(Nothing that looks like a sentry or a guard, the room itself must be a trap, and that liquid has a strange scent) the yaju thought while kneeling close to one of the rivers of the red liquid and used her magic to try to get it into one of her remaining vials, all the while avoiding the contact with her fur or pieces of clothing.

The liquid moved from the fountain easily enough. The fountain seemed to be suppressing the cent for once the liquid was free so too was it's true cent. This was defenatly blood from one of the seven races. But which one? She would have to find out later for not a moment laer, loud footsteps could be heard coming from the rightmost door. The steps seemed to sound more like metal and less like bone and it was quite a bit louder than the foot steps f the normal undead.
Everything frm the lef and front doors still seemed silent. and the one she had just came from was dormant as well.

Braum gave Zena a confident smile and nod as he turned to face forward. Lifting his shield only an inch or two above the ground, he was clearly ready to charge in. "Do not worry, for Braum will protect you young girl." He said as he, with all his strength began to push forward with all his strength. He was literally putting all his weight into charging forward through any hazards with his large stone shield in front of him. With Zena behind him, Braum pushed forward, serving as her fortification and trusty shield while she serves as his sword.

The yaju sealed the vial of what she now knew it was blood, but she couldn´t pinpoint which of the nine species it was (No matter from which of them this is, the amount of blood.. how many did these people killed to have so much?) she asked herself mentally. The vixen was about to move when she heard footsteps coming to the room, she quickly took the vial and hided in a corner by the shadows, waiting to see who was coming.

"H- huh?" Alerted by how frantic Azeruk sounded and acted, Lavender hastily stood up and stuck close to him, anticipating something wrong. Her gaze went from Azeruk to the mechanical giants, and back again as she tried to understand what was going on; but soon she realized that verbally asking is the best option to solving her curiosity. "M- master... what's going on? Why are we leaving...?"

"No, I meant-" Kazeane smacked her forehead with her palm, appalled by how dull Takeshi was. She's always known it from before but... to think that he wasn't getting the obvious hints... "Never mind."
Kazeane spied the skies to find that it was slowly getting closer to sunset. When the sun sets, the Tenma usually assembles his concubines and his offsprings for dinner. If the two do not get back to the Sky Spear Tree in time for supper, they would be in so much trouble...
"Hey Takeshi, it's almost sunset." Kazeane alerted her bodyguard who was more than just a guard. "Shouldn't we be heading back now?"

Achlys stretched lazily, muttering to herself that finding people was Aion's job. She then sent the floating skull ahead to look for Saru. She and a small number of skeletons followed it to the monkey boy. "There you are," She said as the skull returned to floating over her one shoulder, "Are you conscious?" After asking this, Achlys reached into her enchanted bag to pull out a potion she normally uses on Aion when he's injured as Saru is. "Do I need to give you a potion that I've been told tastes absolutely terrible?"
Chronomancer's Tower
After a while, Aion slipped back into the hallway he was in. Nothing. I could stall her... Keep her from getting...
The book.
With his thoughts collected, Aion was now more inquisitive of the foreign thoughts. Book? What book? Who's in my head? What is with this place? Only the distant sound of footsteps answered him. Frustration started to set in. Ok. Fine. Moving on. He pressed onward, getting deeper into the tower, seeking the necromancer. This time though, he felt it best to try and play mind games with her. I can make the illusion of teleportation. Be in one place then another. If I stall her long enough, the others should be able to catch up.

