Septima carefully used her magic to scrape and seat away at the mortar holding the bricks together. First, she got a pinhole going, then broke into it just enough that she could peer through with one eye. It appeared that there was someone in the cell.
Skye kept a close eye on her, filling in Arthur as they went.
Skye, this looks like our way in, if that guy can unlock the door. But there's a prisoner here. We don't want to raise a riot or anything. I managed to recover some of his vision. If I work some more, I should be able to increase the clarity. It's just a matter of approaching this guy.
She kept working at the bricks, careful to be as quiet as possible.
Right, if you need me to step in I will. he said, watching her actions.
Okay. Advise me as you see fit, too.
Septima worked one of the bricks free and slowly pulled it back. At this point, she expected some response from the person on the other side of the wall, but they didn't move. Perhaps they were asleep.
She worked at the rest of them until they were free, but this person still did not wake.
Septima looked around for any sign of a guard, and when she was certain she saw no one, she put an illusion on herself to bend light and shadow to hide her as she approached the person. They should probably know about the plan before Skye passed out the front door of the cell.
As she drew closer, she realized that this person was very small and young, and perhaps not merely resting. For a moment, a numb rush of fear went down Septima's limbs, but when she bent down, she found that they were alive, even if barely so and gasping for air.
Skye… This child… This poor, poor child…
Skye could see it, and he hated it. Septima… we might be able to save them… he said quietly, It's not a good idea, but It's possible…
We should wait until you’ve infiltrated, but yes.
She shifted forwards.
Yeah, just wait so none of the guards think there’s anything amiss. But perhaps we can take the kid back to the suite and hide them there.
She leaned down closer to see the features of the child. It was a little girl, about 10 years old, but her hair had been roughly chopped off, and her features were somewhat hard to discern because of the wounds and blood on her face.
Bringing her here isn;t going to do much good, but we can save her, but I need you to let me take control for a moment.
Take control? What do you mean? Septima asked, alarmed, Do what you must, but…
I can channel some of my power through you to help her, but it requires me taking control of your body for a moment. It'll feel extremely weird, and channeling my aura might sting, but you won't be hurt.
Alright then. Sounds sketchy as hell, but I trust you. Also I have an illusion up to make sure I’m unseen, so keep that in mind.
Right… he said, gently letting his power flow over the other, gently pushing her mind into the 'back seat.'
(She can still feel, see, hear, smell, ect. but she has no control.)
(Alright, got it!)
Septima felt almost rigid for a moment as Skye took her over. She tried to move an arm, just to test, but nothing happened. It was almost like being paralyzed, up until Skye started moving for her. Then she felt practically like a puppet.
Just relax, don't try to do anything.. he told her quietly, staying in the same position to let her adjust to the new sensation, and to allow himself to get his bearings.
Okay. It feels a bit odd, but it’s fine.
You should try being on my end… biologically it feels unusual. finally he took a deep breath summoning a violet aura, aware of the slight sting from summoning it.
What, being both female and human? Septima asked. She went to take a breath, but realized she wasn’t even in control of that.
The girl part feels weird…. but we're not gonna go there.. he said, Remember I am half human, so on that side it's no diferent, just dulled senses and no shifting.. he added, before pressing their hands to the girls forehead and chest, pushing the voilet Aura into her carefully. The aura itself surged, and immense power that Skye hadn't shown before, now visible.
I would imagine so.
She watched as a glow came from her hands, but not exactly hers. It was a magic sensation, but different from her own powers by a good bit.
(Just bumping to make sure you didn't miss my post, since I've seen you on. No rush to reply, though!)
(AHHG Thanks for bumping, I lost this in a device switch, sorry… honestly feel free to bump at any time I think I have too many Rp's)

Skye let the powerful Aura flow into the small child, strengthening the child's life aura, which in turn steadied her breathing.
(Lol it's fine! It happens!)
Septima fell quiet as she switched to purely watching what Skye did. Her thoughts were nearly blank.
Skye finally sat back, forcing control over his auras again, and soon it was like they were never there.
Septima was completely still for a few moments, then realized that she was the one in control again.
Everything go alright? she asked, Are you okay?
