[font=trebuchet ms]Rin had been asleep, for once, in a room on the outskirts of town. It wasn't often that her wandering thoughts ceased for long enough for her to black out, but the injuries she had suffered from the Torchbearer had required her to rest more than usual. With some sleep and frequent replacement of her bandages, the burns had begun to heal.
Fire, though, was never more than a moment away.
She heard screams, could detect a hint of smoke, and in seconds she was awake, grabbing her quiver, stumbling to her feet and rushing outside. Looking around, though dazed, she heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that the town was not yet on fire. The column of smoke rose from elsewhere, a fair distance away judging from its size. Her eyes lowered to the horizon, where the source of the smoke would be.
Of course, it had to be the observatory, the one remnant she had left of the Ascendants- the one physically-standing piece of evidence that they had ever existed.
She bolted, paying no mind to the protests of her burnt skin, towards the observatory. The Pitt's disgusting stench was clear in the air. There was going to be a fight, of that she was certain. Having slain fallen gods, the idea of facing mortals wasn't as intimidating. The Pitt was large, though, almost certainly large enough to outnumber Elysium- if everyone came. The Pitt called to mind another enemy clan she'd faced, one cocky enough to leave most of its members at home when they came calling, and that had done little damage as a result.
The observatory was already burning, though, and there was no repairing that. All she could do was make the arsonists pay.
Rin had arrived on the scene all of two seconds before someone came running towards her, closing the distance between them quicker than she would've expected, his claws catching onto her side- the uninjured one, thankfully. Twisting around, her whiskers twitched as his face snapped forward, catching a hold of her scarf. Yanking away from him, she used her telekinesis to take an arrow from her quiver, and attempted to jam the arrowhead into his side.
