She'd barely alighted on a girder before they rose, clambering upon one another in a rising tide of claws to snatch the last page of her own personal story. With a look of cold contempt she slashed and leapt, the fires of her heart burning brighter as she culled the tides crashing around her. A girl with her hands folded in prayer commanded a moment of her attention, first for the brazen display of her own defenselessness in the face of so many foes, and second for the boon she offered. Burning Heart smiled then, her heel alighting upon a vertical beam and launching her downwards to the ground amidst a thick knot of Pageless not yet crushed by the whalloping of a Monkey or the lasers of an Angel. [color=yellow]"I do promise to burn like the brightest star in the sky!"[/color] Suzuya consummated her oath pulling a heavy mace wrapped in bands of studded iron from her tail, smashing it to the ground to pulp the darkness into a murky paste. When oath met actions her flames tripled in their intensity, including the arrow wall still burning amidst the steel girders. A light to banish the dark, refusing to smothered even by weight of Pageless perishing atop them. Taking a second to admire the display brought her focus upon Lilac struggling, herself positioned as the seeming last direct line of defense between the bewitched people and their would-be-executioners. Her mace was left with nary a glance and she bounded back to the perimeter they'd built, finding the air delightful hot after a night of misty gloom, with Lilac being pushed to draw her sword in a vicious melee with the angel hovered above them. [color=yellow]"You fight well."[/color] Her greeting preceeded her arriving in a flurry of motion, drawing a fresh Naginata in a spinning slash that brought her to Lilac's side in a mess of Pageless ichor. The many tails of gold and fire brushed the other girl's back without harm, their softness almost ticklish before Suzuya moved to her side with a fierce, excited expression. [color=yellow]"But [i]we[/i] will fight better together."[/color]
