But their small numbers still was enough to hold them off. They got the moon and their ancestors protection on them./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"It was a massacre. Bodies from both sides laid across the Shrine. Blood was everywhere. There was at least 57 Talon corpses and 23 from the villagers. Jesse, Genji, Orisa and Zhuge did their best to protect their numbers, but there is only so much they can do. It was impossible for all the villagers to survive. And they knew it./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"But that didn't deter them to continue fighting. Fire. Blood. Ashes. Destruction. span class="Ninguno"emDeath/em/span. Those are the words to describe the fight over the Shrine. At some point, more villagers arrived to help, convinced by Dae to aid them.

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I thought that you'd be staying behind, over the village." Jesse said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I couldn't let you all risk your lives while I stand behind. Even Yuna is willing to risk her own life to free our town! I am such a coward." Dae said./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Then learn fast to protect what you cherish the most." Jesse said, taking a weapon from the ground and gave it to Dae./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dae looked to the given weapon and explored it to familiarize with it. He then asked. "So, you cherish Princess Hana Song?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""She and her legacy were the ones who gave me and my former gang another chance to redeem our souls. Serving to protect and keep order in the city. They gave us a purpose. And they never, span class="Ninguno"emever/em/span, treated us poorly or with disrespect. They always treated us like we were part of the family, someones who are worth to save and help. Ashe and I, along with the rest of the gang, took an oath to protect that legacy. And thus, I am here with Ashe, protecting the Princess who always saw us like we were brethren of her." Jesse explained./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dae looked down. "That explains a lot."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Through my life, I have never seen such a Princess. So kind. So full of light. You cannot find a trace of darkness on her. I've served other Princesses before Hana, but they do had darkness on them. Some even used it for their own personal gain."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Before Dae could say something else, a villager screamed that more Talon forces are in bound./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Enough talking." Jesse said. "Everyone! Listen up!" He said, making the rest of their forces to gather on his position. "Be prepared for anything and everything. Talon is coming again. I know all of us are tired, but we still have to continue fighting. Those who don't want to die, step backwards." Jesse said. No one moved. Internally, Jesse sighed in relief. "Then we will show Talon that our will is not so easily broken! Protect the ones you care about! Avenge those who have fallen! Fight like never before! Aim for victory! And if we fall today, Talon will never forget that they cannot have what they want without a fight!" Everyone cheered at his words. "Do not forget why are you all fighting! This is our land, not theirs! Now, charge!" He said with everyone following./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center" /p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Akande was on his quarters meditating. He decided to use Brigitte's spacious room for his own. Since his defeat avoiding the rescue attempt a few days ago, he decided to train both of his mind and body to prevent further attempts. He asked Sombra to create something that could train him. And she succeeded in doing so: a machine that can extract all of ones fears and make them real, capable of killing you if you don't try really hard. Right now, on his new clothes made by himself, he now sat in the middle of the room. His eyes closed, he breathed slowly, calming his mind to feel around him. He no longer uses the magical Punch he inherited. Instead, he will fight with his bare hands./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Feeling something appearing behind him, he opened his eyes and in a swift move, he both dodged the creature's attack and counter attacked, sending flying the creature to the wall, destroying it. Suddenly, claps were heard in the air as a mocking voice spoke./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Bravo~. You surely dominated your own fears, span class="Ninguno"emDoomfist/em/span."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I thought I told you that I didn't want to be bothered, Sombra." He replied turning back to see the woman entering the room./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Awww... you don't have to treat me like that. After all, span class="Ninguno"emI /em/spanwas the one who created that little machine over there." She said walking to the machine. "And I can take it away from you."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""As if you could do that, Sombra. What brings you here?" Akande said, knowing full well that Sombra only cares about her own gain./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That woman, Amélie, is ready. She no longer holds emotions. They are blocked from her mind."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Blocked? I believe that we wanted her emotions to be span class="Ninguno"emerased/em/span, Sombra. That way, she can be the perfect assassin."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""It's not easy to do that, you know. Eliminating someone's emotions can destroy the mind. Of all the tests subjects I had through my long life, she was the only one who actually span class="Ninguno"emsurvived/em/span the process. And not only once, but span class="Ninguno"emtwice/em/span."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Akande shook his head and headed to gather his magical Punch. But Sombra's left hand stopped him from putting it on. Immediately, he looked at her with an annoyed expression./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What do you want, Sombra?" He said in a tone that Sombra recognize to be careful around Akande./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"But Sombra always plays her cards really well. And so she smiled./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""My, my. You are worse than me in my period." She joked. Her smile then disappeared. "But seriously now. We've got trouble again."