Charlotte, whom shocked by the sudden gesture found herself slowly gazing to the side only to see;
"Layla..!" - The Lieutenant yelped.
Mila, whom was at the verge of passing out took notice of a blurry silhouette standing beside her, which upon its arrival caused a sudden burst of vigour to shoot up from her hand all throughout her entire stature.
"Haah..Haa..Lay..la..?" - Mila weakly muttered.
"Tch..! Dang it..! Don't leave..me out you two..!"
————
"Oh..promising..! What a great amount of Aethernan Energy..!"
"..She will be the next in line for sure..!"
"..."
Curse this "blessing." how ridiculous.
"Hm. Are these results..fabricated? This is.. disappointing.."
"Surely a just bunch of falsified documents..
bring the Inquisitor here at once..!"
"..erm.."
Why did I get it?
"..she..she wasn't able..to-to..cast it.."
"I-I-I refuse..! to be-believe that..!!"
I never wanted any of it.
"..Wait..she..she really.."
"..I..I'm..!!!"
I just wanted a normal life.
"..Si-sir..!!"
"Pl-please..! wa-wake up..!!"
Was it my fault?
"...No..-no...!!!"
"Yo..You...!!!"
Make it stop.
"You..!! Why were you..!! Even..
Born..!?"
"..Useless..!! Piece of vermin..!!"
OW!
"..I..absolutely...!!"
"Ab-hor you..!!"
MAKE IT STOP..!!!!
"Yes..M'Lady...?"
"..Take..this child..away from me.."
No..
"At once.."
"Corps..send her to the—"
DON'T LEAVE ME..!!
————
"DON'T LEAVE..ME OUT YOU TWO..!"
With her sudden proclaimation..
"...!!"
- Charlotte's flame that began to dim from a lack of energy suddenly overflowed with it, and as if reciprocating the same vigour that her ember was poured with;
"hm. you.."
A soft smile, radiating with admiration did form on Charlotte's sweaty countenance.
"alright..!"
Charlotte then quickly heaved a puff before she diverted a hundred percent of her attention towards the four hands, two belonging to hers, one to Mila, and one to Layla hovering over the wounds of the unconscious First Division Commander.
"go..!"
*PWOOF!*
"..!!" - Foryan's eyes widened, while the stunned Yenna found herself flinching upon the sight if it.
"..Woa..woah..!"
The Ember bursted out into a large, golden-coloured flame that completely engulfed their palms all the way up to their elbows while tiny freckles of different colours manifested inside of it:
"..I..no-no..! we can do-do..it...!"
Few was of miniscule, wind-like apparitions that was colourated in magenta looming inside of the fire which upon hovering it above maggot-infested wounds;
*Krump..*
Quickly locked in on them and accelerated akin to that of a missle, obliterating the maggots.
Apart from the Magenta-coloured fragments, there remained another;
"..You..two..! co-count me in..as well..!"
Which were small, but visible and sporadic lightning bolts repeatedly flashing and dissipating around the flame which was colourated in a pure, dark-blue colour at the edges, but at the center was of pure white.
*Zap..!*
While sounding out its mini rumbling roars while circling through the fire, it continued to counter the dimming and also the shrinking of it.
"..It's..working..!!"
"..Haah..Haah..I'm..I'm..fe-feeling better..?"
"..Ahaha! That's what I'm talking about..!"
*PWOOF!!*
"..A..amazing.."
- Foryan could simply stare with shimmering irises as she beheld the uniting of her three sister-like underlings; her hands began to slightly tremble while her heart was overtaken by a sudden hollowing feeling of a bittersweet nostalgia.. that though bored through the contents of her chest leaving behind a deep, hollowed, and almost painful hole.. but did indeed made it deep in a way that was profound.
"You've grown..you three..."
Foryan's mind was then overwhelmed with a sudden flow of distant recollections from a bygone past;
First of which depicted the snippets of a young girl with a golden-coloured hair, a wincing expression, ragged but somewhat extravagant clothing and a body painted in dirt while the dawn slowly creeped up from the horizon, causing the also golden sunrays to kiss over her skin.
"Come..Let me..see your injuries.."
Then visions that contained a hairless young girl with brown, fish-like eyes that signified no visible shimmering nor life despite reflecting the midday sun. Her hand was tightly clasped together while she maintained a downcasted expression, her either avoiding the woman's hand or slapping it away.
"Don't..don't be scared.. Big sis' not gonna hurt ya.."
Then the fragments of a scene that consisted of a young lass with a pair of rimless glasses, peasant-like dress in tatters with the exposed areas of her skin either covered in lumps and internal injuries or external bruises; scratches and wounds. Her soft, shoulder-length, light pink hair waving slightly with the cold, evening breeze.
*Shing..!*
Before she; the lass with a sneer, pulled out a sharp, metallic object that reflected back the light of the silver-lined moon with a glint off its surface.
"..! O-okay..I'm..Big Sis..and..Big Sis don't have any Bad Intentions.."
—
"Time.." - As the memory slowly ends.. Foryan could only muster up a small, contented smile as her irises continued to shimmer upon the three..
"..does indeed.." - The three, after healing the final injury that; caused a visible change to Hamilvan's previously wincing expression now turned neutral and devoid of pain, lost control of the flame which caused it to abruptly burst; pushing them all away with such force that they all fell to their butts.
*Thud!*
"ow..!"
"owieee.."
"yeowch..!"
...
...
Then after a few seconds they gazed at one another with a dumbfounded expression before..
"Pfft..."
..
..
"Ahahahaha!" - exploding into a series of shared chuckles and laughter!
"—flies fast."
"We did It..!"
- Then a with a final smile, did the three collectively yelled. Earning them a smile and a nod from Foryan, alongside Yenna's adorable, and docile clapping.
