key quest
Well, damn.
In the chaos, in the storm, in the night, a spirit goes down. But there's more to it than that. First, a streak in the air - Riya, with fire in her throat and murder in her eyes. She aims, but the flames go wide, and worse than that; the spirit writhes in such a way that the draught created by its mere movements are enough to toss the dragon off track. She is thrown into one of the stone walls - injured, but alive.
And Anju's sword follows suit, narrowly missing the creature before clattering uselessly to the ground. It's the final irritation in this battle, at least.
Then there's Remi. The spirit has no chance of hitting him, already flailing and seriously wounded, and the Lullaby finishes the job.
Remi hits with both talons and a ghostly stinger; his claws slice through an ethereal throat, his manticore's venom jabs deep, and the work is done. Dispersing into screaming shadows and shrieking energies, it balloons up and into the Trinity Temple.
Which is precisely when Lena's help arrives. Not just any birds - these are a pair of ravens, and particularly intelligent ones at that. The corvids swoop and dive and croak at the energies, corralling them out through the open doors and into the rain. They perch, then, each on the back of a pew to flank those leaving. To check that their intentions align with Lena's.
And so it is done.Seraphina gets Gideon into a sitting position, the lights flicker back on one by one, and it's just you, the storm... and a sorely needed explanation for all of this.

Vial of Ascended Fluid | Does what it says on the tin. Highly flammable.

This thread is considered finished, but you may wish to address the following in any future threads to address the aftermath:
