RONIN
THE FALLEN STAR
Ronin could do nothing but watch as his friends and his lover put their lives on the line and made their decisions and commitments. And while that filled him with guilt, it was a blessing in some cases, too. Because he saw it all (as best as possible through the smog, anyway) - he saw the way the plants belched out more putrid gas in response to the efforts of those with wings; he saw the yellow gas turn black as it guttered about the torch Deimos held; he saw the plants stiffen and wither against Ashetta's lightning.
"Hold," he called, raising a hand to Amalia and Remi, "when the plants move they make more poison, and the wingbeats are disturbing them." Not bothering to hurry behind Remi's earthen shield - it was better for him to keep his eyes on this - he glanced to the others.
"Get behind cover and throw the torches - all of them. Ashe, give it your all. Remi, are you able to get at the roots of the plants with your earth magic? Perhaps Deimos could life drain them at the same time...?"
Ronin advises Remi and Amalia to stop using their wings and suggests throwing the torches and diving under cover. He advises Ashe that her lightning is effective, and makes further suggestions about attacking the roots with earth magic and life drain.

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
