(Scorn/S9/Imperia/Sun)   Aurum'sbreath draws sharply at the sounds of Tirush's roar. She turns and faces the direction of the sound, her worried eyes straining to see what is happening in the distance. Her eyes move up and widen as she puts a hand over her mouth and points.

"Oh...oh m-my..."

The sky begins to glow and churn, even as she speaks.

A distance away, Regina bolts around a corner, but her instincts make her skid to a stop. She looks around fervently before spotting the trio, then, relieved at finding Aurum, runs up to them. She is not panting when she reaches them, but her voice is clipped with urgency.

"Aurum honey," she grabs her shoulders. "We've got to go.  Come on.  We're finding your father.  Come on, Sun-Mi, you too.  Kioshi, follow behind, and make sure that nobody tries to lick a fight with us again.  I'm in no mood for it." Not waiting for a reply, she grabs Sun-Mi's hand and begins pulling her and Aurum towards the clinic at high speed.

"Your father is with Lilrava at the clinic.  She suffered a little accident earlier, and he's taking care of her," Regina says, her words bouncing with their frenzied pace. "But the fight has gotten extremely dangerous.  Armata has begun trying to kill his opponents."

Her face clouds with anger, her voice dropping at mention of the downward turn of events. It wasn't long ago that her husband joined in the effort to stop the Vampire Lord, and was successful. It was supposed to mean that Armata was reformed  now, that he was lifting up his people and helping them find a better place in the world. Didn't it? Why wouldn't it?

Because he thought nothing of destroying thousands of lives before, what was the consequence of destroying thousands more? Nothing. He would lose nothing but gain his revenge, waiting for the perfect opportunity to lure everyone who opposed him into a single place, some event that would easily allow him to display his power and nobody would think anything of it.

Something like a tournament.

She says nothing as she pulls the girls along. Her grip on their hands tightens, her frown turning into gritted teeth. She has to get them to safety first. She has to. Her thoughts turn at such a high speed, she never notices the horror that comes over Aurum's face.
