The Death of the Dark Dragon

[20:50] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "Izurza... I want to request and honor duel with them."
[20:51] Walter Docro says, "Do what you want."
[20:51] Yoshiko nods. Approval..
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:51] There's a short sigh.
(Anastasia ven Astor)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:51] Walter Docro says, "A waste of thick hips."
[20:52] Anastasia ven Astor asks, "... What?"
[20:52] Walter Docro says, "Izurza is the most jarring person I've ever interacted with."
[20:52] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "I'm not even surprised you said that."
[20:52] Walter Docro says, "Put a little extra on your right hook if you duel them, for me."
[20:52] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "Perhaps..."
[20:52] Anastasia ven Astor says, "You'll win, of course."
[20:52] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "I already won years ago."
[20:52] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "Easily.."
[20:52] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "But they are a wanted person I've been searching for since that year."
[20:53] Walter Docro says, "Who knows. Maybe her strength is proportional to her bust size. In that case, she's only gotten stronger. Perhaps, subsequently, that much is inversely proportional to intellect."
[20:54] Walter Docro says, "Because that is /one/ dumb bitch."
[20:54] She rubbed at her cheek idly, falling to a thoughtful silence.
(Anastasia ven Astor)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:54] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "Then I should have no problem."
[20:55] Walter Docro says, "Good luck with them."
[20:55] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "Not truly necessary. One who falls to darkness has karma constantly following them.."
[20:55] Anastasia ven Astor says, "Mmm....."
[20:56] Yoshiko snaps her fingers and applies some cream to the Astor's cheeks.
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:56] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "I might get intervened but I can go through them, too."
[20:56] Walter Docro says, "I didn't know falling to darkness came in the same package as not being able to utilize first person in pronominality."
[20:57] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "Well, a tumor is imminent if not handled properly.."
[20:57] Walter Docro says, "Tcha-hah."
[20:57] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "So is the loss of many brain cells. It attacks the brain entirely..."
[20:58] Yoshiko said this without remorse or hesitation.
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:58] Anastasia ven Astor says, "...."
[20:58] She groaned, only a bit, but said nothing in response to Yoshiko's prompt treatment of her.

"You'll be fine, I'm sure." She said with a small shrug.
(Anastasia ven Astor)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:58] Yoshiko Taiyang whispers to Anastasia ven Astor: I'm taking them to Alabastre when I am done with them..
[20:59] There was a knowing nod offered to her.
(Anastasia ven Astor)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:59] Stavros says, "Mhm. Moves for some coin 'n' stuff.-- Eh, fuck it, why not. Lemme go 'n' fill up tha shop first."
[21:00] Bolt says, "I'll wait for ya here then."
[21:04] Yoshiko arrives towards the marketplace and heads in the immediate direction of Izurza specifically. She doesn't waste any time to tell them what she had spoken about with Walter.

"Izurza.. I've been searching for you for years… I'm sure you know why but you're finally here in front of me. I won't outright try to apprehend you..

… But Imperator Walter allowed to me to engage in an Honor Duel with you," she states.

She crosses her arms before awaiting for the drakanite's answer.
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:05] Luxa Vandran says, "Yeah right."
[21:05] Luxa Vandran says, "You better step away."
[21:05] Luxa growls
(Luxa Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:08] Azaray says, "An Honor duel?.."
[21:21] The woman looks to her side after speaking with Luxa for a bit. She was getting ready to head back home and attend to Luxa's wounds but now that has changed. An Honor Duel? How strange, she heard about these a long time ago, but due to the memory loss, she was clueless.

"Another human whom I've angered in my past life?"

"When will this ever end..."

She sighed.

"A duel? What is an Honor Duel?"

She had no problems for filling the wish of others, especially when it was to justify the wrong doing that she might've caused.

A black fog begins to ooze out of the woman's clothes. An old cackling voice whispers out from the echoes of the darkness that lied within the fog.

"If you truly wish for a Duel, I won't decline it. Though I ask, what sin did I commit against yourself? I have no memory of the past, so enlighten me."
(Izurza Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:21] Olivia Docro says, "Wheeeere is he."
[21:21] Yoshiko Taiyang says, "Home."
[21:21] Olivia Docro says, "WE HAVE LOTS OF THOSE."
[21:29] Luxa Vandran says, "\/ping"
[21:31] "Kitsune..."

Yoshiko wasn't aware that they were stripped of their memory but it wouldn't matter much once Yoshiko has explained the sins they have committed and the sins they will repent for here today.

".. I'm sure you would like to know when it will end. If had not followed the path you are currently residing on, then perhaps... you'd be a better person today."

