Adminius was initially paralyzed with fear, but he managed to recover. He grabbed Charlottes wrist and charged down the mountainside. He stopped by Alaric and looked at her. "Take Alaric and get out of here. Get a head start. I'll buy you some time. If there is to be an official death of a chosen, let it only be one, and let it be me. I'm the weakest and least familiar with Magic."

"Easily the stupidest plan I've ever heard." She jumped past the demon, grabbing the coin off the ground. "All or nothing. Alaric made a promise and I intend to keep it. Now grab him and run before it decides to attack!" She took off running down the mountain, hoping for a few less heroics.

"Pardon!" A voice came from lower down the mountain. "Adminius?! Someone? Anyone really?"

Adminius blinked at the shout and glanced back at the assassin for a brief moment. He shook his head and hefted Alaric over his shoulders. He dropped to a knee at first, the exhaustion making it hard to carry him, but he forced himself up and charged down the moubtain

"there wasn't a voice." Charlotte kept muttering to herself as she ran. All the same, her legs kept slowing down, bringing her to a halt. She watched Adminius race past her and called abead to him "keep running! I'm right behind you!" She turned on the spot and reached into her pocket. Sure enough, the mask was glowing with a mark she had only seen a few times in old ruins.
Her mind drifted back to something Michael told her and Ellias after a particularly dangerous expedition. "Curiosity killed the cat." How fitting.
"Alright." She whispered, closing her eyes and concentrating on the mask. "What are you?"

The shadowy mass rushed toward her, body hunched and moving unnaturally. It's arm slashed out, fingers like dark glittering daggers. "I'm the world's greatest kept secret, but don't worry. Word always gets out."

Charlotte dodged backward. "Wow okay. I'd love to hear more, but if rather not die. Again." A quick flick of her wrist embedded the dagger in the beasts chest. Another flash of light and the beast was bound in a chord of light. "Always a plan b." She bolted down the mountain again, catching up to Adminius quickly.

Adminius stopped in front of Sam, exhaustion beginning to take him. "Sam... Please... Tell me... You have a way... To get us out of here... Now..."

"Ah. That. Well, I didn't know we'd be needing an escape route or what we'd be escaping from or who these people are or-"
A roar put a stop to Sam's rambling. His eyes widened. "But I imagine a fall from this height is considerably less lethal than that thing!"

Adminius dropped Alaric and fell to his knees. He caught himself, but his arms were shaking and sweat dropped from his face. "Gods dammit... I used way too much magic for not being used to it..."

Charlotte skidded to a halt next to them. "That's debatable." She eyed the mountain up and down warily. "Higher than I thought. Any good ideas Sam?"

"If we had some rope we could make a sling for your friend tall, pale, and unconscious. But as things stand-"
The binding holding the monster in place started snapping. It shook itself and hunched over, turning to the cliff. "You're falling apart, Antioch. It's good I started when I did." It laughed. "Plan B, she says? Try plan C, or D, or removing the alphabet altogether and launching into numbers. Thousands upon thousands of plans... all of them bearing fruit or falling apart and altering themselves." It laughed again, the sound like metal tearing. "I can't wait to see how this plan tastes!"

Adminius' vision blurred. His arms began to shake violently. As he tried to force himself to his feet, his legs have way under the weight, and his vision blacked out completely as he collapse into the snow.

Charlotte's mind began to race. "No rope. Alaric? Useless. Adminius? Out cold. Sam? Not likely. Tools?" She thought of her seal. "No, that didn't work either. Weapons." She had already lost one of her daggers and the other was unlikely to be of use. She turned to Sam. "Do you have any weapons on you?"

He pulled the unfolding sword out of his hat. "I have this."
