Lloyd looked around, so... the fight was over? He looked at the buildings, realizing all of them were on fire, even the inn was starting to catch on fire. " Everyone! The buildings! He yelled, running towards all of them, seeing tons of people running out of them. They would need to help some of the people out of the buildings.
-----
Raven and Karol both ran out of the building, now outside as they watched the inn now catch on fire. " Uaaaah! A- Alice! " Karol yelled, Raven watching, seeing if the girl would make it out safe or not. He couldn't do anything to help if she did get hurt.

Alice Sukiema ¤ ¤ Estellise Heurassein[/b] [/IMG] 〖 ☼ Scion of Light 〗〖 ☾ Child of the Full Moon 〗 [/center] ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ [[ // REPEAT:: Estelle Oh... and small. Cause I'm going swimming. // ]] Estelle was relieved when the fight ended, but not completely calm. When you sat back and watched the scene with careful eyes, only one fact would hit real hard. Skade was now part of Iris. Could that really work? The pinkette frowned, trying to press the thought back. She shouldn't worry. She just had to make sure everyone was alright. She was the healer for this area, Alice was for the wounded in town. There was also Saria, but she seemed so startled, so uneasy, she didn't want to bother her to help. Everyone needed rest, and healing. But where? The town was on fire. Did they even have a tent? ❤ ❤ ❤ Alice choked on the smoky air, holding Alex in her arms, close to her chest with a motherly protection. She had to get out. Alex was unconscious, and relying on her. Tohru was too, trusting her to protect him. I can't let any of them down... When rubble got into her way, she cursed under her breath. Seems like consuming that mana was for nothing. I need to use the majority of it. Now. She was a spirit, already dead. Her soul was only linked to the body by a thin thread. At least it wouldn't be too surprising for her if she disappeared. Alex still had a life to live. But then, when she held her hand out to cast her spell, the orbs of mana beginning to emit from her hand, Alex seemed to be moving a bit. The light beginning to surround her dimmed. "Alex?" [/size] [/center]

As Razulen took the magic hits, she fell to her knees again. Taking hits like that tended to hurt, especially given that she had no real protection outside of her own arte taking in the energies of said magic. As she took the time to absorb it, things decided to move on fast. The crazy girl, Iris, jumped on Skade and wanted to use herself as a sacrifice. Some woman, named Elodie (from what she heard) made Skade disappear somehow. The town was slowly beginning to burn in the background, as others tried to fight this Elodie. The woman disappeared, and Yuri was being handled. Everything moved so fast, she really didn't have time to react. Once she felt well enough to stand, she examined her wings a bit. Fully stored with energy.
She was slowly trying to thing of what she could honestly do. Sure, people were hurt and tired, but there were healers among them. She wanted to make sure the buildings could be dealt with, but she honestly didn't know how to. She was frustrated, not knowing how to help. She gripped the sides of her head, and focused. 'How can I help them? How, how, how, HOW?'
The harder she dug herself into this mental hole, the more a massive surge of energy built around her. All of the energy stored in her wings, and then some, was released in a massive surge around the city. It was a healing surge, healing the wounds of those alive in the area as well as restoring a little bit of their mana and stamina. She closed her eyes slowly, and fell flat on her face. She coughed heavily, curling up on the ground. The glow that surrounded her since the beginning of the fight faded. She felt her energy draining quickly, and her vision blurring. She wouldn't be conscious for much longer, as her eyes slowly began to close.
'What...the heck...did I just do?'

