Celia was by herself, trying to do as much as she could to fix things. She was used to being alone, but the [color=magenta]Despair[/color] that loomed over the city felt overbearing. But the empath wouldn't let it hinder her. So, collecting the some of despair magic, she hunted down as much of the lesser undead and such as she could, while helping some monster and dark magical girls get to safety, giving them [b]Hope[/b].

 She didn't care if any bigger threats like the ascendants-or-another decide to try and claim her head as a prize. They would have to try their hardest to kill who is basically already dead herself.

 Besides, there was someone she was meeting up with.
[hr][hr]

 Eliza and Maura ended up meeting with the rest of their team at the former's appartment. The angel was able to catch up on what's been happening, but it pained her to hear that things have taken a turn for the worst. To keep herself calm, she decided to talk with her patron a bit.

 [color=mediumpurple]“Hey...Maura?”[/color]

 [color=crimson]“Hm?”[/color] The mage looked over at Eliza. [color=crimson]“Is something the matter?”[/color]

 [color=mediumpurple]“What's with this order- balance stuff we have to concern over?”[/color]

Maura thought for a moment. [color=crimson]“From what I can tell, it's what keeps worlds, dimensions from collapsing on theirselves. For example, the power balance of light and darkness. If either side of this war wins, or if both die trying. Then I fear the worst may happen to this place.”[/color] she shook her head in disgust. [color=crimson]“Those damn vermin, they've finally lost their heads amidst their self righteousness.”[/color] the mage hissed.

 Eliza patted her patron on the back to calm her down. [color=mediumpurple]“Okay...but, why does it seem like you're the only lesser force who cares?”[/color]

 [color=crimson]“What does thou mean- Sorry, old speech habit.”[/color]

 [color=mediumpurple]“We don't see any others caring about this war, right? What makes you any different?”[/color] Though the question may come off as hostile, the angel appeared genuinely curious, other than worried.

 [color=crimson]“My dear apprentice, if I wasn't different, I wouldn't have ended up a renegade in the first place.”[/color] Maura chuckled then turned her attention back to the meeting.

 [color=crimson]“Right, Amanda and Valerie, keep me updated if something comes up. Everyone else, stay alert. If you find anything having to do with the Ascendancy, or it's leader, let Amanda know. And for those who are willing to go to Vi's party...”[/color] She ruffled Eliza's hair. [color=crimson]“Keep the children of the dark safe, in case of a sudden ambush. Dismissed.”[/color]

Once everyone dispersed, Eliza threw her cloak's hood back over her head when she stepped back outside. Theresa in her human form caught up to her shivering a bit from the cold. [b]“So? What now?”[/b]

 The angel held onto her ruby coin tightly. [color=mediumpurple]“Well, I am concidered a monster, right?”[/color] she weakly smiled at her familiar, and with her in tow, went to join the party.
