Cynthia frowned with a genuine worry. Something had happened here and none of them knew what. Yet she would not let that slow them down. Of which up ahead it seems like it was a good thing Magnus was small; a hallway was littered with a number of fallen overhanging cables, sealed crates and other storage equipment making passage a nascence. It seems the previous group of prisoners did quite the number to this particular area, it being really dark didn't help either.

Magnus looked at the cables, relived that he was still so small. He was sure that his Golems would get through this alright. Though he had to be careful not to trip here, aside from the fact that getting up was already quite hard for a Centaur doubly so when clad in armor the danger of getting serioulsy hurt was quite high (armor or not, bones still can break from to much stress). "Whatever happened here, it wass violent, that is for sure, lets try to leave this area behind us as soon as we can."

Looking back to Magnus as she was walking she gave a nod. "There is no telli..." Cynthia's statement was immediately interrupted. From just to her side a hanging power cable suddenly snaps and a large storage container that was leaning upon it falls at her.
Distracted by her statement to Magnus she could not move in time as this container far larger than her slams down upon Cynthia's body, trapping her beneath with a large thud and mild crack. The wisp providing light flicking quickly and dimming but still glowing away next to the collapsed crate.

"Hm, what did- NOO!" Magnus looked back only to see the crate falling on Cynthia. He rushed to the container "Just you wait, I'll get you out! Golems!" As his Golems got there he cursed that he still was so small, he should have asked her to reverse the spell. "Heave!" Together with the Golems he tried to lift the heavy container up, praying that Cynthia was still alive under there. "Are you alive?"

As the crate was moved to the side by the Golems and Magnus the could see Cynthia beneath. Bleeding heavily her head she was unconsciously coughing and breathing so clearly alive but definitely in no state to travel. The wisp continued to flicker but illuminate the area, meanwhile Magnus could feel the magic Cynthia had put on him to shrink his form quickly waning away with her unconscious.

"Not good." Magnus noticed his viewpoint shifting as the magic grew smaller. Whatever that means, its likely not good. She's in no state to move... much less walk on her own... but I can't treat her here, the danger of getting further injured is too high here. I need to get to an area where I can properly treat her. But with her unable to move... only one way left. He kneeled down "I don't know if you can hear me, I'll carry you, I know that movement might makes matters worse, especially if your spine took damage from the crate, but I need to get you to an area where I can properly treat your wounds and where we're in no danger of receiving more injuries, maybe even find some medical utensils." He looked to his Golems "Get rid of that crate at once, then lift her onto me, move her body as little as possible."

The golems did as were instructed and moved the crate aside getting her free and clearly the path forward. Helping carefully raise Cynthia onto the growing Magnus as the wisp of light frantically flickers but keeps itself alight, illuminating the area ahead.
It took no expert to realise this was a serious injury if left untreated but she was alive at the second, even if she was not conscious.
The wisp seemed to dance near a large cabinet sitting against the wall, waving back and fourth frantically like someone waving for attention.

Magnus looked as the Golems carefully placed Cynthia on his horse-back, then the armored Centaur finally noticed the wisp. Figuring that the flickering light maybe wanted to get his attention he carefully walked over to the cabinet, trying to move as little as possible to keep the injured woman as unmoving as possible, he was no expert on medicine (although he had some basic first aid knowledge) but even he could tell that this was serious. "Hold out, I'll get you patched up in no time."

The cabinet itself looked old but judging by the wall around it, it wasn't suppose be here. In-fact thanks to the flicking of the wisp Magnus would even make out the vague tracings of a door behind it. The wisp being less frantic as you approach and examine the area.
Cynthia offering no real response except for the occasional cough and pained quiet grunt.

Magnus continued to walk to the cabinet, the sounds from behind didn't help in raising his hopes, as he approached the cabinet he noticed that this thing probably wasn't from here originally - and that, behind it - seemed to be a door. Since he didn't want to move Cynthia more than neccessary he called his Golems again "Golems, move that cabinet then try to open the door." He unholstered his rifle, while he didn't think that there was something out to kill them behind that door it was better to be safe than to be sorry, and if he would use his rifle the movements of his back would be minimized as opposed to when he would use the Naginata. "You'll be safe in no time, don't worry."

The golems continued to follow the orders, moving the cabinet to the side and revealing the door. The door was seemingly suppose to have some kind of electronic lock on it but the power-outage clearly put a end to that.
Opening the door reveals what seems to have been a security checkpoint of some kind. The far side of the room had a row of monitors all of which seem to have lost power as well as the controls that likely managed this wards cells. Several desks with papers and books upon them. A weapons locker and first aid cabinet both sat adjacent to the entrance door along with a smashed fuse box. There were even beds in here, clearly for wounded guards.
There are no signs of struggle or even conflict other than the damaged fuse box, the room just looks abandoned in a hurry. The wisp immediately flying inside and glowing slightly brighter, just enough to illuminate the entire room.