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What kind of trouble?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Our forces on Nepal have spotted the Princess there. They are trying to capture her, but they can't overwhelm her small army of villagers."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Hmm... that means that they are using Wujing's help for that."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sombra put a hand on her chin. "They didn't spot Wujing on the group. But we do know that he's with them. The thing is, that they don't know where."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What do you want Talon to do? Send a rescue party? Recover Nepal?" Akande said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Yes. We left a great amount of our forces there." Sombra said in a matter of fact,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We've already had a successful rescue attempt from part of the survivors. We cannot allow ourselves to get weaker sending a party to Nepal. It was the first place we dominated, but it nospan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanlonger has any potential for Talon. We used Sanzang's power to invade Busan at the Festival."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But if they manage to rescue Sanzang, then the Princess will learn more of her power!"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That we know. But think about this. If the Princess learns all of her power. If she awakens everything about that ancient magic, then Talon will be more powerful than before when we free him." Akande said turning to Sombra./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I know you want to free him. Everyone has their motives. But you promised to follow the Council's decisions. And it decided to leave Nepal out of our strongholds. It is far away and far too hard and expensive to send resources an troops there." He said, taking gently Sombra's hand and guiding her to the door. Sombra only listened, keeping quite./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""The council knows that we have a great numbers of troops there. In fact, the Council as about to call them off, but all of our communications attempts didn't work. And then we got intel about the Princess being there."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That's why you decided to leave those troops there? To see if they can capture the Princess?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. But if they are not successful, we can replace the troops we lost. This organization has so much influence. We can recruit the lost number in a day or two. Especially since our way to transform civilians, guards, warriors and fighters into royal and efficient Talon Troops is extremely effective and productive. If you cannot think on anything else than Nepal, then do something else. Go and study the books that Moira stole before she joined."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""If you say so."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Now, go and get out of my chambers." Akande said closing the door in front of Sombra's face. /span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"She sighed and decided to get something to eat. When she was near her room, she started hearing music and singing. She approached the music and arrived to Moira's room. Opening a bit the door, she saw Moira using a yellow Hanbok, with white sleeves and pants, blue lines covering the edges of the Hanbok, white boots. On her neck was a collar made of rounded brown spheres. The sleeves got different colors: yellow on the shoulders, green, blue and red to the elbow, then yellow and at the end of the long sleeves, extending beyond the hands, white./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sombra also caught sight of the mask Moira was wearing: a red mask with flaming eyes. She saw the way Moira moved, and saw too Siebren watching Moira dance./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""The dance is called Talchum." A voice said behind her. Turning around, Sombra found Reaper standing behind her. "You should not bother the distressed wife while she dances." He said, taking her aside from the door and closing it without a sound./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What she was doing there?" Sombra asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Isn't your job to know everything?" He said venomsly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Well, she was dancing the Talchum. A dance which tells a story. But I'm asking why she's doing it."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Because her husband can recognize her more intensely that way." Reaper said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Really? I thought the old man always recognized her when she approached him."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Not always. But with this dance, Siebren stays calm and can actually speak, though in a more metaphorical way that comes from the song."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You know a lot of her and her husband." Sombra said, not asking but stating a fact./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. One warning. Do not bother her. Or I span class="Ninguno"emwill /em/spankill you." With that, Reaper turned into mist and flew away, leaving a confused but curious Sombra behind. She decided to return to her room and do some investigation about Hana. Her room was once Hana's room. It was filled with many magical screens showing different places, machines attached to different metal devices on the walls. Different lights were shining across the room: red, green, purple, black, yellow. /span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sombra went to the bed and took a piece of paper. She started walking around the screens and taking notes. The information the screens were giving her are about the Seal that is keeping Talon sealed away. The inscriptions there are a bit hard to decipher, but thanks to her nearly unlimited amount of data she gathered across the world and from different places and ruins, she believes that she can translate those inscriptions./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""span class="Ninguno"emSh'rityu ahg'lev'dt mohs'tyre./em/span" She said aloud. "Hmm... difficult to get the original idea or that it make sense. 