[and here's Tybalt on his dragon steed.

...they really need to stop meeting like this.]

Are you following it?

[armisonant]

[well the yell caught his attention.] Princess!

[he kicks his dragon steed and dives toward her (though he didn't seem to need that much urging), though he had to pull up quickly when that blast came from her...spear?

not...quite what he expected, but there wasn't much time to wonder about it. the blast did seem to make the statue move back a bit, enough for her to maneuver at least, and as soon as he was close enough, Tybalt grabbed her hand to pull her back for good measure.]

[avis_immortalis]

[ When Tybalt reached for her hand, Gwendolyn was quick to do the same, reaching up towards him. When he caught her hand and moved her back, her wings closed tightly around her thighs, and the monster stumbled back just enough for them to get away. ]

Ah... [ The hand holding the spear reached up, the tip pushing her crown back into place atop her silver-haired head. Gwendolyn released a heavy breath she didn't realize she was holding. "That was close," she thought.]

[armisonant]

[once they're a good distance, he looks down at her.]

Are you all right?

[avis_immortalis]

[ The Princess looked to him, eyes searching Tybalt's face for a moment. ]

...You saved me.

[armisonant]

[not really noticing at how she's looking at him, his mind elsewhere.]

I think you defended yourself well enough on your own. I only helped pull you back.

[and since it looks like she isn't injured, no need for worry.]

...What was that light? [looking at her spear.]

[avis_immortalis]

[ Gwendolyn frowned for a moment, pushing away the strange fluttering she felt at having been saved before looking down at her spear. ]

...A Phozon Blast.

[armisonant]

How does it work? [he's also keeping an eye on that statue. it hasn't moved from its spot yet.]

[avis_immortalis]

It uses the light collected from the souls of the dead. Phozons. The stars of the Netherworld.

[ Gwendolyn looked to the statue. She could see why Cid wanted her to stay way... best not to tell him about this... unless he happened to see her flying in just as he told her not to. ]

We should move. It could counter. [ And the odds wouldn't be in their favor. ]

[armisonant]

[he's just going to look at her at the mention of "souls of the dead." not quite what he expected.

but enough of that.

he just nods and moves to the side so as to circle around it.]

[avis_immortalis]

[ She noticed that Tybalt had given her a look when she explained what Phozon's are. How could one not know about the lingering of souls, both human, animal, and plant, when it had lived out its life? ]

You seem confused.

[armisonant]

Yes. But now is not the time.

[because that statue is kind of turning toward them and has its blades pointed at them.]

[avis_immortalis]

[ Oh! Time to move! ]

Split up! [ And Gwendolyn crouched down, before shooting up into the air, a flurry of feathers following after, dissipating into the air like mist. ]

[armisonant]

[he didn't need to be told twice. as she went in one direction, he went in another, diving lower toward the base. not that he would be able to do much except perhaps distract it should the need arise.

but even so, he tried to see if there was any possible way to defeat this giant statue. obviously its blades were one of its main weapons, but what else? and was there possibly a way to stop or jam them...?]

[avis_immortalis]

[ Gwendolyn was contemplating the same thing as she soaring up into the air above the monster. Its blades were really what needed to go down, but she couldn't think of any way to stop them. Well, there was always jamming them, but, she had nothing in her arsenal for which to do so with. At least, not that she could think of right away. Dammit if only she could have made some Napalm or something before this. ]

[ "What do we do?" Gwendolyn looked around at all the destruction the statue had caused. Finally, an idea struck her, and she shouted down to Tybalt. ]

Sir Tybalt! [ The Princess shouted down to him. Her voice carried strongly over all the noise the statue was causing, but she was used to calling out orders over a noisy battlefield. ] Put a good distance inbetween you and the monster!

[armisonant]

[he glanced over at her when he heard her voice and gave a nod before doing just as she commanded.

so he steered the dragon steed away, increasing the distance between them and the statue. but even as he did, he had to wonder what the girl had in mind. he only hoped it wouldn't be reckless.]
