Finally Glasye seemed to be giving up - and none too soon either. She pushed him into the entrance of the escape, not knowing about the forcefields, and brought up the rear.
(ooc: thats all for now, lets get going- kail will br able to get the evils through the forcefield just by the rol.)

(There are seven barriers in the tunnel meant to block evils from following the good guys. But you can do what you like with them... things were suddenly wrapping up, so I never did get to do what I was building it for, but small matter. I just didn't want to forget that they were there. Have fun.)

Sunsparkle frowned. Her home was collasping! She had almost never been outside it's purple, now crumbling walls. But, the unicorn was offering to give her a ride out, which was good because she would quickly get behind, and might not even had made it out. She gently climbed on Moonys back hoping not to imvconvience her much. She tried to avert her thoughts of the collasping castle,and the act that losing it meant lossing her home, and not having any where to stay.

(if you have a big plan for them then dont let me stop you! i just figured they were some extra thing and they would discover Siri was evil, but Ksil could hold her as they went through or something so no one was left in the crumbling castle.)

(Um, well, the castle's falling down and Silverfall is MIA, so it's really not that big a deal. Big plans turn into small plans and then bigger plans come about again. But, yeah, Champions can do just whatcha said to get ponies out of the castle. And anyone you want to leave behind you can just stick your tongue out at from the other side of the barriers, lol. It's your tunnel now, baby!)

((um, I'm unsure what to do now... go through to the tunnel or the normal way.))
Moony didn't find Sunsparkle a problem. She was only a child and was fairly light. "Make sure to hold on tight, because I think we will be going rather fast, especially if we are going to have that purple unicorn to lead us."
Silver Shadow nodded. "Coon, which way would you perfer? There is a passage we could take that is rather sturdy. Or we could go the usual way..."
((o.O hmmm...))

Apple dropped to all four hooves. She felt like a little foal again caught with her hoof in the cookie jar.
"I'm sorry." She apologized.
Picking up her basket she tucked into the crook of her injured leg and walked quite steadily on three legs.
"Got it." Apple smiled at Moony, "Thanks for reminding me."
Sticking close to Moony, she waited to see which way they would go.

Coon only thought about it a moment. "The tunnel. With that stallion no longer blocking it we can make it through easier and safer." She headed off in that direction with Wysteria behind her.

(go ahead through the secret opening - everyone will find out that Siri is an evil, which will ruin Kail's upperhand against Glasye, but that will just be all the more fun - perhaps we will just leave him behind )

(ooc:lol, Silver Shadow's got Siri.... when he goes through, it'll all be known. Plot twists are great, aren't they? )

((I wonder if he can or can't go through though. I don't think he can, but maybe I'll let him break through or something... I hope that's ok...))
Moony nodded. "Through the tunnel then. Hold on tight, Princess. Apple Jack? Let's go." The pearly white unicorn made her way to the entrance. "Coming?" She asked Silver Shadow. "You're bringing the indigo, right?"
Silver Shadow nodded. "I'll meet you lot later. Be careful." He said out to her as she raced off after Wysteria and Coon.
((Moony cont. at crumbling castle, something like that.))
He slowly made his way to the first barrier in the passageway. The Red. He remembered clearly about what Silverfall had told him about the defence mechanism, her voice ringing in his ears. "...It's a shadow wall, built of the dark elements. It is attuned to the violet band and can only be broken by the violet band. No other pony of darkness nor any of their minions can walk through it until it is broken, though the powers of the band might pass through..." He turned his head slightly and watched the indigo from the corner of his eye. There was something about her, something that made him very uneasy, and being in front of the wall, made him feel worst.
"Why do I have this feeling that this pony can't go through the barrier?..." He said to no one, not even the elemental spirits, who seemed to be nowhere in sight. Taking a deep breath and remembering that Silverfall said the barrier should let him through, Silver Shadow walked calmly towards the red barrier, but through it, he didn't make it.
The power of the red barrier was preventing him from getting through to the other side, and it clung to him like thousand of hands, pulling him back everytime he tried to take another step out. It was horribly painfully trying to break through, and he began to get tire very quickly. Come'on, Silver Shadow, you can make it... Suddenly the indigo pony slipped of his back, and Silver Shadow pulled free from the barrier and stumbled before steading himself. He gasped for breath for a moment, and looked a the indigo on the other side, who seemed unharmed and didn't wake.
"I don't understand... why can't she..." He slipped through the barrier with relative ease, just as Silverfall had said, and the reason now was obvious why the indigo mare couldn't get through. "She's one of the Evil Ones... the Indigo." Reluctantly, he picked her up and placed her on his back before he stood for a good while, unsure of what to do next. He had two choices, leave the mare or try to break the barriers and take her to the others. The indigo looked inoccent, somehow, but she was still an Evil, no matter what.
((occ: and I'll leave it there and continue next time cause I really have to go. okies ^-^))

