Re: Harmony and the Void (BlueSlime) GMed by Takimaru
Ruby's grip upon her winged foe grew harder and harder to maintain as it began to struggle more wildly. She felt it losing altitude gradually, but there would still be enough time--probably--to make it back to the ship. Willing her flames to spur the gargoyle towards the sinking Bane, she felt herself move in that direction a little more urgently, though the monster still wrenched its limbs in various ways to try and shake her off. By the time she had made it within a stone's throw of the vessel, she felt herself drop suddenly, as the creature suddenly looked to have lost some strength.
Then, she spotted a familiar face in Verde, who had just finished using an oar to expertly bat a pair of mermen off of the edge. He turned to see Ruby in flight, and moved quickly, clambering up the rear mast and grabbing hold of a rope there. But the kunoichi felt her ride starting to falter, and thus she had to swing and leap for the edge. She felt herself snatched up just in time by the green-haired monk, who had managed to catch her while swinging from one of the boarding ropes. He swung around back to the deck, where the two landed on a rather lopsided surface. The ship was caving in at the center now, and the storm had only grown more violent. A flash of lightning and a low rumble shook her surroundings.
At the same time, Noir's sentiments about the situation could be felt. These portals were hardly predictable as to what opened and closed them, and at what rates--and even then, the main one was likely underwater, far from any feasible reach of the group. Their only hope was to escape somehow, but that looked less and less likely with each passing moment. The mermen and gargoyles dwindled in number somewhat thanks in part to the pirates' efforts, but escape would be impossible while the immense, tentacled horror still lived.
Ruby could see Noir in the distance, upon another broken part of the ship, which just separated from hers with a creak. The pale woman stopped for a moment, turned to look at her, and then looked down towards the surface of the water. The Fire Lotus suddenly felt a warm embrace from her Mistress, as if she were right next to her, even though it was Verde holding onto her as they both began sliding down the sinking deck. The vampire quickly dodged a strike from one of the huge tendrils, then began to run down along its side before disappearing into the water in a black blur and a small splash.
At that point, Ruby felt what her domme was feeling. Suddenly, it was as if her five senses had expanded to include several extras. The vibration of things living, to various degrees, could be felt in her bones. One sound proved to be the loudest. A pulse... no, a heartbeat, echoed from deeper within the sea, closer to the source of all the tentacles. It had to be stopped if there was any chance of escaping this disaster. She felt Noir sinking her claws into the tentacle she was on, drawing herself down deeper, closer to the source. There, she would have to find a way to make it stop. The connection they shared grew weaker for some reason. Was Noir's own consciousness somehow fading? It was hard to tell. All Ruby knew was that her domme had hardened her resolve, and was sinking deeper into the ocean for her sake.
By the time their connection had faded, the Fire Lotus heard the words; "Find me."
It was then that Verde grabbed her and swam furiously towards one of the remaining boats, upon which three Talean sailors could be seen trying to fend off a foursome of mermen.
