Tez didn't have the slightest clue on what to make of Trish's sudden outburst of nervousness. While she did have a point, it was rather quiet for such a long night. Tez was starting to get a little paranoid that something was about to begin any second. "Did something happen during your dance with Sasha?" Tez asked curious about Trish's sudden change in attitude. Tez looked around for Sasha to see if he could see what she was up to. Once he caught sight of her she seemed to be doing the normal thing a celebrity would be doing, talking and entertaining her guests.
Sasha locked eyes with Tez, she noticed that he was looking over at her. She just smiled and waved. Tez diverted his attention back to his partner to try and find out what was making her so high strung.

"What? No! We just danced, what else would we do?" Trish gave a nervous laugh as she tried her best to remain nonchalant, a poor attempt. She quickly turned away from Sasha's direction as Tezerett caught her attention. She just smiled and waved, at least she wasn't making her way over again."You uhm, wouldn't happen to have a cigarette I could bum do you?" She turned her attention back to the man, finally noticing his heightened sense of alertness. Had she made him do that?
The woman took a deep breath in order to calm herself a bit, but she felt nothing short of a nicotine packed stick would do the trick. ’Just try to focus on something else…’ As she tried to make another survey of the bustling ballroom, she found she was having a lot more trouble with it then before. Her sweep of what should have been the entire room only seemed to fall on the cat-like woman.
As she stood there beside Tezerett minutes seemed to drag on into days, at this rate the night would never end. She needed something, anything to allow her to leave the dance just so she could avoid another run in with Sasha. More than anything she wished the threat would just go ahead and present itself so she could finish her job and leave.

Tez just smiled as he reached into the inner pocket of his jacket. There he felt the familiar cardboard box the housed his cigarettes and lighter. Taking it out he handed it to Trish. "Bring them back, only take one, try not to take all night." With that Tez decided it was time to join the party.
Tez walked up to Sasha and sparked up conversation. "So would it be too much to ask for you and your teams autographs? Cause I do have to say it is quite the special occasion when you get to personally witness the magic of the Blue Moon Circus." Sasha smiled at Tez as she nodded. "Find me before the end of the night and I'll be sure to get the whole cast to give you their signatures." Tez couldn't believe his luck. The crew back home would never believe this. Motioning to the floor Tez asked the ringleader if she would care for a dance. Graciously accepting the hand Tez walked onto the dance floor and took the lead.

Trish quickly grabbed the pack and nodded in acknowledgment to the mans terms. ”I won’t…” Her tone was far off as her attention strayed from Tezerett and back to Sasha. Her focus never left the woman as she quickly made her way across the room to a set of French glass doors which led to the outdoor balcony. She welcomed the brisk evening air, happy to be away from the chaos of a social life, even if it was just for a little bit. Trish flipped open the top of the carton and pulled a single menthol cigarette from it before placing it between her lips. She was pleasantly surprised to find the lighter inside the pack, not thinking the fire wielder would exactly have a need for it. Maybe she wasn’t the only one that bummed a cig from time to time. The thought almost seemed to upset her as she struck the lighter and the smell of menthol and tobacco filled the crisp autumn air.
The feeling as smoke and nicotine filled her lungs couldn’t be described as anything short of pure bliss. She let out a content sigh as she sauntered to the end of the balcony to lean against the railing. The next drag she took from the cigarette and the smell of smoke surrounding her drew away any anxiety Sasha had caused her as her thoughts turned back to Tezerett and the evening they spent in the jungle together. He was a pretty good radiator…If he just hadn’t screwed up the entire night. Trish turned her attention back to the ball which was proceeding on inside, trying to find what her partner was up to. To her displeasure she found him dancing with…her. The simple presence of the ringleader caused her to immediately take another deep drag from her cigarette to try to keep her heart from racing once more. Why did she do that to her? It was just a kiss, a trick, it wasn’t anything more. There was no reason to work herself up over it, she could just avoid her for the rest of the evening and then never see her again, easy.
Trish reluctantly took her final drag and pressed the butt of the cigarette against the balcony before flicking it off the edge. She hesitated for a moment, not wanting to throw herself back into the anxiety of social gatherings but she had agreed to Tezerett she wouldn’t be gone long. Besides, with him preoccupied with Sasha, no one was surveying the crowd. With a short sigh she made her way back to the glass doors and pulled them open as she made her way back into the ballroom.

