Althea was not one to be shaken by needless emotions, especially at crucial moments. Ever since she was a child, she'd never really been like others of her age. She never cried even when a situation demanded it. She never complained even when she was pushed to her limits. When others in the Seneschal family broke during training, she always pushed on mindlessly… mechanically… to her absolute breaking point…
Nothing could move her.
At least until now. Experiencing something as surreal and as incongruous as she had would leave anyone shaken to their core.
Althea didn't even know what she particularly felt at the moment. A ringing noise droned in her ears as she stared at her shaking hands. She couldn't hear a single thing. Not even the ear-rupturing sounds of the tumultuous clashes from the fight in the sky.
