[PQ+] [SE] tearing open the sky

Hotaru

Open up the gates, I feel close enough to heaven
To go, to stay, to leave, to pray

Similarly satisfied with the destruction and devastation they’d so quickly wreaked, Hotaru grins back at Elizabeth, her previously ruffled feathers smoothed with the first satiation of bloodlust. Keeping her sling out as they venture onward is habit and an abundance of caution. It ends up becoming useful - as it often does - when the void echoes manifest a touch sooner than planned.

Intrigued, Hotaru nevertheless slips another sphere of ice into her sling from her endless bag. The ice itself might normally be familiar to the snowy entity, but the explosive nature of the spheres will hopefully do damage even if the element won’t. Launching it, Hotaru watches Elizabeth from the corner of her eye; all signs point to either an untrained Abandoned or Accepted, but until she discerns which, the Valkyrie can’t help support her offensively.

Ru launches another sphere!

But I guess they didn't like my confession
I know it's just a bad religion
