Yang grinned as his cage was opened. It had almost looked empty, but now he ran out, smuggly looking at the screaming crowd and the manticore. "Take that, you death-bettin tail kissers!" and with that, he fled west, shiny wings reflecting as he flew.

“Ah, good. Good...”
Lycus hefted his Halberd over his left shoulder. “Haven’t seen you in the barracks. I take it you were a spectator?”
He looked solemnly at the Spiral. “She’s definitely worse for wear... Do you have anything that might help her? Anything at all will do. Oh, and take care not to shoot any high-powered bolts off into the woods. The trees will hide the smoke, but the magic might pass right through the leaves.”

Aurora rolled her eyes at the Pearlcatcher's final words. As if she's stupid enough to do so! However, she kept her mouth shut and instead answered his previous question.
"Yes, I was a spectator." She answered briefly before following the Pearlcatcher's gaze onto the young Spiral. Aurora was more specialised in the combat side of magic, however she had learnt a few potions and spells which could help with health and revival. She began rummaging through her satchel, but paused as she realised she had nothing to help.
"Look, you... whatever your name is. I can help your friend, however I need the correct ingredients for a potion. It's a potion that'll heal any wounds and get rid of any side affects in the span of twelve hours" Explained Aurora as she now began rummaging for something else; a list.
"I'll give you a list of what I need, half I'll take to look for and the other half you can try and find. It'll be faster if the two of us worked. Hmm, let's see... Ah ha!" Taking out a roll of parchment, she unrolled it and circled different words before handing it to the Pearlcatcher. "This is the list. You need to find the following: Roots of Helderberries, two Opaline flowers, Pinkwing Bee's honey, Cockatrice tongue, cobwebs and a couple of Redwyrt berries."

Yang landed after he smelt smoke that wasn't from the arena. Surely none of the captors had gotten this far..As he looked through the trees, he saw that it was the guardian that had freed them, the pearlcatcher that had been talking back to teh audience, and a spiral. HE over heard teh conversation and stepped out quietly. "I feel bad to whatever creature has to donat there tongue to this."

“Roots of... What? Miss, do I look like a grocer to you? You’ll need to be a bit more descriptive... But as for the rest, I don’t think I’ll have any trouble finding them.”
Lycus blinked.
“Bah, forget it. I’ll figure it out!”
“And my name, the one that was my birthright, is Lycus, remember it or not, I don’t care. Most of the time, dragons call me Glaive. Either one is fine with me.”
And with that, he set off, sauntering slowly as his hind legs gave out for a moment.
“Forgive me...” He murmured. “Not used to running for that long... I’m usually kept in a cage. I’ll be back in about... Well, I’d say two hours at most. Hopefully, she’ll hold on.”

Aurora looked at Lycus with pity before nodding. "Good, then don't wait around. The sooner you get everything the better. Oh, and if you have difficulty finding the roots, Helderberries are small shrubs with dark stems and bright purple berries. Careful, don't eat the berries as they're poisonous." She called after him before turning back to the fire and noticing a dragon who looked just as weak as Lycus and his friend. She narrowed her eyes at the dragon.
"Well, would you like to donate your tongue, then?" She asked grimly. Before walking past the dragon and begging to search for her list of ingredients. Let's see... Bark of Wilderwood. Easy enough.

Yang shook his head. "Nope, I like my tongue.
Thanks, also." he mumured, before glancing at teh spiral. It was true, they were defintely not planning to fight anyone soon when they were captored. He just sat down and kept watch of teh spiral and the fire.

Lycus wandered deeper into the woods.
“Roots of Helderberry.... Roots of- Oh!” He stopped as he saw exactly what the Guardian described.
“Poisonous... Great.”
He tore a strip of leather from his bracer, tying a small pouch around the berries.
“Alright, onto the Opaline- ah, whatever it’s called...”
Two and a half hours had passed before Lycus had gathered the ingredients.
“Ah, blast! I can’t see the smoke... I suppose I’ll have to follow my own footprints back...”

Aurora found all the ingredients fairly easily. It had only been an hour after she collected the final thing; Sewer Slug slime. It was a dirty and a non-honourable task, however she done it.
Looking up into the sky, she looked for any sign of smoke. Luckily, she saw a faint misty fume of smoke and flew upwards after the smoke. Whilst flying over the fire, she noticed that Lycus still hasn't returned. Of course. He said it would take at least 2 hours, and Aurora had finished a whole hour ahead.
Landing gracefully, she renewed the fire and took out a small cauldron. While Lycus is away she might as well start with the potion. She began mixing.

Yang quietly watched the guardian warily. She may ahe freed them, but she was obviously not a prisoner. He poked the spiral and made sure she was still alive. Seemed so. Alive was better than dead..hopefully.