A glance was given to Luxa who did not want any of what Yoshiko was saying. But their friend did otherwise accepting any dueling that Yoshiko might be consisting of. For now, she'd explain why she was doing this.

"You slain Cassius Gracia in battle when he was still young without remorse. I'm sure you remember the time in the woods when you tried to feed on me and Amalia which you were defeated with ease.

So be enlightened... Your actions caused great distress inthose around you to the point some don't want to hold their own stress for sheltering you."

A slight glow in her form grew to counteract the fog that emerged from Izurza. "Since you accept.. Do you have any wishes if you win?"
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:39] Listening in on the two it seemed there was bad blood between the two. He'd glance around for his father for a moment before leaning in and listening to the conflict.. He didn't exactly know either of them all too well so he wouldn't get involved..

Not that he could do anything even if he tried. "An honor duel.." He'd repeat to himself once again as a small smirk perked on his lips.
(Azaray)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:47] A slight sigh of stress as it releases from her body, muscles slowly untensing. Her eyes slowly looks around her to the humans and other species that seemed to be watching. Killed Cassius Gracia? How ironic, although she might have captured the man in war, she was not the one that killed him. Though she has no memory of those times, nor does she care to remember. Even though it was Violet that ended the man's life, Izurza wasn't big on bringing harm to allies, so she often accepted the aggression of others and handled it.

"Can't say that I remember, nor can I deny these accusations so yes I accept."

"As for my wishes? It matters not, nothing you have, is something that I desire. So need not to worry about that, however, I do not care for the specifics."

She rather get this over with honestly, should she live or die here, rested in the hands of Lady Fate. However, this time won'tbe as easy as before, with more power and fast movements, surely she'd hinder this woman.

The black fog begins to cackle some more, as it slithers around the both of them. It was covering the area in a giant circle. The battle was going to occur here it seems, so she was going to get things started. Of course the spectators couldn't come into the battle as they had to cross the thick fog of darkness.

However, Yoshiko couldn't see anything past the darkness. Everything was covered and hidden for her, all that remained was the voices of whispers. The sound of people screaming and crying out for help, victims of the past that tormented Izurza, day to day.

This was her own punishment, the punishment of murdering others and hearing their voices for the rest of her life. Her own punishment for the sins that she has committed, a sin she could never wipe away, only in death.

"Don't expect mercy,you'll get none from me."
(Izurza Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:00] Yoshiko had her reasons. Her purpose in life thanks to who she worshipped was to remove all that was evil and eradicate any darkness that threatens or has threatened his land. That was the whole point she held the light within her. To shine and burn away the shadows.

"Then onto my wishes... I will cleanse you. You will be freed from your darkened shackles. But.. that does not mean I will..." She closes her mouth for a moment. She pulled back her words as it was debatable if she would do so or not but she kept it to herself for now.

"I will not expect mercy from someone who shows none.. But I will do my best to provide you with a temporary moment of mercy.."

She finishes speaking and soon the light around her would glow even stronger. It was akin to the sun itself and she shined heavily. She snapped her fingers and the tome bonded to her soul would float in front of radiating with light from the stone within it's core.

"Prepare yourself.."
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:03] Artemis Task says, "...Odd."
[22:03] Artemis Task says, "I suppose birds to make all manner of noises, however."
[22:13] Their playstyle. Fairly different from how she had fought her the last time. But it mattered not, the kitsune was doing just fine against the drakanite. She was just getting use to them. Which was beginning to happen quickly.

Snap!

Her digits collided and their vision was stripped from them. Yoshiko noticed that it baited out their shadowy form. This made it easy for Yoshiko to blend in and then just dive towards them.

"Jiuweihu wants you to be cleansed.. It isn't not a morbid thing to be cleansed....

You will be free..."

Voices rang through the battlefield into Izurza's ears. Illusionary vocals that never seemed to stop. They were pleading Izurza. Asking, Demanding, Wishing for them to just bestow their life to the light and finally wash away.

This was their chance and Yoshiko would give it to them...
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:26] The fight was a hard one, she had no idea that this person was this strong. Even if she doesn't remember the portion in which she encountered Yoshiko, she was lucky to had made it out of their grasp. Izurza had a feeling if she allowed herself to fall, that she would lose the power that she worked all her life to obtain.

"Vexing power..."

