"Don't act like you guys din't have this coming, you and your friends don't care about the world, you just wanted to fill it up demons not caring how many people would pay the price for your wish." Mirai said, with no hint of sympathy for Deborah.

"...Heh, I'm sorry, don't think of it like that." Deborah said, still smiling. "Ignore me for a second, and look at the big picture.
The king's going to die, and hell, we were poisoning him anyway." She let out a actual, sincere laugh. "I sure don't care if that old bastard dies, but it's not going to be just him, it's going to be mothers and fathers, and someone somewhere is going to survive, going to grow up tormented by memories of that night and use that as the reason they need to rally up likeminded people to attack the guys who killed everyone, everyone they held dear.
It's like Damballa, if I know my humans, he's become a martyr to the Colorado kingdom at this point, and someone's going to cite his revenge as a reason to kill you." She told him. "And then, when someone does finally manage to kill you, someone else will attack them in your name."
Isa paused, almost backing up. All of the gathered up auras surrounding the two of them had frozen in place, if only for a moment.

"...I don't want anyone to kill someone over me. I din't even want to fight anyone to begin, even from the beginning with that Blasco guy, I only fought him because he kept attacking me and I was left with no choice but to protect myself, do you think I want to fight everyone, kill them and motivate more to go after me? I only do this because I'm out of options, my only option is just fighting...and I'm sick of it, I'm sick of seeing many people die for stupid reasons, I'm sick of going after element and element and have to fight for them, I'm sick of people being angry and stubborn because something bad happened in their life and can't move forward because of it, I'm just sick of everything at this point, I have been in this place for 5 days and I can't stomach what all of you are doing at this point, why did this war even have to happen in the first place!?" Mirai asked, he sounded angry but not at Deborah.

Deborah looked at him, completely straight-laced. "...5 days is bad, huh? Most people you'll see have been here for way longer than that, so much longer that 5 days is nothing. Accept reality. Nobody actually wants to fight other people, but they don't see any other option. That's why they come up with reasons to justify it. Anything to make themselves look like the good guy and anyone they're fighting look like the bad guy.
It was nice, wasn't it? Killing a villain? Didn't you feel good, knowing you stopped my evil plan? Now the demons aren't going to swarm the planet, killing everyone in sight."
"I-... What are you saying?" Isa asked, "No! You're just confusing us!"
Deborah's grip on Isa's neck tightened. Her eyes weren't glowing anymore. "Tell me... If Aera, fuck, that hurts kid... do you think, without demons, people would change? Would Micaela not still have been after your head, without all of those deals she made? Would Damballa, or Samuel, or whoever be nicer people?" She let out another, more broken laugh. "They wouldn't! Would they? Y-You're not going to be able to stop anything, by targeting them!"

THe owl, which was still there, looked at Isa.
Isa might notice its eyes were glowing white, as if waiting for a signal.
until then, it merely watched until it was needed.

"...I know. I only said that stuff about killing demons because you made me mad in that carriage when I was still frustrated about what happened with the Kraven's. It's like you wanted me to hate your plan from the start instead of trying to find ways to convince me that it's the right thing to do." Mirai said.

Isa paused for a moment, acknowledging the owl but shaking her head before looking at Deborah. "Why didn't you say all of this before I stabbed you!?"
"Because I was going to kill you and take your elements sooner or later." Deborah said. "And, in case you forgot, last time we met you disguised yourself as someone I knew and drugged me.
Now... I'm not going to apologise for what I'm going to do next, because I'm not going to be sorry about it."
"Huh?" Isa blinked.
Deborah pressed her fingernails right into Isa's neck and started sucking all of those elements back out of her, into herself. Isa, in response, started trying to pull the elements back into herself.
The two were both doing this at roughly the same speed, aura flying into Isa's heart and then back out through Deborah's arm into her throat and towards Deborah's wound through the sword stabbed into her back into Isa in a circle. Deborah bit down on her lip and Isa closed her eyes, digging her feet into the ground as though that would do anything.
"Hey, no, stop that!" Isa called out, Deborah said nothing.

Mirai ran up to Isa, grabbing her by her shoulder and tried to pull her away from Deborah before looking at the owl.
"HELP!" Mirai yelled.

Deborah dug her other hand into Isa's shoulder, even as Mirai tried to pull Isa away, Deborah simply got pulled along too.
"Help!" Isa called out, "D-Don't let her-!"
Sage was simply balled up in the far corner of the balcony, looking between the three of them and the owl with wide, helpless eyes.

The owl let out a screeh and immediately flew, as it did a sphere appeared around it, and once that sphere shattered, it was one of Carvus's knights, a man wearing the same armor as before.
Still flying through the air, he flew right over Isa and grabbed Deborah by the neck and was definitely going with enough force to force her off of Isa and potentially slam her onto the ground.

It managed to do so, ripping Deborah away with enough force not just to force her off of Isa, but also to pull her off the sword she was impaled on- sending Isa, the sword and Mirai flying back into the room.
The aura's, combined and jumbled apart split into two, one half settling around Deborah's body as she spluttered, reaching for the man who had slammed her into the ground and the other flying into Isa.
Deborah coughed up some more strange slime, eyes glowing purple if only for a moment... before she went limp, that giant tear all the way along her torso did not look healthy.
"I-I-..." Sage stammered, for just a second before he ran over to Isa and Mirai, "You two, are you alright!?" He asked.
Isa blinked, her eyes glowing for just a moment as she looked back up at him. "I-I'm not dead, if that's what you mean..." She looked down at her hands and experimentally clicked her fingers on both hands. A couple of crystals appeared in one, and a small flower appeared in the other. "I-... everything's all jumbled, though." She said, "I don't think... I can't sense things as well as I could just now."
She then looked to the knight. "...Thank you, as well." She said.

Mirai continued to stare at Deborah's body, he was frozen as a statue.

The knight let go of Deborahs neck upon noticeing she went limp, and he got back up to his feet.
He looked at isa and nodded. "Your welcome, though we probably should have done something sooner. Maybe relying on a whistle isnt the best of ideas.
Names Horus." Horus said, he then looked at Mirai
"She isnt dead, but wounded, severely, and wont survive without treatment" Horus said

"...S-She was coughing up some weird slime out of her mouth...and I saw that weird stuff coming out of you too." Mirai said, referring to Isa.
He turned around to face her.
"Why?" Mirai asked.

Isa looked down at Deborah.
It was slow, but blood was pooling out from the large wound the blonde woman got from being impaled on a sword. Prince Balanque's body was slowly being covered up by wisps of darkness, but she didn't care about that.
Sage was also there.
"...I don't know." Isa said. "I think... she absorbed it from me, when she absorbed some of my elements earlier. I don't...
I don't know why she'd have that stuff too..."
