[SWE] The Punchiest Pool Party

Zavien

I'm going to change the world,

Things are getting really out of hand. Zavien catches sight of Noe getting cured and the very confusing exchange of tackles around that particular crowd. He also hears (and feels) the buzz of Vox's outrage, the sensation running through him in the most unpleasant manner possible. However, the worst part isn't his voice or the strange flickering of his fuzzy form, it's what he does after. 

"NO!!" The word echoes through him, crushing against his chest as he watches Talyson disappear into the embrace of the purple abomination. He shudders, hand outstretched, helpless to save his friend. Useless. 

Despair coils around his lungs and Zavien backs away from the fight, putting himself closer to Lena. There would be time to mourn his friend later, but others are fleeing and vanishing in a mass exodus. He doesn't see Flora or Deimos anymore, but Sunjata is locked in a fight with Pierce, and he can't bring himself to abandon the man after he'd brought him back from the literal dead. Luckily, he seems to have help from the other demigods who appear intent on freeing him - and Zavien knows he doesn't stand a chance against Pierce himself. Raising his sword, he continues a slow retreat, praying to all the gods that they make it out without any more loss. He takes a moment to glance at Lena, gesturing with his head as he says, "We need to leave, now."

Zavien retreats and tells Lena to come with him.

but today I'll just be a mermaid.
