A person serving as a 'Guardian' was certainly a departure from the norm so far, and if he was moving around it might be harder to find him. Then again maybe not, if what Goldlewis' had heard about the man seeking battles was true. And though his invincibility would pose a problem at first, Primrose was of the mind that all power like that came with exceptions. They just needed to figure out how to get around it, whether it was a ritual to perform or divine power they needed to obtain. Further speculation would have to wait, as trouble found them like it usually did. [color=D34C25]"That was quick,"[/color] Primrose mused, glancing at the burning tents. Was this part of the show? Surely not. And the sudden appearance of huge monsters definitely wasn't either, as someone who seemed to be the ringmaster moved to engage them. And was that Zenkichi down there? With all of the Seekers in the Forbidden Kingdom gathered, hopefully the could help handle this before the damage was too great. Primrose herself joined in after following Goldlewis and Roland as they leapt from the terrace they'd been dining on. She alighted behind the front lines while the others charged ahead. If there were ever a time that the power of Sealticge could be put on full display, it was here - with a multitude of allies. So before anything else, Primrose danced. She performed Sealticge's Seduction first for an audience of one, that being herself. She stepped and spun, running one hand up her opposite arm and across her chest as she gracefully dipped her head. It was too late to spread Zenkichi's Rakukaja to everyone, but she followed his lead with a defense buff of her own. She swiftly and smoothly transitioned into the Mole Dance, the low and short movements improving not just her own defense, but the defense of every single person she perceived as being on her side against these monsters. The Seekers felt the familiar sense of Primrose's dance buff take effect on them - and so did the Sun Guard, the members of the Grimm Troupe, and the city's adventurers that had stepped up to help and the circus' audience that had yet to flee (including a certain witch). More so than the extra defense, the defenders could also feel some of their stamina return to them. [i]That's new,[/i] Primrose thought to herself, feeling the sensation as well. She'd generally tried not to get into real trouble during her stay, so even though she'd be dancing in the city this was the first time she'd been dancing in [i]battle[/i]. She took full advantage of the little re-invigoration, concentrating the flame of a pyromancy in her hand. The fire burned hot, grew condensed, and then reignited in a plume of dark black flames. Part of those fighting to defend the city was the young woman that had just shared part of a meal with the Seekers. A little disappointed at what she perceived to be a trick gone wrong with the tent caught fire, Kayna has stuck around to see if she could help - so when the monsters invaded she was in a prime position to join the front line. With a shrill whistle she summoned her own monster, its speed and powerful legs letting it swiftly climb into the city proper from where it had been waiting. Though no where near the size of the violent giants, her blue scaled raptor was easily twice the size of a human. It weaved through the fleeing citizens and came to a halt beside her, and she wasted no time climbing onto the saddle strapped to its back. "Ride on! Let's go, Avmar!" she said, and her raptor let out a reptilian bark. [url=https://i.imgur.com/4OaE1GP.jpeg]Kayna and Avmar[/url] sped into battle, the latter leaping at Ralph and slashing deep with its huge talons. With a growl Ralph went to slap them away, but the Velocidrome was too fast for it - especially with his rider guiding him. Kayna and her monstie were back on the ground, evading the massive wolf's claws and running to attack the next giant when a huge black fireball struck Ralph in the chest. The Black Fire Orb exploded on impact, spreading its dark flames over Ralph's fur. It howled in pain and shook itself as though it were wet rather than on fire, managing to reduce the burning area to singe and smolder. Its crazed eyes searched for its latest assailant, but Primrose was farther than Ralph could reach without eating through the attackers between them. Naturally it began to try that, snapping its fangs together menacingly and swiping at those closest to it. Meanwhile, Primrose was already preparing another fireball.
