There was a pressure on Alister’s body. It was heavy and dead. At first, he thought nothing of it. It was warm too, and comforting. He was not used to touch like this. However, this fact, and as the pressure continued, he was pulled further and further into consciousness.
Immediately, he remembered, and his eyes shot open. Well, mostly. He remembered Evan. Evan had passed out. And before that, Noel passed out. Noel. Noel. A groan rumbled in his throat, and everything immediately started aching. Despite that, he pushed against the body he now knew was Evan’s, and sat up.
“El. El.” He rubbed and shook her shoulders, and his sister stirred. He tried to wake up Evan as well, but as he looked around, he spotted Ignis and Kali coming through the temple exit.
“You’re here,” he called. “Evan’s in trouble!”

Ignis approached quickly, hearing the sound of desperation made him panic. Ignis lifted Evan gently, his weight made weightless, "Evan. Wake up."

Kali rushed over as well, hearing that something was wrong. To be fair, none of them looked at all good, they all looked extremely tired or worn out. Evan looked bad and so did Noel, but she had no idea what could be wrong.

Evan moved around in ignis's arms, not waking up for a good bit.

Ignis, seemingly calm and methodical, carries Evan, "there is nothing here for us now. I…we..need to return to the safehouse."

“I… I think he suffered from heatstroke.” Suddenly a tightness and emotion clouded his mind. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault.”
He took Noel in his arms as well, despite the aching in his muscles. She looked fine, but still drained from previous events.

Alister then looked up, remembering something. “Ignis, please. I— I think there is something for us here. I— we sensed something. Beyond the trees.”

"I said we're done here. Spend the next six generations searching the globe for something you felt all you want. I am done. Evan needs further rest and examination…." He was afraid. He knew that. Ignatius felt it. He was sure everyone knew, just not why. The fear Ignis felt was genuine fear, "The Air seal could already be broken. Arcanis isn't even here, so perhaps there IS nothing left."

“No.” His sister’s voice shocked him out of his thoughts. “Air… Air will lead us to the seal. I’m sure.”
Noel patted Alister’s shoulder, and he let her down. Though at first she seemed steady, she soon had to lean on him.
“You can leave, and take Evan with you. But I believe I know where to go.”

Kali stared at ignis is confusion, she knew that Ignatius was scared but surely air wasn't as bad as the both of them were making them out to be.
"Ignis, we can stay a little longer. We are stronger as a group."
She sighed, she really didn't want to split up bit evan needed help.
"Are you two sure you can do this?' Ahe turned to them.

(?)

Nothing lol

Ignis stood there with Evan in his arms. Before they ventured too far, he caught Alsiter by the arm, and handed him a pulsing orange crystal, "Just…crush it…when you have the need for help. I…am sure Air will be nice to you, Arcanis is a story I cannot be sure of. If he were to…cause trouble…crush it."

Alister took the crystal, but he kept his eyes on Ignis. He could sense the fear rolling off of the man in waves, and it affected his own mood. Wind blew through the area, causing the temperature to drop.
“Thank you,” he said, as calmly and sincerely as he could manage. “I will.”
Noel glanced between both Ignis and Kali. “We can. I just can’t guarantee that we will come back… the same. I think..” her eyes flickered to her brother. “I think we have already changed.”

She sighed,
"alright…we will meet you outside of the air temple, head back as soon as you find what your looking for." She didn't do anything phsyical bc well she wasn't good with that kind of stuff.

Ignis turns to Kali, "You're…not going with them?" His eyes droopy and tired. While firmly holding Evan, even Ignis felt the energy leaving quick. Annoyed, afraid, angry, even possessed by older versions stresses his mind. He couldn't tell them, not even Kali.
Overusing my magic? He thought, Ha! I've spent years using it, simple moving and casting is nothing! But it was all I could think of. I couldn't tell them…the flame is burning out…

She shook her head,
"no, I'm keeping you safe, along with Evan. I don't want you to pass out or anything. Plus I still need to make sure your not over taxing your body. You look exhausted.'
She spoke as she made her way over to him and moved to walk away from the twins.

Ignis then realized how tired he appeared to be and, with almost complete failure, tries to compose himself, "I am not exhausted… Just-"
His eyes return to the warm orange glow. Confused he looks down at Evan, "Dark…why am I holding him?"

She sighed face palming
"How many times are the two of you going to swap in and out? It's going to be a pain if your going to continue like this." She muttered.
"Your holding him because he's not doing well and he can't wake up so he can't walk.'
