TANDAVI & NATRAJ</style>
we walked a lonely road
beneath the fire of a thousand suns</style>

She follows the stench of magic, a flickering sunbeam drawn to illuminate the shadow.

Scarcely has the girl returned home before she is pulled away again, following the shadows and secrets which whisper of chaos stirring in the north. Golden legs move her with a supple grace; she is tireless and adamant as she makes her way north, black eyes searching the sky for any indicator as to what could possibly be going on. Behind her flowed a stream of embers, crackling and popping, prepared to build a cocoon of fire around the helpless, the injured, the strong. Fire Dancer and her brother see trouble and dive in proudly, paladins of Sunlight and foolish children of night.

And like the sun they find themselves stopped, drawn short and opposed by the horrifying sight of a battle of gods in a bloodstained land, strangers at war and a portal of black.

The magic alone is enough to make the girl quail, sensitive senses roaring into overdrive as color-odor-sound-taste overrides her mind, filling her with a symphony, cacophony, a mudslide of snow and fire and rain. She wants to scream but cannot move, overwhelmed as magic enters her veins. She cannot see anything but color and light. She cannot hear anything but the roaring of power.

But her brother has been aware. While the Fire Dancer acclimates her brother observes, quick gold eyes making easy work of the situation. Things are simple in the vulpine's mind: he sees a massive sickening bear, and he sees his friends and family fighting it, and he knows which side they must choose. He is a predator and she is prey, so he must be her courage when her instincts scream to flee, her focus when a goal must be attained. With unforgiving teeth he nips his sister's hocks, drawing blood and making her start; she blinks, spots of color leaving her vision and determination drawing grim lines across her face.

"Thanks. What's the plan?"

He tells her.

They emerge like sunlight pouring through a the clouds, violent and bright with Megaera's magic, a beacon directed at the Bear God's eyes. The boy leaves her quickly, making his way to where a child in white is weaving through the fray. He sees her stop, grab a crystal; he follows, barking out concernedly as she nearly careens into a much larger equine, and decides he shall try to be her eyes.

Encased in the safety of her light the girl charges, head held high, fire dancing through braided locks. On lanky legs she shifts and sways, dipping between bodies and hoping to keep his attention on her- though not for long. The magic takes energy, and she has never used it before; unable to sustain it for long the girl grows dim, her beacon now merely a memory of sunlight in your eyes.

She is not finished, though. Dark gaze quickly takes in the fighters, half her mind devoted to seeing where she can help and the other shuffling and sorting magic away. She finds a strand of sunlight, grabs it, and dashes off to the next source of power- an overwhelming, icy, silver source that smells of snow and tastes like pain. Fire Dancer nearly misses the shaking figure of the Ice Queen, buried as she is beneath the weight of her power; the girl is quickly at her side, mouth running across the white mare's body without regard for space as embers leave her lips, making fiery tracks for damaged nervous tissue. But there is more damage here, more than her fire can fix. "Tell me how to help you," she whispers to the mare, grabbing at new magic and wondering what the hell to do with it, what the hell the mare had done, to leave her so desperately broken.

[ Tandavi enters the battle glowing brightly, hoping to blind the god with her beacon. It lasts about 5 seconds, then she runs to where Ophelia is and tries to help her, absorbing Phi's magic.

Natraj makes his way to Erthë, trying to act as a guide as she struggles to collect crystals ]
