Rylie sighed, "Great."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ice powers... Freeze the trees... Sorry, trees.</span><br/><br/>She focused her attention on the group of trees that Kratos had indicated. With little more than a thought, the trees froze instantly under a pale blue sheet of solid ice.<br/><br/>"That was way too easy," she said shakily, looking at Kratos and raising a brow, "Is it supposed to be that easy?"<br/>She shrugged, and gazed back at the trees. Now, to shatter them. As soon as she thought it, a bolt of violet lightning ripped through that particular group, decimating them into pretty little shards.<br/><br/>"Wha- What was that?!"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ten seconds ago I had Ice abilities! Now it's Lightning?!</span><br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>"There's something strange going on," Emily stated obviously, "Frost on her books... And it was coming from her? And did you feel the temperature fluctuate with Rylie's mood? She's a magical creature of some kind, isn't she? C'mon, Raphael, you know something about this, don't you?"<br/><br/>She pouted slightly, "Don't leave me in the dark here; Ry's my best friend! What if she needs help? How can I help her if I don't even know what's going on or what she is or what skills she has and what if she's scared and Kratos is completely insensitive and," she paused to take a deep breath, "Ohhh, we gotta go back! I'm not letting her tackle this strangeness alone! Onward!" With that, she turned and marched, quite literally, back in the direction of Rylie's apartment, unaware that Rylie and Kratos were no longer there.