The dance reached its conclusion and Tez gave a bow. Sasha smiled, "Thank you for the wonderful dance, don't forget to come find me at the end of the night." Sasha turned on one foot and returned to the crowd. Tez walked off of the dance floor, he was thinking about how good Sasha was on her feet. Not surprising since she worked in a performance business. From across the room, Tez noticed Trish already returning from her break outside. He was glad to see her returning so quickly, he was worried she would smoke all of the cigs before she was satisfied. Deciding to cut her return in half Tez walked towards Trish in order to meet her half way.
"So now that you have relaxed a little bit, care to join me for that dance?" In that exact moment Tezerrett noticed something very strange. A very strange force was building up behind him. Very few people were able to notice this force, Tez saw that it was mostly the circus members were noticing. Each and every one of them was getting a little more tense as the pressure built up in the room.
About to get paranoid Tez started to hastily walk back to where Dr. Scream was since he was the wealthiest man in the room, he would be a logical target for anyone in the building. Before Tez got very far the next thing he remembered was slamming into some unseen substance and winding up flat on the floor. He was going in such a hurry that it felt as if he was hit with a wall of swinging baseball bats. A little disoriented, Tez got up and started stumbling forward. His hand reached a flat surface that wasn't able to be seen. Pushing hard against it Tez was certain that he was leaning against some kind of force field. Tez increased the heat in his hand against the wall as hot as he could without harming anyone near by, not a budge or a scratch was made to the invisible wall. Tez wasnt sure what to make of it, and very few people were starting to notice it. For now he motioned to Trish to come over to where he was to see what she thought was in front of him.

She didn’t kiss him, why didn’t she kiss him? Trish frowned, confused by the woman’s actions. They seemed so cordial, professional almost. She didn’t understand it and she hated not understanding things. Maybe Sasha knew she was watching the end of their dance and was trying to mess with her. Yes, that’s it. It was another trick, had to be.
Before she could delve even further into her thought up conspiracy, Tezerett had reached her at the edge of the dance floor and was beginning to ask her for a dance once more. She handed his pack back to him, about to reply when she noticed his attention was nowhere near her. Before she could get a response in he was making a bee line for Dr. Scream, though he wasn’t very successful. ”Tezerett wait!” Her warning was too late and Tezerett walked straight into the dome. It must have not been visible to him. How had she not noticed it before? While she had been outside the large dome of energy must have manifested itself about half of the ballroom. She must have been too focused on Tezerett and Sasha to realize it. How stupid of her.
Trish ran over to Tezerett’s side, placing her hands on the dome as well. It didn’t seem to be permeable in any way. ”Oh shit.” She groaned, trying to think of some way to shatter it. Her focus went to those trapped inside the dome, her immediate sights falling on Dr. Scream and the lump man. Next she noticed the select circus members and party goers. The woman’s mind was going a mile a minute as she tried to figure out who was behind it. If she could get to them she could maybe disrupt the barrier. ”Everybody, get out now!” The woman suddenly yelled at the top of her lungs. Now two things would happen. Either the crowd would think she was crazy and stay put, or do what she was hoping and begin to panic. Then she could focus in on the members that weren’t panicked, that could be a possible target. ”You don’t have any ideas for how to get in do you?” She muttered to Tezerett as she continued to focus on the crowd.

Trish's swift reaction was met with curious eyes and whispers. Many of the guests just scoffed in her general direction unamused and unfazed by the danger that could be looming over them all. Tez looked at them all and could understand why they seemed calm. In front of him all he saw was the other guests and Trish yelling at people to get down. While some curious eyes looked around, no one really seemed to think there was a problem. From where Tez was sitting he saw that the guests on the other side of this "wall" didn't even register that Trish had yelled anything.
Leaning closer to Trish, trying to get less disoriented from the initial run in, "I dont think we should cause alarm where there doesnt need to be any. For now, no I do not see how we can get in, but the guests don't know they are in danger yet. The more time we have to calmly figure out whats going on the better."
While Tez was explaining that, many of the goblins were getting very frustrated. They were very dedicated to their job and the fact they couldnt keep up on the evenings refreshments was causing them a lot of distress. The ones stuck on the outside were able to squeeze into the kitchen and keep the operation going outside. While as the ones inside couldn't come back to refill their treys. None of the other guests seemed to be paying the poor little guys any attention. The goblins may have seemed a little panicked, they were still as quiet as a mouse.

”No need for alarm? There’s a massive dome right in the middle of the ballroom that has trapped the very man that hired us for protection, probably the number one target. If we don’t find out who’s causing this he’ll probably be dead soon.” Trish growled through gritted teeth, beyond mad that her plan didn’t work and Tezerett seemed to only be belittling her attempt. Of course these ignorant socialites would never think anything bad could happen to them, and the assailant had to somewhere in the ballroom... or in the dome.
”You can’t see it… You think that means it’s magical?” She couldn’t imagine it being anything else. It was some sort of energy that was for sure, could her own barrier negate it? Trish let out an exasperated sigh. Tezerett didn’t want to make a scene, and she felt causing the entire room to glitter and glow would not exactly be on the down low. Trish began to pace the edge of the dome, trying to think of a way to break through it. ”God dammit, why can’t you all see it!” She growled mostly to herself out of frustration. She knew why they couldn’t see it, but it didn’t make it any less maddening that she was the only one who could fully grasp the enormity of the situation.
Trish’s attention turned to her first suspect, the one she’d made the bet on earlier that night. She had gotten her dance with the two of them, maybe that’s why she decided to strike. The more she thought of it, the more it made sense. Yes, that’s why she kissed her, so she’d be too flustered to notice the accumulation of the barrier. Luckily the vixen was on the same side of the dome as them. Without saying a word to Tezerett, she made her way across the floor and towards her.
”Take it down.” She didn’t even give Sasha an explanation; she assumed she knew exactly what she was talking about as she pointed in the direction of the barrier. ”I know what you’re up to; your tricks won’t work on me.”

