The Spire.

[Frisk E. Coyote]

Without warning, a large crystal ball charged with mana crashed into the side of Ryoji's face, shattering and letting loose a small, contained explosion. Lacia's fangs were bared, her eyes glowing cyan as her trembling paws dug into the dragon's arm with her black claws. "L-Leave Katt alone-" She grunted, and the remaining five crystal balls slammed into his back, one after the other, leaving sizable explosions of pure mana. "I- I never asked her w-where she got her c-cute shirt-" She screwed one of her eyes shut in pain, and though she was stuttering with fear, she smiled a little at Katt, and her speechless friend, Nero, who was roaring things at her that she simply could not hear over the thrashing of her own frightened heart. Her naturally large pool of mana had kick-started her consciousness the moment she had been knocked out, so though she was still a little disoriented from Ryoji's strike, she was capable of action.
