[/center] [color=Aquamarine]Where was she? Where was she, where was she, where was she?[/color] Went Midna’s thoughts as she strained to try and detect Ciella in the swirling sand her (now departed) Vibrava had helped her fan out, only for the woman to announce herself high above where she’d been expecting her to go [color=Aquamarine]there!- wait fu-[/color] the princess’ thoughts and lined up vending machine throw where interrupted as Ciella blasted a massive, fast and basically undodgeable arrow spray that lanced through, well everything. Including her. Midna screamed with fury and pain as her partially healed body was once again hammered by the siren’s incredibly powerful magics which ripped through basically everyone and, worse, the arena itself, parts of which started teetering and tumbling into Ciella all encompassing vail. Once it passed the princess hauled her once again practically broken body off of the ground with sheer magic and willpower and found that what she had been trying to prevent had come to pass. Ciella, through incompetence, callousness or malice, had torn through the remaining fighters, wounding ‘friend’ and foe alike and, worse, murdering the knocked out teenager in cold blood. [color=Aquamarine]”nonono goddesses no!”[/color] she swore at seeing the girl’s spirit amidst the useless sand she’d failed to use to prevent her death. There wasn't time for grief or self loathing however. Everything was falling apart, and there were still intact bodies on the floor who were at risk of falling, Mao’s now among them. In the distance, the unstoppable Shadow (who she knew had killed Sven but not why due to having her eyes shut while trying and failing to stop Ciella) and Ciella were the only two remaining threats, both wreaking havoc on either side and basically unstoppable in their onslaught/defensive void. Three things to deal with then. Well, four. She also did not want to die, and trying to confront anyone in her ruined state was bound to cause that. So, with weak and bleeding arms, she pointed towards the two powerhouses, and sent the here so far worthless sand wrathfully screaming over the heads of the Thieves and towards the two titans of the arena. There the racing sand stream split in twain, one racing for Shadow as he emerged from his black-hole cocoon, and the other for Ciella, wrapping them both in their own personal densely swirling sand-tomb that would follow them wherever they went. This could probably prevent Shadow from teleporting away with his boss in tow if Ciella was taken out, and would definitely make hitting targets harder for both of them as the swirling sand obscured their vision and its mass of coarse grains lashed at their senses. Rather than go to try and pick any direct flights in her weakened state (not only caused by the crippling her physical form, but also from her lack of aggression had resulting in the dragon dance boosted power fading away), after dropping her strength-less arms to her side the princess instead floated around the arena, using a large shadowhand to collect the bodies of the fallen, attempting to prevent them (and if she had too/could, anyone else) from plummeting into the void due to the ongoing structural collapse. She also tried to prevent them from getting caught in more AOE by moving them, and herself, away from the remaining threats. If danger still came their way, then they were all getting hurled/a giant wolf ride away while she acted as a distraction. But hopefully the two remaining threats had their hands full at the moment. Doing all this would also create a central medical emergency spot if a certain thief was able to be spared to help her and Mao out.