S a r i a && S y n c && E l o d i e && C e c i Saria's painful panting on the ground soon eased up, and she laid still; unconscious. Her body laid cold and still on the ground, unaware to the ruin that was around her. Sync ran to her as fast as his feet could take him and slide down next to her, first checking her pulse and propping her head up on his knees. There was a pulse, but it was very light and slow.
"Goddammit. What did she do to you? Saria? Saria wake up!" The boy cried, lightly rocking the girl in his arms. He clicked his tongue and looked around. There was nothing he could do. He was no healer. Nor did he have any experience to tell what potions on her belt were for healing.. or for offensive attacks. As Flynn ran over, he looked up with a troubled look.
"I-I have no idea. The Maiden.. she did something to her. She's unconscious and nothing is bringing her too. She has no physical marking.." He explained, more annoyed than anything that he couldn't find a reason before the strange thing that had happened to her. At this point, the bright haired girl made her way over to the group with Iris by her side, smiling happily.
"Oooh, you might want to get her off the floor.." The girl said in a teasing voice, looking them over. The green haired boy snapped and looked up at her, not moving as offensively as he would have liked since Saria was still on his lip.
"Y-you.. What did she do to her?! Tell me before I kill you!" Sync demanded, his face contorted with anger. The girl simply let out a chuckle and then gave the boy a disgusted look.
"Oh shut up you disgusting boy. She isn't dead. Nor is she going to die. No, that's not how I see her pathetic death. As for mine, you won't be the one to kill me either, so save your "tough man"'s speech," She said coldly. Her disgust for men showing through quite obviously. She looked the blonde that laid there curiously then smiled, looking to Iris who seemed open to what was going on, "You see Iris.. Saria was the vessel in which the Maiden first performed through.. Who brought her back to life. But she found a way to split both her and the Maiden from herself, which weakened "Elodie" very much. She's the prime target for the Deities because, well, she's the number one person standing in our way of cleansing this world of the scum! For you see, the Maiden's fullest power would be when combined with Saria.. the second best choice would be if Saria didn't even exist at all," She cooed, looking to the green-haired replica just to see him seethe.
Just then something brushed past them all and their energy seemed to be restored. Some sort of mass healing arte seemed to be used, yet when looking it, Sync saw that it seemed to have come from Razulen, who looked just as confused about it as they did. Feeling much better, Sync looked down hopefully to Saria.
She still didn't move.
"Come on Iris, let's leave before this place gets overrun by Crusaders. And you won't have to hurt your friends.. If you don't want to," Ceci said, her promise seeming a bit faltering as she began to walk away.
Sync however didn't pursue them; his priority was Saria. He cursed under his breath, "Dammit. Why didn't healing work on you? Saria, I promised Trace.. I promise your brother and sister.. I promised Karu and Zehro I'd keep you safe. You can't give in here.. Dammit I promised myself I'd keep you safe!" Sync cried out as he smashed his hands on the ground. The blonde just simply laid there. Now very unlike Sync, the boy began to panic and cried out.
"Can't anyone please help!?"

Alex did indeed stir in Alice's arms, though rather than the normal gold in his eyes, emerald-green, glowing orbs were in their stead. The air around wrapped around his form, carrying him out of Alice's arms and standing him on his own two feet. As the building around them began to collapse he looked up, watching as a piece of the structure began to fall over them. Right before anything could happen, however, it collided with a barrier of sorts, shielding Alice and Alex both. Seemingly satisfied, the young child turned to look at Alice, blinking once before offering her his hand. It was obvious that this was all just some kind of internal defense mechanism, a subconscious act, for he said not a word. --------------------------------------------- The healing spell that washed over everyone was certainly a relief, and Tohru found he was finally able to move his body properly now. The scream startled him, and he was pretty much on high-alert as soon as he heard it, jumping into an assumed-battle-pose in case anything else decided to pop out at them. But no... all that happened was that the one who had defeated Skade was now gone, and the one who opposed her was unconscious in the arms of a green-haired boy. And Flynn was trying to get info on the situation. "Sar... ia... ?" He then remembered his entrapment of Yuri, swiftly muttering an apology as he released the long-haired swordsman. Yuri landed on his feet easily enough, yet he was strangely not moving. He had to wonder how the other male felt, questioned it even. How much did he know, anyway, from his time being controlled? There was almost literally nothing they could do, and it seemed only Repede's presence was bringing some level of calm to the other male. A thud in the near area had him turning his attention to find the very person who had suddenly healed them now collapsed on the ground. Murmuring the second apology for the evening to Jill, he quickly made his boomerang vanish before going to the young woman's side, helping her into a sitting position. "Hey. What's wrong?" It was certainly better than asking if she was alright, because she obviously wasn't. He'd learned long ago that questions like that were simply a waste of time. The town was burning. Everything was... And Alex... Alex... ! He could only hope that he was alright. Form unconsciously tensed for a moment, he looked back at Yuri. They didn't have time for this. "Yuri! Snap out of it!"That seemed to do the trick, as Yuri jumped slightly, snapping out of whatever thought-process he'd gotten stuck in. Right. They needed to get everyone out... "I'll... go and help the others," he said, attempting to at least sound normal. And, before anyone could start questioning it, he turned and ran, following after Estelle with Repede hot on his trails. Torrent was left behind. He wanted nothing to do with it at the moment.

