From which the darkness flowed.
A girl- clearly no older than 16- drifted overhead. Surrounding her was an aura of darkness. The darkness swirled, and formed into a shape some might call humanoid. A maniac look was on the girl's face, as she swung her arms. The black figure followed suit, swinging its massive claws at insects, as they swarmed over it, firing their simplistic magic towards it.
This was a good thing... Midnara's powers were aligned with negative emotion...
So it was good she was gone... but she couldn't think of it that way.
She had two armies to defeat on her own now, so Midnara couldn't be optimistic. Instead, she screamed.
"GODDAMMIT AMETHYST! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"[/background:1s4k2mi5]

A girl walked through the streets of BaTtLEtroPOLis, no older than 16. Her black hair was done up in pigtails. She wore a dull gray school uniform, and a clearly unhappy expression.
***
Amethyst did her best to appear casual, as she stepped over what had been the door. Despite its size, the store wasn't exactly crowded, three or four people had been browsing casually. Now their attention was focused on the door. A consequence of this was a series of stares directed towards Amethyst's general direction.
She ignored them, and quickly began to search the store. The shelves were arranged in a rather strange manner, forming almost a maze-like structure. Something else about it struck Amethyst as vaguely familiar, but as she couldn't isolate what exactly, she didn't think about it.
It was about this time Amethyst received Aeon's message. Doing her best to make the communications crystal look like some weird cell phone, she held it up.
"Hello? Amethyst? Do you read me?"
"I do Aeon. What have you found?"
"Well, it's weird. But there was a doctor at the hospital who looked just like that priestess from the earlier rounds. She even said her name was 'Amelia.'"
Amethyst took a moment to think about this.
"Interesting. Was there anything else interesting about her?"
"Actually yeah, she said she had a nephew named 'Nathan' who was 'a bit of a devil'"
Amethyst paused again. Definitely strange. Subconsciously she devised a few different explanations, but decided not to share them with Aeon just yet, especially with the Conspiracy Theorist- what was his name anyway?- listening in.
"Definitely interesting. At any rate, I have located Eximo, but I have severe doubts that I will be able to control his actions. If nothing else however, he seems to have wandered into a relatively unpopulated store. I would recommend you search for the city for any further anomalies."
Amethyst replaced the crystal in her pocket, and resumed the search for Eximo.
