Theon stood watching the filthy skaa file past, his eyes narrowed. The mist began to curl out from nowhere, and he rushed the skaa on. There was that one man he had tripped yesterday, who had glared at him. Theon clenched his teeth.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Ryder's path brought him near Theon, and he realized it almost instantly. He tried to push away, but the panicked wall of skaa prisoners blocked his path.

[echolight4eva]

Theon watched Ryder as he was swept past, smirking somewhat. He stood up somewhat straighter, caressing the handle of his whip.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Ryder grunted in surprise when someone bumped into him with a rather large amount of force, sending him stumbling sideways... toward Theon. Only the worst luck in the world could have caused him to stagger right into the guard who already hated him.

[echolight4eva]

Theon gave a yell when Ryder fell against him, stumbling backwards. He immediately struck the skaa in the head again, near the place where he had hit him previously.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

With the spot tender from where he'd been hit before, the pain was just that much worse. Ryder fell to his knees, unable to see. He didn't need to see to remember where Theon had been standing, though. With a cry of rage, he propelled himself back to his feet and tackled Theon to the ground.

[echolight4eva]

Theon cried out in fury when the skaa tackled him. Another guard tried to run to help, but Theon waved him off. "Stay back!" The mists were almost upon them, the sun nearly gone from the sky.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Still half-blinded, Ryder swung his fists wildly, aiming for Theon's face.

[echolight4eva]

The blow connected and his lip split, blood spurting to the surface. Theon touched the wound in shock before throwing himself at Ryder, wildly hitting the man with his fists.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Ryder wished he had some zinc to burn. He might be able to start a riot among the other prisoners, giving him a distraction to escape. As it was, he only had his fists and strength to rely on. He rolled away from Theon after a few punches hit him--one on his left shoulder and another right in his gut. He scrambled to his feet, ready to attack him again, but something made him pause. The sun was gone, and now the only light came from the faintly glowing mists that crept in around them.

[echolight4eva]

Theon stood up, clenching his fists and holding them at the ready before he, too, noticed this. He couldn't even see the housing. He cursed under his breath. "This is all your fault, skaa."

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

"Maybe you shouldn't hit me," Ryder said furiously. "I've ensured your disregard and abuse long enough."

[echolight4eva]

"You were sent here to die! I was speeding the process along!" he said with equal anger. "So now what're we going to do? We are lost!"

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

"Now we try to survive," Ryder said. He looked around slowly, realizing the same thing Theon had: there was nothing in sight. He could see the forms of a few trees, but nothing else. And the mists were starting to swirl around them.

[echolight4eva]

"Shelter first," he said quietly, looking around carefully.
