He blushed, opening his mouth to say something, but I pressed my lips against his. He smiled against my lips and kissed me back.

"HEY, ORION! You better not be kissing Celestia up!" Hunter called.

"Maybe if you stopped talking and did more darkness killing we'd break this stupid wall of darkness!" Finn shouted.

"Would you two just work together on this and stop bickering?" Theo yelled.

"Dearest! I'm coming!" Cairus called out.

"Orion’s already on the other side and you're still trying to act like a hero," Caio huffed.

"Hey! I tried! Not my fault I don't have pretty light magic like Orion!" Cairus argued.

"Bru! Bru-REE!" Arielle sang.

"Ah! Arielle, no fire! No, hot! Ow!" Finn whined.

We pulled apart, sharing a look before we both laughed.

"The rescue team has arrived," Orion announced.

I glanced at his wings, reaching out to touch them. They were so soft and I could sense their magic. "Aren't you going to hide these? They don't know, do they?" I asked.

"Finn knows. The others, no. I guess I can leave them in the dark for a little longer," Orion replied. He closed his eyes; his wings spread out before tucking into his back and faded away. "There," he confirmed, opening his eyes.

I smiled, blinking as my vision blurred. "I don't think I can...stay up for long," I confessed.

Orion nodded, pulling me into his arms and lifting me up with ease.

"Leave it to us to find a way out. Just rest," Orion encouraged.

I nodded, letting my head settle against his chest. I tried to keep one eye open, wanting to see how we would get out of here.

Orion took a deep breath as he closed his eyes.

"LIGHTA DESTROYANA!" he shouted.

Loud hiss noises came from the door and a wide white magic circle appeared. In a flash, the darkness was gone, the bathroom returning to its original appearance.

"Got it!" Cairus announced, opening the door. He tripped, falling over with Caio while Theo, Hunter, and Finn tried to squeeze in the space behind the twins.

"CELESTIA!" they all called out.

I gave them a weak smile. "Hey, guys. I think you missed the party," I announced.

"Dammit, Orion. You stole the show!" Cairus huffed.

Caio rolled his eyes. "Who was the one that took their sweet time trying to figure out a logical way to kill all those Forsaken in the hall?" Caio sighed.

"Maybe we should get out of here before more come," Orion suggested.

I glanced up, noticing he looked tired and his face was paler than normal.

"Good point. Orion looks exhausted and we're all reaching our limits," Theo confirmed.

Caio and Cairus stood up, walking over to get my dual swords that were in the corner of the room.

"BRU-REE!" Arielle flew into the room, fluttering around me and Orion.
