[i]The edge would slam into the woman's chin, forcing her back as a spurt of blackish blood would escape the new wound. The woman would groan, before she would then move forwards, purposefully closing the distance between the two.[/i]
English
-
Rose threw the shield then, the thing bouncing off a wall, then another, as she then threw a throwing star, which slammed into a wall next to the woman, and exploded in a gravity well, sucking the being with it. Rose flipped her spear to a rifle, firing off shots now.
-
[i]The being's hand would shoot out, grabbing onto the rim of the shield as more blackish blood escaped her, this time leaving her cut palm. She threw the thing into the vortex, seemingly unaffected by the spiraling void of gravity, as she then rushed into the bare cover of a separate alleyway as Rose began to fire yet.[/i] [i]Likely a trap, and one that Rose could either walk into or escape.[/i]
-
The field ended after a bit, as Rose pulled her shield back as if by magic. Rifle raised, she backed up now, not wanting to keep going. She was already having a break down, and fighting was a distraction, but she had enough bloodshed today. All she wanted was Niki.
-
[i]The shifting reality would change back, soon enough, as the tragic sounds of battle were heard throughout the scene. Rose could hear the Trayvens as they stormed the city, continuing the battle beyond the wall.[/i] [i]It was as if they had won. Reporting back to Freya, wherever she was, would be for the best. Isabella too, if she wanted to take that chance.[/i]
-
She had too, as she stalked back to the command post of the Trayvens, sheathing her gear for now, a distant look on her face.
-
"I think one's coming our way.. Nope. Just my sister's girlfriend, never met her on my own.." [i]Isabella would murmur to Amanda, as she waved Rose to come over.[/i] "Siege is basically over, we demolished them. I thought you and Niki were staying together, though?" [i]There was something in the tall woman's voice, though. An acknowledgement, as if she knew what she was going to hear from Rose's mouth, but wanted to deny it beyond everything.[/i]
-
Amanda stood by and watched, not her place to intervene and she knew it. Rose however, gave Isabella a hollow look, doing nothing but confirming what Bella already knew. The girl looked to be ready to cry at the moment, although she seemed too distant.
-
[i]Isabella stood there, silent for some time. Yet even with her now pale, emotionless expression, she stood still, like a looming tower on the verge of utmost destruction. Rose could hear the metal constructs of the woman's gauntlets practically tighten as Isabella clenched her fists, yet kept a deathly quiet demeanor yet.[/i] [i]She was pissеd off, to say the very least.[/i] "...Let's go. We should give her.. a proper burial." [i]Isabella then ripped up her standstill poleaxe from the earth, looking back at Rose as if awaiting her. She had thought that the girl had been killed, not taken by.. whatever that thing was.[/i]
-
Rose glanced up then, realizing the mistake. She spoke in a low tone then. "Isabella... She's not dead." Rose had to force herself to say the words, never imagining having to say anything like them.
-
"...Who took her." [i]Capturing was worse than death. Isabella knew that from the basics of war. And knowing what crazed individuals did with their victims..[/i] "Which one. Which one of those [i]fuсking bаstards[/i] so I know which one to eviscerate first? [i]Tell me, gods damnit![/i]" [i]She was practically roaring now, yet Isabella kept her post yet. She motioned for another senior officer to take control of the base camp's orders, now looking at Rose silently.[/i]
-
Rose was terrified of Isabella, taking a moment to find her voice now. However she did manage. "I-I don't know. I found a spectral woman, a mage I think, in an alley not too far from here. She said something about Niki being off on her own, I can't remember what she said exactly." It was the truth, Rose only remembered the hostility, and the woman saying not to worry.
-
"...It's.. a start. Okay.. okay." [i]Isabella nodded, as if thinking before she would then meet Rose's gaze.[/i] "...We'll fix this. We'll find her. This is something beyond the Tribune, something that they wouldn't initially go through so much trouble trying to do.."
-
"I know that, but I've never seen anything like this before." Rose avoided Isabella's gaze then, not wanting to face the woman.
-
"...You can face me." [i]Isabella spoke up, then sighing.[/i] "...It's not your fault. Whatever happened, we'll get it fixed. We'll find her." [i]She rested the poleaxe upon her shoulder, then, seemingly calming down.[/i] "Get some rest.. we'll continue in the morning. See if a few mages can help out.."
-
Rose nodded then, Isabella's gaze for a bit longer now as she turned to leave. The girl was miserable, and it showed in how she walked, as she went to her tent.
-
"...I broke, there." [i]Isabella murmured, to Amanda.[/i] "I guess we both did, me and Rose. I'm concerned for both of us, but.. Whatever took her. Niki. They'll use her against us if we've cornered them: cornered, desperate wolves are always the most dangerous, the ones that you have to watch."
-
Amanda nodded. "That's too true, and yeah, I noticed it. The girl seemed heartbroken, and I saw you snap as well."
-
"She'd die for Niki, I can see that much. I need to make sure that neither of them end up dead. I'll be up for a bit.. if anything, we're just clearing out the city at this rate. Freya will give a victory speech.. the usual."
-
Amanda nodded then. "I don't have much else to do aside from go over wounded."
