Alya remained silent as Thadeus had his dialogue with Raiya. [color=89e9f0][i]'Her claims against Thadeus can't be true. Murdering an entire village? I know he has the tendency to be ruthless at times, but that is a bit much.'[/i][/color] She thought as Thadeus and Raiya conversed. As the beginnings of a battle begun she respected her opponents wishes and faced Travis. [color=89e9f0]"I do not wish to fight you, but if you will not surrender the Paragon I have no other choice."[/color] Alya stated with a confident and firm tone in her voice. As she did this she produced what looked like a metal stick from her robes. With a swift flick the stick fully extended metal staff. The staff stood at 5'6" long and had ornate runes engraved through out it. After a few moments the runes began to glow light blue with magic. Alya took a step forward towards Travis, as she stepped forward Alya made a quick motion with her hand and she was enveloped by a nearly transparent barrier with a light blue tinge. The barrier was obviously a magical ward, though if one were to analyze it more thoroughly they would discover that very little mana is currently being channeled into it. Alya held her staff next to her with a single hand and waited for Travis to make a move.