[[ // -still making her form for Elpis- small post. // ]]
Estelle watched as everything unraveled, still concerned for Saria. She had passed out, and was now held in Sync's arms. She frowned slightly, and gasped as she noticed the burning town. "Please excuse me!" She shouted out. Raven, Karol, Alice and Alex were still in the inn! Were they alright? What if they were hurt? She had to be there just incase so she could be sure to heal them!
❤ ❤ ❤
Alice's eyes widened when a piece of structure was about to collapse over them, about to cast a spell of her own to crush it. It was so close, too close! But before she could, a barrier formed above them. It seemed to be formed by Alex, who had also been carried by wisps of wind before, to set him on his two feet. How is it he's always the one to protect me? She wasn't unappreciative, but her current job was to protect him, and the rest of the wounded.
Oddly enough, the boy didn't seem to be awake. His eyes were a bright green, not their usual gold. When he offered his hand, Alice grabbed lightly onto it, a confused expression still on her face. This wasn't Alex. He hadn't spoken once. Sure, Alex was a bit quiet at times, but not this quiet.

Whatever it was controlling Alex was able to bring both him and Alice out of the inn, mostly unscathed and uninjured. Any kind of fire or rubble that tried to get at them seemed to be bended off by the barrier around the two of them, lasting until they were both outside and out of harm's way.
Once outside, the child released Alice's hand, glowing eyes looking up at her blankly. The air around him had stilled, and there was no longer a barrier around them. He tilted his head just a fraction, as if regarding her, before he finally spoke: "His mind is broken. He won't come out without the Regina's help."

Regina? Alice thought, trying to make sense of it. Her lips moved, but nothing came out, she hesitated. "Regina... ? What's Regina?" Her breath was still, she couldn't think. She set her hands on the boy's shoulders. "Please, tell me, what's Regina? A thing, person...?" She frowned. She never thought that maybe it was just automatic that Alex said such a thing, that it wasn't really him speaking. It may just be for security, as him waking up right in the time of danger was. Because they had to make sure Alex woke up. Before she could continue, Estelle came running into the burning area.
"You need to get out of here!" Estelle shouted out to Raven, Karol, Alex and Alice. "Nor harbors falling apart! It's not safe here!" She didn't mean to interrupt, she hadn't realized they were even talking. She was too concerned about their well being.

Her bionic arm was a keepsake from this journey. Something to remember her friends by, and always she would have it with her. She couldn't remove it. But, she would probably need to cover it up in public, for the sake of the people not thinking she was some kind of monster.
Heh... As if they didn't already.
"S-sure, be right there. What town do you suppose we're stopping in? I need a new set of clothes, this knight armor is outdated."
Iris gave a look to her arm, flexed her hand a moment, and then looked to Yuri, Flynn, Tohru... Before she turned and joined Ceci.
"Dammit, this is not good..." Flynn was running thin on ideas, as one would expect from the man after all of this chaotic fighting. Whatever had happened, it was certainly unpleasant. aria unconscious, Yuri barely awake, Tohru finally regaining his strength... Yes, everyone was a mess at the moment. Razulen, it seemed, had just healed everyone.
"We should ask the woman who healed us all if she knows of someplace to take Saria to rest."
Luria, finally seeing the battle die down, rushed out, stumbling slightly on herself as she was not used to the weight of the weaponry.
"C-commandant, sir! The town is falling apart and all survivors have been accounted for!" she saluted, as if she had any idea if it were the right moment or not to do so. Flynn nodded, and took a look at Nor. First, the devastation of the town from earlier, and then Skade burned any standing building to cinders in his chaotic flames.
"Everyone, a member of this group or not, we have to evacuate immediately! If you are injured, please let us know, and we will carry you ourselves!" he turned his head down, hiding his expression of failure. "We couldn't save the town... Damn."
Luria ran off to account for those who were in need of help while Flynn joined Sync.
"I'm not sure what happened, but please carry her to safety if you have the energy. If not, I can do it."
Yuri had discarded Torrent. A behavior that seemed natural after it consumed his motility and thinking. He wouldn't object, and now that Skade was dead, it seemed fairly clear that Torrent wasn't needed anymore anyway. And June was dead, too, so they could very easily just leave it there without a worry for honor or revenge.

