There's so much description in this chapter, gomen ne! er, not in the anime realm anymore! Sorry!
THis would work so much as a movie! Or a manga. one or the other.
The ground rumbled, throwing Jack to his knees and making Carbon stumble.
"What in God's name is that?" he yelled. An orange jet lit up the sky over the mountains.
"That would be a volcano," Carbon replied shakily, "If things are happening this quickly, then we had better run."
"What things?" Jack asked warily. Carbon turned to him and brushed a lock of orange hair out of her eyes.
"There are several power groups aiming to take control of the throne," she paused, "Thankfully, we're the best group and we hold all the cards.
"Good thing?" Jack continued. She nodded and let out a deep breath.
"Yep. There's nothing in our way now," she turned away and began running. Jack's shoulders slumped and he reluctantly ran after her.
After a few hours, they hit a cliff like hill.
"Follow me," Carbon ordered and jumped nimbly from boulder to boulder until she crested the hill. Jack felt pressure forcing his left leg up until his knee bent and he was catapulted by Anatholyan several feet into the air. He landed unsteadily on a boulder and was forced to jump to another until he came to the second last jump from the top. Ana gave him a boost and he shot over Carbon. A cocoon of air surrounded him, surrounded by a pale periwinkle magic circle with straight, short lines jutting out until they turned white. The magic formed another circle outside the spokes and condensed inwards. Runes lit up along the middle of the spokes and the symbols around the circle began moving clockwise while the inner circle symbols turned counter clockwise. They spun faster and faster until the inner circle expanded and bloomed away from the cocoon. The air pocket was launched bullet like through the sky.
The magic was slowly whipped away by the wind leaving Jack without a shield for the unrelentless pine trees blow.
"Gee, thanks Anna," Carbon growled, "Ya know, I'm really tired too but oh no! You only give the human a lift." She turned completely orange and morphed into a relatively small dragon with an amethyst underbelly speckled with tiny blue scales. Two thick gold bands ran around her neck about a hand's breath apart. Raised thin gold lines connected the two bands and perpendicular to the ridged tattoos were tiny gold lines. The ridges continued into solid tubes with darker gold bands around each of them. As she moved, they tinkled ever so slightly, the only give her away as she flew over the tree tops towards Jack.
Tears trickled down Amateras's face and mixed with the blood and dirt from the fall.
"Help me," she croaked and painfully reached towards Calypso. The teal-haired samurai took a step back out of reach.
"No, quite frankly if you couldn't dodge a sprite then I don't see the worth in keeping you around," she replied sharply and knelt down to Ammy's level.
"What about the princess? How are you going to protect her?" Ammy croaked.
"Like I said. A sprite, a lowly sprite knocked you out of the air. Sprites don't come after princesses Amaterasan, humans do," Calypso paused, "And you can't even defend yourself against a sprite," she stood up and gathered Sacari's small body in her arms.
"Please Calypso!" Ammy cried thickly. Cream-white gooey streamers formed a twisted web around her in the trees. Her back was the same colour, forming the base of the web that stretched up from where she was sprawled on the ground.
Calypso vanished.
People are showing their true colours now... dadadaduummm!
