After becoming wounded and watching her new acquaintances fall to the same fate, Arya had stiffened. Her mind raced with memories she’d longed to forget. The pain in her side caused her vision to blur. As panic rose, so did her breathing. There was a puddle of blood around Menzai, and the sight of it caused her stomach to churn. Stella spoke to her but it was drowned out. The room spun around her and she covered her mouth. She watched as the assailants disappeared as quickly as they had come. The sight before her began shifting, and Arya moved out of view and fell to her knees. Her bow was clenched tightly in her hands.

[i][color=lightcoral]”Arya! No, please! Help me. Don’t go!”[/color] …The sound of banging on metal filled the room, drowning out the tiefling’s consciousness… [color=cyan]”Arya - you have the keys! Don’t let them scare you!”[/color]  …Pounding footsteps, metal clanging, a bow firing weekly, and then a scream ripping through the room, joined by cries of despair and grief… [color=LightCoral]”She’s dead! Her blood is on your hands, coward!”[/color] …Hideous laughter, mockery included, and a wail…. [color=cyan]”You deserve wrath!”[/color] [/i]

The pecking at her head should’ve broken through her skull. However, she’d become accustomed to it. Stella’s voice rang out, loud and clear: [color=lightskyblue]”Arrrryaaa listening to me?”[/color] The tiefling flinched and looked at her with blurry vision. [color=lightskyblue]”Your comrades have been talking to you. Did you hear them?”[/color] There was a brief pause and Arya looked down as guilt filled her. [color=lightskyblue]”Whatever you’re thinking about, is long gone in the past. Focus on the present, and make the future better.”[/color] 

Arya nodded and looked down at her hands. There was wetness on them. As her hand reached up to her eyes, she discovered tears. Stella reached her left wing out and dried them with her feathers. This coaxed a laugh out of her and it was filled with amusement and dread. [color=lightskyblue]”T-T-Thank.. Thank you.”[/color] 

As she stood up, a mysterious blue crystal appeared in front of her. Stella squawked and Arya began trying to back up, but the thing didn’t relent. Arya watched as it moved towards her and cemented itself into her wrist. She stiffened up with terror and forgot how to breathe. Did this happen to the others? What was going on? Arya clambered to her feet clumsily, and hustled back over to the bar. The sight before her was not what she’d expected. 

Bastion stood nearby and carried a battered and broken Phia in his arms. Wendel was gone, and a new woman stood there now with Menzai against her back. The snake woman had returned. The sight of blood caused her to tremble, but she looked away from it. Upon scrutinizing her acquaintances, she noticed they all had the same blue crystal on them. 

There was a pause, and then: [color=7998CE]”What the heck are these crystals and where is Wendel? What happened…?”[/color] Her gaze moved to Phia and she came over to her side. Stella peered down at her and gently climbed down her shoulder to stand closer to Phia. [color=7998CE]”...I don’t have any healing or medicine on me. Perhaps we can tourniquet her grave injuries until we find a healer?”[/color] 

She moved away, and glanced at Menzai and the new woman. [color=7998CE]”Do you have anything on you to help Phia?”[/color] She glanced around for a solution, and clenched her fists with fury. Why did this happen? Arya glanced around and addressed the room filled with others. [color=7998CE]”D…Do we have… Do we have a healer?”[/color] [/color]
