Oh, wow... Luria's eyes widened at the lack of disaster. It's as if none of that had ever happened. How strangely amazing. She became fascinated, and wanted to know how to do such things. However, she knew she couldn't. That was magic. She was, well, TECHNICALLY human. Oh well. She saw Iris, or at least what looked like Iris, in the distance. She was leaving?
Flynn noted iris leaving with the enemy. A part of him felt like going after her, but it felt hardly like it would be a good idea. She was siding with the enemy, out of debt. Well, on one side of the coin, he understood debts. But on the other side, didn't she have one to repay to Tohru as well?
Speaking of Tohru, Jill was getting a little impatient with him, but she knew he was a superior to her, so she didn't say a word. He was perfectly fine without much trouble, which was just startling. She, as well as everyone else, was equally amazed by the impressive healing magic. It was truly a marvel, and one that would likely not be seen again for some time to come.
Still, it was time for Flynn to approach Yuri and Tohru.
"You two... We need to talk about what happened during the battle."

Alice was silent, and glanced around. Regina? Alex had just said it again. Was she nearby? She one of her hands through his hair as to comfort him, and walked off to where the others had been hiding, thinking that maybe, just maybe, the Regina would be with them. "I'll find the Regina... just relax." She said softly, watching as the bubbles floated around, bursting into light when they hit, reconstructing the broken structures and healing those who were wounded. "Whoever's doing this must be the Regina... it would explain why she's seen as such, this is amazing." She spoke to herself. But, just where was she? Where were they to find her? She rushed off, looking for where the orbs of light were coming from, being careful not to move Alex too much in his sleep.
-----
Estelle watched what happened around them, scanning the area in utter amazement. It was shocking how the bubbles would just hit something and reconstruct it, fix it, heal it.... It wasn't like anything she had ever seen before. "This... this is so," She paused, hearing Alice's words, almost like a reply to Alex's words as he stirred. "Yes... someone with power like this... they have to be treated like royalty!" She agreed, watching as Alice rushed off to find the one who had caused all of this. She glanced to her other friends, who seemed to have their energy restored.

Mika's eyes closed as she surveyed the humans, merely hoping that they would take her words to heart. She had repaired all damages from Other Worldly beings, specifically those from her own world. She would not, however, be willing to do it again. She would finish what she came here to do, whether she received cooperation or not.
She knew he was here, though. She could sense him, her Elemental.
Mika started to walk towards the power source, determined to find him. She would have a chat with these humans later.
Tohru was mildly surprised when Flynn approached him. Still, with no real reason to object, he decided to comply after helping Razulen to her feet. And at one point or another, he would have to explain to Jill just what was going on as well as find out how she had gotten herself in this world.
Yuri... wasn't so thrilled at the idea of talking to Flynn. He had an idea on what it would be about, and honestly, he wasn't in the mood for a lecture. Still, he had to at least ask what it was he wanted.
"What's up?" he asked, keeping his voice light.

Alice walked around, following the sight of the orbs and trying to find the one causing them to float around the town. It was then that she realized a woman staring right at Alex as she advanced closer. She held Alex protectively, not knowing the woman, but her golden eyes widened. She seemed to be the source. Her aura was so pure, so strong. "Ma'am.. might you be the Regina...?" She questioned somewhat uneasily.
❤ ❤ ❤
Estelle looked between Yuri and Flynn, curiosity rising in her. What were they going to be speaking about? The battle? What about the battle? She listened closely, a stubborn expression on her face. Well, of course she was going to listen!

