[Closed] The Aerial Exploration Syndicate (RP for Non-Anthros that can fly)

[Angder]

Tan pauses. Nervously looking around. He saw no reason to acknowledge Raz's whimpers  "Did anyone else feel that." He asks, before glancing across to the far side of the room, then down, under the bridge, before turning to face Raz, finally twigging something might be wrong. "Raz? Whats wrong?"

[Niphi]

Niphi follows the group silently, her fur standing on end as her eyes scan back and forth, looking for any movement in the shadows.
As the group come across the bridge in the strange cavern, Niphi leans over the edge and sniffs at the stagnant air, her ears twisting from side to side, listening out for the slightest sound before turning to the whimpering form of Raz and giving him a calculating look up and down, "We can't stay here. Whatever this place is, it certainly isn't safe for any of us."
She leans down and insistently nudges at Raz's side, urging him to get to his feet, "You just have to take one step at a time," she strains as she pushes under Raz's form, giving him a hand to get up to his feet, "Just one... step at a time," she gasps as she strains with his weight.

[Razuel]

Raz groaned as he was helped up, taking his time walking, feeling bad for Niphi, so he tries to keep as much of his weight off of her as possible, which was close to almost half his weight, however, the question of how much longer he'd be able to stay awake is one that was on his mind.

Raz would blink slowly as he walked along, grunting with each heavy step from himself.

[Sarrus]

Sarrus stops and turns back to face the group, watching with concern as Niphi helps the struggling Raz. Something seems to condense in the air just behind his head, like a thin black wisp of shadow.

Seeing the group looking past him at this strange force, Sarrus turns for a moment to try and get a look at it but as soon as he does it darts for him, the wisp splitting into two and going directly into his eyes.

Sarrus recoils in shock, thrashing his head around to try and throw the shadow away but it does not come loose, embedding itself into him.

The thrashing grows progressively worse until the drake's whole body is convulsing then, suddenly, he goes still and turns to face the group. His eyes have gone pitch black, almost invisible among his black scales and a horrible, twisted grin spreads across his face as he eyes his comrades unblinking.

[Angder]

Tan looks over at Sarrus, "Sarrus, what just ha~" Tan notices the grin. Sensing danger, he begins to back off, taking a quick glance behind him at Niphi and Raz to make sure they also had realized the danger.

[Razuel]

Raz raised his head to look at Sarrus, and his eyes went, "S-Sarrus?", Raz said in a tired but concerned tone
