"I'm not sure it's anything that can be healed Hono-sama... I'll settle down eventually... Though I'm sure that some water would do me good than bad," she held her hand back out, "If it's alright?"

Time to rest? Bah, he had little time to take a breath. It had been so sudden...he didn't expect it to end. At least not like that. For a moment Shin noted a flash of light and only briefly senced what was going on. No time to react.
"Get down"
He sounded his alarm to Tenma and the young woman whom he had taken as an understudy for the time of their wait. Well the wait was over, it was done...they were screwed. Shin's words were cut short as they light rushed from behind him moving clearly forward and into his view. His pupils changed sized and the light overwhelmed him. Much like that of lightning, the light was the first one to come.
The light intensified and the sound of a great tear was heard. Rock to rubble, metal to insanely hot meteors...the sound was all there. The sounds of screaming from the encampment, and from elsewhere. He saw a tent, his tent...fly by his view but it was hardly the time to care about such things. Not now, not this time...not ever.
Impact.
Getting hit woulden't say enough. The assault was brutal...and Shin coulden't move. Great. He turned his head to the side sharply to note a large piece of what he belived was part of the stadium, to come flying through the forest headed directly at him. It shattered tree's, kicked up rock, and carved a trail of death and destruction in its wake. He had but one thought. One single figment of thought as it flew through his mind with the same speed and force of the projectile.
s**t...
The rock hit him square in the back. His head was thrown back, his eyes widened, and blood shot from his gaping mouth. Time stood still for a moment as impact struck his body. Sudenly he didn't feel strong, didn't feel brave. He felt like a frail little plaything. Some little toy that a kid was playing with. Fragile as a toothpick...and he just snapped.
Time resumed and Shin was hurled forward with the rock. His body was sprung against it in an inhuman kind of way. He looked dead...but wasn't. The rock continued quite a distance away with him as its passenger. When it landed and stop its forward motion, he didn't. Shin traveled quite a bit more before landing abruptly, sprawled on the ground in every which way.
It hurt.
For a moment, he thought he should get up. Thought he should walk back to the stadium to see what happened, what had become of his home, the place he had taken refuge for so long. Who was he kidding, there was no possible way he could move. Not yet at least. He tried to breathe, the wind after all was knocked out of his system. But air came slowly, in short breaths mixed with blood and spit. His eyes fluttered for a bit and then closed.
In a minute...
He faded from that realm, into a dream. A dream he always had. Nitemare really.
[Sounds of burning buildings, horses, and screaming fade in with the scene]
"Oof"
A young boy's body went flying accross the way. A man in armor recalled his foot and grinned, spitting in the boys direction.
"Git up boi!"
The boy struggled to stand but his attempts were in vain. Another solder turned to the first who had spoke.
"He's weak! Isn't that right boy! Weak! Weak like your father, and frail like your mother!"
...Mother....Father...
He raised his head and peered at the two men through one eye.
"Your father was weak, he snapped easily under our might"
"Yeah! And your ma' aint' gonna do nuthin cause she ain't even care! No one care about ya'"
Your wrong...
"Get away from him!"
It was a woman's voice. Only briefly. It was cut short and instead replaced by the sound of tearing flesh followed by a scream.
...
"Get away from here Shin....you..m-must...run. Survive. For me..a-and...y-your f-fath...er"
Mother... No...Mother... MOTHER!

"I sure will... Thank you Hono-sama"

Her head whipped to the stadium and debris littered from the sky. What in the sweet sins and virtues had happened?! Panic enduced then but Eien dived with Fuin in her arms then, letting her star flare to life to protect the little one within her arms.
She was weak and could not use her power especially with Rev within her now, but wait... looking up she looked to the heavens before letting herself go...
Glowing a soft silver, but the strain was a great deal for her well the chaos started all around them. Tear gems streamed down her face, creating star shaped gems when they hit the floor and she held Fuin closer.
Must protect...must protect....must protect....
And then the light, the blinding light aura of the phoenix from the stadium. She had not seen one in so long... so long...
The emotions she felt around her... dear sins and virtues.. so much...so much...
As fast as it came and went, it was gone and she felt Fuin wiggle within her grasp.
Wait... something else was wrong... no....no...no it was too early... not now?!
As it passed Eien let the shield fall and she too fell onto her back, and let out a piecring silent cry. And the other thing that would get attention from anyone was the cracks heard around her, but it was strange no glass was around her at all. Nor windows of any type. She clenched Fuin though trying to calm herself and crystal-clear blood poured from her legs. Eien whimpered, she was scared and did not know what to do and was panicking.
No...she had to keep control...had to keep control....
As if a mircale Dr. Layer appeared to her side and his emerald eyes widened, helping Eien to her feet and to a tree. He gently examined Eien before his eyes gazed at her with great sorrow and shook his head. Taking Fuin from her so the eiehian maiden would not crush her new charge.
He knew what was happening, the shock must have had it happen. Holding Fuin with one hand he placed two fingers in his mouth and let out a great whistle. Two other men came and kneeled down to Eien. Giving Fuin to one of them, the doctor nodded before saying to Eien gravely, "Ceres....you need to push... come on..."
Eien struggled and shook her head, no it was too early. What had happened to her baby? What had happened to Revolution?! Then her eyes widened... the shield... protect...
The last thing she remembered before going limp was seeing Fuin's little face.
Protect....protect....
She had lost another child... how could she protect Fuin as well... it was always her fault...

