Billy quickly collected Mandy in his arms again, beginning to stand as he lifted his scythe. "Leave her alone!" His small voice piped up as he picked up his heavy scythe that seems to overpower him and slammed the bottom into the ground, transporting the three of them within a green glow into another room that looked very much like the first room Billy was in, with the green meadows and lake, although there was no forest, just plain flat lands.
Billy stared silently around this new place before dropping his scythe and shoulders, staring down at Mandy who lay in his arms with swirly eyes. Billy seemed to collapse down on his knees as his skeletal body felt the power that had drained from him in moving all three of them.

Roy didn`t know what was happening, suddenly everything around him vanished in a green glow and then he was with Kieru and Billy in another room that seemed very familiar.
Roy lowered his sword. "Wow.. Billy. I didn`t know that you are able to do that!" Then he noticed the little guy falling on his knees. "Hey? Are you okay?" Roy asked worried as he kneeled down and reached with his hand to the scythe to get the weight off from Billy's shoulders.

"Don't touch it." Billy stated, moving his scythe away from Roy's hand. "It'll hurt you if you touch it..." He said a bit quietly as he tried to lift himself to his feet, hanging onto his scythe, letting Mandy on the ground so he could use both hands.
"I can't decide where we go when I use that spell... I'm not high enough level for that.... That's why I didn't try it before... But we were in danger.... Those creatures were immortal..." He said quietly in his sad sort of tone as he stared at the ground, holding onto his large scythe to keep himself standing, even though it seemed to tower over him as if it would make him fall backward any second.

Kieru had turned quickly, raising her staff to fight what was coming behind her, a bit surprised to find herself surrounded in a green glow, then in a completely different place when the glow disappeared.
Kieru looked around a moment. This grassy land seemed to go on forever. The only difference was a lake nearby. Kieru thought for a moment as she stared at the lake before looking over at the young reaper boy who had saved them from that fight.
Kieru quietly watched the boy for a moment before looking back over to the lake and beginning to walk over to it, stopping at the edge of the lake, standing there as she looked in, trying to find any sort of passageway under the water.

Roy immediatly took his hand back when Billy warned him "Oh.. I didn`t know. I`m sorry. Are you sure you`ll make it alone ?"
Then he stood up looking around. "Ah great.. now we are here again.... how are we supposed to find the exit?" He turned around and noticed that Kieru was moving towards the lake. But he didn`t see what she was doing "Hey!" he shouted over to her "Kieru! Did you find something?"

"This is actually a different place..." Billy said a bit quietly, then looking over to Kieru also as Roy called to her.
Little Mandy slowly hobbled her way over to Kieru, standing next to her as she looked over into the wall, leaning a bit more before falling in. Mandy maybe some shrieking calls as she tried to keep to the surface, though failing rather quickly with those stubby little arms.
"Mandy!" Billy called, seeing his friend fall into the lake and began to run over.

Kieru looked down as she saw the small creature fall into the water, hearing the young reaper calling the creature's name behind her. Kieru swiftly placed her staff into the cloth sheath on her back and jumped into the water, swimming over a bit to grab the creature that had been pulled away from the edge.
She quickly brought the creature back and placed it only dry land only to get herself pulled under by something rather long and string that then pulled her down towards it. As she went under, a few other tentacles that belonged to the creature wrapped themselves around her legs and waist to make sure it had a hold on her.
Kieru tried to look down to see what had grabbed her, seeing a rather terrifying creature with a rather large amount of tentacles sticking out and sort of floating in the water around her. Surely, if the others tried to save her, they'd only end up caught themselves as well.
Kieru quickly reached for her knife, pulling it out and reaching down, beginning to cut off a few of the tentacles. The creature let out a terrifyingly loud yelp and more of the tentacles wrapped around her, holding her arms down at her sides, wrapping completely around her so she could hardly move at all.
Kieru still tried to move the knife in her hand to cut another tentacle, only to get it knocked out of her hand by another. Kieru looked up to the surface of the water. 'Don't come down here.' She thought, not wanting the other two to get caught as well as she knew that would happen if they came down.
Kieru was still being pulled deeper under water, closer to this terrifying creature as it began to open it's mouth, showing it was prepared to eat her. Kieru still tried to move, attempting to get part of herself free from the tentacles at least, only to feel them grip around her tighter.

