Ks, then.
Finally! Orders I can follow! Nanuuk ran as fast as he could towards the spot the Archangel indicated, leaping and bounding over the cracks. Jonathan swiftly flew just ahead of him as Arctarael slowly covered their backs, never letting the Sphinx get too close.
"The Sphinx shall rip you to shreds!" it bellowed. With every step it took, the ground shook. Soon, Nanuuk saw the cavern that Arctarael was referring to - a small enclosure protected by solid rock on three sides and a high stone wall on one side. Jonathan reached it first, fluttering over the wall and gracefully landing within. Nanuuk reached the base of the wall and looked up. Bile rose up in his throat.
I wish I had wings... how am I going to get up there? He heard another roar from behind him and turned to see the Sphinx, relentlessly getting closer to Nanuuk like a gigantic, malevolent Sapphire Charger. Nanuuk rose a palm and concentrated on the air close to the cavern ground, thick with condensation. "Congelo!" he enunciated clearly. A mottled layer of slippery ice materialized below the Sphinx's feet. With a rather puppy-sounding startled choke, it tumbled unceremoniously towards the ground.
Tee hee.I still need to get up there. It's not like some random Spirit will just come here and airlift me.
...
Oh, yeah. Nanuuk dipped his consciousness once more into the astral plane, selecting an
Spirit from the bunch.
I'd better get paid for this, it grumbled as it entered the physical plane in the form of a scarecrow with wings.
Your payment is not getting eaten by THAT thing, Nanuuk conveyed, indicating to the Sphinx who was just getting up.
With a squeak, the scarecrow grabbed Nanuuk in a bear hug and flapped its flimsy wings erratically. Slowly but surely, the two rose into the air.
You really need to get on a diet, boss, the scarecrow groaned.
And you need some sort of aerobics regimen.
You want me to drop you right now? Because I can drop you and you know that.Nanuuk sighed and shut up.
I can't win any arguments nowadays.Nanuuk hazarded a glance downwards and immediately regretted it. Not only was his stomach churning from the altitude, but he saw the Sphinx give one giant leap, wings beating and paws swiping towards Nanuuk. Its blows whistled through the air, missing Nanuuk's feet by about... well... a foot. Nanuuk then decided to hurl. The vomit caught the Sphinx straight in the eyeball, and he roared once more.
Then, they were up into the cavern. Nanuuk was lowered down. He thanked the Spirit and then dismissed it.
"Took you long enough," Jonathan muttered.
In a few seconds, Arctarael had followed suit and was also over the massive stone wall and into the cavern.

And I loved the 
deck so much, too.
Sorry, but I have other things to do. Good luck.
