As she stared at the wooden boards below her feet, trying to catch her breath she forgot what was really going on around her. Everything seemed to become distant and time drifted off slowly. She was confused when a sound began pulling her, causing her to drag her head slowly up at Neru who howled and barked to get her attention. Then reality began to sink back in, she was exhausted but it was no time to pass out. Lifting herself up she scanned the horizon and realized she had been out of comission for sometime, the enemy had now pushed closer to the bell tower and the water appeared to be dominated by some massive creature wreaking havoc. The city was clearly beginning to lose control of the fight. Reaching into a small satchel which sat under her most outer robes she pulled out a small vial of thick green liquid. She placed the stopper to her mouth and bit down, yanking it out and allowing the green juice to seep into her mouth. Swallowing the bitter and sour goo, she coughed and began to feel her body wake up this would only wake her up and numb her pains temporarily. Taking in a deep breath she stood up and pointed at the large wall of guards attempting to hold back a force of enemy troops. She raised both hands to her chest and forced a small ball of lightning which exploded with a crack and flung towards the group expanding into a lightning bolt as it did so. One man was struck straight in the chest, exploding the metal helmet from his head and launching his body back. Two more cracks as more lightning bolts were fired from the ball she had formed and another two flung to the ground either unconscious or worse. Realizing they were under fire some men began to back up behind a building to take cover from the blasts. Instead Myra gripping the ball of energy she had been using as a channel to release the volley and threw it liken to a grenade into the blind spot behind the building. A massive crackle of electricity could be heard as bodies were flung in all directions, few stood back up smoldering to trot away only to be charged by the guards and finished off. [b]"Neru go sco-"[/b] then the world around her became a blinding mixture of white and red, before she knew it she was tumbling and the world spun around her. Then nothing. Blinking her eyes open, the potion still keeping her vitality up as she laid on the ground. Her head throbbed, causing Myra to place her hands on it trying to soothe the agony only to find something sticky covering her left hand. Upon investigation it was blood this realization made her look up at the tower which now smoldered, she must've been hit by someone she didn't see and was tossed from the tower. Standing up on shaky knees, three guards ran up and surrounded her shouting to one around, one placed her arm around his neck and she felt herself be lifted up without any struggle. She realized now that the enemy was close, ahead of her they were slaughtering anyone in armor and some citizens who tried to escape from the burning bell tower. Myra had failed in protecting this town's citizens as her vision began to blur something called out in her head [i]What are you doing lady, let me go.[/i] She smiled and nodded mumbling lightly [b]"Go on Neru.."[/b] The guard supporting her shot his eyes on her and shouted [b]"Huh? Hey? Are you alive what did you say?"[/b] his only answer was a howling which came from the small fox who appeared on top of the burning structure. A torrent of wind surrounded his body as yet another tail sprouted from him, the markings on his paws and face now extended and connected around his chest, localizing on his heart. The now massive fox, similar in size to a goat exploded with energy as the wind expelled from him snuffing out the burning building and sending every single person on the ground. As soon as it hit Myra however, her and the three guards appeared unaffected and instead she was now healed with the blood still soaking her hair and covering the slight smirk decorated on her face. Her feet tapped the ground as she placed her hand up, allowing the staff which had somehow survived the explosion to fly from a formerly unknown location and slam into her palm. As she began to walk forward, people sprung to their feet and ran behind her while the guards picked up what was left of themselves and formed a wall of shields to her left, in front of the bell tower. The enemy troops had stepped back a bit, grouping together as well with this new threat appearing. As Myra came to a stop she opened her mouth and spat [b]"Now who was the bastard that shot me with my back turned."[/b] The grey cloak she had come to town with was now nothing more than a smoldering tattered rag hanging loosely around her body with the hat still fixed on her head. It smiled and opened its mouth to speak for the first time as this girl walked closer to this group of men, its voice was deep and appeared to echo as it spoke [b]"You've all just unlocked Myra's highest level of power currently, we like to consider it her 'Released' state. Completely rejuvenated and refreshed for a fight, better hope you have someone with magic."[/b] the men shot glances across one another confused before a man stepped out covered with a long polar bear skin, the head affixed like a hood. [b]"I did miss, is there something you'd like to say to me?"[/b] He was clearly a powerful magic user, but he never fought someone of her ability before. [b]"Come on men, lets take your town back."[/b] She shoved her staff threateningly pointed at the group in front of her and the guards broke into a sprint, making a final charge. As they shouted and screamed to pump themselves up the sound could be heard from all over the city mainly a nearby squad of Omnia's actual military force who appeared on rooftops above, only twelve in number but a Battlemage was no one you wanted to face in battle. As the guards clashed with the much larger enemy, the battle mages from above leapt down onto them and entered the bloody frenzy. Blades made of pure energy slashed like paper through armor while fire spells ignited others. The guards did their best, over coming enemies in sheer force pushing towards the man with the polar bear skin who simply laughed as he backed away from the fight and began to run. Myra felt something inside her tighten as she realized, he was going to get reinforcements.
