─「エデン」─ the STELLARON had been loud ever since she set foot upon fontaine.
a hiss came from the trailblazer as the gloved hands of the CHAMPION DUELIST forced her upon her knees. golden hues narrowed as teeth gritted, hands restrained behind her back and her weapon stripped from her grip. surrounded her frame was countless of destroyed clockwork meka she had fought earlier in order to give a certain someone an opening to escape the premise. after all, she couldn't have pulled the other into this mess. a mess that she was the cause despite not knowing why. the GARDEMEKS she could outrun, however, this woman ? who was she ? she could barely get a certain distance before she was effectively pinned down. what an iron grip.
the seed of disaster inside of her was humming a little louder at that command laced with a hint of ELECTRO. something about this nation's power and energy seemed to stir the STELLARON from its slumber, and eden found herself being drawn towards the opera house as though she was following a calling. a whisper ? she didn't know. but the very moment she got close enough to THE COURT OF FONTAINE, the clockwork meka within the area started rushing at her as though they were malfunctioning. her instincts were to draw her weapon, and everything went downhill from there.
the loud screech from the meka, the way it was jumping at her as though trying to get something within, like it had found a source of power that could overcome even the energy they were consuming and running on. self-defense was all it was ! however, fontaine system certainly did not view it as such, did it ?
" i said it was a misunderstanding. " she could feel something metallic locking around her wrists from behind, head pushed downwards as she could hear the sound of footsteps approaching. this woman whom chased her down and apprehended her was one thing, but the AURA of this person who just stepped out was almost overwhelming. the whirring and humming of the stellaron was becoming LOUDER & LOUDER, she could hardly keep it down. what is with this place ? who is this person ?
─「蛍」─ the feel of the familiar air being inhaled into her lungs told her she had entered the city of knowledge once more. the air was whipping past her very frame as the OUTLANDER dashed through the people of sumeru, having departed from the place itself not too long ago yet finding an urgent reason to come back. with how fast she was moving, the color gold and white blurred as she zipped past any familiar faces she encountered on the street. there was only one person she was searching for.
how long did she take to come back here ? did the trailblazer manage to escape ? no, she didn't think so. with how many gardemeks were chasing her, she knew they would catch up to her sooner or later. her breathing was uneven as she slammed the door to the grand sage's office open in full force.
" fontaine — " she panted, hand gripping the edge of the door as gold met with EMERALD. the urgency in both her voice and expression would've told the scribe just how dire the situation is. lumine took another deep intake of breath, steadying herself and thoughts to word things proper. " — we need to get to fontaine, now. they've got eden. "
