Others came in her wake, pale figures she barely noticed for all the attention she paid to the firey deity. Somewhere in her mind she was aware that she knew them, could put names to each of them without a second thought. But her primary focus was the Sun God and the havoc he was wreaking upon her land.

At least he paused in his rampage to speak to her with harsh words and clipped explanations. But nothing more than that and a stern glance, which was surprising for her. She'd heard about his rampage through the Edge, punishing any who stood up to him. But all he gave her was a telling to? It took her aback somewhat to realize that he must obviously see her differently than the unicorns. Startled her enough that she faltered mentally to adjust that thought into her knowns, faltered long enough to merely watch as he stalked off to blast his fire at the snow-capped mountains. Ice groaned and cracked before tumbling apart up there, becoming a threat that would need to be addressed before it either flooded or crushed the lands.

But she was quick behind him, a dark shadow behind his brilliance, a stalking roil of smoke behind his fire. Quite literately smoke, for her anger had sparked her magic as it had once before, and plumes of the stuff rolled off of her. Her mind was working rapidly, trying to fit together the pieces that she knew and fill in the blank spots. It kept her from acting quick enough to do something about the fire he flung at one of the others, but the sight of skin burning cut through her bemusement and sharpened her anger.

This time, when he lunged at the others, she flung herself forward. Powerful hindquarters allowed her to accelerate more rapidly than the god, and she dove between him and his living targets. Veils of smoke extended rapidly behind her as she turned to face him with a warning snap of her teeth at his face, blocking the others from his immediately view and he from theirs. That she had put herself in this seemingly enclosed space was entirely intentional. She could not stop his fire, but she could stop him. At least for a little while.

"Enough! I spoke truly when I told you that you won none over with these senseless attacks against all but those who hold your land. The Tuuli don't even care about you and your kin and yet you ignore the chance to convince them otherwise to put even more souls against you." That was something he hadn't touched from her earlier tirade, so she pressed home on that subject. "I do not care what your heavenly kin have supposedly done to you, or what you might have done to them in return. But I know they would not behave as you have done in return for these rampages through their lands. Instead we rebuild, and fewer and fewer come to worship you in light of all you have done."

Anger thrummed in her, but she forced herself to soften. To try to turn the tide of emotion. "Surely there is a more sensible, less destructive way of going about all this"
