>>5256895You all move out towards the ruins where you had seen Byleth and Solon fighting. The other Black Eagles are already there, but none of them are interfering with the raging battle going on, opting to instead take cover from the rogue blasts of magic Solon has been sending out. The Dark Mage is sending out wave after wave of powerful magic. As a mage yourself, you’re able to sense the sheer amount of energy behind each of his attacks. Any one of them you’d be hard pressed to defend against.
The Professor though, dodges these attacks as if they were being spun by a mere amateur. You’ve seen her fight plenty of times before, but nothing like this. Her counterattacks with the Sword of the Creator are more precise and carry with them enough force to slice through the enemy’s magic. If Solon is a class above you, The Professor is an entire world ahead. Wherever Solon had managed to send her with his magic, she’s seemingly come back twice as powerful.
And her hair…
The battle rages for a few more moments, until suddenly, it ends with a slash of the Professor’s sword. Solon staggers back with a spray of black blood. He mutters something to the Professor you’re unable to hear, before collapsing onto his back, dead.
Just like that, it’s over. You rush over to your teacher, along with the rest of your classmates.
“That hair…and those eyes…what happened to you?” Edelgard asks.
“The Goddess has gifted me her power.” The Professor says, as though it were the most normal thing in the world to occur. No one says anything, staring at her as though she’s lost her mind. After a few long seconds of silence, where you’re waiting for some sort of clarification, she topples over face-first on the floor, unconscious.
“I-is she okay…?” Dorothea asks.
“I…think she’s asleep.” Edelgard sighs. “Can someone please carry her?”
