<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Cecilia</span></span><br/><br/>To say Cecilia was exhausted would be an understatement. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was struggling against the three wispy, wraith like beings that shot about the warehouse in front of her. She hadn't slept in far too long because there was so much that needed to be done. She had to protect the people of Varne. Things had been mostly easy the last month but she had taken some real damage from the last large battle and it had taken her quite a few days to get back to near normal health. As a result, she was a little slower lately. There was something worse, though.<br/><br/>Cecilia had been disturbed to learn that there was another like her. When Ricari had come running to her help when she'd been taking a beating from that water monster. At first she was just in shock to learn he could see the same things she could, but then he began to use his own powers to aid her and she saw the butterfly marks on his skin and realized that he had been blessed, or cursed, just like she had. Almost soon as they'd defeated the creature, she'd fled. She needed to rest and heal but that wasn't the only reason she had run. She had not expected to find another like her and it had made her nervous. She knew nothing about this man and she had been alone in what she did for so long, she wasn't sure she was ready for company.<br/><br/>Now, against these ghost-like creatures, she was beginning to rethink her mindset. Some help would surely come in handy at that moment. Cecilia lifted her hands and shot another orb of white light at one of the wraiths as it shot past her, wailing horribly. The noise had been the reason she'd come. It had been terrifying a neighborhood who, while they couldn't see the things, had been affected by the noises coming from the warehouse not far from their homes.<br/><br/>Cecilia let out a heavy breath of relief as the orb of energy made contact with one of the wraiths and it screeched again as it sank to the floor. She took a few steps forward, her hands up and ready. Her heightened senses allowed her to see better in the dark but the creatures could still take her by surprise. They were so similar to the shadows they blended into and if not for the noise they emitted, she would be having even more trouble taking any of them down.<br/><br/>They had attacked her a number of times. Cuts and grazes adorned her body but her marks glowed as they slowly healed her skin. She wasn't badly hurt, just exhausted. It would be good to sleep tonight, provided nothing else demanded her attention.
