boy lets out a deep sigh and groan.
"Ugghh! Fine, keep looking for a fucking switch! It's fucking hopeless!" As the steps become louder and louder they can hear the raggid breaths of their pursuers. The boy mussies his hair angrily and throws up a large barrier, blocking the cooridor. The six mages soon meet the barrier and begin taunting them.
"C'mon Cal, just drop the barrier and let it end. Quit fighting the inevitable!"
"Yeah, Cal!"
"Yeah!" Several voices are heard saying.
Sweat appearing on the boys brow he smiles.
"What can't break through it? Gotta ask little ol' me to drop it? Ahh, so cute!" The men grit their teeth and begin unleashing spell after spell at his barrier. Soon it begins to form cracks and Cal begins to worry.
"ANYTIME NOW, ELLIE!" At that moment green portal opens up behind them, seemingly pulling them in with great force. Ellie grabs her daughter and grabs a nearby pillar. Cal slowly begins being dragged into it.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Ellie holds onto her daughter with dear life.
"I DON'T KNOW! BUT IT'S BETTER THEN THIS!" She lets go of the pillar and is instantly sucked into the portal, disappearing from sight. Cal looks back towards the portal and forwards toward the group and smiles.
"Welp, it was nice playing with ya, bye losers!" He instantly drops his barrier and dives into the green portal. As soon as he enters it, it shuts behind him. Suddenly they hit the ground with a hard thump and look up from their daze. Their eyes open with amazement as what they see appears to be two brick walls on their side and sun shining at the end. Confused and in pain the three walk to the edge and see a bustling city.
"Where the hell are we?"