She couldn't allow for this to happen, but it wasn't her decision.
(Izurza Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:31] {Won Dangerous RPB against Izurza Vandran}
[22:31] * You have been awarded 1 Roleplay Points! *
[22:31] ** Yoshiko Taiyang has inflicted an injury upon Izurza Vandran. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "Duration: Medium (4 days)") **
[22:31] Irkalla exclaims, "!?!?!?!?!"
[22:31] Irkalla Tsked heavily at the loss... This wasn't what it thought would happen...
(Irkalla)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:32] Angel says, "..."
[22:32] Voráz squinted, but chose not to act out on impulse. Yet.
(Voráz)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:48] Oh no. Mother. Luxa ran over to the area as fast as he could when he saw her lying on the ground. Hatred began to build up in his heart.

"Who..did...this...?" Luxa said in between breathes of pure anger.
(Luxa Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:49] Voráz says, "..."
[22:51] Yoshiko might've be slightly outplayed beforehand but she fought harder, quicker, vigorously. If she messed up in any single moment, she could possibly lose her life here today. But she held the power of the sun in her. The light that she held illuminated across the fields and outshined the moon that watched over this battle this evening.

And with all that light, Yoshiko burned hot.

There was no need to hand hold the tome within her grasp. The thread gave it the ability to float with her will. Letting her occupy her hands with snaps to release spells and attacks with each at the bull-rushing Drakanite.

There were illusions to distort Izurza's movements. The way she sapped Yoshiko's mana and life force, it was shaved by the metaphysical power that Yoshiko held. Izurza's ankles would glow with Jiuweihu's light. Like hands wrapping around her feet and causing her to struggle to move. Yoshiko would easily take the time to literally zoom around her as this persisted.

However, that was not all that Yoshiko had to her arsenal. She had plenty to give and plenty to gift the drakanite with. And so she was given. To experience and have an example of an Illuminated Kitsune. One favored by the Sun. One holding a piece of the sun within her spirit.

And with her spirit, a ball of combustive flames would break through the dragon's shield and pushing her back. Disabled and stagnant.

Yoshiko, silent, would step to her defeated form.

"... You know what happens now, don't you? I forgive you for your actions and sins. But the only way you can repent and wash away all the darkness is by leaving this land. I mentioned before that my goal was to eradicate all that was dark and evil. You will... be the first.

I wish you a safe travel to a safer location..."

Yoshiko steps up to Izurza but she stops for a moment. ".. Before you are cleansed. Do you wish for any last words that you may to want to relay?" she questions. She awaits and then would come the ritual of cleanse.

Sadly, it would be the end for her but it would begin a new for her reincarnation. Her tome reached around Yoshiko and lowered to the drakanite. It would soon begin sapping away the darkness within her form within the flaming thread that was near her chest. The darkness being the lifeforce that she held, it would soon cause her to black out.

Permanently.
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:52] Luxa Vandran says, "I will kill you...someday...."
[22:54] fuck you jaeger
(Tyranny)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:54] no
(Jaeger)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:56] Yin watches the duel play out and seeing who the victor clearly was she glares intensely at the demon who was glaring at their mother on the ground at Yoshiko's mercy. She didn't quite like how the demon spoke under its breathe anger following...

"It was an honor duel between the Kitsune and the Drakanite.. however step out of line and I'll have to stop you... She accepted knowing the consequences..."

Should she draw Starburn today, it wouldn't be a pretty sight.

(Ynydis Queen)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:56] Voraz gave a breath. He takes a step forward, drawing closer to Izurza. He doesn't desire to do much, although, a final paw is directed to the Drakanite's face. It stutters momentarily, but will eventually clutch at her eyes, and seal them.

"Rest easy, Izurza."

Despite being a Demon, Voraz knew well to not intrude with an honorable battle. Had it been a few years prior, then perhaps the circumstances may have been different. Regardless, it will be quite a loss to lose Izurza.

"Rest easy."

As he trailed backwards, celeste hues locked with Yoshiko, but did not say much. Luxa wished to pursue a goal, one that he'd leave onto the wolf.
(Voráz)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:57] Luxa was waiting for the ball to drop
(Luxa Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:00] Watching his father pay his respects to the woman he'd shake his head with disappointment.. He had hopes that maybe his father was wrong, that she was stronger than he said. But, she wasn't.. Not even close.

The weak weren't fit for this world it seemed.
(Azaray)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:01] Gemini watches from afar.

It's an interesting sight to see; the purging of another. All while those who dabbled within hellish Magics stood by, and respected the predetermined rules set out before them.

Surely, one of them would try to stop it. Right? One of them must not care for the rules-- Only caring to bring about the future that they wish to see instead of being a simple bystander.

But that's what he was, in the end. Someone just watching. Laughing. And enjoying the show alongside those who also Watched from above.
(Gemini)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:01] In truth, Tyranny had been watching the whole time. The honor duel, the battle- every part of it. But this would not be his time to intervene, no.

