"Not with that kind of thinking we aren't."
Naomi started to pound on the controls, but still nothing happened. This place must have been so old that it didn't work anymore. But if that was the case then how did they get here? The tower must have been able to work on its own, but if it was transporting people at random when did it do that and why? There had to be more to it than met the eye.
"I'm interested in what these runes mean. Do you think it's some kind of ancient language?"
They didn't know the dialect of this world, or even if the natives here spoke any English, so even if they found people they may not be able to communicate with them. That would prove frustrating.

"I can't answer that without knowing more about the world at large. As much as you don't like the cold we're going to have to brace it if we're to get out of here. Before the tower does something more dangerous than just bring people from other worlds to this one."
They knew nothing about the tower or what it could do. It could prove to be a dangerous structure. Some kind of super weapon that even froze over the land outside. They needed to get out of here for now and find someone who knew more about it and the land outside.

It was Naomi's turn to sigh.
"All right if you insist we'll go."
Naomi turned away from the transporters and went out of the room and back down to the first floor. She waited for Ayen to catch up before opening the doors, but when she did so a white four-legged creature with ice on its body like armor lunged at Naomi and knocked her to the floor. Trying to bite into her flesh with its teeth as she used her hands to keep it away. Unable to reach for her gun as her hands were occupied keeping the ice creature at bay.
"Ayen! Help!"
Naomi hated being the damsel in distress.

Ayen followed Naomi out of the room and was on the first couple of steps when the ice creature tackled Naomi to the ground and tried to bite into her skin. Ayen fired electricity out of his fingertips but it only absorbed into the ice armor. However, it was enough to get the creature's attention as it turned its forcus from Naomi to Ayen. Getting off of Naomi and running after him.
Ayen flew down from the stairs and over the ice creature's lunge as he landed by Naomi's side. Now using his telepathy to attack the creature's mind. Accessing the pain receptors in the brain to damage it. It wimpered in pain and tried to fight it as it roared at the two in anger.

Naomi drew her pistol once the ice creature was off her body and fired on the ice creature's main body. But all it did was chip away at the ice armor on its back. Even still she continued to chip away at the ice armor with her gun's bullets and she hoped Ayen could do more damage to it than she could. He was the one with super powers after all.
"I say we flee."
There may be more out there, and there may not be. But she was sure if they flew out of the tower into the sky they would be safe. As long as there weren't any winged ice beasts outside to boot.

Ayen sent a wall of electricity into the ice beast to slam it against the wall, but it only absorbed the attack into its ice armor and kept coming. Ayen then took Naomi's hand and ran out of the tower into the Crystal Expanse. Taking off into the air and flying away from the tower with Naomi in his hands. The ice creature came out of the tower and roared at the pair as they flew away. Unable to follow them because it lacked the ability to fly. Good for them, bad for it. Ayen decided to go north, as that where all the compasses usually pointed, and flew until he saw land.
There adventure was only beginning.
