[Anastasia]

Yet you endure it, whatever it is. It rips at you, grasps at you - but in the end you endure. You did it! The eternal darkness that cloaked your army is no more, the spirits below fading away in a haze of sunfire.

[Ebiris]

'Darkness dispelled for real this time,' Afina sends into the telepathic command circuit. 'Returning to Aurora, organise a fresh rally to take over guarding the Throne so the current defenders can be relieved.'

They definitely need to return to Aurora now, for their shattered morale if nothing else.

[Anastasia]

You return. Elena's waiting for you, "Good work," she praises, "How are you holding up  now?"

[Ebiris]

"Drained but still capable. Won't be able to maintain this tempo though - any of our dispel specialists could've handled that far more cleanly," Afina says, shaking her head before she looks Dana's way. "Dana, take charge of the group reinforcing the Throne. The current defenders were shattered by that push, they won't be able to sustain another. Take over so they can come back to rest and reorganise."

[Anastasia]

"Heh, I'm fuckin' on it," Dana agrees, hurrying off.

As you talk people come and go - including Moore, fluttering back in.

"Do you need to rest, sleep, eat, anything like that?" Elena inquires.

[Ebiris]

Afina shakes her head to that enquiry. Eight hours to restore her spells would be nice but at their current tempo she doesn't expect to see one hour to even get her spells back to normal. Hopefully the next attack will be one she can solve via stabbing. "I'm fine for now," she answers, making way for the bedraggled survivors that formerly guarded the Throne to filter in.

'Vivantha, move Aurora closer to the Throne so we can respond more quickly if that happens again.'

[Nephrite]

"Afina, good job with that." Moore says in passing with a nod to her.

For now he's just going to go to his room to take a small nap -- he probably won't get much out of it but there's no reason not to at least try and rest a little bit.

[Ebiris]

"You too," Afina says to Moore, looking at the shell-shocked veterans of that battle. "Without your presence we'd have lost far more."

[Yuthirin]

'Afina, Moore, I'm sending Calleigh to you with the book. We are going to deal with what claims to be Levistus ourselves.' Tryll sends to the others.

[Nephrite]

'Tryll, if you're going to deal with something as powerful as that, you may be the one who needs Hope, not us.' Moore responds. 'But I leave that decision up to you.'

[Yuthirin]

'It would not open for us here when you called for it. I can recall Calleigh though, if you recommend.'

[Nephrite]

'I think that's because you didn't need it down there. You only need hope when things look the bleakest -- so save it for you all. We have more resources available to us up here -- at least, that's what my opinion is.' Moore answers.

[Anastasia]

Soldiers go past - wounded and dazed, but alive. As you see them, stumbling and staggering in?

"You both did good," Elena says, "I feel like we can win if we stopped something that powerful."

[Nephrite]

"I plan on focusing more on healing arts going forward -- or at least something more powerful to stymie the undead. If I'd had something strong enough to hold them off for a while..." He shakes his head. "There's no point in despairing about it now. We came out of it all right, but what prevents Lixer from just doing the same thing a second time? I wonder how much effort that even took for someone like him..."
