i could be the reason you can't sleep at night
With Frey responding to her plea and daggers in her fingers, Flora feels as powerful as she ever has. She and Enzo are going to do this in a way that will make their parents proud and will confirm to the world that the Kaliesin twins are not just their last name. So it is that Flora watches her twin valiantly stride towards the water, powerful and poised, only...
..it doesn't happen at all the way you think it would. There are no screams, no infinitely long moments where you can't help but know in your bones what's going to happen. No, there is only Enzo, brave and handsome and terribly young, silhouetted against a red sky; and then he is gone. The rock that falls on him hardly even slows as it crushes his body beneath it. It's anticlimactic. It's silent. It's swift and unfair, and if Flora just looks away, surely it won't be real.
'..no.' Flora mewls disbelieving as she waits....waits for...for Remi to appear with her twin in his arms and reassuring words on his lips...waits for Frey to come back...waits for Hotaru to appear, or...gods, anything that makes her brother live again. None of those things occur of course, because Flora has decided to be here, away from the safety of the Haven, away from her mother and father.
And now Enzo is dead.
No. No he can't be.
Quite how Flora manages to get to Enzo's side is unclear. Her mind is bubble-wrapped in shock. All she knows is that she has her compass in one hand and Enzo's in the other. "Mom will fix it. Mom will know what to do." She sobs.
Flora runs to Enzo and uses her compass to take them to Halo!
If Flora gets a non-lethal hit on her way out, she'll use: Torchline: Torchline has taught you to survive her weather and her terrain. Once per PQ/PQ+/KQ/Drop, you can 'shrug off' half the damage from ONE non-lethal attack. (In order to use this ability, you must put a clear note in the bottom of your post immediately following the attack you want to 'shrug off').
