Lakeside Ruins The southern side of the lake, while equally as rocky as the north, features more prominently relatively intact ruins. Some of which are submerged, but a good deal provide places to hide out along the coast. Due to the destruction of the dam, the floodwaters have submerged much of the ruins.

A group of shades entered carrying packs. Some empty, other carrying tools. The group of them began to set up for hard work, while the slightly tougher looking leader looked about to make sure no enemies had arrieved.
They would gather materials here, and maybe set up something more perminant.

Sunstrike arrived with Sey in tow, looking over the new defenses at the lakeside and nodding in approval at how soon everything was underway.
"Is you're boyfriend always so rough and ready?" Sunstrike was one to talk really...

Sey blanched. "He's not my boyfriend." She stated, finding the ruins a lot more interesting then she had before.
"What are we doing as defenses here? You're not going to make a net here again, are you?" Sey said, shuddering at the memory of the magical drain.

The shades were hard at work. Tearing down some buildings, and buildings some new walls.

"What can I do to help here Sunstrike?" She said, tilting her head and staring at the tall Demon. She was itching to do something - the adrenelin from jumping to the plains was still in her system and she had almost completely recovered from her barriers.

He held out a hand, looking down.
"How much magic you got left in you Sey?" The shades that had come with them melded into the rest to boost the efficiancy. The small fort/shanty was comming along very quickly now.

"Enough." She said as she stared at Sunstrike. "Why?"

Sunstrike looked at her and grinned.
"Right, you..." His feet moved, and where he was standing was a rune. "Here."
When she was steady he motioned Flare over.
"This is going to be fun but be ready for it to go splat."
Sunstrike rolled up his sleeves and put both hands on Sey.
"You're going to have to do most of this Sey, but I'll guide. They'll be guardians of white, base them off the shades you see, form it in your mind, and make a projection, as if you were manipulating a shield to cover a person, only with no person inside...make five, if you can."

Sey felt herself regretting offering her help to Sun again, but she did what he asked. Standing where the rune was, Sey stared at Sun who had his hands on her shoulders and listened to his directions carefully.
"Guardians of White... Like the shades." Closing her eyes, Sey pictured them inside her head - formless and maleable like the Shades but glowing instead of black, and frowned; attempting to project them like her shields.
"I..." Trying, Sey waited for Sunstrike's next directions.

"And what am I supposed to do?" Flare asked, coming over to see what the fuss was all about. "Your other shield has already taken about half of my reserves building itself up today."

The shades, while they apreciated the help, didn't stop the work. They were building a small fort out of wood and salvaged stone. Still had a long way to go though, but as long as they weren't interupted.
The armoured shade estimated they would have something defensable in 15 minutes.

"S'okay, just fill the space like a jug with your magic..." He was watching the ground a few centimeters away bubble.
He grinned at Flare. "You're moral support of course!" The irony probably wouldn't be lost on the demoness. "Actually, could you just stand a little to the left."
Something sparked between the white mage and himself. "You're doing fine Sey, but you gotta build it." Mentally she'd suddenly feel a big nudge magic wise in the right direction.
Sun didn't make any indication as to whether he'd pushed against her internal shields, but his hands were tight against her shoulders.

Gasping, Sey felt a rush of energy and she let it loose into the area Sunstrike had pointed out. Build it? Fine, she'd build it.
"Erg.." Releasing the divine energy into the area with a small cry, Sey clutched onto Sunstrike's chest as she kept her eyes closed in concentration.
"I hope you know what you're doing."

"Heh," the characteristic smirk seemed to change into something that resembled...a smile? No, surely it couldn't be.
"Alright. Now what?"
She had shifted her position a little to the left, standing where he'd indicated. She was watching both Sun and Sey, and the bubbling ground near them. For a moment she idly wondered if Sun intended to make these guardians breathe fire.
