"HELLO!?" The woman shouted, feeling over the shelves. "Huh, and to think I could have read these..."
She then noticed a door leading elsewhere.
"Guess I'll try here." She mumbled before opening the door, entering the stairs.

"Whatever." Ri'Rin said as she wandered off to the basement, she walked and began chanting a spell. "A flames light, though be it small, illuminate my path. Wisp!" A small red flame appeared in her hand as she held it out. Then she placed it near the end of her staff and the three gems kept the flame sustained. "Anyone down here?" She called, and she heard a slight growl echo around her.

~Chris~
Chris sat up and looked around the room. "That was too realistic for a dream..." He muttered, looking up. "Hm? Light?" He said, looking at the hole in the ceiling. "Ugh... That means my lantern's up there..." He sighed. He looked around. "Least I still have my bag..." He looked in the bag. Two books, just as he had before. "Good... Well, Guess I needa get outta here." He said, removing a knife from his belt. He opened the door and started walking, readying himself in case of a monster.
~~~
Hannah, meanwhile, heard Ri'Rin's voice. Her body then shivered. 'Great, could that be the aide? No wait, that's the same voice as that one... I just have to remain hidden... Sorry, but you just being here really irritates me.' She thought as she slipped further down the second floor of the basement. She proceeded to whisper, "Hey, aide, you around?"
~~~
It was at that point that Chris backed into something. "Huh!? UAGH!" He jumped with a yelp. "Stay back!" He shouted, swinging his knife wildly, his eyes tightly shut, as if he were afraid to see what was in front of him.
~~~
"Keep swinging that thing, 'cause it's not going to hit anything." Hannah sighed as she quickly grabbed Chris' wrist, despite the dim lighting. "Look, I just want to spend my vacation in peace. Now come with me back to the scholar, and we'll both be happy, Mr. Aide."
"H-huh? You're not a monster?" Chris asked, opening one eye. "H-hey! You're-!" He started, shocked. "Huh? Hey, you're cute!" He said, interrupting himself. "Master Yuan sent ya? I didn't know he had any cute friends! I'm Chris! What's your name? You're a heretic too, right? Where are ya from? Are people jerks there? Man, this one time I-"
"SHUSH!" Hannah quickly clapped a hand over Chris' mouth. "Are you that spazzy? How can a scholar... oh never mind. Just shush, for the love of Erde. Someone is above us... and if that person isn't a heretic... well, we wouldn't want to deal with any trouble, now do we?" Hannah glared at Chris. So he is a heretic, like me... great. There seems to be those that act... oh never mind.
"Aw, nobody cares here." Chris said. "Everyone's so busy with their noses in books that they wouldn't even notice if a cutie like ya tapped em on the shoulder." He said. "Erm... So got a lantern?"
"First: Don't call me cute. I'm part of a militia. Second, someone may care. Someone that's NOT a scholar. Now we have to go back, without the lantern. Haven't you learned anything? You know... finding your way back in the dark... training like that?" Hannah began to feel for the walls, realizing where exactly the two were.
"Yeah, but I fell in a hole..." Chris said. "So I don't know where we are... Maybe if I look at the books..." He looked at a book. "But nobody comes down here without a light, that's just dumb miss... Uh... Militia Chick. Erm... What's your name?"
"I was trained to do this. And he just sent me without a light, so what was I to do?" Hannah rolled her eyes, ignoring the last question as she began to walk back. "Follow my whisper. We can't be too loud. She'll find us... but that's probably already likely."
"You have no idea where we are, do you?" Chris asked.
"Probably the basement below a basement." Hannah shrugged.
"These basements reach halfway to Baron." Chris said. "Ya can't just shrug it off. Hang on a sec..." He looked at another book.
"What now? Can you even read in the dark?" Hannah glared... again.
"Not really..." Chris sighed. "Tryin to get an idea where we are..." He said, pulling out another book. The one he'd pulled suddenly exploded into a flurry of pages. "Uh oh..." He mumbled.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Cried Hannah, leaping off to the side.
Chris pulled out his knife. "Not all the books are friendly..." Chris squeaked as several giant spiders formed from the pages.
"WHY are you even opening them? We were supposed to just go back to the nice little not-so-happy scholar!" Hannah quickly reached for the only piece of equipment; her spear.
"This was not on my vacation to-do list!"
"Better than listening to Master Yuan drone on for hours. Man, this one time I saw him knock a guy out cold by TALKING-Yipe!" Chris exclaimed, barely dodging one of the spiders. "Um... You fought these things before, Militia-Chick?"
"No, but I have fought off little monsters, thugs, and what-have you. Should be the same." The woman responded as she suddenly lunged forward with the spear.
