Battle and Gratitude

***LEI***

Artemis, Tim, Blake, Kyle and I stood at the lobby of MME building. Outside were the defeated members of the Sect that tried to stop us from getting inside. We were currently being surrounded by other black clothed individuals who were hindering our advance to the upper floors.

"Trust me," Artemis said. "You better step back if you don't want to end up like your comrades outside, or worse."

I could see the others swallow at her words. It probably had to do with how she delivered it since she sounded really scary. And anyone who could sense auras or magical power could definitely feel how much hers were flailing about. But nobody moved to retreat and instead started attacking us.
