3RD POV




     Lyra: - Magical sound art: Explosive climax!

     Airos: - Magical wind art: Swirling wind!!

     Ronan: - Magical beast art: Circulatory slashes!!

A powerful vortex of wind surged forward, carrying with it golden music notes and streaks of cyan energy. The three powers intertwined, tearing through the ranks of dark mages and nightmares alike.

     Lyra: - Alright! We got this, you guys!

     Airos: - Don't lose focus, Lyra. There are still too many of them.

Ronan lunged at an incoming nightmare, tearing into its neck.

     Ronan: - That's not really an issue, is it? This is the second time this month we've been surrounded like this.

     Lyra: - Third, actually. For me, it's the third time.

She said it cheerfully, firing another sonic blast.

     Lyra: - First was the Tree-Troopers and the bandits, second was the criminals and enemy spies, and now... dark mages and nightmares!

     Chrissie: - EXCUSE ME?!

Lyra turned, blinking innocently, only to see Chrissie staring at her, horrified, completely ignoring the flailing nightmare she still had skewered on her spear.

     Lyra: - I.... uh... oops?

     Chrissie: - Oops?! That's all you have to say?! OOPS?!

Lyra grinned nervously.

     Lyra: - W-Well, I survived every time, sooo....it's fine?

     Airos: - Don't bother explaining. A pampered princess like her knows nothing of what real carnage looks like.

His words were cold and ruthless.

     Lyra: - Pampered....?

     Chrissie: - PRINCESS?!?! HOW DARE YOU?! You think you're some big-shot, dark butterfly?!



WHOOSH!!



A chain whipped inches away from her face, shattering multiple enemy stone golems.

     Selin: - He is a big-shot, shiny beacon. He survived hell, just like the rest of my squad.

Her words were carried across the burning battlefield. Leigong gritted his teeth in frustration and jealousy. He hated how much Selin's squad had accomplished, and felt like he and his own squad were being left in the dust. He couldn't accept that!! Being surpassed by a dark mage and her team of lunatics, misfits and manaless commoners was unacceptable!!

     Leigong: - Magical lightning art: Dancing Thunderbolts!!!

Arcs of electricity shot out on every direction.

     Leigong: - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, THUNDERING SKIES!? SHOW THEM THAT OUR SQUAD WON'T BE LEFT BEHIND!!

Shouts of agreement were heard.

     Caius: - Same for you, Singing Birds! Let your voices clear the path ahead!

Another round of "yes captain" was heard. 

     Airos: - Tch, what gives?! We've got two Celestial Chosen here! Can't they just end this fight already?!

Selin drove her fist into a nightmare's skull.