The spider shrugged off the lunge and ran at Hannah.
"Ya gotta hit their bellies!" Chris shouted, swinging at one spider's leg. As it moved, he kicked it over and jumped at it, stabbing his knife into its underbelly. It dissolved into paper.
"You must have researched this... or have you spent down here your whole life, fighting these? Raugh!!!" Hannah shoved the tip of the weapon through the spider's underbelly. "Gotcha."
"Just fought a few of em, ah!" Chris jumped back from one attack and smacked right into Hannah as the spider she attacked turned to paper. "Ow!"
"So you have been here bef-ACK! STOP being so clumsy!" The woman cried, falling backwards into the shelf behind her.

(Thats one big post O.o)
Ri'rin found the hole in the floor, the lantern just barely on the edge. Soon she heard a scratch on the floor she quickly turned to see something charging at her she didn't have time to make it out, she jumped in the hole and ran, grabbing the lanter on her way down. "Damnit, I come to learn and I end up being attacked." She said as she ran, she heard the beast land on the ground behind her. "Coming from the heart of the earth, Please help me now, Crystal Butterfly: Swarm!" She chanted, the flame from her previous spell dissappearing. Butterflies swarmed towards the beast. "Now, in a display like no other, Shatter!" The Butterflies all exploded into different directions, stopping the ebast for a moment. She heard the voices of the others. "Hello, a little help here!" she said as the beast roared echoing throughout the basement.

Before long, all the spiders had been dispached. Chris fell onto his bottom, breathing heavily. "Phew... That was all of em..." He said. "Hey, Militia-chick, you hear something?" He asked, before shaking his head. "So I had this dream about you..." He said.
"What is it this time?" Hannah sighed as she continued to climb. Stairs must be longer than last time...
"Um... Everything was really dark and deadlike..." Chris said. "And I saw ya unconscious on the dusty ground... It was eerie, but I know it was you now that I saw ya."

Ri'Rin ran between the two just barely seeing them. "Sorry to break up this little moment but a little help would be nice." She yelled as she stopped. "Wind and Frost Combine now, Blizzard!" Ice crystals shot at the beast, it yelped, then roared at them. "Just keep running and we'd be doomed."

"Huh? Great, a spell user?" Hannah cried with a furrowing of the brows.
"Thanks for the light though..." She said, running ahead. "And you're too weird, aide!" She then glanced over to the beast. "Whoa... so this was lingering in the woods."

"Huh?" Chris said. "Uh, hey! It's the doggie!" He continued, looking around. "Oh! I recognize these books!" He stopped and faced the dog. "Listen up, doggie, you're in the way, so could you please move it!" He shouted.
The 'dog' roared in response.
"Um, guys... Anyone here speak doggie? It doesn't get that it's blocking the only path up." Chris said, pointing at the steps they had just passed in their haste.
"Oh yes." Hannah 'bravely' pranced up to the 'doggy' and rolled her eyes. "ARF ARF... oh what the hell am I doing?" She stepped back. "Look, are you really that of an idiot to actually believe it will listen to us... EVEN if we learned your so called 'DOGGY' speech? Also your fun fact of the day; it's a BEHEMOTH! Not a doggy. Doggies are litt-"
"ROAR!!!"
"Right. I understand I'm being a little excessive... Well, let's just kick its butt, okay?"

"You two are idiots!" Ri'rin shouted. "The power of wind rush foward, Aerora!" She swung her staff and three green blades of air flew foward towards the Behemoth. "Just Kill it!"

Chris sighed. "I just thought it might've been easier..." He said, drawing his knife. "Oh man, I feel kinda... Like I'm gonna be useless..." He said, looking at Ri'Rin's magick and Hannah's spear. "Oh well..." He started running. "YAHOO!" He shouted as he jumped.
The Behemoth swatted him out of the air like a fly.
"Uah!" Chris exclaimed as he smacked into a bookshelf. "Ungh... Not my day..."
The Behemoth, meanwhile, turned its sights on the biggest threat to its existence, that being Ri'Rin. With a mighty roar, it charged the mage.
Hannah took the opportunity to leap at the backside, running up it as fast she could and attempt to thrust the spear into it's neck, only to miss as the beast flailed and instead smack its eye, a little too hard. With a sickening squish, the entire shaft slipped into its eye, allowing a bloody mess to spray as Hannah gripped on.

"Shit." Ri'Rin said as she dodged the behemoths charge, crashing into a bookshelf. "Ouch." she rubbed her head as she stood up. "Lets try a different spell... A Shining light from the heavens come, a darkness from hell rise. Black Diamond!" A shining Crystal appeared overhead the beast and a pitch black one under. Then in a split second the changed places, a hole through the side of the beast. "Augh." Ri'Rin said, as a pain shot in her arm. "I haven't mastered that one yet, have I?" she muttered as on knee fell to the ground, she held herself up with her. staff.
