Symphonic Dance
- Koori doesn't move, but Shalimar can tell that she's itching to reach the altar. Koori turns to face her completely. Her expression becomes speculative, but intuitive. Her body language tells that she has her guard up as high as it will go.
"What has brought you here?" Koori asks; her voice as cold and mysterious as her.
Koori comes down a step. Her expression becomes colder for each passing moment. Suspicion shines brightly in her narrowed eyes. Koori descends another step, and her expression changes. It becomes more contemptuous than suspicion. Koori's expression irks Shalimar, but she manages to stay silent.
"Why have you come here?" Koori asks, her voice no different than ice.
"What you're doing is wrong," Shalimar exclaims. "You can't just destroy an entire planet!"
"Silence!" Koori yells, lurching forward.
She races down a few steps. "You have no idea! How dare you enter sacred ground and be so narrow-minded!"
"Me?" Shalimar snaps. "I'm not the one who's intent on destroying the world without listening to why she shouldn't!"
"Enough!" Koori snaps. She raises her arm. "Be gone!"
Instantly, a large ball of light bursts forth. Shalimar stares at Koori, wide eyed and shocked. Then the light engulfed her, and it disappeared. After that, she was gone. Koori turns on her heel. She hurries up towards the altar bathed in light.
"Adam, there's nothing here," Emma yells.
"Nothing here either," Brennan calls out.
Adam sighs, frowning. Tenshi had always left him some clues to figure out what to do. She was always guiding him towards the solution… Adam had encountered some rouge Guardians on his adventures with her. Even the rouge's wanted to protect. They just didn't know how to like the others. He could tell that Koori meant well. She wanted to stop humanity from suffering; she just didn't know how to do that in the right way.
"How about you Jesse?" Adam asks, worn out.
"Sorry. I can't find anything Adam. There's nothing that could help us," Jesse sighs.
Adam stalks away, furious. He doesn't want to think that Koori was as evil as her actions led them to believe. He knew both of her parents were good people, and he wouldn't believe Koori wasn't as good as them. He couldn't let her destroy the world, and he couldn't let her destroy herself.
Emma takes the stairs two at a time. "Adam, I found something!"
Koori stares out at the whipping sands. Her hands are tightly clenched fists at her sides. Slowly she raises her right arm and the sands blow off to the right. The winds still whip around, but the sands in the imminent area she moved stay put. Her steely, stern eyes graze over the uncovered skeleton of what must be a giant. The part of the skull that covers the brain is twice the size of the building Koori is standing on. One of the shoulder's that was sticking out is covered in a blue armour with a protruding spike.
"Do nae ca maena nicova ditranai coneiasa Mivaela…"
Koori stares out as the sands start to shift again. A loud crunch echoes out as the giant skeleton moves. It holds a razor sharp sword with two points. The skeleton rises to its knees and bows its head to Koori. Behind it, more and more skeletons rise from the sand and bow their heads' to her. She extends her right hand out to the side. Her palm opens and a staff comes out from thin air and floats down onto her palm. The skeleton at the front leans forward and Koori hops onto its shoulder. It stands up and walks off, the others following it obediently. Her left hand brushes a small red pouch which wasn't there before.
