Tch.
Ishtar clicked her tongue as another jolt of pain ran up her arm. She pulled back on instinct, releasing her focus. The small fragment of plant left behind by Visage of Titania tried to worm its way back into place in her wrist. Her lips curled into a snarl before she paused, frowned, and let out a soothing breath. Anger was a crutch, a false strength. It gives me nothing but a clouded mind. Calm. A relaxed spirit is what Visage responds to best. Breathe. She...

Night came all too quickly and most of the revolving door of visitors had come to an end. Most were inconsequential in her eyes. Barely worthy of note. Members of ASTAs board, Sonya's people, came and went without incident. None were overly concerned about her state. In this new post-pandora age, what did it even mean to get sick or injured? As long as one knew a good healer, anyway.
The Mint woman had not come yet, though representatives of the Pandora Committee had arrived to filter t...

Everything was murky for a while. Like floating at the bottom of a pool. The little mote of consciousness could still breathe in those depths, still feel alive, yet the world seemed so distant, so far away. There was a sense of urgency, somewhere, inside? Outside? Separate but together, contained and unleashed, a discord of contrary concepts bounding around in the depths, setting the water to boil. The little mote of consciousness tried to reach towards the surface. There was light there, ord...

Liberty fumed as she marched through the trees. To think Ishtar had such an option in reserve. How did she get them past Halloway? She’d have to ask him once the job was done. Ultimately it didn’t matter how many villains Ishtar sent to interfere, so long as she dealt with Black Lotus and Evergreen, the rest would fall into place. Without them clearing the dungeon from the inside her goals would be achieved. The only variable was the villain who had confronted her outside th...

One-Hundred Eighty Petals!
Chunhua’s weapon turned into a blur as she released a torrent of lightning fast jabs, each of them flickering with off-pink light that shot out at a distance, catching a dozen of the figures that were approaching in formation. I need to thin them out, they’re coming faster and faster. Something’s going on outside, she thought quickly as a man in a suit of armor charged at her, broadsword raised over his head. She snapped a kick out to t...

Lillian was exhausted. She felt like there was just nothing left in the tank for her to pull out. She sat down on the cot that had been provided for her at the camp just outside the break zone, letting her head hang. During the fighting she hadn’t had any time to think or process what was happening. Now it felt like it was all coming back to her in waves. She reached up and rubbed her eyes before letting out a tired sigh. I need to meditate and consolidate what I learned. If I take too ...

Graff stalked through the trees towards their destination. Apparently Ishtar had gotten them as close as she was able to, given that there was some guy interfering with her ability to make portals. He was kind of interested in that. Someone who could actually interfere with her powers was worth noticing. She still punched through but given how pissed she sounded on that announcement, he had to assume it wasn’t easy. Still. She’d made arrangements for him, somehow, ensured that the guards ...

To say the situation was bad would be a historic understatement. Sonya tried to pull herself to her feet, but she just felt… helpless. How could she not have anticipated an attack on the Seattle dungeon? No. There was no precedence for this in the previous timeline. Artificially instigating a dungeon break, let alone two in a single day? Madness. Things were hard enough back then without people experimenting with dungeons. Did I cause this by stopping the New York blast and stabilizing ...

The field of smooth snow had turned into a killing ground. Ice spikes jutted about everywhere, massive humanoid shaped sculptures of ice lay in pieces here and there, trees were uprooted, some burning with an eerie blue-white flame. A portion of the space had been crushed by what appeared to be a glacier that had been pulled from the very ground itself, dirt and debris tossed about. Phillip lay against one of the pillars of ice as he caught his breath, putting pressure on a wound. His eyes fl...

Handmaiden hurtled backwards through the air, colliding with one building after another. Masonry fell around her as she struck a steel beam, denting it before sliding off in a bloody heap. She felt her spine snap back into place as she struggled to her knees, her limbs snapping and cracking as her regeneration immediately set to work. She rose to her feet and swayed a little, her vision blurring before becoming clear again. She looked down at her right hand, examining the armor on the gauntle...

Crusader slid to a stop and planted her sword in the ground, focusing all her energy on pushing her aura to its limits. Her skin gleamed as she became the rock in the river. The platform on which her friends could stand upon. Harbinger pulled away from Dirge’s opening assault while Sojourn was pulled bodily towards a laughing BLF whose eyes had begun to glow with an amber light, his fangs bared. “You done goofed!” BLF shouted with mirth as Sojourn let out a sudden gasp of pain, BLF’s ...

The wind whipped past Handmaiden as she stared down into the vacant eyes of the creature that most certainly had to be the boss of the dungeon break. Her gown whipped around her, the rustling of fabric the only sound amidst the eerie silence of the epicenter. She flexed the fingers in her gauntlet-clad hands and glanced up at the sky when the boss didn’t move. Guarding the portal, no doubt, she thought as multicolored lightning flashed soundlessly in dark clouds. She reached up to ...

The billowing cloud had nearly reached the arch leading into the Kato ward. Crusader drew in a breath and lowered her sword to her side, grip tightening. Flames erupted in her palm and spread up her arm and down the length of her blade. An inferno of gold wreathing her. She tilted her head up as the aches eased, her jaw set tightly. Alphonse fluttered into the air and darted towards safety, his wings restored enough to move. To Crusader’s right, a nine-foot tall Harbinger took a fighting st...

It was like facing her teacher for the first time in a spar. One moment he was at a distance, the next he was inches away, his hand already moving forward to spear her with those long metallic fingers. He’d wedged them together into a spear point, a brutal tool to deliver a quick and painful death. Crusader’s training saved her life, though, power rushing through her legs as she kicked off the ground, cycling her internal energy as she managed a foot of distance before he struck. Her weap...

BOOOOOOOM
The entire building shook. The ceiling trembled and the lights flickered as Sonya caught herself on the railing. Shuta grabbed his mother while Marta planted her feet and rode it out, a stern look on her face. Sirens blared. Sonya pushed herself up and whirled. A warning symbol appeared in her HUD, an alert from the local Carter Radar. Mana surge. Dungeon Break!
She pointed to Shuta, “Get your people upstairs down here, now!” she shouted.

Sonya stood atop the mezzanine looking over a large chamber, her hand on the rails. She stared down into the crowd of people milling about. Little cots here and there as they kept to themselves. There was a row of tables on one side of the room laden with food where a few workers assembled meals for the residents, doors off to the side led to simple dormitories. She felt her stomach twist, “I didn’t know there were so many light-touched in your care,” she said quietly.
