Thread: Lightning Soldier Aurelia [Lady Grimoire x Azecreth]

Rose reached out toward that little box she had eyed earlier, and her fingers danced across the upper edge as she debated pulling it out toward her. Mind weighing the upsides and downsides--of which they were few--and as she finally started to tug it toward her, that necklace that loosely hang around her neck began to glow. Immediately, she frowned, and sat up while bringing up one of her hands to cup it in her palm and raise it to she could see. Lips pressed thin, she regarded it silently for a few moments. Then, slowly clasped it into her palm while she closed her eyes. Her reaction more of concern over those who might be getting hurt over her night being ruined--the fact that something had come out, over letting those she protected have at least one more peaceful night. When she had first started out, she had to dart about the town, seeking out the danger herself, but as she unlocked more of her powers, she uncovered a new means of finding the creatures. Concentrating, her mind reached out, aided with the help of the amulet. She watched as streets and buildings flashed by, her mind jumping from one person to the next. Inside of car, to inside a diner, to someone staring at a newspaper until it finally settled--she watched herself walking through the front doors of the train station she recognized to be nearby, and across the open floor. The gaze she shared shifted down to peer at a ticket, and then, down a set of stairs toward one of the platforms where she felt a sense of unease. Few lights, those that were there flickered, and then a scream from the darkness. Whomever the second sight had linked her to turned to run, and then, found the world turned wrong--the floor became the ceiling, the ceiling the floor. Bags fell and bounced down the stairs, another scream, and then Rose was thrown onto her back with a gasp. For a moment, she lay there, blinking. Most times, she had been able to glimpse where it was she was needed, and glimpse what she was to face, her mental projection only ending when she ended it--yet here she had been forced out, and pushed back. It instilled within her a sense of urgency, that this was one of the more powerful threats, and made her quickly snap-to and scramble to her feet. In the same motion that she did that, she smoothly pulled her necklace free, and tossed it into the air. It flared a white light, and chased after her as she scrambled down the stairs from her bed--then leaped from still half-way up to the floor. Mid-jump, two white ribbons of glowing light shot forth from the amulet, down, and encircled her feet. Each one wrapping a foot, and then up her leg. As the ribbon reached her calves, her boots too shape, solid, and sturdy, with a slight heel, and lined with silver, it wasn't her bare feet but those she landed upon. Her descend softened by the fluttering of the little white wings which had appeared to the side of each of her ankles. The boots continued up her legs to her knees, and the ribbn ended mid-thigh, everything passed her knee becoming a white stocking. Then, she took off on her left foot, dashing toward the full-length window just across from the stairs. More ribbons came down, four in all, encircling her body, forming a suit of white-silver armor which hugged her form, and only accentuated her figure rather than covered it up in bulky plate. The armor extended up, covering her upper chest, and offering some protection for her neck as well as going out to each of her sides to cover her upper arms. With blinding speed, the necklace then darted ahead of Rose, right up against the window. The long chain pulled in, and it turned into a small gem while the glass around it rippled, and wobbled, like it had been turned to a liquid. It rested at a level that when Rose reached it and ran throughi t, it was pressed into her chest, just above her breasts, where upon the armor shifted some to create a little place to hold it as Rose leaped not just out the window, but, straight through it and out into the open night air. Fairly high up, and gravity being a thing, she immediately began to fall. Once more, a flare of white and silver threads came out from the gem, wrapped around her body, and formed a pair of small angelic wings. Two more silvery threads wound down her arms, forming white gloves which went up to her elbows, meeting the armor, while a final one went up her neck, and formed a small mask which covered her forehead and nose leaving only space for her eyes. In all, it took no more than a few minutes for Rose to go from her bed, to gliding softly on small wings down toward where the train station was. Landing upon a nearby rooftop, just a hop, skip and a jump away from the station itself, she then crouched down and peered down toward the buildng. There she waited for a few moments, to see if it was coming out as it had seemed to be quite close to the entrance, or if it was to hide inside. And if after a few moments it did not come out, she would hop from the building, glide down to the street and dash across, through the doors, and into the station itself in order to chase it down before anyone else could be harmed. Normally, she would have been more careful. Transforming upon the roof, being far less dramatic, but the proximity and concern over its power urged her to act somewhat rashly--it didn't help that her mind had become somewhat... preoccupied, and even as she waited there she tried to dispel those exhibitionist thoughts and musings from her mind, in order to calm herself, and focus on whatever was threatening the people of her town. One of, if not the only, downside to these newfound powers and the effort she had gone through to unlock them was that it left her mind as far from that of a prude one could be.
