Pirila was about to open her mouth to say something when she heard a painful scream, Mili screaming. Before she had any opportunity to react to it however she found herself being violently thrown across the room, landing on the ground several meters away from the couch, dazed as a blinding light envelops the couch.

It takes her barely any time to realise what happened though, and Pirila rushes over to the couch to confirm her worst fears: Mili was gone.

Panicking, Pirila ran over to her bedroom and grabbed a bag standing in the corner - it was filled with emergency supplies in the case they had to leave their home in a moment's notice, but the current situation warranted it's use.

She had to find Mili, no matter what. After all, her disappearance worried Pirila. She wasn't just worried what whatever took Mili would do to her, but she was also worried what Mili might do to everything around her if left unchecked.

Rushing down the stairs she narrowly manages to avoid colliding with Cuna but in doing so fails to avoid Hida, crashing into her and throwing them both to the ground.

Despite never having seen Hida in her current appearance before, Pirila instinctively [i]knows[/i] her. "She's gone." Pirila mutters before getting up from the ground as Hida's eyes widen as she realises what Pirila said.

As Pirila goes through a door to a back room to grab some more useful items, Hida gets up and turns her attention to Shard.

"Well, I suppose things are going to get less dull. Feel like joining me in what will probably be either a fruitless search or a bloody rescue attempt?"

It takes a bit for Mili to realise what's going on, and when she does she's... not very happy and, well, scared.

She tries to move, but finds herself rather thoroughly bound to various surfaces using ropes, and the person standing before her with a knife didn't seem like the kind of person planning on using that knife to cut her loose and rescue her.

Panicking, Mili begins to look around the room for a way out, but she finds none. She's trapped. Defenseless. Nothing she can do to survive. Pirila didn't appear to be nearby either, so she couldn't save Mili either.

...Pirila. Mili had met her years and years earlier... things weren't good back then either.

Mili cried as she looked around. Burning buildings were all around her, and the streets were littered with corpses as blood ran down the drains the community she lived in had built to deal with rain. Not everyone was dead, but all were at least dying, judging by the pained screams and crying coming from all around.

Nuclear Fire had annihilated the world years before, and mankind was slowly starting to rebuild itself. Mili herself was lucky enough to live in one of these communities. She lived a happy, carefree life there.

Until, one night, all that came crashing down as an unknown force swept through her town. In the chaos, the attackers burnt down every house and slaughtered everyone. All but Mili.

It was after this that Pirila found her and took her in. Mili remembered what Pirila had said to her when they met.

"I don't blame you for what you did, you're just a kid after all. But you must forget what happened here."

Now Mili remembered.

She summoned the attackers that burnt her home down.

And she knew she could do it again if needed.

Pirila had, after all, given Mili the training she needed. No longer did she accidentally summon terrible creatures during her nightmares, she learnt how to control her summons. And the bandages Pirila created helped suppress her powers as well, sealing them away behind sacred chains.

But the brief absence of the bandages earlier this day meant her powers were unchained again.

She could defend herself.

Mili screamed out. Not in pain, not in fear, but in anger. Anger over having been taken away from her comfortable home by this strange being, but also anger directed at herself for being so defenseless.

And her eye responded. A red glow manages to escape through the bandage, creating a red, five-pointed star with distorted lines on the bandage as her powers get to work, taking creatures from Mili many nightmares and slowly bringing them into the world.

Even though she herself couldn't directly do anything in her current state, she wouldn't be a defenseless target for anyone. Not now, not ever.

It doesn't take long for the first creatures to slowly materialise in the room. These creatures have something human about them, but their pained and horrified facial expressions, combined with missing limbs and charred bodies make them easy to distinguish from actual humans.

The least horrifying creatures are the easiest for Mili to summon and thus are the best option to delay her attacker while Mili summons things that could actually be threatening. In her state of anger and panic she doesn't realise what she has summoned however.

The entities standing before her, crawling and shambling their way towards Dnias, are all she remembers of the people she used to live with. Her first friends and family, reducing to nothing more but shambling husks in Mili's memories, are now the first to defend Mili from suffering a horrible death herself.

The creatures, mindless and weak, make their way towards Dnias. There are many of them, which is perhaps their only strength as most are unarmed, with some using their own detached limbs as weapons as they attack Dnias.