(the hole isn't big, think of it as about the size of a baseball.)

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE POINTING THAT THING!!!" Hannah cried as she narrowly avoided the attack. She managed to swing her body on top of its head. "How powerful... Never mind."
She then shifted the spear so that its point was now forward, and suddenly drove it at the Behemoth's neck.
The repeated assaults only seemed to irritate the beast, and to drive the point home, it charged at Ri'Rin, using Hannah as a weapon, it smashed the two women into each other.
"Ergh... Guess this is my show..." Chris mumbled, running at the beast, he slid right under it and stabbed it in the chest, hanging on by its fur as it rampaged, he began to stab it repeatedly.
"AHH! OOF!" Hannah collided with Ri'rin's body, causing them both to smash into another shelf. "D-dammit..." Hannah murmured, feeling her head throb. "As if I wanted to be thrown into a killer."

"Damn beast." Ri'Rin said as she slowly stood up. "That boy is going to get himself killed." She said looking to Hannah. "Get him off the beast and I'll see what I can do to stop it." She said as she grabbed her staff.

"What, so you can showboat and start little fantasies for this poor boy?" Hannah rolled her eyes as she raised her spear. "So be it. Not that I care."
She wobbled upward as she ran towards it with a battle cry, sliding under Chris and the belly, aiding the constant barrage with a penta... octa... dodeca thrust!
This caused the beast to stand on its hindquarters with a roar.
"AH! Now!" Chris said, pulling his knife from the beast's pelt and kicking off of it. "Hit it with your magic-ey-doos, Staff Chick!" He said, rolling on the ground as he landed.

"Here we go." Ri'rin said as she rose her staff. "Awake and deliver your judgement, O' flames of the earth. Firaga!" a Large fireball appeared over her head, then as she tapped her staff on the ground it shot after the beast, blasting it into a shelf. if then lay motionless on the floor. "Is it dead?" She asked coughing she fell back onto the shelf, clearly exhausted.

Hannah, meanwhile, was dazed, unable to understand any thing any one has said.
Of course only because she managed to be flung with the behemoth due to the fact her spear was practically attached to the flesh. The only thing that kept her wide awake, or alive, was the constant abhorrent smell of barbecue and blood from the eyeball dripping onto her face. However, at this point, she was too traumatized to even think of her next motion.
Chris pulled Hannah from the Behemoth, then poked at it a few times. "Nah, it's alive." He said. "Just out cold. So why are ya here anyways? You don't look like one of the scholars, and I know all the scholars here. Actually, they're all a bunch of old men with nothing better to do than stick their heads in books. But you don't seem that way. Still, people don't just wander into the basements here... It's not safe to, I mean."
Blah, blah, blah.
"Shush... for the love of anything, just shush..." Hannah whimpered as she wiped her pants.

"Well leaving it Alive could be a problem later." Ri'Rin said walking over to it. "Let me see that knife of yours." She said extending her arm towards Chris. "Now."

Chris shook his head. "Nah, I don't think this guy's normally aggressive." He said. "Otherwise I'd have known about it. Let's just go." He started up the stairs. "Anyway, what are you doing down here? Who are you? My name's Chris, what's yours? Man, is it hot down here? I mean, stuffy like..."
Blah, blah, blah.
Meanwhile, Hannah ignored the both of them, keeping her eyes closed as she crept up the stairs. 'Can't let her see my eyes... hoped she didn't notice.' She thought as continued. 'She couldn't. It was too dim.' She then opened the door. "Now finally, that vacation I've been wanting."

"Whatever, if someone gets eaten its on your hands then." Ri'Rin said as they walked along. "So your the aide? Tell your master to let me read th books if he's the one in charge, seem that how he acted to me."

"Huh?" Chris asked. "Wait, Yuan sent you too? Oh man, I didn't know he had so many cute friends." He said. "And whaddya mean? Anyone can come in and read anything they want." He said with a tilt of the head.
By then the two heard the door slam. Hannah was already slipping past a book shelf, browsing through the history section. "Aha!!" She grinned, seeking out, 'History of Sunspots and Mythology'.
"Huh? Well, this doesn't seem to go together... oh well." She shrugged as she walked upstairs to lounge. "And thus begins my REAL vacation without anyone interrupting me... no stupid scholars... just reading." She yawned as she hopped into a chair, beginning to open a book... flipping a couple pages.
And Zzzzz...
Thanks to the battle, she didn't stand a chance to read one page.
