The ground around Alya rose to form an area; trapping both herself and Travis in a large enclosed space. However this caused Alya to lose sight of the rest of her teammates. [color=89e9f0][i]'Thadeus is treating us like entertainment... Why? Is the objective to retrieve the Paragon not more important.'[/i][/color] Alya thought to herself with a slight frown. She quickly switched to a combat stance with her staff held with both of her hands and pointed at Travis. [color=89e9f0]"Someone died. I felt it when I entered this place; a fresh death. My condolences."[/color] Alya told Travis knowing what he meant by the price that their group paid. After a brief pause she finally stated. [color=89e9f0]"I am sorry it has to come to this, but you leave me no choice to take the Paragon from you by force."[/color] Alya quickly suppressed her natural calming aura and after a brief moment of focus she turned that aura into one of dread and exhaustion. To a regular person this would sap their strength and falter their will. Alya then struck towards Travis' legs with her staff in a downward diagonal sweeping motion, the runes on her staff shifted color from sky blue to dark purple as it traveled through the air. Contact the staff would greatly amplify the exhaustion effect of the aura.
