Niariel looked down at Katsumi before the fairy's legs gave way beneath her and she collapsed onto the bed.<br/>"Great, I'm supposed to protect you and I can barely stand." She said, sitting up, curling her knees to her chest again and wiping the tears from her eyes. It was now Niariel realised how weak she was due to her emotions, that and she hadn't had anything substantial to eat for some time now. She sniffed and rubbed her nose, a simple act but it felt like much more of an effort.<br/><br/>The girl raised her head to take another look at Katsumi.<br/>"I'm sorry I'm making you sad but....I just can't help it." She said. Niariel's tears had dried up but it did nothing to disperse the sadness. Without thinking, she ran a hand through her hair and pulled off the ring Ikaria had given her and threw it away. Almost immediately, the bedsheets around her froze solid. Except for a little circle around Katsumi. Niariel didn't seem to notice, her were downcast and she was just staring down at the ice around her.<br/><br/>Akzariel, meanwhile, was flying away from the school in the general direction of home. He stopped and clenched his fists before loosing a bolt of lightning at a nearby tree. It splintered the tree's base with ease and sent it toppling to the ground. He didn't stop there. Spinning around, he blasted another tree and then another. When he had calmed down, there was a large clearing of  smouldering wood and small fires surrounding him.
