I'VE BEEN SCARED OF SLEEPING WITH THE LIGHTS ON ♡ RESCUE RAID

[LUMIA CIPHER.]

It was time to get the hell out. The Coalition's prisoner caverns were dank and suffocating, and Lumia had no desire to be down in the tunnels any longer than she had to. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't alone as she went running for Vayne's cell, another creature coming into view as she ran along. A wolf... a Coalition wolf. The young Cipher didn't think for a second that Ravenwood was down near the cells to get Vayne out. Instead, she figured he had rushed down there with the intention of moving the prisoners, so that they would be harder for The Typhoon to find. The middle of a raid wasn't exactly the ideal time to stop and ask questions, either. So, without a second thought, Lumia scooped up one of the nearby rocks into her paw, rushing up behind Ravenwood. She let out a brief snarl before she brought the rock down as hard as she could onto his head. It was enough to send him crashing into the ground, but not enough to kill or permanently wound him.

As Lumia looked at the canine she had managed to bring down, she found herself pausing. That face... this was the wolf that had been captured before, right? The one that Vayne had told her about? The one that had been kind? Shit. A litany of curses left the privateer in that moment, and she simply grumbled as she stepped over him. Well, she would have to deal with that in a moment, for now, her attention was solely on the cell in front of her. The one with Vayne. As she stepped closer, she spoke very softly to her niece, "Hey, Vayne... sorry it took a while to get you out. But we're here... now come on." She then rose her paws up, pressing them against the metal bars. The air once more grew cold as a giant chunk of ice grew between the bars of [member=16148]VAYNE C.F.M.V..[/member]'s cell, forcing them apart wide enough that the girl would be able to get out. As she stepped back, Mia muttered, "I want you to run, alright? Don't even think about staying out on that battlefield. Just bolt towards The Typhoon... please. I wouldn't forgive myself if you got even more hurt." She then leaned forward to touch her nose lightly to the top of Vayne's head, a heavy sigh leaving her once more.

With Vayne freed... that meant she had to deal with Ravenwood. She couldn't just leave him to rot near the cells, and she honestly didn't trust the Coalition to take care of him properly. If he was truly kind, as Vayne had said... then he'd be better suited for The Typhoon. At the very least, he could get better care there from Roan, and anyone else with medical skills. She couldn't very well get him back there in this form, though. She hadn't really done much with her shapeshifting abilities before but... there was a first time for everything. So, the feline closed her eyes, focusing until she felt her body begin to grow. Legs became longer, muscles became larger, and it wasn't long before a lioness was standing in the place where Lumia had been, same wheat colored fur and all. After a moment to get her bearings, Mia stepped forward over to where Ravenwood laid unconscious, leaning down to take his scruff in her mouth. She lifted the canine up without all that much fuss, a grunt leaving her as she turned and headed back, out of the caverns. She moved at a brisk pace, even with Raven essentially half-dangling and half-dragging from her jaws.

As soon as she was out of the caverns where the prisoners were held, Lumia turned and heaved Ravenwood up onto her back, making sure he was secure. Once he was, she took off in a full sprint away from the battlefield, and away from the Coalition's territory entirely. She didn't hesitate for even a moment, not wanting to give anyone a single chance to attack her or try and grab Ravenwood. It wasn't long before she had disappeared into the treeline, off in the direction of The Typhoon's territory.