Mika stopped once she was addressed, eyes narrowing slightly as she regarded the woman currently holding her child. And she knew her title? Looking over Alex also revealed just how damaged he was, both from his travel between worlds and his encounter with Skade. Whether Saorise knew of what could happen to Alex or not, however, was undetermined, and she doubted it would be easy to figure that out.
'Regina.' How strange, hearing that from a mortal's lips.
She held out a hand, pointing it at Alex. Within seconds the boy was engulfed in light, vanishing from Alice's arms and into Mika's, the Angelic Queen holding him like any mother would a child. Her cold gaze turned soft, warm, almost sad even, as she brushed a strand of hair from the boy's face.
"Child... what has happened to you?" she said softly, putting her forehead to Alex's, eyes closed for a moment. Her brows furrowed as she finally lifted her head, looking at Alice, wearing that same, cold look from earlier. "Who is his caretaker?"

Alice watched as Mika's gaze met hers, and turned cold. It seemed she was the Regina, since she glanced to her when addressed. Her heart grew a bit still though, the gaze, it was hard to just stay calm having one set gold gaze on you. What had she done?
When Alex disappeared from her arms in a burst of light, Alice panicked a bit, it was easy to tell by the look in her eyes. "So... you are. I'm so sorry if I seemed rude." She gave a bow, before her eyes met hers again. Alex's caretaker? "Alex was being taken care of by Tohru before a big fight started. I was told to take care of Alex when he was gone..." She admitted with a small smile. It was weak. She could tell Mika's change in expression when holding Alex in her arms, and that kept her slight peaceful mood.
Alice was still uneasy from using the majority of her energy. It was easy to tell since the color in her face was paled, and her skin was a bit transparent. Mortal? Oh no, not at all. Alice was simply a soul, bound back to her body after her "death". She didn't die, she couldn't die.

So, this girl was only a temporary. Mika's eyes went back to Alex, softening once more as she tightened her hold on him. She would have a word with Tohru later, if only because she just wanted to fix Alex first. He had already stayed like this for far too long. Blue orbs turned to Alice, though this time they didn't turn cold. "Follow me, Simulacrum," she commanded. If she really wanted, she could easily force Alice to come along. She figured she should at least try not to intimidate her, though.
She looked down as a blue canine sniffed at her feet, expression calm and blank before Mika walked to the other part of the group. If others followed her, she wouldn't mind. She needed to piece things together, though, and get the humans on their way so she could begin the restoration process.

"My... name is Alice, Ma'am" Alice said softly, following after the Regina as she walked. She just wanted her to know, whether it mattered to her or not. Her name was Alice, nothing else. The light in her golden eyes were becoming a bit dull. Perhaps she would consume more Mana later? She didn't want to be so rude in front of one of Mika's kind, though. To be a queen? She could not be disrespected.
She didn't question where they were going, only because she felt safe with Mika. It was hard to explain it. She just brought a peaceful air along with her. But why, why had she called her Simulacrum? Was it because she was technically a ghost? Because she consumed Mana? She couldn't quite understand the reasoning.

Razulen was, for the most part, barely conscious through the entire ordeal after her healing wave. Everything was all just a mass of fuzz to her. Nothing she heard was coherent, and everything she saw was a blur. She didn't even notice the assistance she was getting from Tohru. As her mind began to drift, her eyes opened halfway. Thoughts sluggishly made their way through her mind, as her eyes scanned the scene. She was so tired, she just didn't want to do anything. She felt so exhausted, she almost found breathing to be taxing. Even the revitalizing acts of the new Mika didn't do her any good. She took a few moments, closing her eyes as she tried to speak.
"Rest... I need...rest...somewhere...safe."

Flynn's words were lost to him this day, for the first time. How was he to tell Yuri, his friend, that he had a hand in the death of their friend Vera? Would it be possible to tell him in another, safer place?
No, he had to know.
"Yuri, Tohru, as you know, Vera is no longer with us."
He strained on the details, hoping Tohru could fill in the blanks.
Luria, completing her task, returned to the group. Her caretaker was seemingly tired or wounded, which caused her great worry.
"Raz! Are you--" Razulen had mentioned rest.
"Right, we need you to get somewhere safe. I'm so sorry, it's my fault you were caught up in this..."
Jill, deciding on her own accord to join the conversation, jumped in with Yuri, Flynn and Tohru.
"If you need info on who attacked us, I have it. I don't know where we are or what the Hell kind of magic you guys use, but it's nothing like Haemon."
((Short and sweet. Do what ya need to to get the ball rolling, guys!))

