[color=LightSkyBlue]“Oh my!”[/color] she exclaimed, more fascinated than frightened. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Are you actually a zombie?”[/color] she inquired as she studied what little of the creature’s corpse-like features she could perceive. Unfortunately for the overly inquisitive maiden, her companions were far less interested in the idea of a possible Q&A session with what was obviously a being of pure hate and malice. Not wasting any time, the impetuous Lady of the Lake conjured a massive spear out of the surrounding rain water and drove it into the heart of the captive Pageless. Olivia was slightly taken aback by the suddenness of the attack, but that was nothing compared to her shock at what happened next… With a surprised gasp, Olivia’s grip on Xolys tightened as a mighty gust of wind tore through the group, blowing her azure gown and golden tresses behind her. However, this was not the work of the still-contained Pageless, but rather one of their own number. They could all feel it, a swirling vortex of arcane power, centered on Captain Goodhope. Being closest to her, Olivia was able to hear the maritime maiden, who had until now remained silent, her eyes closed in prayer, give voice to a soft whisper. An instant later, the girl’s Grimoire manifested in midair before her, its gilded cover shining like the beacon of a lighthouse. Taking hold of it, Wilhelmina employed the tome’s noticeably heightened powers to conjure what was essentially a miniature hurricane, which, combined with Nessie’s aqua spear, rapidly tore the captive Pageless to shreds. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Goodness me!”[/color] Olivia exclaimed. [color=LightSkyBlue]“That was amazing Helmi!”[/color] she told her friend excitedly. [color=LightSkyBlue]“And so very intense!”[/color] Lumiere proceeded to commend the team on their performance, after which Olivia gave the angelic girl a brilliant smile. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Thank you very much!”[/color] she told her team leader. [color=LightSkyBlue]“And I don’t think I’ll [i]ever[/i] forget that,”[/color] she added, gazing up at her eldritch consort. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Not with darling Xolys at my side!”[/color] At Lumiere’s suggestion that they check up on Camelot’s team, the otherworldly beast in question pivoted to fly after the silver-haired seraph, paying careful attention to ensure that his two passengers were safely secured. [color=LightSkyBlue]“I wonder if [i]they[/i] encountered a Pageless as well…”[/color] Olivia mused aloud. If so, she was very curious to learn what [i]it[/i] looked like, although whatever it was, she had no doubt that it wouldn’t pose any threat to a team led by so strong and experienced a Magical Girl as Camelot.
