ROANA
Roana had planned to simply hide until LongNight was over, carefully plotting her next steps. The Voice needed to go down, and the only way was to take away her toys, her weapons, the Ascended. But as she sat upon the rafters, the lights dancing in the distance caught her bright blue gaze. They narrowed, a light gasp escaped her lips. Three small children, out during LongNight?
No.
She knew they were not her own, Phoebe would never let her boys still be out and about, but it didn't matter. A good mother did not stop being a mother just because the children were not hers. Roana knew they might be monsters, but she couldn't risk it. What if they weren't?
The former Captain jumped into action, leaping off the rafters to the ground and sprinting to the exit. No one would stop her as she sped past the unsuspecting people in the guildhall. She burst through the door, caring not for the danger to herself, and rushed towards the children.

I am lost to those I thought were friends
they pretend that they don't see
It's one miss step, one slip, before you know it
and there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
