<span style="color: #00FF00">Valehna hadn't allowed herself to feel too many emotions ever since she had been imprisoned. She had put all thought of her clan out of her mind, locked that part of herself away. Up till now, she had been moderately successful at avoiding most emotions, at least unpleasant ones. She had had plenty to distract her, and that had helped.<br/><br/>Everything was changing now. She was allowing herself to feel angry, and the negative emotion reminded her of everything that had led up to her being here. Her killing of the soldiers. The slaughter of her clan. The anger and the sadness were melding together and forming a tidal wave in her consciousness that was becoming difficult to curb.<br/><br/>Her hands glowed more fervently, and the ground trembled slightly. She noticed Tal sitting near her, but at that moment, she needed something to take her anger out on. She turned around and focused on one of the statues that held the key. She focused all her rage onto the ground below it, starting a small earthquake underneath it. The ground beneath the statue began to swallow itself as earth and rocked turned themselves over and over. The base of the statue shifted, cracked, then broke and became a part of the raging earthquake beneath the statue. Soon, the whole thing had caved in upon itself. The rocks lay crumbled together, and she stared at them, waiting for the inevitable to happen. They lay still for a minute, and then slowly began to rearrange themselves into a humanoid shape, glowing with a slight blue tinge. Valehna steeled herself, anticipating the fight.</span><br/><br/>Mesaraih pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and pressed a fist against his mouth in an effort to not be angered himself.<br/><br/>"You may not want it, but you're going to need it," he finally said, opening his eyes. "So here." He dropped it at her feet.<br/><br/>"Whether you take it now or don't is no longer my problem. I'm going to help the others open the big door and I'm leaving this place for good. I've had enough of it."<br/><br/>He began to walk back up the stairs, stopping short at the foot of them. "And good luck," he said, a bit more quietly, before beginning his ascent up the stairs.
