"We can't just let this happen!!" Haru watched tiredly, wrapping her arm around Fox's waist, as a dark-haired human soldier looked around, aghast. "What- this shelter won't protect us- and even if it does, then what?! We let them come in here to finish us off?! Penned in like rats?!" The soldier was feral; foaming at the mouth, eyes wide, desperate as they turned to Haru.
"You- you're meant to be a hero from another world- you won't survive this either, none of you will-!!"
"At least I'll die with my lover," Fox sighed, leaning deeper into her, Haru's, side, eyelids heavy. "Not the first time I've been locked up, waiting to die," She added, and Haru swallowed as the soldier glared at her.
"How are you calm?!"
"I've done all I can," Haru whispered, and the soldier shook his head, hyperventilating.
"I haven't!!"
"What?"
"That's- elves, right?" The soldier snapped, and Haru blanched, seeing the seriousness in his eyes. "It's when we access the magic in our souls- it's possible, so I can, right?! How does magic work for you, Haru?!"
"When I use my abilities, I just…" Haru thought, shrugging. "Think…? It's like an extension of myself."
"Then all I have to do is think," William snapped, closing his eyes, and Haru sighed, closing her eyes as the lights winked out, and the world began to shake.
