Using his arm he pushed himself up, but was extremely shaky. He laid his head on the wall. "I need Cy." Although he said that, he knew Cy wouldn't come immediately, he had his own problems. "I need to get to the guild and get help." He didn't show it, but Uriah was freaking out. He knew he shouldn't have pushed himself that hard, but did anyway. I'm going to die, aren't I?
Luna looked at him worriedly. Was he? Dios no, no no no no no. Not while she was here. She shook her head slowly, "I-I, I-I d-don't th-think h-he c-can a-at th-the m-moment. C-Cy iiis r-really sh-shaken u-up. W-what c-can I-I d-do t-to h-help? P-Please, I-I h-hav- c-can h-help."
"Get Sparrow, with the both of you, you should be able to lift me. Then maybe get a horse and me and you can leave for the guild." If he didn't get help soon, he really would die, and he didn't want to do that, he didn't want to die. And he definitely didn't want to leave Luna behind.
Sparrow looked at Cyrus and slowly walked closer. She put a hand on his arm and kept it there. "Hey," she said softly. "Let's get out of here before we lose it."
Luna nodded and she stood up before going quickly back to the room where Cyrus and Sparrow were. When she entered her eyes were immediately attracted towards the disfigured corpse, before she snapped them to Sparrow and Cyrus. They were filled with an untamed panic from so much having been built up and now fears coming true, "U-Uriah n-needs h-help. I-I, I-I, I-I th-think h-he's d-dying."
Sparrow turned to face Luna and paled. "He cannot die, I dont give him permission!" Sparrow yelled and ran out of the room to find Uriah leaning against the wall. "What happened?" She asked

Cyrus had his head buried in his hands. He was shaking a bit, but he tried to get back up. He needed to help, and it was true that they needed to leave.
“Okay, we can-“
He tried to get up, but it was all hurting worse than before. Cyrus grabbed for the crutches he’d been using and had to rely on them for support. His knee was incredibly swollen, and he probably couldn’t move it at all. He was very dizzy from the blow to his head, too.
Through his pain, Cyrus said, “Yeah… let’s just go…”
He made his way into the hall to see Uriah.
All Uriah could do was smile. Talking took to much energy, more than he had. He was so tired. It was hard to keep his eyes open at this point. "Sleep." He managed to mumbled. He wanted nothing more then to sleep. Finally his eyes closed, and his body stared to fall.
“Uriah?”
Cyrus’ voice started to fail.
“Don’t you dare go to sleep on us!”
He launched himself towards Uriah, even though everything hurt.
“Uriah… no… please don’t do this…”
Luna rushed out after Sparrow and watched as Uriah started to fall. Her eyes were wide with panic as Cyrus launched himself at Uriah and she wanted to do the same. Her mind started to slip back into it's earlier panic, but she slapped her wrist to keep her focused. She looked around the hall still wide-eyed, "W-we n-need t-to g-go. I-If, i-if… Y-yeah."
Sparrow looked in all her pockets for anything she could use to try and help him but found nothing. "Wait!" She suddenly realized. "I left all my bags and supplies at the edge of the forest before heading inside the guild." She stood up and looked around frantically "let's go!"
“Okay,” Cyrus said bluntly, “Let’s hurry.”
He was cradling Uriah’s body close to him as he sat there.
“Can… can you two take him? I don’t know if I can…”
"8m not exactly the strongest, but if he uses me as a crutch, I can probably help him outside." She said uncertainly.
"I-I c-can h-help t-to," Luna told them both, "C-carrying h-him I-I m-mean."
"We can be human crutches. We need to go quickly though, we may get caught." She said, looking around nervously. This jail was messing with her head.
“Yeah… If we do, I’m hoping we can talk our way out of it,” Cyrus said, “Maybe if they realize he’s gone… Some of them have no reason left to fight.”
Luna gave a quick nod and leaned down to try and lift Uriah up. The walls were closing in on her again and she needed to get out as much as Uriah did, for different reasons of course.
Sparrow helped Luna pick Uriah up and started walking towards the door, pausing to check the hallway before continuing to manoeuvre through the guild
Luna didn't want to pause and check, she wanted to get out. But she let Sparrow check as she helped Uriah along, oh dios he couldn't die now. There was still so much more to do in life for him. He had a whole life ahead of him if anything take Luna instead. She's lived a good enough life right?
Cyrus kept an eye out for any potential danger, staying a bit behind the others.
His heart had a horrible sinking feeling to it, and he just wanted it to stop. Now wasn’t the time for that.
(Pretending the proofed outside…)
Sparrow set Uriah against a tree before going deeper in the forest to grab her supplies and coming back. "I dont have much but I have bandages, some ointment, and things to start a smoke less fire." She said laying everything out and stepping back. "Can this help, Cyrus?"
“I don’t know… I just… I don’t know what to do. Maybe the antidotes didn’t do their job. Maybe they just haven’t done it yet. Either way, I don’t know what happened to him. But he’s probably very dehydrated, and I’m sure we can help that at least,” Cyrus said, his voice weighed down with a strange weariness.
"Are you–are you okay Cyrus? Why dont you take a seat and the two of us will try to fix both of you up. I'll go get some water." She said standing up and walking towards the Bush where her stuff was.
Luna was next to Uriah the entire time. She was worried and tired but relieved they were out of there. She looked up at Cyrus and Sparrow wearily understanding they were all tired, but this needed to happen. Otherwise sh- they would loose Uriah, "M-Maybe h-he p-pushed h-himself t-to f-far."
“I’m not feeling great, but I don’t think it’s anything dangerous,” Cyrus replied, “I’ll take care of it all later, when I actually can. For now, Uriah is definitely our priority.”
Cyrus clenched his fist.
“And yeah, after I told him repeatedly to stop pushing. Too stubborn for his own good.”
Luna gave a slight nod and pushed herself up off the ground. She looked at Cyrus, "H-he r-really i-is. A-Are y-you s-sure y-your f-fine? I-I'm n-not j-just t-talking ph-physically."
Sparrow came back with a thing of water and shaked it. "I have a little bit of water but I think it'll be enough for him." She said
“I didn’t say I was fine,” Cyrus replied softly.
He watched Sparrow closely.
“Yeah, just a few sips should do it for now, assuming he can keep everything down.”
Sparrow raised the top of the bottle to his lips, dropping some water before turning to Cyrus and looking at him. "We did it. We rod the world of Panther."
Luna gave him another nod and moved so Sparrow could get to Uriah. She didn't want to leave either Uriah or Cyrus's side from her own internal fear and guilt. Maybe they wouldn't be in this spot if she hadn't gotten caught when they first went into Panther's to get the kids and Uriah.
