Vanguard (Afina)

[Ebiris]

The Sun, as in the thing way way way high up beyond the sky?

'I'm on my way out, as soon as I get a visual I'll intercept,' she answers tersely, continuing in a rush since once she's outside she'll probably see them well enough to target.

[Anastasia]

You reach outside. As you do, you get a message. 'Afina,' Tepen says, 'Sylica has sent a request for help. The sun up there is not the sun, but an angel with power over the sun. Her name is Latha and she is nearly defenseless shining light on all of Benfal. They request a squad to go up and drive off or slay Semyaza's spawn.'

[Ebiris]

Can I see the titans from here? How far are they and how long does it look like it'll take them to reach the sun?

[Anastasia]

Not from here right now, no.

[Ebiris]

'Can't see the twins from my vantage, heading directly to Latha and will intercept,' she sends curtly to Tepen.

"Moonlight, you're in command till I get back. Dana, hounds, with me. Move it!" she barks cutely, opening a gate to the astral plane and flying through, and immediately opening another one back to Benfal next to the fake sun so they can get on the scene in the least time possible. Be better if she could just teleport, but everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and this workaround serves even if it's inefficient.

"All fucking right," Dana cracks her knuckles as she follows with you.

The silence of the AStral is oppressive as you try and open a gate to the sun. Unfortunately, nothing happens.

[Ebiris]

Afina isn't coarse by nature but she's very tempted to swear now. 'Tepen, I can't open a gate to Latha's location. Is the interdiction on our side, and how far does it reach if you know?'

[Anastasia]

'Our side,' Tepen sends to you, 'Otherwise devils would teleport directly to Latha. They're currently about 4000 feet up, just outside of the anti teleportation zone and rising.'

[Ebiris]

Afina opens a gate to directly below the fake sun and 4000 feet above the ground!

You, Dana and the wolves are going into a new thread. This one is locked.
