Re: cressida/eden/open! | right after the explosion.
The girl had turned to look at her. She looked familiar enough through the flames. Or it could've been a trick of the heat. A moment later, she leaped forward, bringing her arms in front of her to guard her face from the flames.
She landed beside the girl and looked off in the direction of the man who was cowering beneath the table. "Faram above," she cursed under her breath. It was getting unbearably hot. "Get up," she said moving toward the man when the archer hesitated. Her gloved hand came under his arm and yanked him to his feet. "I'm going to clear the way," she said before turning to Cressida. "You. Look for a barrel of water."
A moment later, she curled her hand into a fist at her sides. She could feel the energy gather from each end of her body, flow up and then down through her arm. Inhaling calmly, she slid a foot behind her before she thrust her fist forward releasing a controlled ball of energy that blast through the fallen beam that blocked their way. "Go now," she said shoving the man forward.
