She couldn't think. She was panicking. She didn't understand. She held her hand out, but nothing happened. Nothing happened. [i]Nothing happened.[/i] She didn't understand and for that one moment, she forgot all about the battle as her mind was swimming with confused thoughts. A hand appeared in her field of vision, and she saw Jaakuna offering his hand. She was losing it, really, she hadn't even seen him coming. Emiri gripped his hand tightly, letting him pull her up. He reprimanded her for going in without an idea. "[b][color=f6989d]Of course I had an idea it just--my power, it's...[/color][/b]" Her voice trailed off as she looked at her hands. They weren't working. For the first time in her life she couldn't use her power and it was absolutely terrifying. Why? "[b][color=f6989d]Right. I apologize.[/color][/b]" She muttered, not able to properly explain herself. She shook her head, clearing her mind as she took out her sword from the ground. No, it wasn't important why her powers didn't want to work. Right now they were in the middle of a battle, and they needed to win. She took in a deep breath and clocked her head for an idea. Nadeline waved at the two from across the room, and another idea clicked into her head. "[b][color=f6989d]Nadeline and I will occupy its attention, you go and strike it once you see a chance, okay?[/color][/b]" She waved her sword back, patting Jaakuna's shoulder. "[b][color=f6989d]It's worth a shot, anyway.[/color][/b]" Nadeline picked up on Emiri's cue, whipping her rapier around as she ran to the beast. Emiri charged again, this time anticipating its attack and sliding underneath it, joining Nadeline on the other side. "[b][color=fdc68a]Alright, together now~[/color][/b]" Nadeline sang happily, being the first to dart forward. Emiri followed suit, raising her sword to defend herself as she blocked one spear. It was a strong attack, but she managed to hold her ground. At the same time Nadeline dashed forward, spinning in place as the beast swung its other weapon. Her sword glowed as she swung it, and a Protect spell sprung from her sword as it attacked, parrying it.
