During the whole confrontation, Fxeni remained silent. He didn't want to say anything as to not give any advantage to Doll Master, but he had a hard time of it. He glanced at the townsfolk; all were recognized, if a bit changed. Their clothing was ragged and worn, nothing like they were before. Their faces were thin, and their bodies tired. Their eyes were empty, as if their very soul was gone.
His heart sank as he heard Riagan's threat to Doll Master, and her initiative to send the children forward due to it pleased him less still. His mind raced, trying to find a solution that would prevent anyone from getting hurt.
There was none.
As the Deku Nut went off, Fxeni acted quickly. Pressing his feet to the seat of the Cheval, he quickly gathered mana under them and sent himself up into the air, his trajectory aiming right at Doll Master. He pulled out his short spear and grasped it tight with both his hands, aiming it right at her as he descended.
