❄ Creativity Is Intelligence Having Fun ❄
The blonde peeked over the white couch watching him dispatch her summons. He joust at her ability did little to anger her, rather it simply informed her he was capable of much more intricate magics. Lana could no longer keep her hands from shaking she was so afraid, oh what had she gotten herself into? Flipping the pages of her sketchbook she found just what she was looking for. Quietly she summoned them, long silent chains of black hiding their presence from him waiting to strike when she was ready. As he continued to cut through her summons she waited trying like hell to figure a way out of this. He wanted to kill her! Why? "You say your not bad, but following orders. Who do you let command you to kill innocent people?" she asked once again ducking behind the couch seeing he was making his way closer and closer.
She pushed even further back when the couch suddenly exploded in a flash. This caused a terrified scream to well up within the blonde as she tried desperately to push herself into the wall that was now at her back. Lana's eyes frozen on the blood trailing down his arm, not daring to look him in the eye. At least that was until he commanded her to prove her worth, something that only confused the blonde haired woman. At his words it seemed however the chain around her neck glowed bright once again and a great shield shone between them, blocking her would be killer. When the dragon attacked Arthur this caused Lana some relief to know she had some unknown force protecting her. Perhaps she would get out of this relatively unscathed?
Arthur's question fell on deaf ears as Lana was pretty much unable to reply. Lana had always hoped her dreams of magic were real, and had proclaimed so very much as a child. But her mother sat her down and made her believe otherwise over the years. Another one of the reasons Lana didn't have many friends. But this was a sensory overload. Perhaps it was the threat of her life or the fact she was still in shame mode, but this artist couldn't process. After blinking many times and trying to understand what he was asking Lana stuttered. "I- The necklace?" she asked grasping it. Just that simple action caused Lana to feel suddenly more calm and more in control, her shaking stilled and her eyes noticed that her chains were still at the ready.
Looking at his watch, then to her family's crest Lana's brow furrowed. How could he have gotten this? She had cried many nights over losing this family heirloom, but here it was in this madman's pocket. Standing up, suddenly finding her legs again, she glared at him angrily. Then with a small nod 15 to 20 thick black chains wound themselves around his arms and legs, binding even his fingers from moving. She snatched the watch from him and eyed him curiously, "No the question here is how you got this?" she said letting it sway from her hand.
Lana was not just anyone, no her ancestor's had been royal once. She could trace her linage back to one of the original French Royalty. This was her particular branch's crest, the watch however was a tradition in her family. Something her grand-pere had given her after grand-mere's passing. A watch given to him when he had gone away to war, one to help him remember his love by. Lana looked at him silently for a moment lost in thought, how could he have that? Her free hand played with the golden chain as usual when she was lost in thought. Confused Lana started to notice how fond she was of the necklace, how she always wore it. Yet she couldn't remember where she got it from. She couldn't honestly answer his question....
((OCC: Feel free to break out they aren't very strong, but she's of the mind to figure you out more than beat you right now. And she thinks your hands are necessary for magic.))
