The voices of all too familiar figures of the past began to swirl in her mind. "It was for the good of the family." "Why did you leave us?" "Why would you forsake us, we needed you." "Our [i]dearest[/i] daughter." The normally composed Illuminaire shivered, tears began to well up. [color=3E7C8B]"Please leave me alone..."[/color] She would do anything to never return to that place again. An anguished look covered her face. [color=3E7C8B]"I do not need you anymore.."[/color] Her mind ran with imaginary laughter. "Of course you don't need us... We, however.. need you.. All you had to do is return home after your childish outburst. You are the reason for our suffering!" Fasha crouched down, held her head and mumbled words begging for forgiveness. [colour=red][b]"Listen up, everyone!"[/b][/colour] Her words cut through the turmoil like a clarion call. [colour=red]"Our priority is the safety of every individual here. First years and civilians, make your way to the shelters. Combat-trained individuals, form defensive groups around them. Auxiliary roles, establish checkpoints for Reconnaissance, Restoration, and Retreat. We leave no one behind."[/colour] Anastasia's voice rang true, as if a knight from a fairy tale saved the princess. The mental aberrations faded. [color=3E7C8B][i]I'm a damned Illuminaire now, no time for the past![/i][/color] A quick wiping away her tears and before long she stood up. She was quite proud of her combative prowess, yet... [color=3E7C8B][i]I doubt a couple punches and kicks will do much.[/i][/color] She could probably support Leah, however she had to make sure every student was safe before thinking of such a thing. She began to use her gift to calm the fearing students down yet she quickly took notice her reach only went so far. She could close in on everyone to escort them but that would take too long. If only she could reach further with her gift. Fasha then overheard another voice. [color=be7656]"Those with reconnaissance and Rescue abilities with me! We are going to make a sweep of the school for those who couldn't assist the ball!"[/color] She was not that interested in Myrion as a person of interest, yet he might be able to help them both gain a good reputation for being instrumental. She, along side some of the students who she managed to herd made their way over to the other Illuminaire who already gathered some students around him. [color=3E7C8B]"Hey, four-eyes."[/color] She called out smugly, bowing politely. [color=3E7C8B]"Need a herder?... Perhaps I could be of service."[/color] She smirked. His gift could be fun to experience.