The child's eyes narrowed slightly. "You'll know her when you see her." And, almost as if Estelle's voice was some kind of trigger, Alex's eyes slipped shut again, his body falling limp in Alice's arms. Whatever it was that had been controlling him was seemingly gone now. Yuri and Repede were fairly close behind Estelle, the blue canine continuing to keep an eye on his more-silent-than-usual master before he darted to Karol and Raven's sides, nudging first the young boy then the older man, hoping Raven would take the hint and lean on him. It's almost like Aurnion all over again, he thought, almost bitterly. -------------------------------- It started as a single orb of light at first, floating through the damage and fire, going around each individual person before hovering in the middle of everything. It stayed there, seemingly doing nothing, mayhaps even taking into account the amount of damage there was to the town. And then it burst, splitting into a million other light orbs, all of them dancing and forming a ring. They began to spin, faster and faster until they melded into one giant ring. "What the hell... ?" Tohru murmured, both confused and intrigued as he gently lay Razulen on the ground again for now. Not only was it strange, but he could very easily recognize its power: a Yalurian one. This was unlike any he'd ever seen before, though. Not even healers or priests could use this level of magic. And then, as rapidly as things were happening the ring burst out, like some kind of fire being fed by all the oxygen. Nor was surrounded by the ring by now, light orbs now everywhere, hitting buildings and bursting, like bubbles that had floated too high. Yet one would notice that they did no harm, caused no damage. Rather, as the light spread and crashed into things, everything seemed to be repairing itself. The buildings were soon back to their normal structures, the injured were healed properly and back to full health. As rapidly as they had expanded, the light converged together, molding and forming a human shape. When all was said and done, standing there, in the middle of everything, was a blond woman, piercing azure eyes scanning the area. Her white armour—no... her entire body was glowing, only accentuating her already-pale skin. She looked first at Tohru, Razz, and Jill, then next turned his gaze on Flynn, Saria, and Sync. Finally, she spoke: "The damage has been repaired. I suggest, however, that you do not allow this to happen again."And then it hit him, just who this person was. If her power hadn't given it away, her appearance certainly had. Lady Mika: Angel of Light, Queen of Life on Kouderra

S a r i a && S y n c && C e c i Sync began to realize that this was more of a every man for himself kind of thing and looked down troubled to Saria. If only he knew anything about healing, maybe, just maybe he could help her out. He clenched his fists tightly and shook his head, "Dammit, I have to do everything on my own here. No frickin' help," He said, clearly showing how annoyed he was getting- mainly just at the fact that he couldn't do a single thing to help the one person he promised himself to keep safe.
Seeing that the entire place was failing and beginning to go into ruin, Sync knew he had to start acting fast. Hearing Flynn yell over at him they they had to get out of there and to help her, Sync shook his head, "I seriously appreciate the offer, at least someone cares about an injured person. I've got her though. I-I don't know the lands here so I'm going to follow you, okay?" Sync said, adjusting Saria comfortably in his arms as he awaited to get out of town.
Just then a strange occurrence happened that caught Sync off guard. He felt yet another wave of energy. This unlike anything he had ever felt before. Looking around he saw a woman that claimed she had fixed it, but gave them a stern warning. He was about to yell out to her and ask just who she was when he felt a slight wiggle in his grip, "It's cold.." The blonde muttered, moving her head loser to her body.
"Sh-she's okay? She's okay!" Sync said in a shocked voice, looking back up at the mysterious woman.

