••• Shira grimaced slightly as Michi stopped her in her tracks and then listened to both her and Atticus. She said nothing as she ended up walking towards one of the trees and sitting down underneath it. •••

Ina Zuma
Ina sighed as she watched Shira and got up, she then walked over past Shira and put back on her clothes, she then walked back over to Shira with a large smile. "My name is Ina Zuma, it's nice to meet you." She said as she held her hand out, she knew she looked really weird but first of all she was never properly introduced to Shira and she figured it would help relieve some stress. "What's your name Shira?" She asked in a kind tone.
Standing up, Atticus jumped from the plateau all the way over to where Shira and Michi were, landing right in front of Shira. "I don't like you like this. It's very disappointing." he told her rather bluntly. "So your parents were taken captive and now you have to step up and lead us, so what?" Leaning down Atticus picked Shira up by the collar of her shirt, "You do realize that there are worse things that could have happened right?" Atticus had tried the nice approach but it seemed that it didn't work so he would try his way. "You aren't the only one hurting here, both Michi and I also feel responsible for all of this, I'm sure Herald and Emma are pretty upset about how things turned out as well. However, we are not moping around, we all resolved to get stronger and take back the city, but how can that happen if our leader is someone who can't even handle something as trivial as this?"

Ina Zuma
Ina was a little annoyed at Atticus at his comment about Shira's parents and cleared her throat to get his attention, for once she didn't have a happy look on her face. "Losing a parent isn't something that's easy to recover from, just let me handle this." She told Atticus in a stern tone before turning around to Shira. "Sorry, so where were we again?" She asked herself out loud.

Like the ancient magic I saw in my dreams when I was young I want to see you, smiling with the power to destroy even the dark.
••• Shira was about to answer Ina but then got yanked upward by Atticus from her collar. She stared at him for a few moments "My dad is getting tortured right now, my mom is too. So are Dara and Aislin's parents. Many people in Death City are dead as well because we couldn't stop them. That is trivial?" she asked him. "Don't get mad at me for hurting because my family is in the hands of the enemy. For feeling ashamed of making it here knowing that the place my family worked so hard for is now a toy for your damn 'father' and there was nothing I could do about it. I have to get my grip together and I know that too well. That is why I went on what was supposed to be a quiet walk because I know that when I step foot into that camp again, I have to be a leader that everyone expects me to be and give a speech to motivate the rest of the DWMA." she told him, now frowning up at him. "So don't give me any crap about 'moping around' for a measly five minutes. I have the right to feel sorrow like everyone else here! It isn't fair that I can't cry and everyone else in the refuge camp can! Because if I cry there then everyone thinks there is no hope since the shinigami is losing it!" she snapped at him. She glanced at Ina then before looking to Atticus once more as she waited for him to let go of her so she could answer Ina as well as possibly leave. It was becoming difficult to cope with everything now, and she was close to spilling over. •••

- Blake -
Meister
I've never been one to fight for no reason...
---------------------------------
Blake walked into the area with a slow approach. When he arrived, his mind was blown away by the scenery. It was quite vast as some of the air was filled with the mist that came from the waterfalls. Blake had since finished his cigarette and took in a deep breath. He felt refreshed as the rest of the smoke left his lungs and was replaced with crisp fresh air. He kicked off the ground and started to fly around for the best possible place to take up some lite training. This might be fun. Before long he noticed Ina, Michi, Shira, and Atticus as they seamed to have been of their cloths. He was quite puzzled by what he saw as he floated up to a small waterfall that over looked most of the valley. Guess I have to take it easy for now. As he levitated under the water fall, Blake could feel its healing properties taking effect rather quickly. He rested his sword on his shoulder as he began to meditate. As he closed his eyes he saw a young form of himself, holding the same sword his father gave him. What the heck are you doing hear? Blake asked as realized he was within his own subconscious. The young Blake gave him a vile glare as he turned toward him, as if he hadn't noticed he was their to begin with. You lost... went the boy as his words seamed to echo in the dreary scenery that was the subconscious of Blake. He looked at the small boy with a bit of confusion before he spoke. Yeah, I know. But then again was it really a loss seeing as how we retreated? The young Blake's demeanor turned icy as his grip of his blade tightened.Is that supposed to be a joke? Did you forget I hated jokes? You were fighting Divine, strongest demon on the planet, one of the biggest threats to it as well. You had an ace up your sleeve, ready to go and all you did was wait... Blake gulped at his own revelation as the fragment of his subconscious went on.... You tried to think thing through, didn't you?Well, yeah. I couldn't risk dying... Before he finished his younger form was upon him as he stared to choke him. Couldn't risk dying? What did I say about jokes? Blake could hear a rumbling around him as the grip of his younger self tightened his grip. You are a warrior, are you not? In battle there will always be a risk of dying, I thought you understood that? A second series of rumbling started to make itself known as Blake's soul started to get agitated. What do you mean, you "thought I understood that"? The younger Blake was startled by the sudden outburst from Blake. Blake on the other hand grabbed the child's throat. Fine, I'll tell you. But first you tell me, why didn't you use your ace? There was a small pause as the two of them kept each others hand on each others throats. I... I don't know. The two Blakes let go of each other as the original Blake started to question his actions. The younger Blake approached the original as he picked up both swords. The reason why you didn't use your ace is cause you hesitated. Now I don't know why you did, but ya did. Maybe it was the madness, an alignment of the stars, sun in your eyes, or maybe it was fear. Now I don't know what it was but all I know is that you have to get over that. You're Blake Crawler, start acting like it. You don't think of the risk you just jump right in. Maybe its the madness of knowledge but you have to stop thinking so much and just do. You can analyse, but do it while you fight. You're more focused that way. The younger Blake tossed back the older Blake sword as he drew his own. Ready? Blake gave his younger self a smirk as he unsheathed his blade. You talk to much... Oh Really... The two dashed toward each other as they clashed swords, causing a shock wave to rupture the dreary subconscious into a bright blue sky. You know, you could always get rid of me, why not? Who else would I let yell at me like that, hmm? Instantly, Blake woke from his trance as he found himself submerged under water. He grabbed his sword and floated to the top. He looked down at the others to find Shira getting her feeling off her chest.

