adrenaline runs through her veins, the blood pumping loudly behind her ears reminding her that she was alive. a level seven, god, has that been seen before? sab couldn't remember but she didn't really keep track of those things, that was for the guilds to study. electricity flowed from her finger tips down to the tip of her sword blade as she squared up to a monster. "you're an ugly mother fucker, aren't you," she said, taunting something that was twice as big as she was and probably twice as strong. the monster screeched before a club came down at her, she moved but not quite quick enough, taking some of the force against her hip. "a strong mother fucker, too," she muttered as she stumbled back to her feet. the electricity running through her blade flickered slightly, she was going to need to find an enhancer but she needed to ger away from this fucker first. sab looked around for help, any help. she probably should have thought this through first before charging at the big ass monster, but she never did well at thinking first before reacting. "hey!" she called out to someone near by, "can i get a hand over here?"
she’s always been relentless on the battlefield. quick to think, quick to act. it never takes her much to summon the energy coursing through her veins and fight. yet now, in front of the largest portal she’s ever seen so far, she feels exhausted. they’ve been recharged twice already, and they can feel how their magic is running out again. it makes them feel frustrated, angry—they’ve never tired themself like this before, and they refuse to believe these creatures are stronger than them. it’s maybe this feeling that makes her sloppy while she runs around a monster twice her size, or maybe the need to prove herself right, but whatever it is, she fails to avoid the attack, and a sharp pain in her left side leaves her breathless. “ fucking hell . . . ” they exclaim quietly, and they lose their air once more at the sight of the same monster above them, fist in the air, ready to end them with a single blow.
ten years and they think that they would have seen it all, but standing in front of the largest portal they have ever seen, monsters pouring out and attacking, it's almost like that first time all over again. there is always this brief moment of panic when they hear that alarm, the same anxiety they always feel when they know they're going back out there, back to the battlefield. thankfully, they can usually push it away. though, usually, they aren't standing in front of a level seven portal. through the chaos of it all, they do what they can, throwing up shields and sending out spells to help everyone around them. they watch as a huge monster nearby go in for the attack. their hands move in a blur, something that has become second nature, they throw up a shield in front of rory. hands raised in front of them, their magic takes the force of the monster's fist before they flick their wrists and send the force outward to push the thing away. "you okay?" they call out, sparing a quick glance over their shoulder before focusing back on the monster. "need to get to a healer or anything? i can make a path."

before the portals opened, sab had the most normal, boring life. she was a middle child of two parents who divorced when she was a teenager. she was good at school but nothing marvelous. when the portals opened, she was talking a break from university and honestly was happy to not have to go back
if there was anyone in her family that would have woken up to a new found power, it should have been her older sister, avery. she was the smart and successful one, the one with a good head on her shoulders. instead it was sabrina, the kind of lazy, reckless twenty year old who was not known for thinking things through
she was on a trip with her younger brother, james, when the portals opened, traveling through europe before going home for the holidays. everything went to hell in those first days and she had no idea what was going on, just like everything else. she lost her brother and has never been able to forgive herself for not being able to protect him
