Clicking her fingers, the air some distance away form them came to be completely sill, no longer able to conduct any sound and leaving the onlookers baffled at the following silent conversation. Hiraga was fine with the other woman overhearing - she couldn't point a finger on it, but something about her aura felt familiar. It seemed so distant, somethign she didn't feel for a long time and could not recall properly. Perhaps she would reveal it on her own.

"I am Hiraga, third born of the Sun and Moon, warden of Earth and the mistress of nature." she introduced herself after listening to Ben's plan. "Amos... I did not hear that name spoken in so long." she mused, her gaze pointed on the horizon in the direction of what remained of New York. "I have thought about him often. He was done wrong by the youngest of the fools, it drove him mad. But Even so, he retaliated against your kind, rather than his brother as was jsut. I have left him in his prison as punishment, and my anger did not subside enough to let him out before." she explained.

The truth was little different - Hiraga thought about when to release Amos - if ever - but arrived at one catch: She didn't know [i]how[/i]. She only awoke after the battle started, and the Guardian had her hands full with killing the Reaper spawn and healing the damage they did to have a hand in the battle itself. "I learned a valuable lesson that day. Destroy the disease at the source. If I sent them all to another plane while they busied themselves with killing each other, Earth might have been better off." she noted, sounding angry and remorseful at the same time, "Which is why I wish to hear of your plan. Do not be mistaken - I wish for this land to be made as before more than anyone. But I will not allow you to act unless I am sure it can not backfire and end up being much worse. And right now, releasing someone who could bring an army of demons they have been growing all this time for what we know does not make me want to follow you."

Taking a breath, Hiraga calmed down. "But I have only heard the general outline. So, Mr. Crowly, continue - How do you intend to even accomplish this feat? I do not posses the knowledge to transcend the barrier between worlds. You speak of a key, but do you know exactly what it will do? Understand that it is in my powers to remake this world when it would be nearing it'S end. But if you were to tear the planes asunder once more by accident, it is a possibility that everything would just vanish into oblivion, and there would be nothing to take it's place. You will have to walk over my dead body before I let you do that, and that would be quite the spectacular feat in the era we live in."
