moral of the story is, i will gut you if i need to
i will carve my way out
The darkness around them is choking and oppressive, heat and smog and tension that steals air from lungs faster than any detritus could. As her sharp, narrowed eyes skirt the new horizon, they catch Kiada moving closer, and Hotaru immediately does the same to take position at her niece's side. Moments later the earth itself seems to heave and tremble, shuddering beneath her feet, and though she does not ripple her stance widens and her hand draws her dagger free immediately. Better to be overly paranoid than dead.
Everything after that happens quickly. Amalia suddenly appears, and her brief concern over seeing the woman flat on the ground turns into relief when she immediately jumps to her feet. She is the jealous type, and still dislikes how important Amalia has become to Kiada, but right now all she cares about is the fact that the young woman is now effectively flanked by the two female warriors.
Loren trails behind them, and Hotaru remains silent, absorbing all that is said as her mind clicks and turns. "Other gods seems to be the usual answer in Caido, historically," she snarks slightly. Hotaru is neither on the side of the Ascended or the Old Gods, her sarcasm borne of the constant low-level frustration of being thrown into the affairs of Gods who can't figure their own shit out."My lightning is my most powerful weapon, I can electrify whatever water or metal you all may have." No point in concealing her abilities if putting it out there means potential attack coordinations. "But we should go see what exactly is causing that noise, or we lose our surprise advantage." Idleness only makes them sitting ducks. So saying, she gestures them forward. Danger awaits, but she would rather face it bravely instead of dithering.
Hotaru pulls out her dagger and suggest moving towards the screams, beginning to move forward.
