He could feel himself beginning to falter, breathing growing more labored as debris pattered down and his blurred vision made it hard to see, to dodge all of it. He stumbled forward as a block shattered where he had been standing a moment before and fetched up against the snake, if he was allowed to, hands supporting him against its pale scales. Looking up into its eyes he blinked, pleading.
"Come away! Through the portal or outside with me, to safety! Please! There has been too much death here already!" Dimly he thought he saw the cracked treasures arrayed on the shelves behind the creature, but clearer still was the memory of Rory, tell him that he would only forgive him if he came out again...
If this place collapses your guardianship won't be needed anymore anyways!"