Reaper was grinning slighty at Shin's response it seemed like him to respond that way. THen something went completely wrong all together in the entire world. It was if the time itself stood at a stand still. The owls that had been about went slightly the birds suddenly bursted from their trees and homes and went soaring overhead as if escaping something.
That was when the earth started to tremble and shake beneath her feet about the same time Shin started to yell something. But by then it was too late...before any of his words could even reach Reaper she felt the sudden wind escaping blast come up from behind them. That enough nearly knocked her completely off her own two feet.
Reaper spun around and caught sight of the direction of the great mighty stadium suddenly explode in a great field of fire and destruction. The ground was being ripped away along with anything within its path. The screams coming to her ears and then the actual roar of the explosion that was so loud you could almost not hear it.
There was simply nothing she could've done to protect herself at all. That was when it happened a tree not far from them suddenly loosed footing to the ground and came darting straight at her. She attempted to through herself to the ground but it caught her and together they went flying backwards.
Tumbling crazily over the once beautifuly lands till she crashed to the ground. Feeling something prickly come up against her back side as she laid there a blood trail coming out of the corner of her mouth. Her eyes caught sight of a boulder coming straight her way but she couldn't seem to move at all.
That was when she saw it...saw herself back within the white marble walls watching the two children laugh and play happily before her. Maria....Jacob.....Tears were just starting to come from the corners of her eyes as the boulder came straight at her and everything went black.

Fuin eyes grew wide in shock as Eien dived to the floor, clutching the small shadow girl to her before letting out a series of whines in complaint at Eien's clenching and wriggled about desperately in her grasp. That was until the doctor appeared and prised Fuin out of Eien's grasp and handed her to a complete stranger who held onto her equally as firmly.
The small shadow huffed indignitly and wriggled out of the mans arms and tried to reach towards Eien with the one hand the bloke didn't have hold of, her fingers clasping and unclasping towards the pain ridden woman.
"Mama... Mama!" Fuin repeated again and again, trying to get some response from her, pulling hard on the arm the man had hold of.
"Now hold on little girl, the doctors trying to help your Mama! Now just stay still and be quiet to let the doctor do his job okay?"
Fuin stopped pulling and turned to stare at the man with her eyes flaming a deep red. The man restraining her would let out an audible hasp as the girls features and skin seemed to melt away, leaving a black, featureless figurine clad in the piece of cloth Eien had wrapped her in. What happened next would have knocked any out of the water.
The girl began to melt into the ground. Completely disappearing until where the man had been holding her arm only air remained along with the piece of cloth from Eien's shirt on the ground Fuin had melted into.
An indistince black shadow formed on the floor and travelled relatively unnoticed across to Eien's side where it then began to bubble as Fuin began to reform from her short shadow meld, her featureless black figure forming first before the surface layer of shadow rippled to create her naked form with caring and concerned eyes, holding a small hand out to Eien to stroke her hair softly.
"Mama?"