Roy was waiting for a reply, but he didn`t get any. So he just watched Billy walking over to her. At first he didn`t even notice that Mandy fell into the lake because Roy was still checking the horizon to get an idea were they should go next.
Only as he heard the water splashing a few times he turned around to see what was happening. He could see Billy who stood next to the lake leaning down to Mandy which layed on the ground drenched with water. But where was Kieru ? Then again water splashed in the air and Roy could see an arm reaching out of it and disappearing in the same second. "Kieru?!"
Roy immediatly started to ran over to the lake. "Billy, what happened?" he asked almost shouting while watching into the lake. "Whatever is happening down there... she will die if we don`t do something!". Unable to see anything beyond the surface forced him to make a decision. "I`ll go down and check... you stay here with Mandy." With these words he drew his sword with his right hand and his dagger with his left hand and jumped into the lake.
After he opened his eyes he could see anything that was happening. He noticed Kieru who was captured by the tentacles of a big... thing that was about to open his mouth and trying to eat her. Roy hurried to swim close to the monster before it could drag Kieru in his mouth. He rammed his sword into the monsters head next to his mouth, hoping that in would hurt it somehow. After noticing that its stuck while the water coloured red around them he turned to Kieru. He was slicing the tentacles that held her alsways moving around her to be sure that he won`t get captured also.
Then as he almost freed Kieru something snapped around his right food all of the sudden and before he could look down he was dragged into the red cloud which revolved around the monster. All he could do was streching his right hand towards Kieru....

Billy stood there, not sure what to do. He dropped his scythe to the side and bent down to pick up Mandy in his arms, staying on his knees and watching into the dark water, hoping Roy and Kieru would be okay and trying to think of something to do to help them since he was not able to swim.

Kieru was rather surprised at how long Roy had managed to avoid the tentacles, but knew he wouldn't have been able to avoid them long. Just as she had finally been mostly cut free, she noticed Roy had been snagged and begun to be pulled down.
Kieru swiftly pulled out her sword from the cloth sheath on her back, cutting off the rest as speedily as she could before swimming down, tightly grasping onto Roy's hand. She looked at him with sure eyes, as if to say "We'll make it out".
Kieru then gave a tight pull at Roy's arm, causing her to be pulled further down than him. As she let go of his hand, she swiftly cut the tentacle that had held him, moving up and grabbing his hand again rather tightly as she began to swim as fast as she could to try to get to the surface while avoiding tentacles.
The tentacles remaining swung violently through the water, trying to grasp onto the two meals that had escaped the creaature. Kieru kept swimming to the surface which seemed to far away, especially since she felt she wouldn't be able to hold her breath much longer at all.
Kieru managed to cut away most of the tentacles that swung near her, almost making it to the top before her ankle was grabbed once more, a violent tug from the beast as Kieru let go of Roy's hand so he wouldn't be dragged back down as well, as the pull from the tentacle creature pulled her down far quicker than any human could swim.

Roy could barely hold his breathe and then he witnessed Kieru dragged down again. He paniced. But he knew that Kieru almost brought him to the surface. So with a last strong push of his legs he brake through the surface breathing for air. He took some deep breaths of air to calm himself not able to explain everything to Billy who stood near him at the edge of the lake. Then he took a deep breath and dived downwards again.
He quickly was heading towards the red cloud which made him almost blind hoping that Kieru would be still alive. He still had his dagger in his left hand and he knew that he wouldn`t leave that lake before he saved Kieru and got his sword back.
This damned creature will get toasted if I won`t get my sword back!
Then suddenly he reached the ground again and could see what happened to Kieru...

Kieru could no longer hold her breath as she was pulled down, using what was left of her strength to cut herself loose again, trying to swim up again, only to quickly get grabbed and surrounded by the rest of the tentacles that still floated around.
Kieru let go of her breath, unable to hold it any longer, trying to keep her lungs from filling completely with water now as she began to lose her vision and all of her strength, her sword slipping from her hand and floating to the bottom, as every inch of her body weakened until she passed out, unconscious.
The tentacles seemed to continue wrapping around her almost like a cocoon as the creature opened it's mouth, spewing a sort of blackish jelly liquid that then covered the sort of cocoon, sinking inbetween the tentacles and fully covering Kieru's unconscious body.
The creature then continued to pull her body in it's tentacles towards it's open mouth, still preparing her within the tentacle cocoon to be eaten.

The scenery looked aweful. Roy saw Kieru caged in the cocoon noticing that she was unconscious. He was alone now. She wouldn`t be able to help him. Roy was on his own and he needed to safe her.
Since the creature was busy with preparing Kieru, Roy dived down to get Kieru's sword after he put his dagger to his belt again. Then he swam up again to the creatures head. With all his power he rammed Kierus sword next to his sword into the creatures head. Then he hold tight onto both handles of the swords to get them out again while he pushed himself back with his feet. While diving backwards he turned around hisself and swung both swords to get rid of the tentacles that already came nearer. And then he stepped between the mouth and Kieru and with a last strike he stabbed both swords into its mouth hoping it would show any affection and the creature would let go of Kieru.

Billy sat on the grass next to the lake, on his knees, hugging little Mandy rather tightly though not enough to hurt her. His skeletal sad face showed a rather worried look as he hoped Kieru would be okay, unable to sense the creature at the bottom or how strong it was.

A terrifying shriek came from the creature as if let out a mass of black goo from deep within it's throat, the goo spreading out to everything around the area, thicker than water and rather difficult to swim in.
The tentacles still remained around Kieru, though almost a slight bit looser as a couple tentacles moved from her to swat at the disturbance that just stabbed the creature's mouth.
