Things were progressing smoothly and the three were getting close to the end. Making the walk instead of flying especially as she escorted the little ones, made this trip exponentially long. Lumikki hated being on her feet like this, but carrying them would be too much to muster.
As the girls were walking in front of her, mumbling about their plans and goals of becoming mages, Lumikki would keep looking around. Just because Tamas cleared a path, it would not mean it would stay that way for long. Though for the most part the trip as been silent, albeit a little gruesome with all the corpse. But lumikki kept the young girls fairly distracted and excited, so the surroundings would just fade from their attention.
Yet nothing was guaranteed to be easy she thought as she happened to hear something from the air. She turned her head to see something crash in a building near by.
"Mhac na galla...," she groaned to herself. They were so close to making a clean escape. She sighed an aggressively rubbed her face. Mentally preparing a plan as fast as she could muster. The two little girls were panicked from the loud sound and clung to her legs. She gentle patted their legs and crouched down to eye level.
"Big sis gots ta get to work real quick. Mind hidin for me till I call out for ya?" Lumikki spoke to them soft and sweetly, soothing the girls just enough to do as she'd ask. Tucking themselves away in the gap of the buildings. She would watch as they hid, looking lovingly and calm as she did, only to look back at the crash site with pure contempt on her face. She glared in that direction until the intruder finally managed to dig themself out. A massive man with wings crawled out the rubble, rubbing his head to relieve the pain. He didn't even notice she was there until he happened to look away. Startled at first to see someone just standing there and staring but he began to laugh soon after. "Aren't you brave, don't see the need to run away do ya. I wonder then does that mean your up for a fight? Kill on sight were my orders little girl, sucks for you that I happened to fall your way." He was thoughtfully amuse from his find, thinking he found a girl to toy with before he killed her. This made it so much easier for Lumikki to empty her ire.
She cocked her head back as she laughed in relief. This confused the man and got him somewhat annoyed. Before he could open his mouth to annoy her further, Lumikki already shifted in form, her wings materializing in an instant just before she kicked on the ground and darted to him. He was caught off guard he could even fly, closing his wings to shield from the blow. She changed her trajectory slight in the last second, flying just to the side of him. Her arms were crossed as she took off and she uncrossed them as she made her turn. Black shards materilized in the air and shot forward, striking the man in his unguarded sides. He winced from the pain and coughed up blood from the damage. As Lumikki made distance she clutched the air before her, a black tendril slammed at the man and force him down. He wouldn't stay down for long even though the blow was strong. Before she could turn back around to face him, he dart back at her. Lumikki would notice just as she was going to turn over, opting to fly backwards instead. She was gonna channel a spell to toss at him but he wouldn't give her a chance. He grabbed at her wrist and forced her to fly downward. She barely had the time to cut the momentum angle her wings to change direction, clipping a building and she flew past and almost losing a wings.
"Tolla-thon!" She grumbled loudly. She was losing her patience now. The man found himself laugh at her frustration. "You have way more fight in you than I thought little birdie! Way more fun than the other girls I tore apart." He wiped his lip of the blood he coughed, more amused than angry now.
Lumikki took the moment he allowed her to inhale deeply. Icing her emotions so that she wouldn't be anymore reckless than needed. She was alone right now and only she knew where the little ones were. She sighed deeply and mentally prepared. Pulling back into the cold within.
Then before the man could run her down again, she would snap. Her frigid cold chasing done the man who was not far off. Chilling him before he could move, sapping him of strength and speed. He didn't like the feeling of it, but as he darted for her again he couldn't match anyway near the speed he had before. Now he was getting angry. "Hey! What kinda cheap trick is this?!" He spun in place kicking up the wind nearby. The vortex threatening to drag her in but a black tendril held her down. She told the moment to charge a vortex of her own, her bitter frost nebula in her palming slowly picking up speed. Just before he would cut his tornado, she would send her spell out. The wind speeding up her attack. A he finally was still it would cut into him, the force and speed splitting him in too. His body falling to the floor with a thud. Lumikki relaxed her grip and dissipated her tendril. Taking to moment to breathe easy before meeting back with the girls.
She would walk them further in only to see Tamas in the distance leaning on his sword. Her anger spilling out of her all over again, blazing anew.
