Both Zulemia and Vertie laughed, and Vertie shook her head. "Of course not! You're one of us now!" She said with another laugh. Zulemia opened the door and Vertie took Adria by the hand. She didn't want a second before she leaped down the spiral staircase, plummeting to the ground impossibly fast - maybe a second or two, maximum. She seemed to slow down time to a halt just before they landed, and they stood on the ground safely. Vertie didn't acknowledge the bending of time, just rushing out of the tower with Zulemia close behind.
"Slow down, Vertie!" Zulemia called.
Vertie huffed and let go of Adria's hand. "Your job from here, Mia," she said.
Zulemia laughed and took both Vertie and Adria's hands "Vertie can't fly, you see," she explained to Adria, taking into the air quickly as she could.
"Quicker, Mia! Someone else is gonna get the crura turcia!" Vertie screamed as they whipped through the air, Zulemia's real speed coming through.
Zulemia landed on solid ground again. All around the demons rushed towards a nearby building. It was huge, with a purple stained glass dome. Vertie clicked her fingers and they all froze in place. Nothing moved or breathed as Zulemia lead Adria towards the building's door.