Sasha was aware of what it was the girl was actually asking of her, but instead of complying she just put on an innocent face. "Oh? and here I thought you enjoyed our little dance." After a few more moments of playing innocently coy Sasha decided that the situation at hand was far too serious to keep up with her own desires. "Okay, first off it isn't me...i'm flattered you want to see me so bad that I am your first suspect, but if I was the one going to do something to my troops biggest payday. Why would I lock myself outside the gates?" Sasha leaned in close to the heated Trish, her voice quiet as a mouse. "If I help you catch these guys...will you treat me to a night with you?" She smiled a big smile and pulled away all innocent again. Her eyes were wide and filled with a blissful wonder that would make any man swoon over her.
Tezerett wasn't really sure what was going on between Trish and Sasha, but it was clear that Trish seemed to think that Sasha had something to do with what was happening. Tez walked over just as Sasha finished her offer with Trish. "Trish, people are starting to notice. Do you have any ideas on how to keep things from getting out of hand?" Sasha waited to see what the dynamic duo had in plan before she decided to be of help. She was waiting for some kind of sign that Trish was going to take her up on her offer.

Trish was taken aback as Sasha requested a night with her in exchange for her aid…a date? She took a step back from the ringleader, her face once again turning a bright red at the thought. ”Uh-“ She opened her mouth, about to speak when Tezerett approached them. She didn’t want to respond and make it seem like she was actually interested in the woman, but her help could maybe be useful…If she even did help.
Trish’s attention turned back to the dome as Tezerett stated that some of the guests were beginning to notice the barrier, about time. ”I have a veil that can negate magic. It could take down the barrier, but it would also take away any of our magic while we evacuate the building. Can you fight without your fire wielding?” The woman went to grab for the swiss sabre usually attached to her left side, suddenly realizing she was only grabbing at cloth. She swore she had them on her way to the world…She must have lost them in the transformation. ”Shit” She mumbled. How had she allowed herself to take this security position with just a short dagger strapped under her dress? So stupid.
Trish finally turned back to Sasha, letting out a reluctant sigh at what she was about to say. ”If you actually help us…then yes, I will.” She mumbled barely audible as she turned away from the ringleader. She probably wouldn’t be able to help anyway, and if that was the case there would be no promise to keep. The thought of it made her smile, then she wouldn’t owe her anything.

Sasha's smile could not contain her excitement. Despite how dire the situation was she was happy to hear that the angel in the room was willing to treat her if their mission was a success. "Okay you two do the anti magic bubbly thing. I'll go talk to the DJ." Before any other question could be asked, Sasha was immediately off to go talk to the boy with the instruments. Tez was once again out of the loop but he turned to Trish, "You heard the girl, i'll be fine for a little bit of time without magic. Just try to get rid of that barrier."
By now most of the guests on their side were starting to realize that the barrier was placed and that the guests were not able to move freely of their own accord. Just as someone was about to start panicking, music started playing in the hall once more. It was a very calming sound and the guests just started standing and staring blankly into the distance. No one moved an inch besides the circus folk, the musician the ringleader, and Tez didn't seem to have any trouble staying focused.
The Circus folk who were on the side of the barriar that Trish and Tez were on, they quickly gathered around their Ringleader and the group began to converse. "Well it looks like she has a few more skills than just putting on a good show huh? How about that barrier?" He asked Trish as he turned back to the invisible wall, Tez felt confident in what was about to happen. It was like with this group anything was possible.