"Vera's... dead?" It was unreal. When was the last time Yuri had heard about a friend passing on or getting killed? He didn't even know, and for that reason, it was difficult to respond. "How?" He didn't like how Flynn was withholding information. He knew something, didn't he? He had to!
"You killed her."
The way Tohru had said it, so abruptly and bluntly, Yuri was sure he could have believed it right away. And even still, the foreign Knight was looking at him so straight-forwardly. "What... ?"
"During your rampage," Tohru continued, apparently unphased by the disbelieving look he was getting from the long-haired male, "Skade used one of your attacks and redirected it to her. So perhaps saying you killed her was incorrect... but you are, indirectly, to blame." Silence was all he received as an answer, turning to face Yuri. "You act as if this is your first time experiencing death."
"I-It's not!" Yuri shot back, a little pissed and very, very confused, and hurt. What gave this guy any right to act the way he was acting? "It's just—"
"Just what? 'Unreal'? 'Not your fault'? Your careless actions not only let you to be manipulated so easily, but also led to the death of a comrade. Whether this is the first time or not, it changes nothing. In my world, men like you would be dishonorably discharged without a second thought."
He knew he was being harsh, and purposely so. Tohru, however, didn't care; so long as his message had gotten across, he could take being hated for a little while. It was what he did best, after all. The Yalurian Knight turned on Jill when she spoke, eyes narrowing slightly at the mention of who attacked Nor, but he dismissed it. "I'll explain where we are once we find somewhere to—"
"There will be no need."
Mika walked back to the group, evidently ignoring Alice's introduction, golden hair still flowing. Azure eyes narrowed on Tohru and Jill. "You two will follow me. I will need your assistance in helping our youngest Elemental."
"Youngest what?!" Tohru exclaimed despite himself, though the instant the words had come out of his mouth he wished they hadn't. Those eyes, so cold and blue, were enough to intimidate him. Was this how all angels were like?
"This boy is the Elemental of Wind, as you humans call us such. His soul is broken, and in order to repair it, I will need the permission of this world's Deities."
Mika's eyes next turned on Estelle. "Child, you seem to be the one most closely associated with these... 'Spirits,' as you call them. I will need your assistance in contacting them."
It wasn't a question whether fellow Kouderrans would be following her. She would force them if she had to, for she needed to get a better grasp on just how they had ended up here. It was clear, though, that this massive group would be split up.
Yuri honestly didn't know what to say. What could he say? Apologizing wasn't going to help anything. He knew that much. Everything was just happening way too fast...

[ I haven't posted all day and I make a crap post. Sorry. xD;; ]
Alice fiddled with the silver locket she wore around her neck, and gave a nervous smile to Tohru. Well, at least she told Mika that Tohru was Alex's caretaker... that meant that he got informed. It was only the right thing to do. Estelle seemed uneasy when the blond stranger approached her, speaking of needing her assistance in order to have a word with the Summon Spirits. Estelle was pretty trusting, but why the Summon Spirits? She clearly hadn't been listening much. She was too concerned about Yuri learning about killing Vera. It wasn't until she heard a reassuring voice that her thoughts eased, "Estelle, it's alright, you can calm down... she needs your assistance in contacting the Spirits because she can't fix Alex otherwise... " His soul... broken? It hurt Alice to hear that about him. She didn't want him to be in such a bad situation. It tore her. Hearing that Mika could help him, she would stay by her side. "Oh... alright," Estelle uttered, smiling at Mika, "I promise you I will assist you in contacting the Spirits. " Did she always have to be so formal?

