She didn't speak of it often, but when one of her lies was rejected, she felt almost compelled to distort reality and make it truth - it was nearly involuntary. Runa barely registered the ground shaking as Lance conquered his foe. She hardly blinked as Marygold dispelled her brother's fiery tornado. She didn't even turn her head to see the other rampaging monsters terrorizing the others. [color=#a81a75]"A lie for a lie,"[/color] Runa whispered, Gandr glowing with dark energy, as she snapped her fingers, expecting to feel a wave of release, for reality to rewrite itself to her will. It was always an exhilarating, intoxicating feeling... But it never came. Her innate magic did not work. Her staff had ceased glowing. A wave of hopelessness crashed against her - she was the Goddess of Lies, this was the one thing she was supposed to be good at, the very reason why those in Asgard had shamed and ridiculed her for all of those years. But nothing happened - her powers weren't as strong as they should have been. Runa didn't know if that was because of Forseti's stone or if there was something deeper that was wrong with her... [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=cc33ff]Guin Stark[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.imgur.com/R0DGpSD.png?1[/img][hr][b][color=cc33ff]Location:[/color][/b] Nearing Baldur's Hall [b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy, Agility [hr][hr][/center] [color=cc33ff]"Was something supposed to happen there?"[/color] Guin remarked, a little surprised that Runa's powers had more or less fizzled out. But they didn't have time for snarky remarks, especially with the monsters going on around. Guin nodded when Mary suggested that she search Forseti's mind for the location of the stone and Guin took a breath, diving into the Asgardian's head again. [i][color=cc33ff]"It's on a chain by his side,"[/color][/i] Guin informed her fellow X-Men. The tornado was gone and she didn't want to waste a second, so Guin quickly darted at Forseti, attempting to snatch the stone. Forseti batted her away like a bug, sending Guin flying (and the stone came free of the chain, flying into the grass somewhere). Guin hit the ground hard. [color=cc33ff][i]"The stone isn't on him anymore!"[/i][/color] she then told the others, even though she had no idea where it was anymore. It was small and the grass in this meadow of sorts was a little tall. Guin forced herself back onto her feet, just in time to watch as Runa threw a small object down at the ground by Forseti's feet. Suddenly, a yew tree began sprouting out of nowhere, trapping Forseti's legs inside. [color=cc33ff]"Yikes, hope he's got health insurance,"[/color] Guin said, wincing slightly. Runa then conjured a pair of handcuffs, connected by a chain - nothing incredibly fancy - as she walked up to her brother. [color=#a81a75]"Will I need to put these on you?"[/color] Runa asked Forseti.
