"Oh, right. Let me get that for you."
Katie pulls out the massive sword from earlier, trying to cleave the chain in half.

"I guess it's up to us here." Thoren tightens the grip on his scythe. "on my count, we attack together." Thoren winks and subtly hastens time for Katie for just long enough for her to notice it, returning it back to normal right after. He faces the enemy and prepares to dash to the left.

Katie nods, dropping time to a "cinematic" 1milisecond a second for everyone else. She dashes to the right and towards the Scrouge, readying the massive sword for an ungodly, Super Smash Bros. Brawl!Link Final Smash style, combo attack.

"NOW!"
Thoren dialates time so he and Katie are able to move faster than anything else in the room.
Red afterimages follow and fade behind the two of them. Thoren prepares to unleash his blazing fury against the tattered heir with his flaming scythe, making sure to stay synchronized with Katie.
Patrick and the group make their way further into the cave, following the glowing thread towards the distant thumping. it can be felt through the ground with each footstep. Probably a little creepy. The hall twists and turns for quite a while. The glowing thread seems to be shining brighter than usual, glistening with Determination.
Meanwhile, on Thoren's side, Anetheia might be able to feel it radiating from him.

Raine seems unable to hear the Lady in White's words. The despair that blooms in her heart has taken root again and is not letting go any time soon.
Perhaps this sleep was a sleep she could never wake from.
And yet, something strange is happening.
On her chest, where the symbol of her aspect is, glows with the color of Rage.

Katie stays in perfect sync with her "partner" as she starts to begin the attack.
The three continue to walk towards their destination, Kcirtap keeping her cannon aimed ahead of them while *Aperture keeps his V-Buster aimed behind them.

Slashslashslashslashslashslashslashslash! Thoren mercilessly swings his flaming scythe over and over and over at the tattered heir, alongside Katie's similar attack. At the point where they finally stop, Thoren bellows something in a deep enough voice to sound regular at a normal speed. "GET OUT." And with that, they do the last powerful swings together with great force, shattering the time dilation as things turn back to normal speed right after impact!
 Meanwhile, Patrick's crew happen upon a heart shaped house at the end of the trail. The door is cracked open enough to let the determination-laden thread snake its way inside. Waves of red energy pulse outwards from the house in time with the sound of the heartbeat. |

FLord finds himself deep in a maze.
"Okay... what the fuck. I swear I was in the castle. But. Now. I'm. Here."
"...I can literally see the top of the maze walls and could probably hop over, but I don't know if there are any death turrets that would shoot me down if I did that."
"...shit. Thoren is probably double dead because of me. fuck."

Katie quickly dashes away out of range in case of a counterattack.
The trio slowly enter the door, in the order of: Kcirtap, Patrick, and then *Aperture.

Thoren also dashes back, in the opposite direction.
Inside of the heart house... there is a living room, with warm red couches, chairs, and tables. There is a bunch of framed photographs of various people hung up on the walls. Somewhere in a corner there is a small shrine with two black candles, a photograph of Chronos, and an offering of cookies and milk in front of it. On the main coffee table, there is a picture of Kat there. The frame seems to be glowing with urgency.
In the main cushy red chair, there is a shining red orb of light sitting in it. A red outlined figure occupies the space, holding a glass heart container close to him. The thread links to the heart container. There is a round window on the other side of the room. It shows a long succession of rising stone stairs being climbed. There are strange lines of oddly readable and certainly familiar glyphs along the walls. Many of them have discouraging messages of being unwelcome, but they seem to he mostly ignored.
What will you do?

FLord, making his way through the maze, swears that he hears a voice and some footsteps, but can't make it out entirely. Running faster, he comes across... a portal.
"...Did they go through here?"
Entering the portal, they exit back to where they were... and can hear themselves.
"shit."
He runs quickly onto another path, only peeking out when he hears his past self enter the portal.
"...well, that could have gone horribly. what the hell is with this place."

The flames burning around the heir engulf it almost completely, red crackles jumping through the air every so often. As Thoren and Katie close in the grip on its weapon tightens, the creature sinking into a defensive position. In an instant they cross a span between it and them, and in a few more they proceed to lay into it with a series of attacks faster than the eye can perceive, or even it is seems. Katie's blade makes a clean cut, Thoren's scythe making many more in his frenzy, and in the moment of incredibly slowed time it seems defenseless.
But through it all the flames burn.
Jerkily against the slow speed it just moved at, it lashes out with a defense, knocking one of Katie's incoming slashes away. A few more make their way through, all of Thoren's strikes landing their mark and calling up spurts of black flame as the heir seems to rebel against the slowed time for increasingly frequent bursts to deflect some of Katie's incoming strikes. At least, Thoren's all hit their mark, and his final blow sends the heir flying backward with a resounding shatter.
It lands a foot away, skidding backward before coming to a stop. Not blood, but static drips from the wounds Katie left, the wounds Thoren landed... Scratches. And it turns its gaze up from the ground to look on the two, arms on its back erupting in black flame that those hooked hands form into a rough collection of static and black flame as it stabs its weapon into the ground hard enough to embed before drawing it upward with a slash tears a wave of sheer force through the ground, scattering chunks of ground in its wake as it rushes toward Katie. As all around the flames continue to burn.

Katie flashsteps over to the Woman in White, slowing down the heir enough to be able to talk.
"We need to do some kind of combo-attack on him. Do you have any ideas?"
