Her initial offer for exfiltration shot down, Raven would listen as Deni would offer her friendship with assistance in the fight. Nodding several times and looking in the direction indicated by the small ronin. [color=steelblue]"I would love that. I don't have very many friends. You are the fifth and sixth people I've had the chance to meet."[/color] She would state cheerfully but still rather matter of fact. Watching from where they were, climbing higher she could see the chaos in the Beacon area.

The girl's attention was drawn away from the scene for a moment as Faith introduced herself. Listening intently The girl's eyes sparkled. [color=steelblue]"Oh!"[/color] Raven's casual movements would become much more deliberate and measured. She would take a step back and curtsy, bowing her head respectfully. [color=steelblue]"My apologies. I didn't realize I was in the presence of a Demi-Goddess. Raven Bianchi..."[/color] She would pause realizing she didn't have much claim to fame that her predecessor had and thus no title. Couldn't hurt to add her patrons though. They were relatively harmless after all. [color=steelblue]"Representative of the ravens Huginn and Muninn. At your service."[/color] It was nothing fancy, but she could think up something better later. Even with no way to know if what Faith claimed was true, the fey still would be Raven's elder and owed a level respect none the less. For someone that shared the look and last name of Shining Scale the girl seemed to be an extremely green magical girl.

Any intent to continue conversation was quickly shut down. Raven could feel the oppressive spirit magic building in another area of the park. Before long a stream of souls would break from the darkness and begin to sweep toward the group that Deni had pointed out just earlier. Shuddering, the girl would hug herself tightly as a pang of fear shot through her. The effects of the sea of souls was as apparent to her as the night sky. Having one's soul ripped away was a difficult thing to explain, but it would be far worse being swept away by the rush of souls. Ronin's previous encouragement snapped her back to the present as it sparked a new determination in Raven. Getting herself in the right mental space she would close her fists. [color=steelblue]"Snap out of it Raven. She's right, you have to do something."[/color] Raven would say out loud to herself. A thought crossed her mind, but there wasn't enough time to explain. [color=steelblue]"I need to take care of something Lady Burgundy, but I'll be back to help as soon as I can."[/color] Her mind made up she would teleport away with a focused glint in her eyes, assuming she wasn't interrupted that is. 

Despite being an ally to a couple Beacon girls, Raven's allegiance were to the ravens, the spirits, and to an extent the gods. Still she had watched the twins throw themselves into danger to try and save a particular girl. The ones attempting to protect Ishtar would see an unknown girl appear above the Cardinal and reach out and grab hold of the time locked girl. Being in a stasis Raven wouldn't encounter the resistance that Jenna did and after a few moments the two would vanish from the battlefield.

That defense spell was a good call apparently as it deflected an attack from the Monster Queen. However, the situation was beginning to change rapidly. The queen was being hoisted out of the building by a flying ship. Debris was falling down as the payload struggled. Twisted pieces of the roof, support beams, and other crap started raining down to join the already ruined structure. [color=lightblue]"So much for the warehouse."[/color] A canopy was growing overhead now which would help with any further falling objects. Her use of Wood magic was probably the most unique he'd ever seen. 

Marveling at the creativity of others magic aside, more and more were throwing themselves onto the close range combat. To some extent that made things a bit tougher as he couldn't just unload your usual volley, which given the monster was covered in water from the rain and tangled in chains would probably be fairly effective. They were however making a few good cuts that he could make use of. [color=lightblue]"Let's see here."[/color] Scrounging around through the junk on the ground he would pick out three loose steel rods. Salvaging some copper he would coil it around the steel and make his way over to one of the acorns. [color=lightblue]"So how exactly does this-"[/color] Not entirely knowing what to expect the first trip was a bit hectic, but he managed to ride the the log the brief seconds he was in contact to not entirely tumble through the air thanks to Mount. Book in one hand and rods stowed in his cloak he would be launched off the ground, past the branches, and into the night air.

Closing the distance to the monster queen he hadn't flown directly at her it seemed, but that wasn't really a problem. He would have attempted this from the ground but the risk of hitting the wrong target was too high. Taking one of the rods in his free hand he would enchant it with a charge that would loop to create a strong magnetic field. He could do this without the extra bit of work he put in with the copper, but this just made for a more efficient use of his magic. [color=lightblue]"Make an opening! I've got a bolt incoming!"[/color] He would yell out to those around Hyun Long. Pointing the rod toward her main body as best he could he would wait for an opening. When a good one looked to have come he would channel his magic through his arm and use his body as a conductor to create an opposing field. Repelled by the matching poles the rod was launched from Shane's hand at the monster queen. Wasting no time he followed up the projectile with lightning so that if it embedded in the monster queen as he hoped the shock would be delivered straight through into her body.
