To save him

Rhea held her burning arm where the force had hit her, she'd managed to balance herself on the ground, before turning towards Azure, who stood in front of his comrades. 

He stood firm and tall with a mildly broad build, dark long hair that went past his shoulders, his usually friendly and charming smile was non existent on his face at the moment, his chocolate brown eyes showing sternness as he stared at Rhea like she was an enemy that ought be dealt with. 

However, apart from his cold demeanor and sternness, nothing changed about him from the last time she'd seen him, he still was as good looking as ever, with features that were as beautiful as the immortal he was. Nonetheless, his presence no longer sparked any form of excitement that always bubbled in her whenever she saw him in the past. All she felt was blandness.
