Now Dago felt the need to backtrack a bit, she hadn’t even hurt him very badly and now he was spilling information! A damn plan would make this so much better! He’d have to play it by ear now; she has a tiny bit of information and now that he thought about it, she wasn’t going to let him go at all. She’d probably drag him along and throw him at Dimitri’s feet and laugh at his traitor.
Her fucking knee was driving into his back as well, it was starting to hurt him and his shoulders were cramping up. This was a severely annoying situation and if he managed to even get out ALIVE, let alone still a mage of the order with his pride; he deserved a fucking medal.
“There are waypoints for those who miss their exit portals,” he said, “I’m pretty sure there is one near here you can get through.”
He didn’t mention what they looked like or how they worked, he hoped she’d be hasty and forget about details like this.

Perfect. The woman was even happier now. So there was a waypoint close by here. "Do you know where it is?" she asked cheerfully. "Like, exactly where?" Her tone of voice implied that if he did know, then she wouldn't tear off any limbs.
A plan was forming in her head, now. It had been before, but now it was beginning to be refined. Now it just had to work- Although she wasn't the type to strictly follow a plan, she was certainly capable of it. It just wasn't as fun! But having to face her boss was less fun than doing things the pragmatic way.
Things had been so much easier a couple hundred years ago, she couldn't help but think. That was the problem with humans. You leave them alone for a few hundred years, and they suddenly create things that seemed like magic before. But, some of those things benefited her, so she didn't completely mind.

“Yes! Fuck, yes, I know,” he admitted.
This wasn’t going well. He had to hope that she would read the note and Dimitri would just draw conclusions about what was happening; like he was so good at doing.
“It’s about a mile west from here in a cave with moss covering the rocks. There is a big stone dial in the middle and you have to turn it clock-wise three times past ‘3 o’clock.’ A door will open and that’s the waypoint, works just like a damn portal, now let me fucking go!” he cried, figuring that she wouldn’t think that magic would be necessary for a thing like that.
Although, if she knew mages, she knew they were paranoid and didn’t take chances of anyone finding them without being invited or a part of their Order. He just prayed to whatever higher power that she didn’t just off him immediately; his plight for his life seemed to be getting more and more desperate.

"Red" paused for a second in thought. Then, she slowly stood up, pulling Dago up with her by his arms and his hair. She grabbed his arms with both of her hands and guided them behind his back. Much easier to drag him around this way.
After all, she wanted to make sure he wasn't bluffing. That wouldn't be very good for her. She dragged Dago over to where her Claymore was and put it back on her back before continuing to drag Dago to where he said that the waypoint would be.
"Come on," she said, grinning her creepy grin again. "For all I know, you could be a damn liar." She was not going to risk everything on this guy's word. Oh, no, she was taking him with her. After all, it was the best choice. Besides, maybe she'd be able to use him as leverage? Maybe. She hadn't thought about that before.

“Augh! Fuck!” he shouted as she pulled him up backwards by his hair and arms.
Regardless of who you are, getting one’s entire weight pulled up by their hair isn’t tolerable without a little screaming. He didn’t really fight her as she wrestled his hands behind his back; running didn’t work last time, he wasn’t that stupid. Another opportunity would have to arise.
She shoved him over toward that huge ass sword she chucked at one of the illusions he conjured. His eyes got wide, thinking she was going to kill him now; he started to fight her grip, trying to get away. He might sell someone out, but there was no way he was going to die without a fight! As she put the sword across her back instead of into his, he stopped fighting. His breath was ragged and heavy, he was fucking scared for a moment.
She started walking him west, the direction he said the waypoint was. It was a long walk, but he walked it with no arguments nor a word. About a mile out, like he said, there was a cave that was covered in moss.

She blinked as Dago began struggling, but nothing seemed to come of it. Oh, he was afraid she'd kill him! Now she had no interest in killing him, especially because he was a mage. After thinking about it, she realized that if she went around killing everyone who fought for her, there wouldn't be anyone left to fight for her.
That was just a saddening thought.
Finally, though, they got to the waypoint. "Don't try to run off or hurt me or do anything stupid," she warned, before letting his arms go. She did as Dago had said to, and. . The door didn't open. So she tried again. And again, one more time, for good measure. "You know," she said, still mock-cheerfully, "I really don't appreciate being lied to. . It isn't very nice, don't you agree?" Well, if he wanted to get his ass kicked again, that was fine by her, as long as he just got her to Order of Eradicto Pravus' headquarters. After that, she didn't really care what he did.

Dago let himself be dragged into the cave. The dial in the middle was large and made of stone. There were symbols on it that looked ancient and unreadable. Dago pulled his wrists out to his front as Red let him go. He felt like a tool standing there, but he rubbed his shoulders that were in pain to pass the time. He wasn’t going to run, that hadn’t worked already. He wasn’t a prize fighter in anything, so it was pointless to try to harm her. What else stupid could he do?
He watched Red turn the dial three times past 3 o’ clock and his eyes widened as it didn’t work. He watched as she tried again, and again. Fuck, now she really was going to kill him. He quickly moved forward and pressed several of the symbols on the face of the dial. They acted like buttons and depressed into the stone. Suddenly, a stone panel on one side of the wall slid to the side with a scrape across the floor to reveal a black rimmed portal that held nothing in its center, it just swirled. It looked like an abyss.
“See? Simple as that, I don’t know how to describe the symbols, sorry,” he said, sarcastically with a glare.

Red stared at him. What did he have that she lacked? Well, actually, she could think of a few things that would fit the bill for not being about to open up that portal. Hmm. Well, it didn't seem to be the first thing that popped into her head. After all, if it were, he wouldn't be a whiny sarcastic wimp about it. "Of course you don't," she said, keeping her voice normal and the slasher smile on her face. "After all, you wouldn't ever lie to me." She winked.
"Well, we ought to get going. . No time like the present!" she said, before grabbing him and dragging him inside the portal. Of course, she pushed him in first. She wasn't going to risk being the first person inside. That would be stupid, and she wasn't stupid.
Very violent, yes. Stupid, no.
She was excited. This part of her mission was almost complete.

Well, that fucking plan failed, too. Dago needed to start thinking things through further. At least he actually opened the portal to the Order rather than opening a portal to the vacuum of space or something. He tried to pull himself away from Red as she dragged him toward the portal.
“You fucking..” he was cut off as she shoved him through the portal.
He felt himself falling… falling. He felt as though he wasn’t falling any longer after awhile until he hit ground with a thud. He was unhurt, but annoyed.
((Short post, will make a new thread in the Library.))