'span class="Ninguno"emSeal to Return never./em/span'" She said and then sighed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Having problems, Sombra?" A voice said from behind. She turned around and saw Max entering the room./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You could say so. But nothing I can't handle."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Our data about those transcriptions says that there are two beings who can understand them. One of them is the Princess herself once she's learned all about her power." He said getting closer to Sombra. "The other one is..."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""...an Ancient Machine, which served when Overwatch was still around against Talon. I know. Our spies informed that there is still one active and in good shape, but we cannot find it." She closed her eyes and thought for a moment./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I'm sure that we will find it." Max said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""In the mean time, I'll continue with this. If you've got nothing else to do than to stay here, I'd ask you to leave, Max."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Max left without saying anything else, leaving Sombra on the room./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Wujing was keeping his eyes looking around to see that everything is fine. Zhuque sat besides Hana, sending calming waves to her mind while she breaks the bubble. Satya was keeping eyes around them with her turrets./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Hana was doing her bst to break the bubble. She can feel its strength start to dwindle. She can feel Sanzang's presence inside, but then a loud sound was heard and she looked around her. She found nothing and continued with the process. Only to be thrown away from where she was standing. She then find herself back at Busan and everything was full with blood and death. Panicking, Hana started to run and screamed for any of her friends./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""May be you should rest, Princess." Zhuque offered. Hearing her, but not answering, Hana placed her hands on it and focused harder. The bubble reacted like before, its strength dwindled and then she felt herself being thrown to the ground. But this time, she ignored the sight in front of her and closed her eyes, focused her inherited power and started glowing and lifted from the ground./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Jesse's group was in bad shape. Not only Talon crushed them, but also got word that Hana was in fact at the Sanctuary. Because of that intel, the remaining Talon forces left the few survivors to do whatever they pleased. Immediately Jesse went to check on Yuna, who was on the ground hugging another body./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You alright?" He asked limping. It was then that Jesse realized that the body Yuna was hugging was Dae's./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We failed..." Yuna whispered looking up to him. He saw tears on her face. "We've failed to protect her... and now... now they will capture her and kill us all... like they did with the others before..." she sobbed. Jesse knelt to her level./span/p

"I know it hurts... loosing a loved one... but-" Jesse was interrupted when a bright light came from above, just where he Sanctuary is. The light was brighter than the growth sun, but it had two effects on all the people on Nepal./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The first effect, acted on the injured, whether gravely injured, even those at the doorstep of death, got healed and recover their consciousness, including Dae./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The second effect acted on all Talon's forces, making a dark aura to exit their bodies and to dissipate in the process. After that, they fell to the ground unconscious./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Jesse stood, knowing full well what that meant. Yuna's eyes were wide in shock,/span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"It was a massacre. Bodies from both sides laid across the Shrine. Blood was everywhere. There was at least 57 Talon corpses and 23 from the villagers. Jesse, Genji, Orisa and Zhuge did their best to protect their numbers, but there is only so much they can do. It was impossible for all the villagers to survive. And they knew it./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"But that didn't deter them to continue fighting. Fire. Blood. Ashes. Destruction. span class="Ninguno"emDeath/em/span. Those are the words to describe the fight over the Shrine. At some point, more villagers arrived to help, convinced by Dae to aid them. It was because of that extra numbers they were able to pull Talon back and give them a small gap to rest./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I thought that you'd be staying behind, over the village." Jesse said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I couldn't let you all risk your lives while I stand behind. Even Yuna is willing to risk her own life to free our town! I am such a coward." Dae said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Hey, now. You are here now. We still need to give the Princess more time. So grab a weapon and start fighting."/span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Then learn fast to protect what you cherish the most." Jesse said, taking a weapon from the ground and gave it to Dae./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dae looked to the given weapon and explored it to familiarize with it. He then asked. "So, you cherish Princess Hana Song?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""She and her legacy were the ones who gave me and my former gang another chance to redeem our souls. Serving to protect and keep order in the city. They gave us a purpose. And they never, span class="Ninguno"emever/em/span, treated us poorly or with disrespect. They always treated us like we were part of the family, someones who are worth to save and help. Ashe and I, along with the rest of the gang, took an oath to protect that legacy. And thus, I am here with Ashe, protecting the Princess who always saw us like we were brethren of her." Jesse explained./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dae looked down. "That explains a lot."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Through my life, I have never seen such a Princess. So kind. So full of light.

