Will had stood there, watching, as all knowledge of the Old Ones and the battle against the Dark faded out of their memories.  From Jane and Simon and Barney, the three human children who had witnessed so much.  And from Bran...  Bran the pendragon, who had lost and given so

Get up!

[ Naoya would offer him a hand, but he has a machine gun in the left and a sword in the right. He lifts the gun toward a tentacle that whipped too close to them, spraying it with bullets until it jerks away. ]

[beyondimagining]

[Will hastily jumps to his feet as the tentacle sweeps close. As he does so he begins to reach in his mind for the words to freeze it in time. He would prefer not to, without knowing the situation. But it was best to be prepared.]

[singsforsouls]

Keep behind me!

[ Naoya puts himself between Will and the nearest tentacle. Blue wind blows from nowhere, whipping around him as he yells: ]

Persona!

[ A skeletal snake appears above his head, wreathed in blue flame, and darts out to strike the tentacle, ripping at it with its jaws before it disappears as quickly as it came. ]

[beyondimagining]

[And Will stares in confusion, Even as he takes a few quick steps behind Naoya and snaps out a word in the Old Speech to call out a shield of defense about them.]

What spell was that?

[singsforsouls]

[ He was about to say the same thing. ]

Bonecrusher.

[beyondimagining]

It is not one known to me.

[singsforsouls]

Are you a Persona user?

[beyondimagining]

What is a persona?

[singsforsouls]

The being that just appeared.

[beyondimagining]

I have never heard of such a thing before.

[singsforsouls]

Then you must be from a different world.

[ Naoya shakes his head, looking towards the tentacle again. ]

I'll explain later. We need to get to safety.

[beyondimagining]

[Will nods, glancing away from the kraken. If it had truly been sent from Tethys, he did not wish to offend her any more by attacking it.]

Where do we go?

[singsforsouls]

Towards the center of the city, away from the edges! Follow me!

[ Once Naoya was sure the boy would follow, he took off. ]

[beyondimagining]

[Will follows after him without saying anything more.]

[singsforsouls]

[ Naoya gets him somewhere fairly quiet. ]

You're not hurt at all, are you?

[beyondimagining]

[Will shakes his head.

No, I'm not injured at all.
