The crystal hovering over the stage pulsed briefly, its sickly color shuddering. Asgard? No, her duty was to her fellow musicians, to protect them from enemies like these.
Another sick, shuddering pulse. Fellow musicians, like Rei... no. Her duty was to protect Blanche, to do his bidding. Even though.... even though he had hurt her. Hurt Greg. Hurt a number of people. Even though he was using her. Even though he had started this battle in the first place --!
The spear in her hand shattered into ethereal energy, a violent discharge that recoiled into her and sent her backwards and down. She hit the ground with her legs beneath her, though the force of it cracked the stage around her feet and left her, for the moment, unable to rise.
