Dirge's vision darkened as he fell. How close he was to the ground now, only a few hundred feet. He closed his eyes, and was prepared to die, even if he didn't have his affairs in order. The blast of the new student threw Dirge's body to the other side of the school, and he landed on the ill-prepared Impermissus, knocking him over.
"Holy--! You trying to sneak attack me or somethi--??" He noticed the blood and the lifelessness of the man and immediately began to panic.
"Oh s**t, wheres Sapientia??!" He turned to Cory and Memoria, who didn't hesitate in running off to find her, but it didn't take long. Sapientia was already there.
"Nice catch, Impermissus!" She shouted, running over with a crazily large book.
"What happened to him??" He asked, he wasn't about to let his rival die just like that.
"Omnium. Didn't you feel that dark presence? C'mon, you were there before, you should have recognized it." Impermissus said nothing in response as Sapientia knelt by Dirge and opened the book.
A purple aura surrounded Dirge as Sapientia worked her magic, channeling it through his body. A dark flame seemed to emit from the wound in Dirge's body...a clear sign of Dark Anima. It wasn't going to be easy to seal the wound. Much more to heal. With great difficulty the wound was practically invisible. Eventually Dirge's eyes opened. He tried to speak but nothing came out. Another minute passed with Sapientia trying to heal the internal damage, and eventually she backed off. Dirge sat up, feeling the where the wound was and he looked to Sapientia.
"What...? What happened?" He asked her, unsure of how he got here.
"I'm afraid Omnium is on to us. He's going to try to take us out when he can catch us alone. Its best not to travel alone for the moment." Dirge nodded, and after a brief check up Dirge went to go inside, it was easy to assume that it was safe inside the school.
Dirge walked down the hallway, still dizzy from the attack. He was going to have to change clothing and shower to get the blood out of his hair. Impermissus began sparring again with Memoria, However, he took their sparring a little more seriously, especially after that sudden spike of improvement. As for Cory...he disappeared as usual. However, he felt the presence of a vampire woman in their midst. He has gone off to scout out this new character, from a distance, of course. Hidden as best as he can. Sapientia walked around the school grounds, casting charms and barriers to prevent Omnium or Mortem from breaking back in to attack them again. Throughout all this, Saltatio was still sleeping peacefully.
