The blaze of fire and lightning that left her at the entrance of Timber was one that sparked the attention of more than one patrol. It wasn't any sort of stealthy landing, and she didn't intend on hiding her presence as she landed on her feet and began her paced traverse through the streets of the town. Shots glanced from the quartet of orbs that came as initial contact was made from the soldiers, only inspiring her anger as eyeballs within the spheres opened up and frantically stared at a group of five that'd found her. In the way...In the way of her finding where they were as her Guardian Force pushed flash upon flash of someone being slammed against the wall, as the resonating call of another ice-based spell rang through her ears even though she wasn't there. A battle against something harsh, brutal...yet, too hazy at the moment to see right...And she wasn't there yet.
She needed to get there.
Which proved to be the reason for such hostility as the first of five soldiers that questioned her presence ended up smashed to the ground with a Blizzara spell to the face and brute force of an orb to follow up. Maybe she'd slept for so long that the common courtesy of "questions first, murder later" had inevitably left her conscious for the time being in favor of ending the little trip that she'd made to get all the way here.
"OPEN FIRE!"
The kill order given, once flick of her finger pushed ice magic through her quartet. In a swirl of the four orbs, a simple blizzard spell created a cage of ice around her to keep the bullets from hitting at the cost of shattering it instead. More than enough time to send one of the soldiers to the ground with armor melting into skin with the force of a Fira spell at such a proximity. The next attempt was an Aero spell junctioned at her -- though...
It was useless to stop her, now.
A single orb slammed upon the ground without her conscious effort, soaking in the hostile winds and rendering it inefficient as the cutting blades swirled inside of them as a resulting factor. Confusion struck, with guns reloading to be fired as Eika pointed to the next of the trio remaining, a smile finally fell upon her lips as lightning build up and crackled between the three that weren't busy as her foot lifted up to rest upon the fourth. It was so...liberating to be awake. So calming to feel that rush of blood and beat of the heart that left her body feeling light.
"Thundara."
The shot of lightning through her quartet shot straight through one of the soldiers, leaving him to look down in sheer terror as a burning hole through his body bought him to shock, and finally to the ground. This sight? Perhaps too much for a "trained" war mongrel, prompting one of the two remaining soldiers to run off and leave the other one looking rather...pitiful. Oh, how sad it must be for a gun to be pointed, shot, and watch as the shots went in vain as those orbs moved like a swarm of bees to deflect them from their epicenter. One step forward meant one step back from him, until there really wasn't anywhere left to go except for eventual ground from a loss of footing. Kicking the orb up from the ground that she'd been moving inch by inch the hole time with the heel of her left foot, Eika let it drop down without a care on top of the man and directed the other three to float above him as she waited.
"Good evening. Now...Can you tell me where my friends are? A few students that came here from the Garden? They'll probably have on the uniforms, or you're causing them trouble. One of those few things. Or perhaps a man with a pet bitebug? Any of these ringing a bell?"
A poor show of a bravado came as he struggled to try and gain his freedom as she pressed her foot down on her orb and ice creeped from the orb to the surrounding areas of his body to keep him down. Such defiance! She'd think he might even try to hit her if she was so inclined to give him a chance...
"Why would I tell a lapdog where her fellow bitches are? Even if you kill me-"
A sight cut his words off, pronounced. Aggravated.
"Then I will."
But was it a spell to off him? No...No, not what she did to this one in particular. It was instead the gathering of the three orbs to rotate in a circle above the one that laid on him as she stepped off of it. It was the Extraction of everything. From the magic he had, tearing wind and ice spells from his body, to going beyond that.
Life.
Cure.
Protect.
Shell.
Simple support-based or healing-based spells. They all had sources, just like fire and ice and lightning. And in this case? She drew from their source. Not even the breath in him to scream as she tore literal life from his body to pull into those orbs, soft light after soft light drawn into the quartet without end until all that remained was a husk of the man that referred to her as a dog. A step over the body, and Eika continued on with a whistle in her step as she picked up the pace to a light skip. No need to have any more casualties as she began her journey deeper into the town, correct?~
