[color=ed1c24][b]“What kind of people would do that as a warning?”[/b][/color] Jaakuna asked, clearly uneasy about the entire thing. When they did start telling him about what they knew, Jaakuna found himself, surprisingly, uneasy about hearing it. To cause such a large - and widespread - amount of damage just to send a warning, the people responsible must either have big plans, or are truly twisted right down to their very core. It sickened Jaakuna just thinking about it. You know it’s bad when Jaakuna Darcone became truly sickened by something or the actions of someone. [color=ed1c24][b]“Nabudis - such a shame what happened there.”[/b][/color] JAakuna remember hearing stories about Nabudis from his father. It was truly horrifying, even thinking about it lit up that fiery anger inside of Jaakuna. [color=ed1c24][b]“Prince Lorenzo, I’d hate to ask you this -especially when I understand that you have to be with your wife during this troubling time, but could you show Emiri and I where the explosion site is at?”[/b][/color] Jaakuna understood he was probably asking a lot, especially given the circumstances, but was there really any other choice in the matter? [hr] When Nadeline had effortlessly fended off Ultima’s attack, The High Seraph let out an amused sound from her mouth. She was impressed. Obviously she underestimated the Rozarria princess. She won’t make that mistake again. As Nadeline would charge up some lightning-based spell, there was Ultima ready for whatever she had to give her. Sounds of crackling lightning made Ultima simply blink her eyes once, a veil of protection magick forming. It was just as well because, just three seconds later, Nadeline announced her attack, and a ball of black lightning came forth at the speed of - yup, you guessed it! Lightning. - it came, and Ultima did nothing. Her Protection Veil would be enough. However, there was a problem with it as Ultima noted with the arch of her eyebrow. The ball of lightning, though it didn’t get through, it seemed that her Protection Veil and the Shock spell were at a deadlock. Apparently the amount of defensive power Ultima had placed was equal - or maybe slightly less than - that of Nadeline’s Shock. [b]“This is most certainly unexpected.”[/b] Ultima noted, [b]“nevertheless, you’ll have to do much better than that.”[/b] she said, hands placed in front of her. Pulses of Magick surging through the golden-white veil in front of her, and it sent forth the shock spell upward to the mist-filled clouds of Giruvegan, sounds of exploding lightning heard. What Ultima didn’t realize was that the explosion was surprisingly great that she didn’t expect there to be such a large hole in the clouds. Even more so, it seemed that the clouds were now transformed into thunder clouds. [b]“I take that back, Nadeline Roselia. You seem far more capable than what I see before me. Because of that,”[/b] Ultima paused. Her mechanical castle spinning, a mist field generating below it almost like a jet propeller. It then started to come apart, dissolve was more like it. It dissolved into copper brown-colored fragments of mechanical steel, with Ultima’s feet landing on the ground. [color=6ecff6][b]“Uh, what’s she doing?”[/b][/color] Savayna asked, looking around for answers. [color=fff79a][b]“I’ve read about this in a text one time.”[/b][/color] Wesley recalled. [color=fff79a][b]“And if she dissolves that which she sits upon, then true light will be seen, for The High Seraph will show her true power when her two golden feet are planted upon the same soil that the Humes she watches over walk on every day of the year.”[/b][/color] [color=6ecff6][b]“In simple terms?”[/b][/color] [color=fff79a][b]“Just watch, and you’ll find out.”[/b][/color] Wesley smirked much to Savayna’s annoyance. [b]“Nadeline Lenore Roselia,”[/b] Ultima called out, her dress hiking up somewhat, leaving the ground, [b]“I realize now that I, The High Seraph, may have underestimated you. That stops now. If you truly want a fight with me in every essence of that word, then as you Humes say,”[/b] Ultima’s arms were spread out like a cross, [b]“show me what you got!”[/b] she arrogantly smirked.
