The bolt sends Id flying backwards. He staggers to his feet, spitting and snarling although obviously somewhat shocked at the power of the blow. "There's no Fei here, woman."

[worldmother]

Unmoving, she lets her chin dip, gaze catching his and holding it steady. "You know who I am. You've known me before Fei, before Id, before any of this came to be."

Slowly, she starts to lower her weapon, but refuses to take her eyes off him. Taking a step closer, her "Just like you know that none of this is real. That it's all happened before, and that you no longer exist."

[reincarnationception]

"You're out of your damn mind, lady."

Id cracks his neck, loosening his shoulders. "Out of my way."

[worldmother]

"Elly."

The way she speaks as she corrects him is Curt and almost percussive, punctuated by a distinct CRACK as the ground underneath Id rises to meet him. Jutting upward in jagged slates of earth, it encases him from the chest down, locking down both feet and hands.

She hates this so much, and while her expression hasn't changed, there's a flicker of an apology reflected back in her eyes. She's sorry, but she won't be able to get through to him if he can still charge at her at any time.

"Think for a moment." She says as she takes another careful step forward, her gaze locked with his as she fights yet another battle—one she isn't sure she will win, but has to. "You've seen this battlefield before. You know what is supposed to happen next; now all you need to do is remember."

"Remember, and wake yourself up from this nightmare, Fei."

[reincarnationception]

Id is truly, thoroughly caught. He struggles for a moment, a fiery aura again igniting around him, before finally giving up.

"Man, what do you see in him anyway? What a boring woman."

finds the rudest icon she has for this

[worldmother]

She watches him slowly resign himself to his fate, waiting until then to begin walking forward again. There are a thousand apologies that she wants to make in that instance, but Elly doesn't give herself the opportunity to do so. After this. After she's made sure to pull him out of whatever nightmarescape they've found themselves in, and into her arms.

"That's a silly question," She answers back, her countenance shifting subtly with every step. Insult her all you want, Id. It's baseless and pointless, and the two of them know that.

A quiet smile spreads across her lips as she stops in front of him. "Say what you will about me. He is the man I love, and have loved as long as I can remember. You and him are one and the same, two sides of the same coin." Pausing, she reaches up for him, letting her hand rest gently against his cheek.

"I am going to take you as far away from here as I can, but I need your help."

[reincarnationception]

The world seems to lurch and shift as Id, Kahn, Grahf, and everything fades away, leaving a sleeping Fei in their wake.

[worldmother]

Watching the world flicker and fade away, the embers of the past finally snuffed out, Elly feels a very distinct weight against him as the ground she raised fall away. She's quick to catch him, wrapping her arms around Fei as she slowly eases him down with her.

All that fighting, and he's out like a light. It's so like him that she can't help but chuckle gently.

"I thought I told you to wake up, not fall asleep on me," She teases softly, resting her forehead against his.
