"[b]To save me. And now we get back to what I was telling you before: [i]I can take care of myself[/i].[/b]" The brunette threw her arms up in the air, clearly exasperated. "[b]You sound pretty sure of yourself considering this [i]thing[/i] whole-fully possessed you. What if it happens again? How do you know you call to it and not the other way around? What...what were you thinking?![/b]" Emiri felt so angry and frustrated she found herself repeating her previous words. The girl started pacing in front of Jaakuna, clearly not happy with the situation. She remembered her own nightmare and it clicked into her head. "[b]You have to get it out. You need to make sure he doesn't take over your body again.[/b]"

Shion was not a woman to easily stun. She had encountered various enemies in her life and has been on the brink of death so much that Death was but an ally of hers. Never in her life had anything ever surprised her, as battle was just second nature for her. Now, however, she was completely and utterly shocked. Boy was that a dangerous feeling. As Francis smiled at her, she only stared at him in disbelief. Oh she did not like being surprised like that. She found herself touching her lips with her finger, though quickly removed her hand as she looked away. Dear gods this was dangerous. Her rose glowed again, and she lightly patted it. "[b]The girl isn't with them.[/b]" She said, her voice coming out quieter than she had intended it to. "[b]Hm. I wonder...she can't be too far.[/b]"

"[b]Alright then, let's dance.[/b]"

A surge of magic rushed through her veins, and as Nadeline's staff clashed with Meli's sword, she felt the magicks within calling out to her. The feather in her hair glowed, and as Nadeline pushed off her sword, she spotted the all too familiar tendrils closing in on her. Without missing a beat, Nadeline raised her staff in the air. "[b]Thundaga![/b]" She called, summoning several bolts of lightning to come down and zap through each tendril. After a second, however, she then realized exactly what had just happened. That wasn't White Magic. That was Black Magic. She had intended to repel the shadows with a Protect, but what came instead was a Thundaga. Meli was just as surprised, having been expecting the same thing. The sheer force of the spell also left the air with some static and had ripped through the shadows like it was nothing. The princess' magic was strong, that much she had to admit.

Still, in those few seconds of realization, Nadeline recovered from the shock: "[b]Faith![/b]" She called, greatly enhancing her magic, though she then pointed her staff at Savayna. "[b]Bravery![/b]" The spell sang through the air and wrapped itself around the blonde's sword.
