Meruin inhaled and exhaled, her excitement was beginning to rise along with the intensity of the fight that raged on. Despite her scholarly attitude, Meruin's soul had always sung to the tune of battle. It was her nature and she embraced it wholeheartedly, even if she keept it under control, never allowing it to show completely. 

The Children under her relayed her messages. They were crude and not quite what you would usually associate with the word 'message', but as their summoner, she understood their meaning well enough - everyone was fighting back, aiming to get rid of them. Hopefully, that meant they would all be aiming for her, as that would be the ideal situation. Even if they did not, that was fine; that was only a secondary objective. The primary objective of summoning the Children had already been fulfilled - which considering what then happened was favorable: each and everyone of her summons disappeared.

Meruin nearly jumped in shock. Not destroyed, [i]disappeared[/i]. 

[i]'What? Who could have . . .'[/i]

. The small mage then did a very strange thing - she grinned. Not smiled or smirked, [i]grinned[/i]. There was a mage on such a level among the participants here! One that she didn't know about! Very well, if that was the case, it would be rude of her not to respond in kind. 

While chanting, Meruin drew on the air with her finger, a complex array of runes forming a wall of text around her. With a swipe of her hand, several of the runes glowed and three figures stepped through. The figures . . . were all Meruins. Even the feeling of magic they gave of was precisely the same. The only thing that seemed different about them was that they didn't quite feel [i]real.[/i]

[i]'Illusionary Summoning: Taboo of Heavenly Trickery'[/i]

Then, right as they were summoned, [i]all three Meruin's began chanting spells along with the original.[/i] The runes that remained in the air circled about Meruin like glowing flies.
