Note: It's really my day today (the 10th of Feb). Kinda sucked, but oh well. Valentine's Day will be worse I think.

Chapter 75: The Other End Of The Spectrum (Is Strength)

Tinsir coughed up all of the water in her lungs, her arms, and body convulsing under the strain. Water pouring from her lips, she looked up, and a look of hate, and wrath crossed her face. Her eyes turned a strange yellow, and her wings turned a darker black. In a moment she was on her feet, and heading upstairs.

_+_+_+_+_+

She ransacked her Esthar home, and looked for a certain article of clothing. She over turned drawers, and shelves, and anything that could possibly hold a outfit.

Tinsir: *Dammit, where the hell is it?* (looks to under bed) *How... typical...*

She stripped out of her wet clothes, and put on the skimpy outfit (think Shiva style). The black thong was adorned with silver feminine armor. It clung to her body like a second skin, and the attached cloak was of black satin. A long sword was attached to her hilt, and a silver mermaidish crown on her head (great for throwing). She put on her necklace of black, and black boots. Time to rock.

_+_+_+_+_+

Tinsir (to Squall, who is nervously pacing the hall): Get ready, we're leaving.

Squall: Where the f*** were you?

Tinsir: Dealing with something. Get ready; I'll get the others.

Squall: ...

Tinsir: NOW!

Squall: Tell why we're leaving all so soon.

Tinsir: Becasue if we don't hurry, we'll lose. Happy now? Hades has troops coming in from the west, and the armies of the north are going to join forces with him. We need to head them off NOW.

Squall: Don't be so hasty. Think strategy, not speed.

Tinsir: I have a plan, now go. Put on your clothes I gave you.

Squall: Those things? Are you serious?

Tinsir: .....

Squall: Whatever. (goes inside)

_+_+_+_+_+

Tinsir (sits on ground, and puts fingers gently on the temples on her head): ~Everyone, get ready. Prepare for battle, and our departure. We leave in five minutes. Let's hustle.~

Meanwhile...

Zell, and Quistis in lounge hear a voice, and Zell turns to find out what it is. He sees Tinsir, and goes to say something, but she fades.

Also...

Selphie, and Irvine are making out, and Irvine sees Tinsir in the corner of his eyes. They pause, and listen, and Irvine throws a pillow at the illusion. It goes through her, and they get up, getting ready.

_+_+_+_+_+

Dewn runs to her mother, and Tinsir picks up her little one. Ellone holds Aelin in her arms, and they walk to thier room, a fire inside Tinsir's eyes. Nothing would get in her way now.

_+_+_+_+_+

Tinsir held both of her children, talking to them about what was going to happen. Dewn's facewent blank, and she looked up at her mother in fear.

Dewn (tugging on her cape): Momma, you know what's going to happen, right?

Tinsir: Yes. That's why you need to do what I asked you to.

Dewn: But-

Tinsir: Don't say it. Everything will be okay. I know what will happen, and you need to take care of your brother while I am gone.

Dewn: ......

Aelin (sputters, and spits): ....

Tinsir: And you young man need to behave. I heard what you did to Aunt Ellone while I was out.

Squall (armor clad, and blushing): What did he do?

Dewn: He bit her boob. She was burping him, and he squirmed until her got there, and (opens mouth wide, and snaps it shut) chomp.

Tinsir: Naughty boy. Don't do as your fa- nevermind... Don't do that. I know you understand me.

Squall: ... Do I have to wear this dorky thing?

Tinsir: (sighs) No. Put on your regular clothes, and I'll transfer the power. Men are such babies.

Squall (goes behind dressin curtain): Thank Hyne.

Tinsir: (sigh) ...

Squall: ... Oh...

Tinsir: Dewn, can you please take Aelin to Ellone? She's in the hall. Goodbye my little ones. (kisses them) I ove you both.

Dewn: Byes (grunts as she picks up Aelin) Lay off the chocolate milk, bruddah.

Tinsir: ! Chocolate?

Dewn: Uncle Laguna gave us some.

Squall: Bye, guys.

Tinsir: Goodbye. I love you two...

Dewn: (leaves) Bye...
