Time heals all wounds or so they say.
Druig felt at peace with his choice, eventually. The anger turned numb and he created a safe space for those that followed. It was only after a human girl stumbled upon the secret society after escaping a broken...

The deviant took no time in taking down Ikaris as it made its way towards the fight, the side of the cliff cracking with the continuation of the emergence. Gabriella felt the sounds around her muffle as she slowly lifts herself up from the beach, her movement slow. Despite everything happening before her and the island being destroyed from within, Gabriella felt her mind clouded with the fact Druig was gone. Sitting upright with her eyes focusing on Makkari running towards the deviant, Gabriella places her hands into the sand for support as she tries to watch the events happening before her.
Trying to follow what Makkari was planning on doing as Thena joins her, Gabriella watches the best she can as a cyclone of dirt surrounds the deviant. Grabbing fists full of sand as she notices the deviant's movement slow, Gabriella leans forward gasping with little noise. Watching the tall creature lift his fist and pummel the ground, Ikaris finds his footing as both Thena and Makkari are thrown back. Turning her gaze from Thena who had managed to get up from the impact, Gabriella crawls forward slightly as she notices Makkari slowly wincing against the ground.
Following the deviant walk towards Makkari as its tentacles pierce her, Gabriella can't help but to push herself forward before stopping suddenly with the creature being blasted away and into a nearby cave. Pulling herself to her feet with her body wavering as she places a hand to her head to attempt to calm it, Gabriella frowns as she watches Thena twirl a gold sword in her hand before disappearing into the cave. Once Gabriella makes her way to Makkari's side as she now stands gripping where she was hurt, Gabriella gently offers her a shoulder for support. Feeling Makkari nudge her softly as she casts her eye over to Ikaris who was viewing the scene on the beach, Gabriella finds her pain turn to anger.
"Where's Sersi?" Ikaris questions as Phastos moves himself between Makkari and Gabriella to protect them the best he could, Ikaris pressing forward slightly as he looks past them.
"You always did underestimate her," Phastos replies coldly as Ikaris's jaw tenses before he looks towards the volcano and launches into the sky.
"Oh, no you don't."
Noticing Phastos take a step forward, Gabriella follows slowly as she watches his hands spinning a large rope-like golden beam towards Ikaris. Wrapping it tightly around his body Phastos pulls the man back towards the ground, a grin appearing on his face as Ikaris slams into the sand.
"I don't know about you, but this is really satisfying. Seeing you fall, it's almost poetic," Phastos calls out mockingly through grunts of frustration from Ikaris as he creates another beam of energy to keep the man close to the ground.
"Let me go Phastos, I can't let her do this!" Ikaris exclaims angrily as Phastos pushes his power further to force Ikaris down even closer.
"I don't think so. I've been wanting to clip your wings for a long time, Ikaris!" Phastos responds as Gabriella helps Makkari move a little closer, her eyes lingering on Ikaris who was struggling against the sand, "it must be so sad, to feel so weak."