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Before Dae could say something else, a villager screamed that more Talon forces are in bound./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Enough talking." Jesse said. "Everyone! Listen up!" He said, making the rest of their forces to gather on his position. "Be prepared for anything and everything. Talon is coming again. I know all of us are tired, but we still have to continue fighting. Those who don't want to die, step backwards." Jesse said. No one moved. Internally, Jesse sighed in relief. "Then we will show Talon that our will is not so easily broken! Protect the ones you care about! Avenge those who have fallen! Fight like never before! Aim for victory! And if we fall today, Talon will never forget that they cannot have what they want without a fight!" Everyone cheered at his words. "Do not forget why are you all fighting! This is our land, not theirs! Now, charge!" He said with everyone following./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center" /p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Akande was on his quarters meditating. He decided to use Brigitte's spacious room for his own. Since his defeat avoiding the rescue attempt a few days ago, he decided to train both of his mind and body to prevent further attempts. He asked Sombra to create something that could train him. And she succeeded in doing so: a machine that can extract all of ones fears and make them real, capable of killing you if you don't try really hard. Right now, on his new clothes made by himself, he now sat in the middle of the room. His eyes closed, he breathed slowly, calming his mind to feel around him. He no longer uses the magical Punch he inherited. Instead, he will fight with his bare hands./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Feeling something appearing behind him, he opened his eyes and in a swift move, he both dodged the creature's attack and counter attacked, sending flying the creature to the wall, destroying it. Suddenly, claps were heard in the air as a mocking voice spoke./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Bravo~. You surely dominated your own fears, span class="Ninguno"emDoomfist/em/span."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I thought I told you that I didn't want to be bothered, Sombra." He replied turning back to see the woman entering the room./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Awww... you don't have to treat me like that. After all, span class="Ninguno"emI /em/spanwas the one who created that little machine over there." She said walking to the machine. "And I can take it away from you."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""As if you could do that, Sombra. What brings you here?" Akande said, knowing full well that Sombra only cares about her own gain./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That woman, Amélie, is ready. She no longer holds emotions. They are blocked from her mind."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Blocked? I believe that we wanted her emotions to be span class="Ninguno"emerased/em/span, Sombra. That way, she can be the perfect assassin."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""It's not easy to do that, you know. Eliminating someone's emotions can destroy the mind. Of all the tests subjects I had through my long life, she was the only one who actually span class="Ninguno"emsurvived/em/span the process. And not only once, but span class="Ninguno"emtwice/em/span."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Akande shook his head and headed to gather his magical Punch. But Sombra's left hand stopped him from putting it on. Immediately, he looked at her with an annoyed expression./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What do you want, Sombra?" He said in a tone that Sombra recognize to be careful around Akande./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"But Sombra always plays her cards really well. And so she smiled./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""My, my. You are worse than me in my period." She joked. Her smile then disappeared. "But seriously now. We've got trouble again."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What kind of trouble?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Our forces on Nepal have spotted the Princess there. They are trying to capture her, but they can't overwhelm her small army of villagers."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Hmm... that means that they are using Wujing's help for that."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sombra put a hand on her chin. "They didn't spot Wujing on the group. But we do know that he's with them. The thing is, that they don't know where."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What do you want Talon to do? Send a rescue party? Recover Nepal?" Akande said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Yes. We left a great amount of our forces there." Sombra said in a matter of fact,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We've already had a successful rescue attempt from part of the survivors. We cannot allow ourselves to get weaker sending a party to Nepal. It was the first place we dominated, but it nospan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanlonger has any potential for Talon. We used Sanzang's power to invade Busan at the Festival."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But if they manage to rescue Sanzang, then the Princess will learn more of her power!"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That we know. But think about this. If the Princess learns all of her power. If she awakens everything about that ancient magic, then Talon will be more powerful than before when we free him." Akande said turning to Sombra./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I know you want to free him. Everyone has their motives. But you promised to follow the Council's decisions. And it decided to leave Nepal out of our strongholds. It is far away and far too hard and expensive to send resources an troops there." He said, taking gently Sombra's hand and guiding her to the door. Sombra only listened, keeping quite./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""The council knows that we have a great numbers of troops there. In fact, the Council as about to call them off, but all of our communications attempts didn't work. And then we got intel about the Princess being there."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That's why you decided to leave those troops there? To see if they can capture the Princess?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. But if they are not successful, we can replace the troops we lost. This organization has so much influence. We can recruit the lost number in a day or two. Especially since our way to transform civilians, guards, warriors and fighters into royal and efficient Talon Troops is extremely effective and productive. If you cannot think on anything else than Nepal, then do something else. Go and study the books that Moira stole before she joined."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""If you say so."