The fox had hidden herself just in time not to be seen. A Heavily armored undead worrier stepped into the room. There was something differant about this one. It had a rather dark aura about it. The creature was covered from head to toe in armor consisting of hundreds of bones and many many skulls. the eyes in all of the skulls upon his armor had greenish yellow lights shining from within their eye sockets employing that they could see. If this were the case then the being's armor would give him 360 degree vision. While only make of bones it was clear this armor was heavily enchanted. This specimen was clearly a cut above the rest of the undead thralls, perhaps even her second in command.
It was very possible that this undead was the sours of power for the ritual below the fox's feet. If that were the case then killing this beast would make the rest of the job a lot easier. However bringing this one down wouldn't be so easy. There was also no real proof that this being was responsible for the ritual in the first place. The armored undead peaked around the room before walking back out again, leaving from the door opposite to the one he had entered. The double doors and now one of the side doors were clear for exploring. Or the fox could try t strike down this new foe, it was all up to her.
Pine Grove | Chronomacer's Tower
The necromancer was aware she was being followed but did little about it. She commanded about ten of her lesser undead to stay behinde and attack anyone who trespassed beyond that point. She hadn't forgotten any of the beings she had fought prier to entering the tower and being in a place like this gave her an advantage against all of them. while the inside of the tower was still quite big it was much less open than the great out doors. This left much less room for people to dodge her attacks. While Seki could probably survive most oncoming attacks it wouldn't' be too difficult for her to wipe out anyone foolish enough to attack her head on.
Meanwhile much further back in the tower Zena and Barum pushed onward into the mysterious chrono mage tower. With so many various pathways and doors to open it would have made it difficult to find anyone. their only salvation was the footsteps that could be heard in the distance in an otherwise silent tower. It was almost too unnerving to bear. Hunting a powerful enemy that would surely smite them were she to find them before they found her. Zena doubter she would be able to pull another fast one o the necromancer to blind her again but there was still a chance they could defeat her. "We need to catch up with Aion. I can't imagine why he would come here alone but we'll need his help if we want any chance of stopping the necromancer."

Nera decided to stay in the shadows as she examined what she guessed was a high rank undead (Strong body structure, possible perfect loop vision, encanted armor, a powerful foe"), she could feel the energy radiating from the high undead ("A good chance that it is the one sending energy to the sygils, or maybe a juggernaut"). The yaju decided to let it go, but not before catching its scent, the putrid odor of rotten flesh mixed with the smell only the old could have, it was a strong and she could differentiate it from the other ones in the air.
("For the moment, I´ll try to look around, maybe there is something that can help on understanding this place") the fox yaju moved cautiously towards the wooden double door, it looked to be the most important of the three entrances.

After instructing the guardians of the tower to defend their home, Azeruk quickly turned his attention over to Lavender.
"The tower is being attacked. I managed to trick that girl from before away, but she will come back, and when she does, she is not going to be happy.", Azeruk hastily explained to Lavender.

Contrary to what Kazeane thought, Takeshi knew exactly what she was getting at. He had simply acted coy to try and dodge the topic. He needed time to think about this and what could happen if he said anything, but he now at least knew that the thought had crossed Kazeane's mind as well. Luckily, he would have time to think about all this during dinner. Suddenly, Takeshi's rather glazed look came back into focused as he looked to Kazeane and nodded.
"Right. Let's head home.", Takeshi said as he stood up from the rock he was sitting on.

Past the twin doors lied what looked to be a throne room. Or.... a dungeon? There was a large fancy looking chair at the back of the room carved out of skulls and other various s bones, the seat seemed to be padded with a mix of human and jin flesh. However the walls were lined with skeletons and decaying corpses that wee hung up to the wall by their wrists. There was more than enough evidance of torture in this room as many of the skeletons were broken or even had weapons still inside them. Out of all the dead bodies in shackles however... one was still alive.
What appeared to be a human male. His eyes and hair were blue, he couldn't' have been older then 17 from the looks of it. His ribs were showing and his stomach was so thin that it was pathetic. He clearly hadn't eaten in days. However he was still breathing. He had a few wounds here and there but it didn't seem like he had been beaten all that badly. Maybe the necromancer kept this one alive for questioning or for some other reason. There was a bit more to the room as well. Investigating the throne might give her a clue. The dead bodies may alsoo provide some answers.and of cores there was the boy slowly dying on the wall.
