[i][color=f6989d]The Nameless One[/color][/i] - [b][u]Intervention[/u][/b]

The Demonic one was the first to catch back up with her, mentioning glowering suspicion at her appearance. It was rather comical to think that he, a half-abomination, was casting initial judgments based on appearances; and she smirked lightly behind her mask of ivory as a result. Yet beneath the fluttering edge of her obsidian hood, the Nameless one said nothing until the others finally managed to catch back up with the others. 

Quietly, the sword-using Magi landed behind him, but she remained reserved at first. Uttering nothing at all to start.

Finally however, came the uproarious Ice Duet. Both of them having lost the majority of their clothes in the process. One of which seemed far more fiery than the last as it surged forward to attack the masked Magi. In response, she made no return on the aggression. The first kick tore through the air towards her head, and her arm rose to block it. Leg crashed against the layered armor of the Magi's arm.

But what was most importantly as she slowly stepped back defensively and easily parried each oncoming foot with her finertips, Gwen would start to notice something odd. Magic unfurled from her will, but not as fluidly as it normally could. Her legs obeyed her kicks to command, but each seemed more weakened than the last as with each parry, her legs became more and more numb.

The masked woman's magic, as subtle and invisible as it was, was certainly getting to work in all of its venomous fashion. 

Yet the intervention of her close friend, or sibling, what have you, changed the tide of the conflict. It came to an abrupt end, and the Masked one ceased her defense just as she allowed one kick to strike her sternum. Sending her skidding backwards and away from the magic that had been conjured. She crouched for a moment, acting as if she were nursing the blow she had been dealt, but that was the last of it. 

[color=f6989d]"I [i]never[/i] said once I was a good Samaritan, Demon."[/color] She scowled lightly behind the mask. [color=f6989d]"And you two, for the sake of decency, [i]please[/i] put on some clothes."[/color]

Finally, the quiet one spoke however, this time with the most civility of the group of four. [color=f6989d]"Actually, yes. I am a [i]simple[/i], humble magi just like you. Was wondering if you'd like to travel with me some...rather than spend a few nights in a bitterly frigid cell. Though we ought to be moving, your friends' little light show will have likely drawn some unwarranted attention."[/color]
