Niola spotted Azzeriah and Nel catching up in the distance and had to release a fit of giggles she was only able to restrain for about 3 seconds. It seemed Nel got Azzeriah upset by dragging her with her, and Azzeriah sought revenge by tugging on Nel's wrist. Despite such a commedy routine, the atmosphere was changing around her. Trying to pinpoint the source, her eyes fell upon Sanguis, and then the sky. The sun had already shifted high above their heads, and a warm, invisible blanket already rested over everything. Normally, it would bring joy to everyone to see the sun, but Niola knew it would only bring disaster.

"Could it already be...noon?!"

As though the words were incantations for the unsealing of monstrous forms to escape their slumber, strange presences wrapped theirselves around Sanguis, temporarily concealing his soul from view. Whatever was causing such an occurance to happen, Niola knew the occasion would not be a pleasant one. Tightening all her muscles and spreading out her right leg and arm out while keeping her whole left side in a defensive position, Niola waited to see what the creatures planned to do. They had already engulfed is body in an obsidian cloak, yet they didn't seem finished with their ominous plot just yet.

"Huh? What are they doing here?" This time, the words didn't even get a chance to leave her lips before blood spurted in all directions. Blood-curdling screams echoed all around them, yet it did not phase the demons that caused the crimson shower to cover the green path before them. As though warning them of the danger the monsters could havoc, some of the weaker plants withered instantly as the immobile bodies flopped next to them, permeating the area around them with the vile aura of what called itself Alateser, a shade.

"I don't care what name despicable monsters such as yourselves would dub yourselves as, just let go of Nel!" Niola bellowed, her golden eyes flaring. "Sanguis, it would have been nice if you told us about your little predicament earlier, but right now...I won't allow those creatures hurt my friend!"

Niola hesitated when she blurted out the last word, but she knew the "border" that kept her away from the "real" world had to be shattered. For Cyr, for Azzeriah, for Nel -- for everyone that dared to get close to her, she had to do something to protect them. "I won't lose anyone important to me again!" At that, Niola brought out her Twilight Blades, illuminated by a heavenly light, like the reflection of the sun's brilliance itself. Grinning cunningly, Niola focused on the wind whizzing pass her in all directions, leading them to the tip of each blade. Bouncing on each toe to the sound of the wind building in momentum, Niola waited for the chance to strike. Then, once she had built up enough power to satisfy her need, Niola tapped both her heels upon the ground and, after shifting her body into a position similar to a squat, rocketed towards Sanguis with immense speed.

"Taaake this!" Niola cried out, making sure to avoid Nel at any cost.

((OOC: I shall leave now. D: Please be kind to my character and don't get her killed. :/ Some moves you can say she does: A spinning attack where Niola rapidly twists her feet so that she looks somewhat like a whirlwind, only with blades sticking out (only if Nel is safe). Of course, fly in the air and release thin tornadoes from above (only when Nel is safe). Anything seen with twinblades (or two blades) that is flashy and deals with wind. xD Or you can just swat her and make Niola fall unconscious for a week. o-o; But it has to be done in a flashy way! xD ))