Rather, he would simply cast a final glance towards Izurza, who's consciousness would fade. A few mental words are spoken, and he looks to Yoshiko.

"Hmm. How poor of an ending. But, that seems to be that."

"You're not going to be using that corpse, are you?"

A smug grin from the King of Demons.
(Tyranny)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:06] He had saved her life once more, if she was in this situation again then fate must be calling. Jaeger wouldn't stop in, she had served her purpose in his life and it didn't seem like he'd even make it in time before the occult within her body was smothered in light.

But why would Blaidd have interest in the body?

Maybe Jaeger could use it himself.

The panther walked forward, approaching the soon-to be corpse and looking down at it. Unlike the Archon he didn't plan on asking, there was no reason to.

Once she had been killed he'd simply try and take the body himself, perhaps out of spite since he didn't particularly like Blaidd, or respect his authority in general. Or perhaps Jaeger truly wished to use this body for ulterior motives.
(Jaeger)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:27] The woman felt immense magic affecting her movements, it was hard to fight back but she did her best. For a woman whose won countless battles, entered war against the cities twice and completely dominated the battle field, over and over, it was an accomplishment. One that would carry on with her in the next life.

However, she was surprisingly calm in this situation, it was something that she knew one day would come. Today was that day, today was thee day that she would say her final goodbyes, and yet she heard the voice of Tyranny in her head. How disappointing, for a king of the demons to claim that she was more useful in death. To think such a pathetic demon would lead the rest, the rumors she heard of his changes were true.

Although she left it at that, nothing more and nothing less, she would direct her attention to others more fitting of her final words, he was not it. Her gaze might have been closed for the time being, she still spoke in the presence of others.

"This is it..isn't it? My punishment for the sins I have done?"

"All those that I hurt...and killed to obtain this power? It is being taken from me now...efforts dying in vain.."

Her words are now speaking to Luxa, her adopted demon son.

"Continue to grow, accomplish what I could not, and obtain true strength."

The black fog that surrounded them slowly begins to fade away and wither into nothing. It slowly slithers it's way back to Izurza and covers her body as it seemed sad to see her go. The battles they won together could fill walls, the mana that have absorbed and collected over the years was now releasing into the air.

Small blue orbs of mana filled with the voices of those that they belonged to, Cassius Gracia. As his mana slowly floats away into the sky, words were spoke; 'Thank you Izurza, for not handing me over to the witches. For allowing Violet to take my life, I would rather sleep at the bottom of my lake for eternity.'

Another orb of mana was released, this time with was Roland Pelluax. Although he might not have died like Cassius, his mana was still drained and owned by her. 'You're strong, one day I will escape from these shackles.'

Another belonging to a human, Luthor, 'Release me from this world if you must, but one day you will get yours foul creature.'

How strange, these were the last words her murdered and/or drained victims spoke to her. Though there was many more, but that of the living who escaped her clutches.

Alas.. her ending was coming, the final chapter to her story was being put to rest. She had no regrets in her life, with her memories erased- no scratch that..even if she still had them, she felt no regret. She hasonly killed those who seeks her life, but in the end of all of this...-

Yoshiko had finally gotten their answer, the truth that it was not Izurza who killed her precious Cassius, but someone else.

There was nothing else left to say, nothing else left to do. Her collected mana was now gone, released into the afterlife, probably granting them peace after all this time. During her final hour, a runic circle was glowing on her back. It emanated a bright bluish color, a final curse that was placed on her many years ago. In this curse, granted her mental state, the feeling of no pain. It was a small gift granted to her in her travels across the continent. With this final act...it was time to accept her fate.
(Izurza Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:34] Before the woman was put to rest, she did in fact one last request. With her last request, it needed to be something worth while, something that would benefit her son for the years to come, this was that request....

"Allow my son to obtain my belongings..I ask this of you as my final request."

Of course, this was spoken to Yoshiko, the decider of her fate.
(Izurza Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:34] Tyranny says, "..."
[23:34] Tyranny asks, "..?"
[23:39] Voráz says, "..."
[23:39] Voráz said nothing else, and waited for Azaray to trail behind him.
(Voráz)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:39] Voráz says, "So be it."
[23:41] Carlisle ras Petrakis asks, "..Ana?"
[23:41] Carlisle ras Petrakis asks, "Anastasia...?"
[23:41] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "Hmm."
[23:41] Tyranny asks, "Hmm?"
[23:41] Did demons cry? He wasn't sure but he was. Luxa wasn't sure what to make of what was happening here. All he knew was that he was about to lose the only person who ever cared for him. And he was too late to do anything about it.

