[i][color=bc8dbf]Jeanne[/color][/i] - [u]The Valiant Redoubt[/u]

Hana's concerns did not fall on deaf ears in the least while the sword in Jeanne's grasp crackled and sparked with the raw power that she possessed. Yet it still faded and the Archangel's fingertips flexed ever lightly in irritation. Simply because she had over-extended her abilities did not mean she lacked the fortitude to control her magic. 

Watching on as Hana then transported Xavier indoors, the Archangel frowned ever lightly in response as she felt that there was something amiss, even though she couldn't put her finger upon it. There was much turmoil within Lamia Scale after Augustine, and there was not a word of utterance spoken to her about it.

For the elder sisterly figure she had aspired to be for the Guild, it was beyond troubling. Niti had fled from her, Hana had spoken rather suspiciously too to boot, which was completely outside the norm for a Samurai. 

Each time, every conversation had rotated around recently returned Anna...but why?

[color=bc8dbf][i]This will be addressed later...I'll approach Anna directly. Surely she can provide the insight I need to these troubling thoughts.[/i][/color]

A sudden eruption from within the guild caused the fiery white swords she controlled to appear as shrapnel flew about. Combined with the petals that Hana had thrown in her direction, the Archangel scowled further as she heard the issue at hand. Sage had gone and done something foolish and reckless, endangering the well-being of his guild mates in the process. 

Thin lines of light traced across her form as the Armor overtook her figure in the matter of milliseconds. 

[color=bc8dbf]"As much as we should have the company of many to hunt down our troubled one, it could very well be a trap to leave Lamia Scale mostly defenseless. I will go hunting; Hana, come with me please. Otherwise, we should leave some form of defense in the light of this recent offense against us."[/color] Jeanne spoke calmly, but with resounding purpose as she strode into the damaged hall. 

All the while, wings of absolutely beautiful ivory grew upon her back, sprouting outward like a flower's blossom on a springtime day. Turning then, a simple long sword of white fire appeared in her grasp as she bent her knees and leapt powerfully into the sky; streaking across the sapphire heavens at the speed of a falling star.

It did not take long for Jeanne to arrive in Valdosta. So infuriated was she by the embarrassment of Lamia at the hands of the Sage, that the magical strength that the Archangel seemed to emanate was beyond crushing. Eclipsing the ongoing madness below, the purity of light that the Archangel seemed to constantly emanate blinded the darkness as she flew down delve into the depths of the tunnels beneath the surface. Not long after, the Archangel silently landed behind Sage amongst the chaos.

The pressure he was putting off was immense, far out scaling the Sage she had come to know in the past few weeks. It was worrisome for now, but whether or not it bore true fruit in her paranoia of him had yet to be seen. 

[color=bc8dbf]"Sage. You are hereby [i][b]ordered[/b][/i] to return to Lamia Scale. Hana is on her way along with a few others. Return or face far more dire consequence, we will handle what remains here."[/color]
