>We have no idea what the 'this' that she spoke of is, correct?
>Those wings Sanae spoke of losing. Does that ring any bells?
>Only that it was something important. Both to her and to you, you think.
>None you can hear.
>How strong is the power coming from Sanae at the moment, if we had to gauge it against familiar things?
>Any change in Elis?
>Right now, you can't actually feel anything from Sanae, and Elis is still standing there with that malicious grin on her face. But that changes with the black energy around Sanae swells and vanishes. The young woman's attire has changed dramatically. A light leeching black singlet covers her torso, vaguely reminiscent of the sailor fuku uniform used in some schools. This one has a skirt and epaulets in light grey, trimmed with sky blue, with a large grey ribbon over her chest. Short black boots and gloves cover her hands and feet, though her new ring is still plain to see on her finger. It's grey jewel matches the jewel set on the black choker around her neck. The whole ensemble gives you a very sinister vibe, even the big green ribbons on the back of her singlet.
>Of course, that sinister vibe might have something to do with the sense of power you feel from her and Elis. Sanae's aura now reads as virtually identical to Elis', and may even be more powerful than Elis'. But despite the look of her outfit and the feel of her aura, there's nothing sinister about the look on her face. She seems... well, enraptured is the word that comes to your mind.
>"Are you all right, Sanae?" Kanako asks her, laying a gentle hand on her daughter's shoulder.
>The green haired woman replies with a short laugh, then smiles before laughing more, louder. She tilts her head back to look up at the cloudy sky. "Fly?" she whispers, and her feet lift off the ground. She glances down at her booted feet hovering off the ground, and another laughs bursts out of her mouth.
