For nearly two days the brave quest takers have been sequestered at the sullied Temple and its grounds, the thick jungle and swamp preventing them from leaving. There are faint tremors that run through the ground and in the middle of the third night, the ground gives a great heave, jostling everyone from their rested states. In one of the Temple rooms, a sinkhole has appeared to reveal not spongy ground beneath, but a dark tunnel leading down into the earth. It doesn't take much to widen the entrance and follow the gentle downward slope that leads out to the north, and a walk of about two hours (which surely would feel like longer to those who don't enjoy being trapped in low, dank places) leads them under the swamp itself. By the time the tunnel slopes upward, the muddy ground has turned hard and packed with small chips of rock and sand; the terrain above is changing and as they emerge upward through a fissure in the ground...

"Oh, you know, just taking a vacation inside a bottle filled with evil fog, giant mosquitos, and dragons."

She struggles to catch her breath as the impact knocked all of the window out of her. But she still manages to give him a glare.

"Oh, and someone who has a terrible tendency to get himself into trouble decided he needed to vacation there too!"
skybluejeep: (Ugh)

"I'm not here on vacation!" he protests, sitting up fully, before taking her hand and leveraging himself to his feet. They have to get to safer ground. Now.

"You can't be here!" he hisses at her, desperately worried about her. "You should be home. You don't have any training. You can't fight!"
detectus: (stiles intensifies)

"Good! Because neither am I!" She snaps back at him as they stand. Which is difficult as a roar from the dragon shakes the entire ground. "And last I checked, neither did you! And don't tell me you've learned things here and are planning to karate chop the dragon's pinkie toe! You can't-" She drops her voice into a hiss. "You can't heal like Scott and Isaac! If he stomps on you, it's going to be bad."

"Um, actually I do have training! I've been training with Batman!"

And wow, out of context that sounds so absurd. But he continues.

"I'm not gonna get stomped on. This isn't...this fight. It's not necessary. Milyn said it was a cleansing, not a fight. We don't have to kill anything. We have to fix it."
detectus: (blunt cake)

Lydia's look back tells him that she is definitely on the side of considering it completely disturbed.

"That still doesn't erase the chance of being stomped on. Or eaten. I don't think the dragon understands that you're doing it a favor."

There's another shiver in the ground below them, and Stiles pulls her further away, away from the carnage. Lydia's been through enough, she shouldn't have to see all this.

"But...Lydia. You really shouldn't be here. Please, go home. I've got this, okay?"

He's gripping her shoulders with both hands, a very disturbed and concerned look on his face. The last thing he wants is this girl subjected to horrors and strife. She's been through enough.