He watched, stunned, as the mana orbs rose from Mother's body. Each one symbolizing her victims. She was cruel yes. But not to Luxa.

The mana orbs echoed with the voices of the lost magics. But Luxa could not listen. Instead he began slowly walking towards Izurza, lost in his own pain and thought. The surrounding people had disappeared to them. The world no longer existed. It was only him and Mother.

He reached into her mind with his own.

""

He stopped just short of the ritual. This was really happening. He was about to be alone in this world. Accompanied by nothing but a burning hatred for the one who did this to Mother. To all for standing by and watching it happen.

" Luxa whispered into her mind before bowing his head in grief all the while keeping his blood red on eyes on Mother.
(Luxa Vandran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:41] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "I know of her. As for her whereabouts...I'm uncertain? I think I might've seen her in Osrona while passing but.."
[23:41] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "It didn't seem as if she were in any immediate danger."
[23:42] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "I could be a fool...I'm not sure why she'd be there, if she was anyway."
[23:42] Gemini says, "Sounds fun."
[23:42] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "She is not my prisoner to trade."
[23:42] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "That is a conversation you might have to have with Misha."
[23:42] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "Or...Walter."
[23:43] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "Or Tanya."
[23:43] Tyranny says, "How interesting, for Osrona to have Anastasia. "
[23:43] Carlisle shrugs. She doesn't have too much of an opinion on her.
(Carlisle ras Petrakis)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:43] Anira wriggles her ears at the name but otherwise doesn't interrupt, she had no idea what was going on! Having just stumbled upon death, and a fight.
(Anira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:45] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "...Be more specific, pleas."
[23:51] "..."

There seems to be a point in time when playing dumb might be the more appealing option. But at this particular moment. . .Why would she not make Yuri's life worse in the 'event' that he would try to return to his friends. She hates him still. As much as one might disbelieve it...The young woman had an impossible ire for those that are incapable of making the most simple, logical decisions. And Yuri just so happened to be one of those people that would fail...And repeatedly try to make excuses to cover up, only to make it worse.

She sighs.

"Are you really going to ask me the obvious?" she questions in response. There seemed to be a cold chill - her features turning into that of a sneer. "This 'boy' has betrayed Nysea and broken his oath over five times because he could not have what you have. Do you really think it to be untrue that he would run back to Jianyu?" she questions with a tilt of her head.

"I think...The more foolish thing is that she accepted him. Honestly, I'm starting to believe that people possess little tact and merely go for what makes them happy...Even if that thing ruins them." She seems to be going off in a tangent, clearly displease. But alas, she gets back on track. Long story short..

"Yes. He did it. And he'll keep doing it too, so long as he desires to have someone who cares for him."
(Carlisle ras Petrakis)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:52] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "It makes me sick."
[23:52] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "...We should've been past this a thirteen."
[23:52] Blackjack would take a knee before Gemini, it seems he has picked up quick the depraved essence...for someone who can't control it.
(Blackjack)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:52] Blackjack says, "It does me much pleasure to see you again."
[23:53] Gemini offers the faintest of nods.

"Hello. Hello. Hello. Are you doing well for yourself?" He'd ask, a hand moving, waving for the boy to stand.

"Stand, you're fine."
(Gemini)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:53] Blackjack says, "Oh-uh."
[23:55] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "...Before you go."
[23:56] Carlisle scoffs at Avlainn. She -whips- around and glances to Blackjack.
(Carlisle ras Petrakis)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:56] Carlisle ras Petrakis says, "Nevermind."
[23:56] Yoshiko watches as Izurza gives her final words. At least she wasn't being rash with them. They were accepting. This is mostly why Yoshiko purged and created and painful passing for them because she believed that even the most evil could be understood with reason.

But for now, her words were heard and her wishes would be met! Yoshiko went up to her body and reach for one thing that could be used as proof of this situation. There were plenty of demons watching her as she did this but Yoshiko held no fear for them.

Blue hues glance at the orbs but did not follow them. The kitsune's ears, did however twitch at their speech. This brought great news to the fox and she would use it kindly.

"Of course.. If that is your last wish then so be it. Your son may own your belongings... But there is one that I will sadly have to take as procedure but everything else... Is theirs."

Yoshiko looked at them as their life was soon beginning end. "Your helmet..." It was removed gently. Their hair fluttered from the interior and draped over their form.

Afterwards, Yoshiko turned towards the demons fiending after the body. "Do what you wish, but let whoever is her son to take all that they own. Anything else is no longer my business. I have fulfilled a goal for now..." she voices, letting her form blend in with the surroundings. The glow she held dimming ever so slowly as she made her way to Osrona.
(Yoshiko Taiyang)
