A chain wisped past his body, admittedly faster than he had expected. The chain, to late to bring Nazu back from the undisclosed location that Zeik and kurai had sent him, struck the mountains side.
Yet in the midst of this, famine, his actually enemy, was reciting the encantation of a spell he hadnt seen or heard before. He knew the nature of the spell was clearly included in its encantation;but, couldnt fathom its potential-nor, did he have time to deliberate. A large boulder was connected to Teralok's chain and hell bent on pulverizing him;but,would find that his Aura would prove sufficient in shattering the boulder upon colliding with his flame Aura. His Aura, a highly condense field of makaian Aura, ignited with his cursed flame, was capable of protecting him from even greater physical trauma;but, that didnt stop a large, flaming claw from rushing out his aura and stopping the boulder.
"Did he try to bring Nazuma back? Is he Sentimental?"
He thought to himself, reflecting on the timing of the chain and how futile striking him with a boulder wouldve been. His eyes found an enemy at every corner, gleaming pupils in the sky and their ominous glare perfectly reflected on the crystal ground below, famine to his right and his ally at his rear. It wasnt his first choice to go into this alone, but knowing what famine does in large groups...he pushed the thoughts from his mind.

The smoke that seeped from upunder her garments continued to fill the area with a thick and pungent smog. If any of the warriors had eyes to see, they would learn that the smoke, for all intents and purpose, was harmless to organic life. The smog was harmless, but still continued to spread-rising high into the atmosphere and blocking the light of the sun from reaching the now crystaline coated mountain.
He could hear and feel teralok break neck speeds splitting open the mountain, though the Azure alps had plenty to spare, it was still a painful to watch and experience.
"Origin Vision."
He said through gritted teeth, trying to stave away his own wrathful urges. Even without origin active, he had a deep connection to the planet and other people. Though he wouldnt suggest that he understood what teralok was going through, having subcome to Famines Aura;but, he could feel it and pain, especially mental anguish was especially triggering for him.
With his birthrune, origin vision, active his sensitivity to light and sound increased dramatically, allowing him to confirming the smog Famine was releasing was non-poisonous;but, was charged with naten. He needed more time to study the nature of the smog, but as Famine would have it her thrall wasnt allowing it. His eyes instinctively raced to meet the crystal warrior just seconds before...

“
ARE”
The words came with an avalanche of emphasis as he yanked on whatever was weighted on the end of the chain eventually pulling it back with as much velocity as his twisted torso could muster he spun the end around madly flinging the whole chain at the ghostly visage of the horsemen... most likely hitting Zeik in the process.
“
FAMIIIIIINNNNNE!!!!!”
Thin facets began leaning out of the ground in slices around him to point after the harrowing missile and even keeping the king at bay from backtracking towards the now terrorizing crystal warrior because he had only stopped moving for a second. Grabbing slabs of crystal like cornstalks as he walked and flung 3-4 foot jagged slices of what looked like twisted version of reality as they slid thru the air.
They were aimed at Zeik, whose awareness of the situation seemed to be distracted. With good reason. Teralok had capitalized on the dark energy that was so prevalent in the situation and finally decided to move and... it seemed like a reaction to the King himself.

"See no evil."
She said in a dual tone that reflected both her native language and the vescrutian language. The likes of which seemed to command the engulfing smog, a strong gust of wind swept down and molded the smog into a large dome like structure. She ignored zeiks remarks,questioning her as if she'd give insight to her workings. She only respondes with a slight smirk as she carried on with her spell, watching as the smog blackened the entirety of the battlefield. Without the suns light, the crystal covered mountain reflecting the white clouds above would only reflect the blacken emptiness of spacee.
The smog encased both her thrall and her target in a dome of pure darkness, harmless by itself;but, the king wasnt alone.
-He had seen this level of synchronicity before, this near perfect execution of events. Famine was but one of the horsemen that came to kemet that faithful night and leveled the stronghold of the great 13. She used the same technique the, blotting out the minds of the trinities allies and forcing them to do battle. It was this very knowing that forced his hand, forced him to face teralok and the horseman alone. He knew that if need be, famine could command thousands with her mind and still rumble with the trinity. The walls of smoke expanded and darkened the skewers of crystaline earth that Teralok hurled at him, making it difficult to see with the naked eye;but, origin vision didnt depend on light alone to perceive the world around it. Even in the pitch darkness that famine has designed as their battlefield, he could clearly see what terlok planned to do.
With his animus in hand, he slashed at the emptiness in front of him, releasing a cresent of blue, super heated, energy at each of the mounds of crystaline earth. He noticed the light from his cresent seemed dim witin the blackened space, a feat he couldnt quite understand at the moment. His flames burned at incredibly high temperatures and given the perceivable circumference of the dome..
"That shouldve lit up this entire..."
He said aloud with a hint of concern. His colorful eyes beaded about in the dark. He waited to see if his attack destroyed the slabs of crystal, he expected his attack would;but, only time could give honest feed back.

"???? ?? ????"
She chanted in her native tongue from behind the veil of darkness that the smoke created, the sound of chains clashing and earth crashing seemed muffled from the outside of the dome. She repeated her last encantation, effectively charging the muudra for her follow up.
Her words were quite triggering when she used her native tongue, the sound of it alone brought up painful memories, the kind that only appear when you're alone with you and your thoughts. However, this time her words seemed to erase those same feelings.
He began to feel happy, carefree, and above all...safe. a sensation that shouldve been foreign given the mood of the room;but, when he repeated the encantation in his head, the feelings of ease persisted. This stirred something inside of him, the likes of which almost threw his composure to the wind. Those who knew him loosely, knew him to always be calm under pressure, those who knew him well wouldnt speak about the times he lost his composure.
His free hand began twitching, rapidly shifting from one muudra to the next as his eyes into the pitch blacl void, fixed on famines position despite the veil of darkness between them.
