Let me see what you think in the comments. I'll be watching y'all...Enjoy!

Now that Lisa could see the city as they rode up over the protective hill, her heart sank.

Billowing clouds of smoke rose high into the sky, centered around the Business District and some other small fires appearing along the wall of the city. Jennie's back stiffened at the sight of her kingdom, obvious rage rolling off of her in waves.

She pushed her mare to go faster, Lisa following closely next to her. They could see just from outside the gates that the battle was still going, Lisa reaching down to pull her sword from her side again.

Jennie glanced at her, moving to sit up straighter as she released the reigns of her horse.

"Stay close to me." Her voice dripped with a mixture of authority and rage. Lisa dared not refuse, a bolt of what she could only describe as fear rolling down her spine.

As soon as they got into the city, the main road full of both Jennie and Buck's crew, she reached out her hands to either side. With her palms facing up, Jennie literally swelled with power as she took in a deep breath. It felt like the air was buzzing, a static-like haze fogging through Lisa's head as she winced.

Anyone who wasn't a citizen of Jeju- it was easy to recognize them with their rather theatrical pirate's outfits –suddenly started to stagger and cry out in agony. Jennie's mare cantered down the street as she effortlessly drained the water from her enemy's bodies, just like she did to first mate all those months ago.

Nothing was left but husks, the water that had once been a part of them pouring through the streets. Jennie didn't even look like she was breaking a sweat, her anger and destiny as Gluttony fulling her with all the power she needed.

Lisa stared in awe, her sword resting in her lap as she watched Jennie protect her city. The smoke that rolled high into the sky seemed to lessen, the drained life force of Buck's crew putting out any flames without Jennie even having to look.

As they neared the edge of the city, just about to reach the pathway up to the castle, Her fingers started to tremble ever so slightly. She dropped her hands, taking in a deep, shaky breath.

"That was..." Lisa mumbled, staring at her girlfriend. Never had she seen such a display of pure, raw power. She didn't even need to touch the attacking enemies, simply sensing their wrongful essence and honing in one that.

Jennie looked over to Lisa, a brief look of pride flashing through her eyes.

"Come on... We need to get to the castle," she reminded, Lisa nodding in agreement as she pushed her saber back into its sheath.

"Lead the way, Captain."

Taking the lead once again, Jennie kicked her mare back into a gallop, Nichkun Buck limply flopping against his chains. Lisa followed behind, glancing down to the city that was no longer under attack.

Thankfully neither was the castle as they rode up to it. Citizens no longer were fleeing from the building, screaming bloody murder; those who'd not joined the fight down in the city were busy removing the bodies of Buck's crew.
