"Yeah..." is all she says but in her face joy, catharsis and guilt are written broadly enough even without telepathy.

The two darted through space, and darted down low, down a street, sending cars flying into the air to smash into buildings, as they darted back towards the hotel proper.

She nods and pushes herself up proper, trying to not let it show too much how much effort just standing up is took her.

"In fact, we might want to start running." she says, holding out her hand towards Sam to help her up.

And with that, the two bolts of light resolved into their component Miras, as they HURTLED towards the building, Harbinger having a grasp of Mira's hair as they charged back, faster than a speeding bullet!

"We'll talk about death wishes later," she said as she scrambled to her feet and fled down the corridor.

And Nailah was running right beside her, fleeing from the impending aggressive remodeling of the hallway.

Harbinger slammed through, grinding Mira's face against the wall, causing severe structural integrity flaws throughout the corridor, and JUST missing the fleeing teachers, as she turned around, and smashed Mira, face-first, through the floor, creating a gaping hole.


"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU...." she shouted.

And then they came back up, up, up, shooting through the roof up through the ceiling, exposing the sky outside.

"You really don't want to know the answer to that..." Nailah says, glancing up through the hole in the ceiling before turning her eyes downward at the jagged shaft left behind by the two clashing forces.

A shudder passed through her as Daniel was blasted, and another as she caught the sheer, raw emotion coming off of Altamira as she went after Harbinger in the wake of Daniel's fall.

"...I think I know anyway," she said with a frown.

Nailah takes a step away from the hole and, with her back against one of the remaining walls, slides down to the ground, staring out at the night sky.

"Almost over now..."

She closed her eyes for a moment.

For a moment Nailah just stares at the sky.


"I loved you madly; in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly. 'Tis misfortune that awakens defiance, or disdain, or treachery in hearts where these qualities had never come to life but for the circumstance which gave them a being. And thus at the treshold of salvation we behold, unable to contain events unleashed, what follows in our wake, such venerable terrors; and with a smile I tremble at the things we wrought."

"How beautiful you are! You are more beautiful in anger than in repose. I don't ask you for your love; give me yourself and your hatred; give me yourself and that pretty rage; give me yourself and that enchanting scorn; it will be enough for me."

She murmured, and it was uncertain if it was actually Samantha responding or if something of her was caught up in the odd singsong prophecy that Nailah tended to utter. If anything, she herself didn't seem to know.

"Some would call this an inappropriate reaction to what's happening." She doesn't particularly sound like she cares, though part of her is dimly aware that the things going on around them are far from romantic.

"I can tell one thing..." she says and pulls Sam into a kiss, disregarding the chaos outside as up above them in eerie silence the moon was ripped in two.

"...it's done," she said as the kiss parted.

"Was it worth it?"
