Kris: *Jumps backwards, narrowly avoiding a stab, and knocks away the attacker's sword, lopping off a hand*
-holds the key and tosses it back to him- I can't open the belt myself, that's part of the curse, it won't work with me..
-I put the key in my pouch- "Well in less than an hour the curse will be broken." -I look at the huge volcano off in the distance-
"If the curse is magical then so is the volcano. There's most likely some test you have to go through."
-I laugh- "Nor am I. Well figure it out." -I speed up the pace, riding full tilt towards the volcano-
Kris: *Parries one blow, spinning and decapitating him, but the other sword catches him in the side, and he then stabs the last assassin in the chest*
-The volcano rumbles violently- "Oh great..." -I look back at her- "Stay here..." -I begin sprinting up-
-I reach the top and look down quickly ducking as a spout of lava shoots up. I look seeing its filling quickly. I spy the key suspended by a small rope over the lava- "I'm either brave or crazy." -I take a deep breath and dive in-
Kris: *Bleeds* Damn... That... That hurts... *Takes a strip of blood-free cloth and bandages as best he can, mounting his horse again and resuming his course towards (Alida's kingdom)*
-I grab the rope with a grunt and hang on as it swings violently. I retrieve the key and begin climbing. A burst of lava flies up burning me and the rope- "Gah!"
