All was silent

All was silent. So silent that a pin would have been heard, had one fallen. The sorry inhabitants of the dank cavern had melted away, as if they had become one with the walls. Only the stench of putrid humanity that perfumed the air, the one memory of their earlier presence.

Her electromagnetic field was holding, protecting her against renewed attacks, only none came. As the shielding aspect of the nano-bracelet could only function for up to five minutes, she was running out of time and needed a way out of here. More guards had been called in, heavily armed, capable looking, muscled no nonsense guards.

Outnumbered, surrounded with more coming in, Jaiya knew she would not come out of this fight as well as she had the first one. Which meant she had to do the one thing she could not afford.

After twenty-seven years of hiding her abilities, Jaiya had been stupid enough to drive herself into a corner where she either died or exposed herself. There was no choice though, the world was clueless to it, but as the last of her kind, it needed her more than she was willing to let anyone know.

With her mind made up, she closed her eyes to reach out to nature, like she had been taught. It was an acknowledgement of her part in it, an inclusion that expanded the bounds of who she was to encompass all that was nature, earthy.

When she reached out, the energy always rushed to her, as if eager to embrace. Continually, she had to be careful whenever she reached for it, as it yearned to wholly claim her, as if she were a lost part that needed to be brought back. Without failing, she resisted.
