[color=bc8dbf][i]Jeanne[/i][/color] - [u]The Archangel[/u]

Passively, Jeanne watched on as the power Sage held began to rise to rather remarkable levels. Yet even in spite of that however, she remained nonplussed. While the assembled powers that be certainly might have been impressive, the time it took to cause such to come to be was not.

Too long did it take, much too long. He would have been cut to ribbons in the time it took if she wished it. 

Yet the strength of the Magic was still noteworthy. Perhaps with further practice and honing, it would be a more viable skill. That, and to increase his capacity of absorption; there was much work to be done. 

Onward he struck, onward he went on his offensive; and the Archangel did not waste a moment in conjuring forth a defense. Two hundred blades reappeared once again, linking together to form an immensely strong two-layered barrier between her and the oncoming strike. There was no mark of fear nor was there hesitation, she knew what she had to do to withstand the oncoming storm. 

What happened next, she did not expect.

In a scattering of cherry blossom petals and powerful Magic, Hana emerged from the heavens, cleaving the oncoming madness in two with ease. Such prowess impressed Jeanne, but the interrogation that occurred only moments later left the Archangel silenced for just a few moments. Her anger had caught her in an improper moment, but the reason for her actions had remained the same.

[color=bc8dbf]"We were in the midst of a spar, Hana."[/color] she began, her swords all simultaneously shattering and scattering in a diamond storm upon the winds as they faded. [color=bc8dbf]"Sage here is on probation for his actions in Valdosta, I was instructed by the Guildmaster to insure that such things don't happen again."[/color]

Slowly taking in a breadth of air, a long sigh of resignation passed her lips as she continued to talk to him. [color=bc8dbf]"That aside, I train people by continually pushing them to their limits. Sage here, has obviously met that limit."[/color]

Her armor plated footfalls were heavy upon the sodden and burned earth as she strode across the distance towards the unconscious Sage. [color=bc8dbf]"He is my responsibility, I will see to it that he receives treatment from Niti."[/color] Wings of gold left feathers of luminous light in her wake as she strode to the boy, and she gingerly picked him up from the earth. 

[color=bc8dbf]"There is, or at least there was activity nearby. Between Revan and an unknown party. Sage will be fine with me if you'd like for us to go investigate that to insure that noone has been killed."[/color]
