The Knight of Space was currently on duty to search the new and future members of her group, and quite frankly she was both scared and worried as heck.
This place was nothing like her own planet, quite the opposite perhaps; back there she had been surrounded by bright rainbows, sand and those giant but pretty shards of glass; with those adorable pink salamanders, and all the frogs!
But this place was dark, filled with tall trees and plants she had never seen before and blocked whatever light Skaia could provide. It was also humid and eerily empty…
Her hand held tightly on her weapon.
Suddenly one of her friends is pestering her, she should know better than to distract herself when there are possible enemies lurking around, but at this moment she welcomes the distraction to ease her nerves.

RA: yoooo eifi did you find someone yet?
VF: Not a living thing, this place is desert…
VF: Dark as fuck too
RA: kazuiro wanted me to tell you that astra woke up
VF: She did?! That’s great!
VF: How is she?
RA: still needs some rest
RA: though her wounds are better
RA: she asked about you
RA: she’s uh… worried that you went alone
VF: Tell her it’s fine
RA: sorry…
VF: No, really Lia, it’s fine
VF: Kazuiro needs to concentrate his powers here, and you need to support him
VF: Besides, you’re also guarding our planets and the frog
VF: And I’m used to traveling across paradox space :3
RA: mmmm
VF: Shit, I heard something brb
RA: ?!

Eifi frowns and fixes her eyes in the rustling grass near her, muscles tensing and ready to attack. Suddenly a couple of basilisks jump at her, she lets out a startled yell and jumps back by inertia, but quickly focus and whips around her arm, the long rod breaks into chained sections that curl around the basilisks, the small ‘fang’ at the tip holds secure onto another part of the chain after surrounding them.
Feet skidding at the ground, the girl takes an impulse and jumps, a smirk in her face as she carelessly waves her free hand, creating a black and neon green portal in front of her, with her flashstep ability she quickly appears and disappears multiple times, from the left, the right, above; leaving a trail of chain behind her until a whole net is made, capturing the beasts.
With a simple pull the chain constricts them, and with a flash of light they disappear, leaving behind a generous amount of grist.
The Knight recalls her weapon to its original form and stares at the reward pieces in the ground, she recognizes only a couple of them and wonders if she can even pick them all up.
There’s a hiss behind her and when she turns around ready to attack there’s a third basilisk practically on top of her, Eifi grits her teeth and pushes the rod forward to block but the creature drops to the ground wounded. She only has time to see several bullet holes in the basilisk’s back before it disappears and grist rains once more.
Growing anxious she keeps her offensive stance and focus her sight and hearing o the surroundings, she didn’t hear the bullet shots, was she too dazed at the moment? But who would help defend her?
Unless…
“Ah…are you ok?”
She turned sharply to the voice and saw a boy around her age, green hair held back with a headband, an outfit similar to her own but in red shades instead of black, he held two small Berettas in his hands.
A Knight, a Knight of Time.
But most importantly…
“M-Mom?” The boy stuttered, she was… his mom, she had to be; her hair, her strife specibus, heck, even her clothes! She looked exactly like how he had seen her in the cloud mirages. She was really here, alive! But he suddenly felt so panicked, so nervous, his legs didn’t answer, his hands trembled.
“Hi dad” She smiled weakly, the chuckled and shook her head “No, hi… Stanley”