Ceci could see that Iris was struggling mentally, and felt a bit bad for the girl. She had decided long ago that she would help the Maiden, since she figured she was doing right by ridding the world of such awful people. Ceci knew how screwed up the world was and had all her trust Elodie's ideas- She was smarter than any woman she had ever met. But Iris was here because she had no place.. And owed the Maiden. It had to be hard making decisions like this. Ceci figured she would be nice to the girl.
"We should be stopping by in Halure. I know that idiot Lysander is still there awaiting for the Maiden to come- Oh, he's like the Maiden's righthand man. In love with her.. Pathetic. But very useful. So we'll need to round him and any others up on our team. Plus keep a close eye out for that little blonde.." Ceci stated, pointing to the blonde being carried by Sync.
At that Ceci tried to grab the girls attention and get out of town. The sooner, the better.

Karol looked around and felt something touch his legs. He almost freaked out, before realizing it was Repede. He ran ahead of everyone, reaching Estelle. He turned to look at everyone else, watching to make sure they got out. Why were the buildings on fire, and why was everyone outside hurt? They hadn't been able to rest for even a couple minutes before another problem came. Trouble did follow Yuri...
Raven looked down as something walked by his legs, seeing Repede nudge him. It seemed like he wanted him to lean on him, his other leg did hurt from trying to balance on it for so long. Raven leaned on the dog a bit, and made his way over to everyone, clear from any buildings. They were already near the end of town, now. He then watched as the fire went away, looking at all of the buildings that were now... rebuilt? Did somebody somehow put the fire out?

Estelle had heard the conversation between Alice and Alex, and knew what Alex was speaking of, "Regina. Meaning Queen." She said softly, she didn't blame Alice for not thinking of it. The poor girl was probably exhausted. Of course, she did not know that she had consumed mana from around town. Even then, it was only enough to keep her conscious, not get her full thought process out. "So someone with good strength and a noble attitude.. ?" "Yes, I would hope so." Alice shifted Alex in her arms so he was in a more comfortable position. Then she began walking. Yuri and Repede were helping Karol and Raven. Estelle remained close, just in case they would need help. Someone with good strength... She thought, glancing down at Alex. Without her... Alex will not wake up... A worried expression crossed her face, a frown tugging at her lips.

"So Estelle doesn't qualify," he said with a small sigh. "How are we supposed to find the right Queen, exactly? It's not like she'll just walk up to us looking for him." Yuri shook his head before looking over at Alice and Alex. "Maybe Tohru will know more about this."
Repede barked in agreement, a small growl of coming out of him unconsciously when Raven leaned a beat too heavily on him, though he huffed as a way of apology as if to compensate for this. Then, somehow, a little orb of light had floated over to him. The dog blinked, staring at it suspiciously, a small yelp escaping him when it hit his nose and burst.
"What the hell... ?" Yuri asked, officially confused. Repede didn't normally act like that. Frowning, he knelt by the dog's side, a bit startled as some stray light orbs came floating their way. They almost resembled some kind of mini version of Estelle's Photon spell, if he had to give them a vague resemblance to something. He took one in hand, the rest of the orbs floating towards the others and crashing into them before vanishing. And, when Yuri tried to examine the one he'd caught, it had only burst. When it did that, also, his strength had been returned to full.
"Regi... na," Alex mumbled sleepily, curling up closer to Alice, seeming to be more at ease.
Looks like they'd found their clue.

Raven looked around, still leaning against Repede. He stopped leaning on the dog, realizing his leg wasn't broken any more, after some weird orb of light hit his leg. " Um... What the hell are these things? " He asked, looking at all of the orbs that were running into buildings, putting them back together, and hitting everyone that was there, and healing them.
" Uaaah! " He yelled, as an orb of light ran into his arm. He calmed down when realizing it was healing it, and not hurting it. " H- huh...? " He looked at all of them, running over to some of them, poking some. " Ha ha! They just pop! " He yelled, poking more of them.
