Himeko raised an eyebrow at this Odette's words. That was odd, they should leave? She hardly had a chance to think more before the entire area seemed to change. Odette was gone and some monstrous beings replaced her being there. Her hand went to her katana and she replied to Charlotte. [color=ba55d3]"Whack? That is barbarous."[/color] She said before she started a small chant. [color=ba55d3]"Kami, grant me strength and bless my blade to tear through evil."[/color] In the meantime, her wings slipped free of their magical confines and flapped once. Charlotte, if she looked to Himeko, would see the Tengu lightly pull out her sword before there was a flash where she was and a flash where the closest of the evil ghosts were. She would see that Himeko was practically dancing, as if choreographed for some play with each strike place right where she wanted. The katana glowed with a bright light as the effect seemed to burn away at the evil spirits. It took no time at all for her to cut through the enemies to the last, where she cut it vertically in half and took to the sky only to fly right over where she was before, retracting her wings mid-air and completing a couple of flips before landing back next to Charlotte. [color=ba55d3]"Precise cuts and slashes are much more civilized, Charlotte. Now, where has that Odette gone?"[/color]
