Resolution

[Mal Nova]

Red.

It was a color that symbolized and screamed out for alertness. Be it derived in the form of 'seeing red', which meant that a person had snapped and was in angry state; Or perhaps the color of many of the sapein races blood after it is spilled and connects with the oxidized nature of the elements. It also was a sign of exit.

And an Exit it had been, as the time neared and Maleficus had to get them all off the ship. He pulled out the final portal capsule and released it...

Nova looked down from a hill. Not only him, but everyone else was tired and out of breath. Nova had never felt so weak, but it seemed that it was Tamsin, closest to him that was taking it the hardest. her close were soaked and she was nearly in tears. Maleficus looked back and it was Retane and Enroshia that met him. Enroshia had been the one to transport them all to safety. His cloth was red and after using a green portal and having Retane appear it was nearly obvious. Mal Nova had wondered if it was a self destruct portal.

"I can't create to many portals without burning energy", The white haired mystic spoke as the son of Retane grasped his neck, but he never flinched, "So it had to tire you out. Don't you think Retane would have been a lot stronger then he was if it wasn't so taxing?"

Nova looked to Retane who had straightened himself and realized that it could have been most taxing on him.

"She's sick and dying you fucking moron! It's her god damned soul that's being attacked more then anything. Don't you get it? The signs of her purest dedication and determination were there for you! You're just to fucking stupid! I never should have never saved your fucking life back then!" Enroshia went for his blade, but a hand slightly faster then his or more anticipating, caught it. Enro looked down not to find Retane's, but Desoin's. Retane stood close between the two, but he said nothing. Enroshia ripped himself from the Jade Fiend's grip who had been taken aback by those words.

A portal opened before anyone could speak and Enroshia was gone.

"He's actually wore out." Desoin and Nova looked to Retane, "He taxed himself greatly to get me here along with himself. He doesn't create the portals with the exception of moving himself. Add that with making Three portals keys and getting everyone to safety. It's wore him out. And not many want to be seen tired."

Desoin looked puzzled for a moment but nodded, "He's faster then me."

The Rogue turned his attention away, knowing he was to tired to argue and could only do what he should have always been doing, He scooped Tamsin up, though she tried to argue, and materialized his own cloak. atop of her. She muttered something in the end as Nova and all but Desoin, Talysyn, and Retane remained. Talysyn would have went but the skill wasn't in her capabilities.

The Mystic and Namek looked on after them. "Will she be ok?", Came the fiery young lass.

Retane didn't move as he looked on, after the pain he knew he had caused. Some where deep down inside he wanted to explode, but he knew he had to watch it all over again.

Desoin turned to the girl and a tear that seemed to separate itself from the raindrops, told her all she could ever know.

Talysyn fell to her knees and wept.
