Breath of Fire Arc

[Anonymous]

Disa's lips turned downwards in a faint, disapproving frown. "Alright, I'll have to find Tokyo myself, then."

Proving that just waking up from a faint didn't lend itself to intelligent decisions, she began to force herself up.

That's when a fresh wave of nausea assaulted all of her senses, slamming into the weak woman mercilessly.

"I...woah..lookitalldabirdies." Followed by Disa's head making a curious little thud noise.

Kinda like the sound two coconuts make when hit together.

How bizarre.

[Dracos]

The wise woman gently, but firmly, pushed Disa back down.  "You are very sick.  You will need to rest to recover your strength.  Please, stay down."

Disa's breath came out in ragged gasps as she limply lay down.  Turning towards the woman that had been taking care of her, she halting continued.

"I..." She nervously licked her dry lips. "I have to meet the local divinity, I'm as good as dead if I don't."

Whimpering in fear, she quietly added.

"Mana is my lifeforce, and I can feel it draining out of me. Please, please help me get to the divinity!" She cried out in desperation, holding the woman's hands in a death grip.

Her body was shaking in sheer terror at this point.

Turning the wise woman quickly barked orders to the few worried menfolk nearby.  "She asks the blessing of the dragon god.  Hurry, let us take her to the temple!"

Two men picked up the pallet using the wood handles on the sides.  Swiftly they carried her outside and towards the temple.  The old woman following at a more sedate pace behind them, her cane sinking softly into the sand as she hobbled.

May's turn now

Hotaru sighed, trying to relax her mind and feel what was around her. Her eyes closed as she envisioned the temple from what she could hear, feel, sense.

And she tried to believe, to believe that the dragon god existed and would help them, for her friend's sake.

[Dracos]

A tiny fluctuation suddenly occured in the shrine.

[Asrana]

Hotaru continued to relax her mind, a soft prayer eventually forming in her mind as she listened to the wind whistle by and a murmuring from down below.

For the sake of my friends and those that I hope to help in my future, I ask your blessing.

The stone of the temple was rough and hard under her legs, making her kneeling position slightly uncomfortable. Resisting the urge to shift uncomfortably, she continued her prayer.

[Dracos]

Hotaru began to feel a warmth in the back of her mind as the fluctuations continued slowly growing in strength before her eyes.

Behind her the men carrying Disa made it to the top of the shrine, bearing the exhasted goddess on the pallet.  Behind them the slowly moving older woman struggled up the stairs.

"Argh...seems we're interrupting something." Disa whispered in a pained voice. Turning towards the men that had helped her up, she continued.

"Your God and that...girl..." Although she had to bite her tongue to keep herself from calling her a mortal. "Are in the middle of something."

Looking at the dark haired girl and the rest of her group, she idly wondered why they felt different to her senses.

She let out a hushed cry of pain, body quaking as another surge of fire ran through her system.

Disa wouldn't ruin this.

Ryder continued to stare forward at the shrine, seeing the tiny fluxuations once again appear...  Once again though, Ryder doesn't appear to be fazed, as he continues his prayer...

I ask your blessing towards my friends... here and at my home so far, far away.  Keep them protected with your neverending gaze...

[Asrana]

Hotaru almost opened her eyes as  sense of warmth grew within the vaults of her awareness. The response reinforcing her faith, she added a second prayer to the dragon god.

Please...I ask for the knowledge to help my friends and loved ones...I ask for your blessing and guidance in this. She put all her faith in that, focusing on those things that had given her that faith in the dragon god.

[Dracos]

The shrine began glowing with golden light as the eminations of the formerly smooth stone grew, a sea of waves flowing from the center.

The feeling of warmth and peace grew in the back of Hotaru's mind.  A sense of welcoming...A questioning of her.  -Who are you...-

Disa smiled a sad half smile as she felt the Divine Aura expand into the dark haired girl's own aura. It was good to see something like this, it wasn't very often a Divine Being granted blessings.

It warmed her heart to see that some still cared.

"Thank you for your assistance, kind people. But it seems we're a touch late." She whispered in a wavering voice, "I'll find another way of regaining my lost power."

She felt her body shiver uncontrollably as she broke out in a cold sheen of sweat. Quietly groaning, she managed to get out.

"Please, take me back down. We have to leave them to their devices."

[Asrana]

Hotaru's eyes cracked open, blinking at the golden light, -I am Hotaru Tomoe, also known as Sailor Saturn...- Her breath slowly hissed out, her breathing returning to a regular pace as she waited for an answer.

[Dracos]

The old woman narrowed her eyes.  The young woman was clearly more than first appeared.  She would be heeded.  They could not afford trouble.

Gesturing to the men, they carried disa back down to the village.
