"I believe you are right," Audemar spoke, "getting to know the vermin may consider helpful."

Organna would endure as much as she could, until she felt that Merry was ready to cast her spell, "Heh, alright big guy, you wanna keep that axe so bad? Then have it!!" she says as she kicks him down and jumps clear, leaving the dominatrix and the Viking right in Merry's path.

Glitter and Moonlight would frantically move away as well, not wanting to get caught up in the attack, "GET CLEAR!!!" Glitter shouts through his feral telepathy.

All would become quiet as Merry's spell reaches its peak of strength, the Forest Elf becoming surrounded by a golden seal and engulfed in a blinding spiral of golden energy.

"With the Eighty Eight heavenly bodies..."

"Shining!... Toronto Metria!!!"

Merry shouts as her eyes fly open to release a glow comparable to that of the sun itself, the stars and planets visible in the bodies of Merry's spell converging and pummeling the assassins in a barrage of bone breaking blows that showered down on them one after the next in almost instantaneous succession.

By the time Merry's attack was finished and the spell played out in its entirety, the assassins would look like they had just faced a tornado head on and had been hit by every scrap of debris inside it. Down for the count was a heavy understatement. They were alive, if only barely, but they would certainly not be getting up on their own for a while. And even when they did have the strength to get up, there was no way they'd be in any shape to do any kind of work without a good long rest.

It would take several seconds before Merry came back from the exertion of this spell, but when she did, she'd close her eyes again as the golden glow faded from them and pinged the area with her earrings again. She'd instantly notice that Raven was worse for wears again and would scramble to get to her again, sensing that Raven was in dire need of healing again and setting to work on just that as quickly as she could, "I'm so sorry, Raven... Are you ok?... Here... Let me treat your wounds again..." she says apologetically, as though the damage Raven suffered from being too close to Will's attack on the Juggernaut was her fault. Raven could talk her down about it when she wasn't at risk of falling to pieces like a broken China doll.

Raven would feel the eerie silence as she felt a magic unlike anything she had felt before. She would watch the planets that were once visible fly towards a certain target somewhere far off. She hadn't known what had happened, but she would remember to ask the others later. Though Raven's form would now take over their body completely, and the barrier should have been enough to heal Will of most if not all of his injuries. Though with that said, as the barrier dissipated, the black and the cracks on Raven's body would spread much more quickly than before, making up for lost time. Once the barrier was gone, she would collapse onto the ground, doing her best not to move. The only reason why she hand't turned to ash was because she hadn't touched the fire. She would shakily hold up her hand as she saw the cracks on it, and all over her body.

While laying on the ground, she would look with her eyes to see Merry rushing up to her, and Raven would do her best to give one of her cheeky smiles in an attempt of reassurance that she would be fine once healed. She lowered her arm back to the ground, making sure none of her movements were quick so as to not cause her body to crumble. Though she would be smiling at Merry.

"I-It's not your fault Merry...B-But for future reference...T-This is what happens to w-witches when we g-go near fire...I-I'm not dead because I-I didn't touch it...b-but still..."

She says glancing at Will, trying to check and make sure he was OK from what little she could do on the ground. She just sighs and closes her eyes, trying to maintain her composure and keep her body from shaking so much that it broke on it's own. She wasn't about to refuse help, and she would have to repay Merry later, but right now she was a cough or a breeze away from breaking. She would look at Will one more time, smiling even still.

"B-By the way...N-Nice move....just make sure I-I'm not near you next t-time...ok?"

She says half jokingly and half serious, trying to lighten the mood for everybody.

Will continued his fire breathing attack for a good minute. If he hadn't had stopped when he did, Raven would've closed the barrier around them, the barrier filling up with fire and killing Raven for sure. But luckily Will stopped when he did. Then Merry's attack came, battering them down, shattering the glass holes in the Pyromaniac's mask before senting him falling down back into the hole. The viking tried to fight it, but eventually gave in and passed out. The bear, poor thing, after the onslaught from Glitter and Moonlight cause enough injury to it that the damage from merry's spell put the bear down. The dominatrix endured the most out of the assassins, watching the Juggernaut burn and crying out before passing out. The Juggernaut was the only one unaffected by Merry's spell, By the time the spell came around, The Juggernaut was reduced to ashes and swept away with the wind, the only thing left his the Juggernaut's warped metal face mask, glowing red hot.

When Merry ran over to heal to Raven, Will's strength gave out, Will laying back on he ground, breathing deeply and heavily. When Raven spoke, a bright red light surrounded Will. Once it disappeared, Will was now back to is originally from, his pants in tatters and his shirt gone except for one small shard of cloth. Will's coat was also torn a bit, but mend able, unlike his shirt and pants. Will's body was covered in gashes, cuts, and other injuries, as well as openings where bones were sticking out at one point or bones and joints visibly out of place. Will coughed, blood shooting out of his mouth and onto his chest, unable to hardly move or breath. Will laid still in a growing pool of his blood on the ground, staring into the dawn sky.

Audemar closed his eyes after his glace averted from Lwyncelyne and slowly fell into a state of mind where a memory laid in the back of his mind.

"Please, we'll take anything." a soft voice called out to an older soul.
The hardy man shook his head,

"I don't care, Boy. I will not waste my money on you."

"Audemar, my child," a woman called out to the kid and he ran to her, he hugged the woman as she said, "to humiliate yourself, you lose your pride.
Other, kinder, folk will pity us instead."

Audemar felt a heavy weight on his shoulders from the reminder of his life as a beggar.

Audemar placed one hand on Taff's neck and the other on his face. His hands started to glow and Taff felt the weight of injury lift from his body. Once he was healed fully, Audemar let go of Taff but not long after, he felt the pain he lifted from Taff stumbled to Lwyncelyne.

Audemar felt heavy and he couldn't tell what was going on. He felt empty as a chill ran on his skin, hoping something would rescue him from this familiar feeling.

The sorcerer weakly took whatever was saving him from the weight on his chest and drank it faster. As the juice slid down his throat, Audemar felt light again and could finally breathe. He gasped for air, "I suppose this is what I receive for using beyond a century of dark magic to even help those who suffer, die in peace."