Michi was just laying on the boulder on her stomach with a sigh. "Then... how about this. Go over near the waterfall and stare. Atticus said that these waterfalls unlock someone's true side and who they are.. I think I'm right about that. Ina tried it and I did. It'll help with that stress of yours. Show us that true side of yours and just let it out." She stated, rubbing her eyes a bit then remains quiet.

✳Follow me under and pull me apart ✳I understand there's nothing left ✳Pain so familiar and close to the heart ✳No more, no less, I won't forget
Hearing Ina, Atticus sighed, well believe it or not he had lost his parents, or rather made to believe he did. Shira should know this, but even with that, he did not let it get him down. He strove to become the greatest warrior there ever was, but he and Shira were two different people. Staring at Shira, Atticus showed little emotion towards her. After she was finished speaking, Atticus just tossed her back on the ground and turned away, "I pity you." he muttered before walking towards the area where his clothes were. "You've only just got the title of Leader and yet you are already crumbling under the weight. It was my mistake to think that you could handle such responsibility." Atticus began putting on his clothes then, "Life isn't fair, so get over it. I thought that with you I could repent and redeem myself, but it seems that you are no better than I. You're still just a little girl, after-all." After finishing dressing himself, Atticus turned back to see Shira, "If you can't handle all this responsibility then maybe you should give the command to someone more worthy."
••• Shira knelt on the ground, quietly listening to Atticus "I don't want your pity." she hissed at him before getting up "No thank you... Sorry but I need to be alone for a while." she told Michi as she dusted herself off and began walking away "Sorry for bothering all of you." she told them. She sensed Blake was there too but had too much on her mind to really focus on who was around. After getting far enough away from where Atticus was located she began running. She didn't know why, she just did. After a few minutes the world came to a halt as she stopped and fell so she was sitting on the ground. What would father do? a voice in her head thought. She grimaced slightly then and quickly brought her knees up to her chest and resting her head on them. Alphonse was right... I can't rely on emotions... I am just becoming a bad excuse for a leader then. she thought as she squeezed her eyes shut and began thinking to herself quietly. •••

Ina Zuma
Ina looked over at Atticus with a slight glare. "I thought you wanted to relieve her stress, can you just let me and Michi handle this." She said in a concerned tone. "We can handle it from here." She added in kind of a cold tone.
Looking back at Ina, Atticus sighed, "Kind words and hugs will not help her. She bears the title of Leader and she must be able to handle the pressure that comes with it. This time, I won't just brush off her excuses no matter what they are." he said before watching Shira go off towards another direction. Although his words were harsh, Atticus knew that being kind and considerate would only make her weaker and what they needed was a leader who could handle anything, even the death of her parents, if it should happen. "Ina, Michi, if you want, you can go talk to her, because as of now, I do not wish to see her, let alone speak to her when she is in such a sorry state. Tell her this, if she no longer wishes to hold the title, give it to Eric or one of the graduates from DWMA, either one will be more suited than she is," With those last words, Atticus would walk off towards one of the other valley waterfalls.
••• Shira continued sitting in a small spot under a tree quietly. The things that were rushing through her head since she woke up after being healed began to settle down. She opened her eyes then and glanced around at her surroundings. After a few moments she sighed and stood up. She walked for a bit longer before hearing roaring water. She glanced over and saw another waterfall, a small one. She recalled what Michi said and sighed again as she walked over to it. She glanced around for a few moments, using her soul perception to make sure no one was around before she unbuttoned her jacket followed by stepping out of the rest of her clothes except for a tank top, bra, and panties. She made a face then as she folded her other clothes and stepped into the water and towards the water fall. The water seemed shallow enough for her to sit down in front of the falls for she decided to do that. She stared at the falls silently before she began seeing things. Sadness, fear, anger, many negative emotions suddenly appeared in front of her. She grimaced as she saw those sides of her but then something else appeared. A desire to prove herself. She stared at the water for a few more moments before leaning forwards, having the water raining down go down onto her head. She kept her eyes closed as she felt the water stream down her head and neck, the negative feelings and stress seemed to rush away with it. She moved so she was directly under the waterfall, keeping her eyes closed still. •••

Ina Zuma
Ina sighed and walked back towards Michi and sat down next to her. "Please don't go, I'd like to just sit here with you right now." She said as she rested her head on Michi's shoulder. "Today's been too stressful and I just need some time to relax, it'd be nice if I could spend that time with you as a friend of course." She said adding in the last part. "As a best friend." She added with a small laugh.
While Shira was busy with the waterfall, a shadow would appear on top the waterfall's ledge. It had arrived there just as she went under the waterfall, meaning she would not have sensed its presence earlier. As Shira seemed to have seen what she truly felt inside, the voice behind the shadow would finally speak up. "Did you see what you needed or rather wanted?" it said, revealing itself to be Atticus. He had arrived there a few minutes after Shira did, but chose not to say anything, until now. "Tell me what you saw." he demanded. He was curious to see what Shira really thought.
