Ashir stepped forward, growling as Hestia took the slap, she was not able to take the Force spell though. "Hey! I was only trying to help you!" she growled with venom. Mage could barely hear anything around hear other then the steady breathing and heartbeat of her dear Saix. "I missed you so much..." she whispered.
Mage felt like time just stopped that moment, surprised, but happy. Her eyes watered, hugging her dear berserker as if he wold disappear any moment. "Thank Kingdom Hearts..." she hiccuped through her tears. She was happy. Hestia decided that she would walk forward towards the young woman, shaking her shoulder lightly. "Are you okay?"
Mage froze as Kadaj was ready to stab her through the chest, panicking. She only could hope Saix would find her in time. Hestia stopped, remembering when she looked exactly like that once... A long time ago, when she was alive and human. She stared, unsure if she should even move. Ashir stared as well, wondering what would happen once this woman was out of her daze.
Mage glared at Kadaj, attacking him with a Dias to purge his darkness. "Get away!" she harshly growled, the dias making her orange jumpsuit more bright. Hestia weakly got up, staring at the old woman. She wasn't sure whether to run or not, standing still. Ashir growled a bit, unhappy that Akira wouldn't let him advance.
Hestia jumped back, tripping and falling over. "Hey! I'm trying to help you Lady!" she winced in the pain of the spell. Ashir went into a fit of anger, running to help his mother as he charged towards the Sorceress.
Hestia jumped into the gap of the pillars, trying not to get fried as multiple elements hit her, trying to push the Sorceress away from her pain. She thought it better to take her place, as there would be no magic to produce from her.
Ashir peeped an eye open at Akira, his mouth unable to form words though his eyes clearly thanked her. Hestia took the most opportune moment when a pillar's guard was down to try and run past it She wanted to save this old woman, being drained of her life from these accursed pillars.
Ashir kept up his shield Parma instinctively, keeping himself as safe as possible. Hestia ran forward, trying to see if she could do anything, using the cold calculating stare of a hawk.
Ashir dodged again, but this time by charging forward. He would not allow these pillars to keep hurting this woman any longer! Hestia watched in horror as her son charged like an angry bull in an attempt to knock down the pillars. "Ashir! STOP!" she screamed, running closer to stop her son.
Ashir charged the Fira, Parma forming a shield to keep away the fire. His gaze drifted to the pillars, a grimace on his face. Hestia stayed back, holding onto Akira tightly and staying out of harm's way. She could not preform magic to protect herself.
Hestia stepped foward, her eyes glistening a bit of pity. "Come now, what's so sad?" her eyes were on the woman. Ashir's were on the pillars, Parma a cutlass for defense.
It's fine, it's fine. Just letting you know
Sorry to say, but I think you overlooked my post xD
Kate attacked Kadaj and Sephiroth with Nightmare, feeling a deep anger against these enemies even though she had no idea as to why. Maybe it was because she could feel a darkness so impure it would be horrible if Akira was even near the same world as it. Hestia walked foward, smiling lightly. Not of joy, no never, but of comfort. "Hello?" She called again. "Now what is so sad? I can help that."
Hestia stepped foward, her heart throbbing with the pain of that moan. "Hello?" she called out, wish to help in whatever way possible. Mage blinked in surprise, unsure whether to ask Merlin who THEY were, or go fight the silver haired men. She chose the latter, using magic to give her an aerial advantage. Her mind swam with questions though, wonderig who was going to find Merlin, why Tron silenced himself... Was it her? Akira? She seemed pained at that thought.
Dude I am bushed. One more post is all that's left in me(maybe) and then I'm going to enjoy a good long sleep @.@
Mage almost chuckled. "But you made this spell. You're here. So why don't we talk to each other again? Face to face? Please?" she pleaded a bit, sounding a little more desperate. What was going on? It seemed like everything was depressed with the air of death. She clung to hope, her delusions comforting her. Hestia shivered, Parma forming a cutlass for Ashir. "I may not be able to move as freely in the corridors as the others do, but I will protect you." She peered into the dark, swallowing as much fear as possible until the sheer amount made her almost choke.
Hestia kept Akira in a firm cradle, making sure she stayed very close in her emotional moment. Ashir watched, bitter that he could never be in his mothers arms. She was too weak to bear his weight. So all he could do was watch, his mouth shut down from his moment of madness in the test chamber. Merlin knocked on the door, politely. "Merlin? It's me, Mage. Do you remember?" She was trying to hold back the sound of what she used to be: the amnesia experiment that read books, learned magic, and couldn't process anything but water.
Mage looked horrified. "R-Really? Why? Please, let me go try to talk to them! Maybe I'll convince them to come out!" Her eyes had tears, her stomach turning over. Hestia followed the energy, welcoming it in and absorbing the slight stable ones. Ashir did the same, though unconsciously since it was part of his genetics.
Mage thought a moment. Merlin was a familiar face, Tron was a familiar face (those memories were so old she could barely recall their faces) so she decided on telling Cloud about them, leaving out detail as to what she was. Hestia nodded. It would be hard to walk with Akira in her arms and the Long Fall Boots that made her walk on the front parts of her feet, but she's managed as she was up and moving. "Ashir, let's go." she walked along the dark corridors, humming words if encouragement to Akira.
