Breath came crisply, sweet taste flecking pale lips as a sword formed a graceful arc, returned upon itself and landed face down in sheith. Small fingers touched peace cord and left it to lie, untied. The dead soldier would not miss his blade, slender nodachi secure in its hardened home.

Tiani turned back to those gathered, silent and not stating quite how she had walked into the midst of them unnoticed, how one shattered mind could lead onto one thousand paths. Lady Garnet's back was to her as she answered a question spoken by an unseen asker. Soft steps tore her away from curiousity and the question that had triggered such answers, tore her towards the edges of a reality so recently broken. Prism eyes met hers as she looked at the rainbowed angels. Both were soundly whole, she could not touch them. Sixteen year old flame wreathed woman turned and walked away.

It was her turn to feel as though she were an observer. They could wait for an eternity and still her smile would never flicker.

She found her 'mother' next. Lashana's wings a silent droop about her body, fragmented lines running across the woman's soul. A tapestry being gradually unravelled. She touched her mother's forehead and once again walked away, the slow method of reconstruction begining its work on weave's personal favorite. In the distance, Wyrd and Tyrsis tended the wounded.

This city was still a personal prison.

Fiery wings twitched and she supressed the urge to tear down the gilded cage that held the bodies of the faithful.

Your gods chose you... and broke you.

Last, she touched Kiora's cheek softly, death having taken the demoness hours gone. Tiani's smile wavered.
