Elaine awoke to a loud tap at her door. She got up and opened and recognized the maid that stood in front of her as one of Azurius', "Oh, good morning? Azurius has sent you already Hm? It's getting earlier and earlier each day I swear." Elaine mock complained, raising her arms a over her head; stretching everything out.

"Yes ma'am. He sent me with a message for you to meet him in front of the Guild in 10 minutes,"The maid recited. Elaine only sighed, another mission. She knew it, it had only been five days since the last one and her body was still covered a few bruises. She hadn't mentioned it to him but she had been waking up in the middle of the night; all she could see was him dying over and over again and no matter how many times she told herself that he could never die so easily. Yet her mind was never at rest and as a result the sleepless nights piled up on her. "Right, well tell him I'll be there soon then." She smiled as the maid made her exit. She was quick to transform into her casual battle armour, maybe a bit of makeup under the eyes to hide the dark circles. She sighed, gripping the sink in her bathroom. "I can do this. Wake up Elaine. He's counting on you for this." She told her reflection, but even it wasn't convinced.

Her back began to burn, she knew this burn. It was the burn of the mark on the back of her body, she was to tired to use her magic to cover up the massive black tree like mark that spiralled down her back and down her legs. She couldn't keep it up, so she just let it show, she was sure her partner would ask questions, she'd just give him the short version. She released the sink and walked downstairs, out the front door and towards the guild, the mark on her back spreading like wildfire along her body.

She reached the guild and waited outside for her partner, finally the burning stopped and the whole mark was visible, from her shoulder blades all the way down the back of her legs. She waited for him to arrive.

Twenty minutes, that's how long he said it would take to get from here to the airship. That was enough time for a quick nap. Even though she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep she yawned and rested her head on her partner. "I know you saw it. The mark." she murmured sleepily. When sleep didn't come to her she opened her eyes and turned her back to him, moving her hair out of the way, leaving him to see the full mark. It was black and tree like, swirling with agitation, just itching to move over the rest of her body. "It was a gift. Well, she called it a gift, I call it a burden. It grows whenever I become agitated or angry. I have to keep my emotions in check or else it will one day consume my whole body; and I will no longer be myself." She sighed and shook her head, facing towards him again. "But used correctly, it gives me great power and allows me to summon my greatest weapon." She explained as the two reached the airship. They both boarded and she sat down across from him.

"So, what about this new mission?" She asked, leaning back on the comfy chair.

She felt herself being pulled in to him. She didn't argue though, she curled up on to him, he pushed her closer to him so she could hear the steady beating of his heart. She gripped his shirt and began to sob. He wasn't dead, and she could finally sleep knowing that the sound of his still beating heart was planted firmly in her mind. The mark on her back that had crept down last her shoulders began to recede back down to shoulder length. Her pulled herself closer to him as much as possible, letting her subconscious know that he wasn't leaving her any time soon.

Finally her heart slowed down from the rapid pace it had been beating all week; she took a long deep breath. Her first time sleeping in days. And the first time she did, it was dreamless, no nightmare nor any good dreams either. Just darkness and the sound of a steady thumping that filled her head.

When she awoke she was still in the same spot, still curled up, head limp against something soft and warm. A steady arm curled around her back; keeping her warm and protected. She yawned and stretched her arms far above her head, her legs way out over the couch, throwing her head with a small smile. She looked up and realized that she was still on her partner's lap, turning red she sat up and loosened the vice grip she had on his shirt. "I-I'm sorry....I didn't mean to fall asleep on you for the whole ride there...." She moved herself off of him, her body somewhat sore from sleeping strange. She then looked at her arms, over her shoulder, back of her legs. The mark hadn't grown; pushing out a sigh of relief she smiled.

"Thank you, I know you didn't have to do that, you didn't have to have me sit there all trip long, that must have been uncomfortable....." She managed.

Elaine felt bad, forcing him to sit like that for so long, she felt more of a burden then anything; she sighed and shook the though from her mind. He didn't think of her like that, she was sure of it. The job was demolition, get the man who'd been hiding out in a cave and blew up anyone who got near them. This was going to be tricky, she knew Azure could take whatever the guy threw out him, but herself she wasn't too sure. If she opted for Flame Empress Armor, she could be resistant to the attacks, if she went for her Sea Empress then she'd be able to douse the flames all together. Sea Empress it was then. She was quick to change into her armor in a flash of light, a long javelin of blue and silver at her side.

She finally for the first time this week felt well rested, she felt like she was ready and when she was she went to join Azurius at the front.

