Darkness. That was the only term that could encompass what spilled outward into the sky in the distance. It was hardly a tangible thing, yet it pulled at those who witnessed it all the same. It was a surge of malice, a pulsing hatred on the world... and, at the moment, a manifestation of pride. It looked around it and saw no equal, believed nothing could actually harm it.

But that was before the eruption of holy power. The darkness recoiled in its wake, its pride diminishing and its malice fading back. And yet, Annabeth's concern did not waver; if anything, it increased. Not because of the vile aura, but because of the judgement attack. To unleash something like that, even for Jeanne, was a catastrophic risk. And one she was all too familiar with...

All at once, four brilliant white lines streaked through the air as a cluster of magical arrows rained down in front of Yunin's path, following directly behind Hana's slashing salvo. In the wake of the small explosions caused by the Dawnburst arrows, a single figure clad in a white and purple dress descended with an almost gentle grace onto the ground. As the small dust cloud settled, Lamia Scale's Indomitable Sniper rose to her full height, her bow in hand, to stand between the monstrosity known as Yunin and the bruised, battered mages she knew as her family. Her eyes, already flashing silver with the power of her ocular magic, stared at the fell creature without so much as a casual blink. In them was no trace of fear, no sign of hesitation, no modicum of doubt; only a silent ceaseless focus as she measured her target.

Her gaze broke but once, as she turned her head to look back at Jeanne as she lay atop the cloud of petals. She was terribly hurt, her outpouring of energy burning even her own flesh in its ardor. But she would live. She would walk. And she would wield her powers again safely, albeit after a brief period. It was nothing short of a miracle... but Annabeth had accepted miracles before.

[color=f7941d][b]"Jeane..."[/b][/color] she said quietly as she shook her head, [color=f7941d][b]"You should never do such things to yourself."[/b][/color]

[color=f7941d][b]"However, the punishment here is not yours to bear."[/b][/color]

Her eyes snapped back toward Yunin, now ablaze with all the primordial fury wielded by a mother to a hurt child!

[color=f7941d][b][i]"It's for the one who pushed you toward it."[/i][/b][/color]

In the skies above what once was the town of Augustine, several hundred twinkling lights began to appear, glowing like stars in the sky. Any who looked upward at them, however, would soon discover that rather than stars, it was a sky full of Annabeth's arrows that now descended at high speeds, shining white missiles plummeting by the score- and locked onto Yunin! As the small storm landed and lashed into the demonic being with sharpened tips and explosive force, three more Dawnburst Arrows materialized in Annabeth's hands, much larger than their raining brethren, and in an instant she had knocked them into her bowstring. Her magically empowered eyes allowed her vision to cut through the chaotic mass of energy to see her target, mark his chest, and loose her shots toward it for an erupting conclusion to the attack!

[color=f7941d][b]"This isn't over. Hana, please keep Jeanne safe for me. But keep her nearby. Her life is not yet in danger, and I may need her help."[/b][/color]

As she finished speaking, Anna loosed another volley of arrows at Yunin and knocked three more, waiting to see what the evil god would do in response. It didn't matter to her what he was- he had harmed her family, and that was not something she would forgive. [i]Ever.[/i]