The doctor shook his head, their was nothing they could do. She was a different speices than he had ever seen, the clear blood gave it away or that for simple the body of the child inside of her was merely a shell of what she was. They would need to get Ceres to a shelter and fast, just something until she woke up and needed to rest.
Nodding to one of the men, he started clean what he could well the other went to see what supplies he could salvage. Dr. Layer regarded Fuin before reaching out and stroking her hair. "Mama? ..I see... Mama had to go to sleep quickly though little one, just sit tight and we'll have her awake in no time alright?"
Yet with his shakey tone he sounded like he was convincing himself than Fuin in all honesty. Sighing he took Eien's hand before gently lowering her skirt, Fuin would not need to see that display.
---
It was dark... again... the darkness is so tight... just like the pure chambers... oh sweet sins and virtues... make it stop....make it stop....
Dark blue eyes... dark blue eyes... the hands... the hands.... kois.... eternals...
Eien was floating in a sea of darkness that clinched her like a rag doll. It was the one thing she could never admit, her fear of shadows and men. ...but seeing Fuin's little eyes she could not turn the little shadow away. How could she not with the ruby innocent eyes looking back at her.
...protect....protect....protect...protect....
She would... for Fuin.
With that Eien's silver star shaded eyes slowly fluttered open, long lashes curling up to the heavens. Reaching up, she smiled weakly to Fuin and looked into ruby concerned eyes. The silver star on her brow glowing brighter than ever for the time being, she would fight this.
=Mama is alright my little one, just had a tired spell is all...=
Yet deep within the heart of Eien... she knew what had happened... and she will mourn in time and return to eternity with Revolution's star-soul.
Reaching up she looked to the shocked doctor who's mouth was hanging wide downward like a barn door. Gently reaching up she stroked Fuin's soft locks before gathering the little shadow in her arms, keeping her warm and safe again.
Wincing for a moment at the second of discomfort, but it passed. The men sent out to get supplies came back just then and handed somethings to the doctor.
"...Ceres... I have to see to some things...may I?"
Eien nodded absent-mindedly. Placing a soft danity hand on the back of Fuin's head and pressing it softly to the top of her bosom. Not hard or would cause the little pain but firmly and gently so that she would not see the things going on below her. Kissing the top of Fuin's head to say it is alright.

If you thought waking from being knocked out was the same as being normally awakening from sleep then you were far wrong. It was NOTHING to that not even close. When you first awake from a sleep you already know where you are and when you slept. But..when you first wake from being unconscious its a completely different story.
You wouldn't have a idea of where you are or what even happened it would all be one huge blur to you. That was how it was for Reaper after the explosion from the stadium struck her and the people around her down. She awoken harshly from the sound of her siblings screaming out her name. With the spray of their blood painting the heavans.
Reaper awoke with a start and nearly lept out of the safety of her skin. There was a thick haze of smoke at first built up from the soil. Then is slowly settled and Reaper found herself intangled within a mass of thorns. Feeling its claws sink into her body as the vines were expertialy wrapped around her small slender body. Dried blood all the way down the side of her face from a wound upon her head. Where was she?

A few hours after the disaster of the arena...
Armoured boots cruched small clunks of dirt beneath his feet as he stepped through the path in the forest, surveying the debris and destruction skeptically. He wondered what happened here, but then again, what didnt happen here? With a shrug, he just continued moving onward.
The closer he got tot the arena however, the more destruction was evident, the ground torn up and missing trees, rubble laying in so many places all around. One would have to wonder where it all came from, only then to see a large clearing of missing trees, the earth upturned, and the arena as nothing more than a few stone bricks at its foundation.
He didnt say anything, just simply looking on in shock at such a power which could do such a thing. Something only written in legends and myths, but this was fully real.
Once he got it through his mind that this place was gone, and that there was probably nobody around, he turned around, vaguely remembering something about a town nearby. Perhaps he'll try his luck there for a fight, for any survivirs probably had gone there for shelter after something like this.

He sat up his head spinning.
The hell, what the hell happened here?
He thought for a second moving his hand up to his head trying to calm it. As he touched his head he felt a slight wet warmth on his scalp. Moving his hand back away he looked at it confused for a second until he recognized the slightly coagulated blood on his hand. Not much, just from something hitting him which would explain both his headache and why he didn't remmeber anything
But who the hell would hit me...
his thoughts trailing off as he looked at what was supposed to be the stadium.
"the ******** happened?!"
He looked around noticing pieces of rock from the stadium around him.
"The hell..."
He said trailing off dumbfoundedly.

It had been a long while since the destruction of the stadium. Shin had awoken from his nitemare and opened his eyes slowly. Yeah, he hurt...but he had to get up. He had to move back torwards the encampment, and he had to know.
Shin slowly picked himself off of the ground. It was difficult and he was still shakey. He stumbled forward, on accident really...he was simply trying to keep his feet underneath himself and stand. He didn't have a lot of physical enegy within himself, but he had to heal his body, his fatigue.
As he walked forward a faint, very faint redish glow surrounded his body. This would ultimatley heal him, but at its present level, it would take a long while to heal. Still however, Shin moved forward...towards the encampment, to see...

Reaper reached over painfully for her sword which rested not that far from her. So close...yet it seemed so far away at the same time. Her finger tips just brushing the top of the sword. THe thorns sinking deeper into her flesh as she reached further for the sword.
Feeling them peirce her all over her body before finally out of some great miracle her hand closed around the hilt of the sword. Bringing it forth holding it formly within her grasp before starting to painfully hack away at the thorns. Ignoring the wounds that she was created upon her body.
Knowing that if she didn't get out of here soon she was going to die of hydration and starvation. Slowly the thorns started to be hacked away but she had to move faster. Which was difficult considering she was starting to see three swords intstead of one.
"..the...hell?" she whispered. "..when did i...get three swords?"