Mika nodded, pleased that Estelle would be helping her in this endeavour. Perhaps in some way, she could secure safe passage to this world as well, though she wasn't about to push her luck.
"And with this, we shall take our leave," she said softly, more to herself than anything as she tightened her grip on Alex. So close, yet so far. She wasn't even positive this would work. Interfering in another world's power was against the rules, not to mention she hadn't been forced to react with this many humans for quite some time. Regardless, she pushed her doubts aside, turning to Flynn. "There is a demon from our world on the loose. Should you meet him—" An orb of light appeared in front of the Commandant, glowing bright before forming into a white, gleaming gem, designed to immediately attach to whatever piece of weaponry he would desire. "—use this. It is but a fraction of my own power, and should be enough to halt his movements long enough for you to escape, should the need arise. It can also provide you with a barrier for safety when you camp, unless I am mistaken about the monsters in this world."
This, she felt, was more than enough compensation for the troubles. She was, after all, borrowing a member of the royal family, after all.
"So you're just up and taking people now?" Yuri asked, struggling to wrap his head around all of this. "Just who the hell are you?"
Mika's eyes narrowed on Yuri. She did not, however, bless him with an answer.
"We leave now," she finished, her tone carrying with it an edge of finality as she turned her attention back on her group. And with that, regardless of who wanted to go where, glyphs of light formed underneath her and the other Kouderrans, as well as Estelle and Alice. They would be taken to a quiet, more secure location. One where they couldn't be interrupted.
All Yuri could do was watch as it all happened. Never mind that Repede had joined his side again. Never mind that Skade was finally gone. What were they supposed to do now? And Saria and Sync had already left, anyway.

That was... Rude. But what could they do? He just lost a subordinate, and the ambassador for another world at the exact same moment. He knew better than to attack someone of that strength as well. It seemed like the most powerful beings were all gathering here. The maiden was back for a moment, saving them for seemingly her own intentions and then taking Iris, and this new face, taking the ones from Yaluria.
"Yuri... There's nothing we can do to change this. Let's regroup at the inn with the others, and decide a plan after that."
His eyes shifted as Saria and Sync left.
"I don't know if you remember that girl, but I feel like we will be seeing her a lot more soon."
Luria made her way to the two of them, and her nerves were seemingly faded from the adrenaline, because she approached Yuri.
"I... Heard about my mother. Please, don't take responsibility for it. It was the monster, not you."
Flynn hadn't known the girl for very long, so he couldn't give an accurate judgment of how big it was of her to confront Yuri like that. Then again, she was only alive for two days prior, so it could be that her mental age isn't quite able to comprehend what awkward is.
"Excuse me, please..."
Luria left, probably to go be with her mother for a moment before regrouping.

"Right... " Nothing they could do, huh? For once, he had to agree. They weren't exactly crazy enough to just up and attack random people with that much power. Hell, he almost wanted to know what it'd be like putting that strange woman up against Skade or the Maiden.
The Maiden...
He remembered her and Saria, but only just. It had been a while, after all. It had been a hellish experience, though, that was for sure. He wasn't so sure about how he felt about having to deal with the Maiden again, but considering she did just technically save them, he would let it slide.
Yuri fingered the diamond around his neck, frowning in annoyance, partly wishing it weren't so... obnoxious. Not to mention he hated jewelry to begin with. His blastia bracelet was the only exception.
No... if he had to be honest, he was trying to distract himself with his own thoughts. Maybe that was why he almost missed Luria's forgiveness. Catching it, however, only made him wince a little. He didn't deserve it, and no amount of comfort from Repede was going to make him feel better about it. His eyes drifted to Torrent, watching as Repede sniffed cautiously at it. He really wanted to just leave it there. It was dangerous.
It was precisely because of its danger, however, that he knew he couldn't just leave it around. If it fell in the wrong hands (again), who knew what could happen. So, reluctantly, the long-haired swordsman picked up the claymore before making his way to the Inn. He may as well get there early.