((ooc: continuing... Dang this is going to be long.))
After sometime, Silver Shadow decided it would be better off bringing the mare to the others. It didn't matter either way, it seemed. He felt as though the same fate was bound to the mare whichever path was chosen for her. He considered turning back and going though the normal entrance, but from a few sounds earlier, Silver Shadow had the impression that the way he used to get into the bolthole had closed up by parts of the ceiling and there was no way he could go back now. The only way left was through the barriers.
He took a few steps closer to it, and studied it for a while, looking for any weak points. There didn't seem to be a way to go through the barrier with the indigo mare; he now had a basic idea of how powerful the dark elements of that barrier were, and just of how powerful Silverfall and the dark elements were. Silver Shadow didn't want to try to walk through the barrier with the indigo mare again; he already had a taste of what it could do to him, and Silver Shadow still felt rather tired from the last attempt.
"Silverfall said that no evil can go through a shadow wall which isn't its band colour." He said out loud. A few brave gnomes crawled out of the shadows and nodded. "So it doesn't seem that it is possible for the indigo to go through the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet barriers. But then again these shadow walls are only in the tunnel. I can't go back and I can't go through. The only solutions were to go around the barrier or over. Is that possible?" The gnomes looked at each other and shrugged. "Well, then I will have to try and break through, but I don't want to break the barrier because Silverfall put a lot of effort into enchanting these walls, and yet.” He moved closer and studied the edges of the barrier against the wall. “I wonder… the barrier seems to only block the way from the floor to the ceiling and that is all. It doesn’t seem to continue at all… If I asked the earth along the wall to move black and make a gap large enough to slip through, would it then be possible to get through?” The gnomes shrugged again. “Might as well give it a shot then, but let’s test it first.”
Silver Shadow walked up close to the barrier and the wall on his left. He pointed his glowing silver green horn tip at the part of the wall and barrier which were closest to each other, while muttering a few carefully chosen words in an ancient tongue before flicking his horn to the left rather violently. The earth behind the bricks moved back quickly at his command, pulling the bricks back with them and leaving a gap large enough for Silver Shadow to walk through, but the red barrier sealed it off completely after five seconds or so. Now he had a general idea and knew exactly what to do, but he had to go though the gap quickly in order to avoid the barrier preventing him and the indigo mare from going through.
He turned and walked back before turning around again and facing the right side of the wall which was by the red barrier. He made sure he had enough room to start the run up, and prepare the spells at the same time. A handful of gnomes, sylphs and sprite came to him and swarmed around him, ignoring the indigo mare on his back. Silver Shadow smiled and looked at the mare. I sure hope this works, but I wonder what I’m going to do with her after... the Champions of Light will decide that I guess... Pushing the thought aside, his horn began to glow a brilliant silvery-green colour again, and so did the rest of him, though faintly. He turned to look at the barrier and focused his mind on his goal, taking in slow steady breaths, and hoping he had enough strength for this. He closed his eyes feeling the energy flowing around him, the soft words of encouragement whispering to him from the elementals. He snapped his eyes open. He was ready.
The purple unicorn made a start and galloped at great speed towards the part of the right wall that was closest to the red barrier, muttering the spells under his breath at the same time as he made his way towards the barrier and wall, his horn tip pointing directly at corner of the red barrier and the right wall. Once he was close enough, he tossed his head to the right, and the earth moved back suddenly, just as before. Before the red barrier could close up the gap, Silver Shadow slipped through with little injury and the mare still with him. It worked. He held his pace and raced towards the next barrier, doing the same as he did before. The earth moved back, he slipped through the opening and the barrier closed up the gap after he got through. The same thing happened over and over. He gained more cuts and bruises from stray bricks on the walls and he stumbled over when an unexpected and unknown brick was in his path while making his way to the blue barrier, though he was able to keep it up. The cuts and gashes meant little to him, his energy and power was slowly draining away, and Silver Shadow began to find it slightly difficult to keep up the pace as well as the indigo mare on his back. He pushed himself further and further until finally he reached the indigo barrier and passed it using the same strategy as he did with the others.
Relief overwhelmed him once he past the final barrier and he came to a stop, his body trembled all over. Trying his best to stay standing and hearing his heart pounding violently within him, Silver Shadow risked looking back, and was glad to see the indigo barrier still standing and the opening he made completely sealed. The same was with the other six barriers of Silverfall’s, and Silver Shadow couldn’t help but smile although he had to go through a lot of trouble to past them. The indigo mare was surprisingly still on his back and still unconscious. And he was still able to stand and had enough strength to find Wysteria and the others while carrying her at the same time. He tossed his head to put out the green glow that emitted from his horn and stood for a good while. Once his balance was slightly steadier and his breathing and his racing heart had calmed a bit, Silver Shadow slowly made his way out of the bolthole through the forest passage and made his way to the others in front of the castle.

((Bwah! What a munted post... Oh well. The barriers still stand, so if you need em’ they are still there at your disposal. ^-^))

Kail grimaced as Siri fell off SS's back when they tried going through the walls - hopefully Glasye didn't notice and realize that he could kill Siri and Kail would have no choice but to keep him alive. (hint hint, wink wink)
Pushing Glasye before her, she grabbed his shoulder and brought him through the first barrier, her other hoof holding thw dagger sharply at his side.
