Something is happening. It’s disturbing magic everywhere, the sheer amount of power being drawn upon in one place; it brings even Nikkai out of her shell and she follows the disturbances across the burning Taigan forest to the edge of Nerine, where two of the others who had returned with her from the Beyond are standing around at the edge of an invisible magic barrier, burning away at it. She’s not a skilled magic user, though she’s been practicing after the overpowered fiasco that was her last attempt, so it takes her a moment to look into the past and present and brush the minds of those present until she understands what is happening.
The waste of life here disgusts her, and she wants to know who send these…babies…into such meaningless chaos. She’s standing there considering her options when Brennen walks up, and eyes the bay stallion with curiosity – this man has been protecting her descendants for decades, but she has not had the opportunity to speak to him. He offers his allegiance to the other two magicians, and as he is speaking, he is thinking of the Pampas; with her loose control of magic she is still partially viewing the future, so Nikkai can see when he is about to simply drop out exhaustion. Instead of allowing him to fall on his face in front of @[Straia] and @[Anaxarete] (he is the type to be extremely embarrassed by that, and she owes him for protecting her grandchildren), she whisks him away to the cushioned winter grasses of her Pampas.
For a moment, Nikkai sees double – the two women in front of her, and the bay stallion passed out in the Pampas. Blinking away the Pampas, she looks directly at Straia and Ana. “If your plan is to bring back lost lands,” she says quietly, thinking of her beloved Waterfall, “I stand with you.” They share other things as well – Nikkai is a little older than Straia, relatively, but they are more of an age than most of those surrounding them. And, they have all come back to the living from the thinning of the veil. They had been used for some purpose here, and perhaps it’s time for them to turn the tides their way. Her brown eyes flicker in distaste to the chaos of Nerine. “What do you want to do about….this.”
Honestly. Children killing children. Who is behind this madness?
