[center][color=0054a6][u][h2]Arte Firaga[/h2][/u][/color][/center] [center]Somewhere between the arena, the slums, and the grand market[/center] [@Evanist], [@RolePlayerRoxas] Arte was about to comment on something, but, monsters decided to show up, instead. They were everywhere, too, and a few of them were right in front of the group. He didn't want to speak, right now, and he thought for a moment... if he tried to spread his spell's effects, he might hurt innocents, and, as many enemies as he'd kill that way, he didn't want to harm any of the town's citizens with his magic right now. [i][color=0054a6]Dang... if this battle took place anywhere but a city, I'd be more than happy to just show off, and attack everyone... but, no, I can't risk it.[/color][/i] Arte thought as he cast a thundaga spell at whatever enemy was closest to his two allies and his friend. The blue mage, despite the monsters showing up, was still holding onto Vincent, and Vincent didn't like that one bit. [color=0054a6]"Um... ma'am? Would you please set my friend down? We kind of need him to be able to move his hands, and shoot at things, alright?"[/color] Arte asked the lady, as calmly as he could. Just as well, while the first monster was defeated by Arte's spell, another, identical monster took its place in battle, and taking a look around, that seemed to be a theme... if only the civilians could fight, then we might have a slight chance. [color=0054a6]"There's so many of them..."[/color] Arte thought out loud as he looked over what was once a perfectly peaceful town, and his own hometown. Arte would have tried to cast Firaga, again, but this situation called for no risks... and so far, every time he's tried to cast that spell, it's exploded in his face, most of the time, literally. Arte thought for a moment, and tried to focus his magic to a straight line, and when he was trying to decide where... something told him to head to the Crystal palace, so, instead of trying to exit the city with this, he tried to make some sort of path to the crystal... [i][color=0054a6]I wonder if Vincent heard that same voice... maybe I'm just going insane like grandpa... ugh, I hoped that day would come MUCH later...[/color][/i] Arte thought as he saw the lightning from his spell spark and throw itself at whatever enemies were in its path, hopefully keeping normal people safe, and hopefully only going across a line like Arte needed it to.
