Hiro opened his eyes, but they were not his own. After that flash he had seen with Sayha, just a little before whatever that light was, his vision faded, and now it was to this. Unbelieving, he felt himself move, without actually moving...

Hope twirled around her spear a few times, stabbing it into the ground. Business as usual, it seemed, for the people all around her. Nothing seemed too far out of the ordinary. At least, not for now. She was on off duty, as her normal schedule would have had her training in between combat exercises, in between patrols, in between a whole multitude of other things. Being the person she was, she held a large deal of weight in all that she did, and since she was one of the more affluent warriors in the clan, she had some kind of importance that normally would have left her with an abnormal about of things to take care of. It was nice to just get away and relax for a bit, as she didn't get to do a lot of the time. She decided to stop off at one of the fountains in the city, and bide her time.

Just as soon as she had begun to take a break, something terrible began to happen. A Portal exploded into existence just a little ways from where she stood. It was massive. All of the people in the square had been caught off guard, looking at the portal in fear and confusion. Hope was no exception. As she had begun to reach for her spear, something began to swarm out of the portal, immediately chasing after some of the civilians. It reached down, and slammed its hand into the ground, crushing multiple civilians. The rest in the plaza began to run away, frightened, while some others were unfortunate enough to be caught by the monster's gaze. Picking up the spear from the ground where it stood, Hope charged over to it without a second thought.

She brought her weapon up and around, slashing at it viciously. "Anchor Howl!" She shouted, holding her spear up in a defensive manner. As the monster was turning around, she barked orders at the other civilians. "Get the guards! I'll hold this thing here! If any of you are able to fight as well, do so now! We need to stop this thing, and send it back home, or crush it where it stands!" She turned back to see the monster now fully looking at her. Fear swelled over her, as she saw just what it was. A massive swarm of black hornets. She still steeled herself for whatever attacks may come her way.

When Sayha opened her eyes, something was… off. She felt out of place. The world around her must have been what was once Lonsdale. Everything seemed normal. However, Sayha quickly realized she wasn’t in her own body. --- Sage had been in town for the day visiting some friends since she had no obligations, aka training, she needed to fulfill that day. She had just left the café one of her friends worked at and had planned on heading out soon. However, she felt a magic force like never before. Something was wrong. Were they being attacked? Instead of heading to the gate, she ran through the crowd of people feeling to see a huge portal ripped through the air by the Fortune of Fate. Black swarms of some sort of monster she had never seen before were coming through the portal. Thankfully she saw someone she knew very well begin to pull their attention to stop them from attacking the citizens. Of course, during the middle of all that, she was barking orders. That was the Hope she knew all too well. Sage was not a fighter but rather a healer, but that didn’t matter. She readied the staff she had been carrying. She needed to help whether she wanted to or not. “<Reactive Barrier!>” Sage casted the shield on Hope, getting ready for the swarm to attack her. However, she also needed to protect herself just in case they were to turn on her right away, “<Rebound Barrier>!”

Hope braced herself for an attack, as the monster swung its massive arm out to slap her away. But, just before the attack struck her, she found a barrier, slowing down the attack significantly as it passed through. Jumping out of the way nimbly, the woman turned around to face the one who had helped her. Her eyes brightened up as the girl just nearby her, who had cast the spell, came into her vision. "Sage!" Hope shouted, a happy expression on her face. "Perfect timing!" She called out. As the Shaman nearby her had cast a spell on her to ease whatever trouble she may face, had felt an opportunity to win this fight, now that the two of them had begun to work together. At least, that was the plan...

Hope looked back at the enemy, whose hate she wholly held, only to see a massive hand swiping at her again. She didn't have enough room to actually dodge this attack, though she tried to blunt the damage a bit with her spear. The strike was so powerful that it had not only sent Hope flying backward a massive distance, into a wall, but it also snapped the spear in her hands. Hope hit the wall with incredible force, knocking the wind out of her almost immediately. As her body fell almost lifelessly to the ground, she managed to break her fall somehow with her shoulder, rolling onto her side. Panting after such a powerful attack, she started to look around. People were still in the plaza, which she needed to protect. It was her job as a soldier to protect the people, so she would do what she could.

The shattered remains of her spear lay on the ground just a little ways nearby, which she struggled to grab. Standing up eventually, she started to run frantically at them, as the monster seemed to be preoccupied with something else for the time being. She didn't know what, but she needed to do something to end this. At least buy more time, so other people didn't have to die. Picking up the point of the spear, Hope ran over to the monster again, and leaped into the air. Letting out a war cry, she attempted to stab into the monster.

The monster saw this, and reacted. Forming a blade with the hornets it was comprised of, it moved to stab directly into her stomach region. Without any way to dodge, Hope's abdomen had been pierced suddenly, and her face showed true terror for just a moment. Some inaudible noises began to escape from her mouth, until her body seemed to have given up. Her arms flew down to her sides, dropping the piece of the weapon she had grabbed. The hornets retracted, and her body fell once again, landing hard on the ground. She didn't even have a chance to fight and kill this monster. "N...No..." She muttered silently, unable to even move herself. Her eyelids grew heavy, slowly closing on her. "This... can't..." Her voice faded slowly, and her eyes closed. Her spirit began to lift out and away from her...

Sage’s timing was right on the first time as it blocked some of the damage of the swarm’s attack. When the swarm noticed her, part of them attacked her as well, but her Barrier made the swarm bounce backwards, and she did as well. Once she was able to steady herself, she looked around to try to find Hope. She had just been smashed against a wall. “<Prayer of Recovery>!” Sage called out, healing Hope the best she could. Hope, picking up her destroyed spear, ran right at the swarm. “<Damage Interception>!” Sage called out again, doing her best to protect her friend. However, it seemed to do nothing as the barrier was destroyed instantly. Sage’s heart stopped as she saw Hope skewered by the swarm’s blade. As Hope’s body fell to the ground, Sage froze. “This can’t… this can’t be happening…” Sage tried to pull herself together just as the swarm turned to her next. “Fire!” she heard someone call, and the swarm was bombarded by arrows. The guard had arrived. The swarm turned to where the 4th Guard came from and focused its attention on them. “I’m sorry, Hope,” Sage whispered as she ran towards the 4th Guard. She was still a healer, and she had to do whatever she could. “<Compounding Barrier>!” she called out on the officer that began to grab the swarm’s attention. “<Barrier of Purity>!” she then placed a barrier on everyone nearby. However, her vision began to become foggy as she was using up too much mana. She shook her head, clearing her vision. However, she had cleared her vision only to see the swarm go straight for her. As she fell to the ground, the only thing that came to mind was that she never said goodbye to her family.
