Yzeira tightened his stance.
"No, for once, you're right." A sudden ferocity burned in the man's eyes as they snapped from Alexis to Jenso. He slowly reached for the collar of his coat and grasped it tightly. "I've lost more than I care to admit, today." He tore the plastic-like fabric down, tearing it from his body and tossing it aside. The vicious winds wound up from the scathing energy of Yzeira's aura threw up up into the air until it was lost to the space surrounding the floating tower. "My projects, my family, and now, even my loved one fades. All because of you." A pulse of energy erupted from the surface of Yzeira's skin, tearing his shirt to shreds until his upper body was bare. The reddish hues in his hair darkened until they were nearly black. "My pride, my composure, the footholds I'd so dearly clung to in spire of the wretchedness that brims from every pore in my history." His voice began to boom louder. He rose his hands slowly until they were parallel to one another. A well of infinite energy began to rise up from the pits of his darkened soul. Alvios began to float the the ground, unable to move. His light form faded and he returned to normal. A similar effect overtook his other allies, all but Zios, who couldn't move, and refused to let Alexis go.
"Uh..." Jeff muttered aloud, slowly falling to the ground next to his allies, "Jenso?"
The only one who could stand in the wake of the gathering storm was none other than Jenso.
