So many questions, and absolutely no answers. First there were just four people in the distance, then a fifth appeared and started... firing energy at people.<span style="font-style: italic">What the hell? Now they're fighting?</span>Doce suddenly felt very relieved she'd decided to stay hidden. For good measure, she lowered herself closer to the ground and tried to keep quiet. It was sort of hard to hear them, as far away as she was, but if she heard what she thought she did, the person in white was on their own side, and something was going on with the lady with the gun.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Either that girl doesn't know her own strength,</span>Doce thought,<span style="font-style: italic">Or maybe... she's like me? I wonder if I can use Frahlah's abilities?</span>It would be epic if that were true, but she wasn't sure she wanted to be put in the kind of position where she would find out. A wave of fear and sadness washed over her and she felt the strong wish to go home, where it was safe. Watching a battle scene felt less fantastic when you could be drawn into the middle of it at any second.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">No! You have to calm down,</span>she told herself.<span style="font-style: italic">As far as you can tell, this is really happening. You're <span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span> Doce anymore: you're Frahlah Tahmihr, and you can't run away if you get scared. If that girl is like me, maybe the others are too, and you stand a better chance in a group than you do alone.</span>It was interesting to realize that she still didn't think like Frahlah, despite being in his body. Frahlah would have decided already who was the bad guy in the fight and jumped in to help the good guys, but<span style="font-style: italic">she</span>was much more hesitant. If she could stay out of the fight altogether that would be wonderful, but if it looked like she would have to fight, she<span style="font-style: italic">at least</span>wanted to assess the others fighting abilities first. Frahlah was a good fighter, but it was always good if you could get some sort of an edge on somebody.<span style="font-style: italic">Any</span>weakness could be exploited... and that went both ways.
