Through the smog-covered sky, Insignious could see Catastor descending from the air after her attempted retaliation. His eyes burned with anger towards the girl- not only would her attack have threatened herself, but her clanmates as well. Now was not the time to play with fire.
Still, now was also not the time to reprimand her. The flying assailant seemed to have left, and Insignious didn't want to waste a single moment of this respite.
Shaking his head to settle his crashing ocean of thoughts, the leader turned and hurriedly scooped up the nearest body. Through the crowds and hysterical mobs, he disappeared beneath the smoke in the direction of the Clinic.
Just then, stepping out of the medical home was Tadi, who fell to her knees in the nearby street and cried into her hands. Jeremiah had passed only moments before, with Tadi's hand squeezing his desperately. It was only just a few hours ago that she'd been dancing with him, laughing with her sisters as he spun them around and kissed their cheeks affectionately. And suddenly he was gone; without opening his eyes or speaking a word.
As Insignious took his leave for the Clinic, Etoah stayed behind to shepherd everyone in appropriate directions. "Get to the Clinic if you are injured. Everyone else, go home. Get inside and stay there. Sleep. Without rest, you are no good to anyone. Insignious will see to us in the morning and explain where we will go from here. He will tell you what happened this night. I know it may be difficult, but...we must trust him. No one leaves the clan tonight. Pray for your brothers and sisters that are hurt. Pray we'll rise victorious from this."
Gently, he urged everyone onwards though staying behind himself. "Kahu!" He shouted, his voice breaking with exhaustion. A few warriors stayed with him and continued the search for their brother.

Akihito gave Cain a tender, grateful smile. "You'll never understand how I missed you..."
Taking in a bracing breath of air, the demon nodded. "I can run." Slowly, as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, the ethereal glow from his skin became apparent. He was glad for the light. "Lead the way."
