here comes the sun

Cordelia

It's the second time that she's made this trek in recent days. The second time she's gone to seek out Frey, but this time she's hoping to find the nature side of the herald. Taking a deep breath, the Attuned placed her offering of fruit before the shrine, drawing in a deep breath as she lowered her hood, closing her eyes for a moment. "Frey, the people of Halo have finished the task you've given to us. I've come to turn it in on their behalf." She spoke into the cold, opening her eyes as she waited for the familiar warmth of their presence to wash over her.

Frey

Like a sigh, Frey whirls into Cordelia's presence on a flurry of snowflakes. Gorgeously pale and wearing the ice as if it was made for them, they smile first at her and then up at the sky, where the cold sun burns. "Wonderful," they murmur. "Then let us bring Halo light!"

Clapping their hands together, the sound rings golden and pure, and far away upon the Citadel walls, the pillar and its glass seems to vibrate and shudder, as if waiting for further instructions.

Halo has completed its RQ and has received the following!

Solar Beam | If activated by a member of Halo's council (including appointed positions), the solar cannon can target 1 30ft sphere anywhere within the Citadel. Does 100pts of light/fire damage to anyone within the sphere. Requires a 5 post cooldown between uses, and a 1-post 'charge up' prior to use.

Cordelia

Cordelia feels relief wash over her, smiling at the sight of Frey, grateful to be dealing with this Frey and not the other. "Thank you, Frey." The Shrike barely gets the words out as the sun seems to brighten above them and a vibration rumbles through the earth. In Halo, there will be a moment, where the tower they spent ages crafting will rumble and shake as if threatening to collapse as it is infused with light.

It stands, however, waiting for them to instruct it on what to do next. They would finally have a way to protect their land aside from the soldiers within their walls.

~FIN~
