The Battle of Ruthria has come to a close,”[/color] said a voice in the shadows. The owner of said voice watched the rumbles that boiled the surface of the ocean from a good distance away, feet planted upon a tree high up in a local forest. A nearby beach side would serve as the [url=http://i.imgur.com/w1AJAOX.jpg]being’s[/url] temporary station. She looked to be of the Demons, but one could never be too sure in an ever shifting location such as the Nexus. And as such, she felt no obligation to join in the battle. Her only role thus far was to watch, wait, and observe. That was her purpose unless told otherwise; until then, she would continue to take note of every loss, every victory, and every life taken. The girl known as Bastion was still unconscious, unaware that Hibiki’s fate would decide her own as well. The Leviathan was dead, body already dissipating and becoming one with the Nexus; though concerning that monster, the observer suspected some sort of foul play. Stark would do as he was told, defending the Contender from any and all threats; and then there was the mighty meteor that was slowly descending on the battlefield to no doubt decimate anything that wasn’t an Angel. The newcomer suspected that the Sector Theta would be obtained soon and with it, the end of the battle. Though she would argue that the conflict was over anyway. Perhaps…but for now, it was time to retreat. She would let the last inklings of this battle play out on their own; there was no more reason for her to remain present. With a nod to herself, the mysterious being stepped away into a patch of darkness to leave the beings of the Nexus to their fate. The next battle was already brewing and the faster this one ended, the sooner the trio of forces could direct their sites to new ambitions and greater conquests.
