[b]+ Toran (Resolution & Shio) +[/b]

The people of Toran were clearly shaken by the events of the previous night. Many were forced to deal with painful memories they had wished to keep buried, the loved ones they had laid to rest strewn about the streets as the powers that controlled them vanished, leaving their purposeless form out in the cold. However, they would not be reburied alone. In cruel twists of fate, the very ones that had been lain to rest now put those who had honored them so vigilantly to rest with them.

But it was a night that could have been worse. Despite whatever intention the trainers that unlocked the power of Dark Aesni had, they had ended the ravaging of Toran quickly, likely saving many lives. Although, such information was not widely known. Most of the people, especially the more religious ones, attributed it to the divine intervention of Suzaku, swearing that the wall of light could have been from none other than him.

Shio was unsure of what to think. Despite her training, there was something about the events that made it difficult to suppress them. She had said nothing the night before, quickly vanishing from the other trainers in order to process what had happened. She had rarely felt as ineffectual as she had that night, despite her being considered one of the best exorcists currently living. Shio suspect that Cat, Violet, and Anastasia felt somewhat the same, as the four of them had been overwhelmed despite their positions in society. Anastasia was one of the Arena Masters, supposedly one of the strongest Trainers in all of Atren. Cat and Violet were incredibly famous as a crime fighting duo in Lifan, but all four of them had essentially failed. If the woman who the entity had called Rinkoo hadn't shown up, Shio would have been one of the ones in the ground.

Shio spent most of the morning assisting the people of Toran. She healed small wounds that had been caused to the people during the horde's attack, as well as preformed prayer services on the graves of those returned to the ground, as well as those newly buried. It was the only time she had felt effective in the last twenty four hours.

The town itself was abuzz with rumors of what had happened. Some theorized it as a war between the Four, or worse, a war between the Void itself and the mortal world. Few businesses had chosen to reopen that next morning, most staying closed, or opening solely to provide some kind of assistance to the recovery effort. A few restaurants were serving as makeshift check in points for families to ensure they reconnected, as many people had been separated or gone missing in the night. A few search parties had been formed to scour the city for the missing people. Most were children that had taken refuge in a cupboard or closet and were quickly found asleep, exhausted from the night.

Shio was considering returning home for a bit to discuss the events with her father, as such a tale was best left in person.