'Monster Dice' :

She gripped Azurius' shirt as a spider appeared, eyes wide, she stepped back slightly; spiders. It had to be spiders.... She groaned internally. Her dislike of the creepy crawly creatures made this job just that much more difficult. For the moment she changed up her javelin for two revolvers. Amid she was going to fight these things she was going to fight them at a distance. Not daring to get near the next one crawling towards them; she shot it and it exploded in front of them, Elaine shielding her eyes from the blast. She wanted to just get right back on the ship if spiders had anything to do with this mission, but she stayed, firmly planted next to Azurius. These people needed her, she was scared, it was true, the mark on her back swirled and twisted in reaction to her emotions.

"I hate spiders." She mumbled, releasing his shirt from her grasp and pocketing the two guns. she moved uncomfortably to the shift and burn of her mark; each day it was getting more and more restless. "Shall we keep moving?"

"Like a few mechanical bugs will keep me away from a good fight." She grinned, throwing on her best smirk, even though the mark kept creeping down her arms. Stop it. I have no time for this foolishness. She warned herself, the mark stopped moving. Good. It listens,now if it could just a stay like that. She sighed and switched out again for her javelin, it enabled her to do some pretty basic water magic, but if needed she'd switch to something stronger.


When they entered the tunnel, Azurius set off servral rounds, setting off many trick explosions, Elaine damped the fires with a quick water spell, careful not to let it spread throughout the tunnel and trap them inside. It was way to hot in the tunnel; it was also small and crowded. No doubt the perfect hiding place for a villain. She sighed and pushed some of her damp hair out of the way. "I hope this guy isn't to far into these tunnels, they're extremely hot and by the looks of it; maybe a tad unstable. They don't give off a very reassuring feeling."

She coughed as she put out the flames, "I'm fine, just a tad stunned is all. Let's keep moving forward and get this finished as quickly as possible." She told him and started to walk forward just a bit more, though she could feel Azurius' eyes on her back. She spun around, "Listen, yes it's a nuisance and yes it won't ever go away. It's like holding a gun that could kill anything but you have to save the last bullet for yourself or else it won't work." she sighed. It was a real burden and it would probably end up swallowing her anyway, but she still had a good two decades worth of fighting before she let it take over her body. "But I'm fine Az, really. It's just like having any big power." She gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and a small smile. She knew he would still worry about her, but there wasn't anything he could do about it, and he was going to have to except it. "Now let's go find this guy and get you home. I'm sure Destiny's eagerly waiting your return." She said, releasing her grip on his hand and continuing to trek forward, the further they went into the tunnel the more powerful the magic around them became, only making her more on edge and itching for her weapon.

'Damage Dice' :

She turned back around, looking at Azurius and sighed, "I think that's my fault. I told him some rather harsh news...." She walke over to him, putting one hand on the side of his face and tilting his head slightly upwards so his eyes met her's. "Listen to me. Before, I thought this was my fate, I was just going to except it and move on. But now I have something with fighting for again. Now I have a reason to keep going on, to keep fighting." She shook her head and laughed, "Azurius, I have you. And I know what I said wasn't something you wanted to hear, but I thought, because of everything that's happened as of late, that you should've known. But I never would of told you if I knew this was the outcome.

She took one of his hands in hers, interlocking their fingers, "I'm going to keep fighting. I won't ever stop. I promise."

When he pressed a kiss against her cheek she burned red. She was sad when he let go of her hand but she knew that he kept his own promise in her heart and she had to believe that he would find a way to take off the mark; a way to free her from what awaited her in the future. She watched him walk away toward the airship, she gripped her left arm tightly, "Thank you, for everything." She whispered, watching him go. She was amazed that he of all people had decided to carry this burden with her. She had never had someone to this for her, no one who had put her self worth above her own.

she mounted stairs to the ship and sat down on the large chair and pushing out a loud sigh, before flopping down sideways. They didn't do anything and the guy had turned himself in, that was less suspenseful then she had imagined. She groaned and put a pillow over her face, she had been nervous for nothing. She couldn't get the words of his promise out of her mind or the way his eyes shone when he spoke to her, she smiled underneath the fabric. Her transformation wore off as she was changed in a pair of cream ripped shorts and deep green crop top. Her hair falling loose off the couch and her feet dangled off one side.

"We're good. We're safe." She side, pulling the pillow off her face, leaving one arm limp to the ground she shut her eyes. "I can sleep....." She murmured sleepily, shutting her eyes.