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Now, go and get out of my chambers." Akande said closing the door in front of Sombra's face. /span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"She sighed and decided to get something to eat. When she was near her room, she started hearing music and singing. She approached the music and arrived to Moira's room. Opening a bit the door, she saw Moira using a yellow Hanbok, with white sleeves and pants, blue lines covering the edges of the Hanbok, white boots. On her neck was a collar made of rounded brown spheres. The sleeves got different colors: yellow on the shoulders, green, blue and red to the elbow, then yellow and at the end of the long sleeves, extending beyond the hands, white./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sombra also caught sight of the mask Moira was wearing: a red mask with flaming eyes. She saw the way Moira moved, and saw too Siebren watching Moira dance./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""The dance is called Talchum." A voice said behind her. Turning around, Sombra found Reaper standing behind her. "You should not bother the distressed wife while she dances." He said, taking her aside from the door and closing it without a sound./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What she was doing there?" Sombra asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Isn't your job to know everything?" He said venomsly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Well, she was dancing the Talchum. A dance which tells a story. But I'm asking why she's doing it."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Because her husband can recognize her more intensely that way." Reaper said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Really? I thought the old man always recognized her when she approached him."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Not always. But with this dance, Siebren stays calm and can actually speak, though in a more metaphorical way that comes from the song."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You know a lot of her and her husband." Sombra said, not asking but stating a fact./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. One warning. Do not bother her. Or I span class="Ninguno"emwill /em/spankill you." With that, Reaper turned into mist and flew away, leaving a confused but curious Sombra behind. She decided to return to her room and do some investigation about Hana. Her room was once Hana's room. It was filled with many magical screens showing different places, machines attached to different metal devices on the walls. Different lights were shining across the room: red, green, purple, black, yellow. /span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sombra went to the bed and took a piece of paper. She started walking around the screens and taking notes. The information the screens were giving her are about the Seal that is keeping Talon sealed away. The inscriptions there are a bit hard to decipher, but thanks to her nearly unlimited amount of data she gathered across the world and from different places and ruins, she believes that she can translate those inscriptions./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""span class="Ninguno"emSh'rityu ahg'lev'dt mohs'tyre./em/span" She said aloud. "Hmm... difficult to get the original idea or that it make sense. 'span class="Ninguno"emSeal to Return never./em/span'" She said and then sighed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Having problems, Sombra?" A voice said from behind. She turned around and saw Max entering the room./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You could say so. But nothing I can't handle."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Our data about those transcriptions says that there are two beings who can understand them. One of them is the Princess herself once she's learned all about her power." He said getting closer to Sombra. "The other one is..."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""...an Ancient Machine, which served when Overwatch was still around against Talon. I know. Our spies informed that there is still one active and in good shape, but we cannot find it." She closed her eyes and thought for a moment./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I'm sure that we will find it." Max said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""In the mean time, I'll continue with this. If you've got nothing else to do than to stay here, I'd ask you to leave, Max."/span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Alright then. Let's prepare for this battle!" Wujing said taking his hammer. Just as he turned around, some Talon troops entered and ordered to capture Hana, who was still immersed withspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSanzang's prison./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Wujing activated his shield, protecting himself and the others behind him. Satya turned around the other entrance, and saw more troops entering that way. Bon did too, and started firing while Ashe took distance and provided cover fire./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque took out her pistol and aimed to help Wujing while standing near Hana./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Hana was still connected to the bubble, her body was surrounded by her own power and aura, giving her a golden look./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"More and more shoots were coming to her way. Wujing managed to block them, but his shield's strength is waning, and started to fail and break./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Shield is failing!" He said. Hearing that, Satya channeled her magic on her hands, closing her eye tightly. The she opened both eyes and arms, releasing her magic as she screamed./span/p

A huge blue wall appeared in front of Wujing, taking the damage that was meant to make his shield disappear. He didn't waste time and charged to take care of some Talon's forces. Zhuque used this time to check on Ashe while Bob still fired and Wujing used his ultimate ability to knock down more forces./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"All the while Hana was still glowing. It was near morning, and she was still fighting the bubble./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Jesse's group was in bad shape. Not only Talon crushed them, but also got word that Hana was in fact at the Sanctuary. Because of that intel, the remaining Talon forces left the few survivors to do whatever they pleased. Immediately Jesse went to check on Yuna, who was on the ground hugging another body./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You alright?" He asked limping. It was then that Jesse realized that the body Yuna was hugging was Dae's./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We failed..." Yuna whispered looking up to him. He saw tears on her face. "We've failed to protect her... and now... now they will capture her and kill us all... like they did with the others before..." she sobbed. Jesse knelt to her level./span/p

"I know it hurts... loosing a loved one... but-" Jesse was interrupted when a bright light came from above, just where he Sanctuary is. The light was brighter than the growth sun, but it had two effects on all the people on Nepal./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The first effect, acted on the injured, whether gravely injured, even those at the doorstep of death, got healed and recover their consciousness, including Dae./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The second effect acted on all Talon's forces, making a dark aura to exit their bodies and to dissipate in the process. After that, they fell to the ground unconscious./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Jesse stood, knowing full well what that meant. Yuna's eyes were wide in shock,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Does that mean that...?" She asked but stopped herself./span/p
