Zeis stood at the edge of the town, observing how the sandstorm was only have a metre away but didn't effect him at all. He saw as three figures tried to pass through the sandstorm. He smirked.

"What the hell is taking so damn long!" Matthias shouted over the desert winds. "Seriously, this stupid storm should've stopped a long time ago! What could possibly be taking this damn long? Are we waiting for Lumino to grow facial hair or what?"

Brad stood there looking around, waiting to leave, who was left? The storm was still raging strong.

"Is it just me, or is the storm getting stronger, not weaker?" shouted Matthias, over the surging winds. They tore at his cloak, and kicked even more sand into his eyes. "We're gonna have ta pull back ta the city!" he yelled, waving his arm. He started backing up. "This is fuckin' ridiculous."

Matis hastily jumped down the tower, using several balconies as steps on the way down, followed closely by Sokka and Katara, who he had found talking with Athos. After having talked to the archsage, he had said that the sandstorm would dissapear soon.
Somehow, Kenshin had managed to made it in time as well, as they all reunited near the town's entrance. A dazzling noise was heard on the entire town, as the sandstorm ripped apart right in front of the town's entrance. Knowing what that sound would be, Matis hurried to the sandstorm, signaling everyone to follow him, and telling Matthias, Lumino and Alexia that they should turn around and start running.
They all were close...very close. But something wasn't right. The magical barrier splitting the sandstorm was backing up, and the storm fastly closed in on the group. Matis put all he could on running, but even then, the sandstorm was faster than then, and it closed in on the entire team, engulfing them in it's raging winds.
OoC: I brought everyone here by force. DrayGon, it's your turn to be the saviour.

(OOC: Right... Here I come. ^^ Sorry for spreading the post over three areas, but I had to make the subtle transitions. :/ Oh, and forgive me if I take a few liberties with character actions.)
Matis noticed that dispite the sandstorm having closed in on them, he wasn't being struck by the sand. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw why. Dray'Gon had arrived and spread his wings out ahead of him to protect the group from the fierce storm. The wings were extended far enough to reach the far edge of the storm.
While the bits of sand were not tearing at Dray'Gon's tough hide, his feet were already starting to get buried in the sand. Dray'Gon occasionally lifted a foot to keep it from getting buried too deep, but it was tough while trying to keep his wings extended to protect the group. Dray'Gon hadn't realized how ferocious the sandstorm could be as usually he merely flew through it, but on the ground, he could see just how easily a human could get buried in sand.
Looking at Matis, and the others from under his wings, Dray'Gon shouted, in order to be heard. "Hurry! Get out of here!"
(OOC: Ok, now if some of the others do not post, he'll have to forcably move them again, or else I'm gonna be buried in sand. >_<)

Without thinking Kenshin grabed Sokka and Katara's hands and started to run. They got to the edge of the sand storm and stopped. "You two wait here, I'm going back in to help anybody else that needs it. Dray can't keep the sand storm for much longer." Kenshin ran back to the group and asked if anybody needed help.
OoC:Just RP my character helping you if you have to.

"I'm fine Kenshin!" Ralph yelled over the roar of the sandstorm. He ran forward, losing his footing, tumbled, and rolled out of the storm.

"Dammit all!" shouted Matthias, who was taking the winning strategy of tripping and stumbling. Thankfully, he'd been closer than the rest of the group, and was probably in the clear. Finally, he fell onto the other side of the storm, panting with exhaustion. He fell backwards and looked at the blue sky. "Dammit, I'm not a fuckin' stallion, my body's not meant for this."

Alexia had practically made it to the other side, even before Dray'Gon arrived. Having a trained desert horse, she was at a distinct advantage over the others. From her position, she could see the others struggling through the desert. She remembered the magic users could move through deserts easier, something about their magic giving them better footing on the sand. Still, she strained to see if Lumino, Zeiss, or Brad needed help. The others shouldn't have a problem.

Lyndsey drug her desperate mount through the storms, having dismounted so the pegasus' wings wouldn't get damaged in flying. It took some doing, but she managed to come out just before Matthias. Without taking a break, she prepared her mount. She knew her party would want to move quickly, and she wasn't going to be the reason they lagged.

Brad didn't need much help from Dray'Gon, he pulled his cloak over his head and walked through the sand, he saw a horse and assumed it was Alexia's, he walked towards the horse, that was his main goal.

Ryan pushed and encourged Majesty to move foward, with the help from the dragon it was a lot smoother, but it was still difficult for the poor horse. Trudging along with the others Ryan saw that Alexia had allready crossed the desert and Brad was close behind her.

Alan found out on his own expence how stupid it was to stay on the rooftop. He was slowly getting sucked in to the storm. He tried resist until he came to his senses. lesson #4: Move with the wind, not against it. He started to fly in the direction of the desert but also downwards.

Zeiss had warped into a house and watched as the others struggled. Cowardly perhaps, but the prudent magician keeps his head down during such time.
