Crash, Crash, Drown [Open]

[Aqua]

She could feel it, the pulse of the Other World. Her teeth bare against its will to overwhelm her, with her powers restricted as they have been she can't just ignore it, shove it to the side. And with out the throbbing of the sea in her ear she can't just forget its existence. Placing one foot back and summoning her bow to her side, she waits for it, the world to twist and change to become like her birthplace.

But she won't take it defenseless, she knows better than that from all the times higher up demons got past her. She may be her weakest in this form, but she doesn't need claws to rip and tear her way through. All she needs is concentration, which she has ample amounts of. Very few things could brake it right now, although she highly doubts any of them will happen, she's been avoiding the scent of Aqua and those of the natural humans - those that do not smell as she does.

She can feels the power building up in her and beyond her. The first tear will happen in 5.... 4..... 3..... 2..... NOW! Her body is enveloped in what Otherborns seem to be calling crossings, "Seems like some terminology has lasted the centuries." When she sees the twisted "whites" of her brothern she releases her arrow upon them, a satisfying boom rocks her, she notes with happiness that she only hit demons this time... Well a couple of buildings rocked she's sure, but they'll stay standing. Dissipating her bow she calls forth her sword with a snarl and begins to rip through the demons, about three-fourths of them left, but only she will know that...

Hopefully she won't be alone in this fight, she doesn't like doing all the dirty work after all...

"Ungh.." I was getting that sick feeling again. The last time I got that feeling... Oh no. Kiara-chan called these things "Crossings." I grab my stomach as I could feel it release into a full Crossing. It always felt sickening up to that point. Otherwise, it felt fine after. "Oh no.. I have to fight now..." I don't like fighting. But I want to protect people. And these demons would attack them.

But I guess I wasn't alone. A woman was already attacking them. So.. I wouldn't have to fight as much... I run over to her and take a stance, ready to attack. Of course, she was swinging a blade around. I didn't get too close. "Hi, ma'am! I'm going to help you, okay?" And before the response, I extend my arms and raise them high, twisting them, and throwing them back down. In response, thick green vines rose from the ground around several demons, coiling them to where they can't move, and bringing them back to the ground, completely subdued. "Keep going, ma'am, and I will, too!"

[Aqua]

Someone else has joined her in her fight. She doesn't give him a moment's glance, his scent is Otherborn, she won't attack him by accident. But she does nod in his general direction as she throws back a demon dog with the blunt side of her blade.

Screams echo in her head, she glances and smirks. A downed demon is a dead demon in her book, she pays them no more attention. Moving forward in search of that which caused the crossing, she can't feel a spell so it must be a larger demon, her teeth bare in challenge, her "hunting" grounds "first" after all.

She does call back to the other, noting their voice is masculine for future references, odd that she had encountered only males thus far, but she'll take any help she can receive, "Ay! We shall smite these underlings!" She laughs as she doesn't have to struggle with her words, a little out of date, but easily enough understood, but better than the tongue of a demon. "Give it your all comrade!" But do be careful, She adds silently in her thoughts, not wishing to push the other too far nor be the cause of any more... deaths...

She slices gracefully through a demon, only wincing a little as it hollows out at her, its words doing little to sting her pride. The pulsing of the crossing battling with the thrumming of the sea within her, a furious growl leaves her as she cuts deep into another demon, leaving it wounded and struggling forward!

The woman moved wonderfully, like water itself. "Right! I will, ma'am!" I call out, creating a whip of green from the ground. "Take this!" I yell at a demon, wrapping him in the whip, and spinning him out, into a wall. From the wall, he was contained in vines.

"Next!" I yell again, repeating with two demons. One gets me from behind, clawing from my waist around up my back to the left shoulder blade. "Ow! Damn!" I scream, vines flying up from in front of the demon, wrapping around its neck. It's okay to kill... for protection. To protect people... I have to tell myself, before constricting it around the demon's neck. Its body goes limp, and I let it collapse. "It's.. okay..." I try to tell myself. I wasn't completely convinced. But... I had to. I was helping myself, and this woman.