Magnus was relived to see that the room included a First Aid cabinet and beds. "Thank you" He muttered in the direction of the wisp, not really knowing if the thing possesed inteligence. Gently the Golems moved Cynthia from his horseback onto one of the beds. Now, that the injured woman was away from his back Magnus walked to the cabinet and opened it, looking if there were utensils he could use to treat the wounds. Later he would probably take a good look around, but for now taking care of the injuries came first. He feeled that knowledge in healing-magic would help a great deal but there was nmo point in mourning over things he didn't possess now and wouldn't possess ever. "Hold out just a little while longer."

The wisp seemed to flicker in acknowledgement to the thanks, showing some kind of vague intelligence at-least. Cynthia winced in pain at being moved but in her condition she was hardly objecting.
The first aid cabinet was fully stocked with a remarkable amount of medical supplies. The Servant's were well stocked at least, more than enough to treat most kinds of injury were here. The trick was of course knowing how to.
By this point the shrinking spell of Magnus has fully dissipated, the magic was never designed to be self-stable and as a result, it was unable to sustain itself with Cynthia in her current condition. Though for Cynthia this was one of the times she was thankful that she was technically immortal and couldn't die because by all reasons it should have but by all that magic stood for did this hurt.

Magnus came back with enough medical supplies for every injury Cynthia might had. As he came to the bed where Cynthia was lying he took off both his Schaller and gauntlets, he couldn't treat her with those metal cans around his fingers or a dramatically reduced field of view. "Okay I don't know if you can understand me right now, I know it hurts, I'll give you painkillers now. After that I'll begin to treat your wounds." He looked at her Still bleeding from the head, after that hit a concussion is likely... though how am I gonna treat that? First I need to stop the bleeding, after that I need to check for spinal injuries. With that thought in mind he started.

As the painkillers kick in Cynthia will let out a huge sigh, able to actually think properly again. The wisp igniting back to its full brightness. "I-ll, ill be fine Magnus... Just.. give me a bit. My magic should treat anything bellow the surface easily enough." She said with a clear headache but a smile to Magnus.
The wisp disregarding Cynthia and floating into position for Magnus to easily get a good view of what he is doing.

Unfazed by Cynthia's reassurance Magnus began treating the wounds, the Centaur kneeled down beside the bed "I have to admit, that my knowledge in certain areas isn't anything to boast with, both healing-magic and medicine can be counted as two of those areas, but even I see that you're exhausted. Let me treat what I can." He saw the wisp moving closer, presuming that the little creature also shared his opinion. "First off I'm gonna stop the bleeding, after that is done I'll check you for spinal injuries, if there are none I'll treat the smaller wounds. Don't dare to argue here, you are in shape to perform complicated magic at the moment." With that he started to diligently treat the wounds, trying to cause as little pain as possible.

While Cynthia tries to resist she is in no state to and even her attempts to draw magic just make her feel faint. So the treatment went on, most of the bleeding seems to have already stopped; wounds magically healing themselves but by no means has she already recovered just blood loss was not the immediate issue.
As Magnus checks over while some injuries are bad, her left leg and left shoulder taking the majority of the brunt. Her spine, ribs and similar seemingly okay after the impact. Though after some time what injuries are their can be treated to Magnus' limits, then to just require rest and a little luck they heal properly. The wisp illuminating the work area throughout the procedure and then just flicking lazily around the room once it finishes.

Magnus treated all wounds he could, but at some point he just couldn't do more without better equipment and knowledge. That point was now, he had done everything he could, now Cynthia's magic would need to do the rest. "Okay, I did everything I could, now, rest." He stood up, putting his armor back on "Don't worry, rest assured that I'll protect you."

"I don't need a bi-" Cynthia was about to start complaining as she sat herself up and then winced and held her side. The wisp floating over and flicking and humming seemingly rhythmically. "Fine..." She looked over to Magnus, her normal elegant composure broken. Some of her long hair flowing down her messily in-front of her face. "Give me an hour to let my magic fix the rest... Though I suppose I owe you my thanks." She says with a soft if still pained smile.

"No need to thank me, for this is the least I can do for you." Magnus now stood before the bed again. "If you need a bit more of the painkillers say so." He looked at the small wisp "And you my little friend, make sure she stays in bed." He said half-jokingly more addressing Cynthia than the wisp. With that the Centaur took out a few Golem cores and placed them on the ground. Magnus drew a intricate shield in the air with his Naginata "You shall be our fortress; Phalanx Formation - RISE!" Seconds later the familiar figures of heavy knights with giant tower-shields stood around the door, if anything would come into this room it first had to go through these Golems, and while it was between them Magnus would have a free shot to kill it.

Magnus shook his head "Sadly the servants were very careful in keeping the exact locations and layout hidden from us, it was already quite hard to configure the breachers so they would not send us into a wall."