Trish frowned as the woman seemed to light up at the possibility of a night out with her. ‘It’s not really going to happen, it’s not.’ She thought to herself, this would be the only night they’d see each other. After all, how in the world would Sasha ever find her after they left that night? The thought made her smile. Yes, this would work out well.
”I honestly don’t see how music would…” Trish’s skepticism slowly trailed off as she noticed the guests about her began to calm down at the sound of the boy’s music and then stop entirely. How had he done that? She could only assume enchanted instruments. The woman had to grudgingly admit that was a good move on the ringleaders part.
”God, I hope not.” Trish muttered as she walked over to the edge of the barrier. She summoned an orb to her hand that glew a soft sea foam green, letting it spin around on her palm for a moment before releasing it into the air. The moment it hit the ceiling it burst into a blinding light. As it faded the entire room was covered in a light green veil. It immediately she could feel the magic being sucked out of her body, leaving her with nothing but her dagger to defend herself with.
Trish watched in absolute horror as the dome failed to disappear. ”No, no, no-“ She groaned, placing her hands on the barrier, unable to believe her spell hadn’t worked. She turned to Tezerett. ”It has to be magic! Why-what else could it be?!” The woman slammed her fist on the forcefield in exasperation and it just bounced right back. She wondered if anything would be able to break whatever this was. Her attention now turned to Sasha. ”I hope you have some kind of grand idea because that didn’t do shit.”

The fact that the anti magic didn't work surprised Tez. What other forms of combat were there besides the physical and the magical? Placing his hand on the barrier Trish's magic didn't even seem to be harming it. Tez tried to summon a flame or even a little bit of heat, nothing. Not a single spark could ignite, even the embers in his halloween appearance were now extinguished. Taking in the surroundings one thing seemed strange, the music was still playing. Tez took a quick look around and noticed that the guests were still lost in a trance.
The circus crew was still discussing things amongst themselves. Unfazed by the change in magical energy Sasha stared as Trish was getting frustrated at the failed attempt. A look of satisfaction came over Sasha as she bit her lower lip and got close to Trish's face. "You have no idea what grand scheme I am thinking of darling." She smiled an impish grin and turned to her cohorts in performance. "Okay everybody, the show is about to begin. To your stations!" the crew immediately separated amongst themselves and held eager expressions. A couple spread along the barrier and a few started to climb strange silks that they attached to the ceiling.
"First thing's first we should probably see what it is we are dealing with." She pushed her hand along the surface of the wall and the lights in the room seemed to be refocusing on the force field slowly but surely the barrier started to become visible. It swirled with a black and dark green energy. Some area's seemed to be very busy with activity. Others not so much. While they could no longer see inside the barrier. everyone could see how far it expanded and where it ended.
Tez had a strange feeling that within the barrier there was a lot more going on than the people on the outside had initially believed.

She hated everything about her. Hated her voice, her smile, her cocky attitude. She hated the way she dressed and the way she carried herself, hell she even hated the way she smelled. The once soothing smell of lavender would never rub her the right way again. She inhaled a deep breath of the overpowering stench as Sasha leaned into her. Trish scowled as the ringleader got far too close for comfort once more, as if to rub it in her face that her plan hadn’t worked.
”Sure, just let Miss Perfect rush in and save the fucking day. Can’t wait to see whatever grand scheme you have planned.” She spoke through gritted teeth as she spun on her heel, threw her hands in the air and stormed off. Dealing with this entertainer wasn’t worth the ten thousand munny Dr. Scream had promised her.
Trish dropped into the nearest chair she could find and simply sat there. If this girl really wanted a night with her, why should she even contribute to this cause? Obviously she had a better handle on it than her. You could slit her throat, just one quick cut she wouldn’t even see it coming. She comes so close to you it’d be so easy… Tempting, then she wouldn’t have to deal with whatever date they’d have to go on, but she did promise one after all…Trish placed her arm on the nearby table, raising her hand so that she could rest her head on it as she watched the circus members and their leader take charge. There was also Tezerett to consider, he would be very happy with her murdering his favorite actress.
Trish suddenly shook her head, was she seriously contemplating killing Sasha; where had that though even come from? She kept her focus on the woman who had placed her hands on the barrier while positioning the remaining crew members she had. Suddenly the entire the barrier turned completely opaque, even to her. How…Even under her magic negating barrier she was somehow able to affect it? Should’ve listened to your instincts all along Trish, she was the threat all along; she’s been toying with you. Kill her. She had set out with Sasha as her suspect from the start, it did seem to make sense to her…Why else would she have kissed her, asked her on a date if it wasn’t for manipulation? And now she was allowing this woman to manipulate this barrier, having no clue what she was doing to the structure or the people inside of it. As far as she knew she could be preparing to teleport Dr. Scream and his entire company away to who knows where the moment she had her magic back. The woman’s focus turned back to the veil above the room now, noticing as it already began to flicker, about to fade out of existence.

Sasha was a little taken back by the rude way Trish was speaking. She just wrinkled her face and looked more determined. Now wasn't the time to show any kind of weakness. Her circus needed her to be focused. She walked around and gave a few more orders and looked at the barrier. The barrier seemed to be some substance other than arcanic matter, but different than the force that her and her circus used. It was Sasha's theory that the design of the wall would be focused on the sides if anyone were to try to enter or escape from it. So maybe an attack from sides as well as the roof would be able to topple down the strong barrier. Spread out it's defensive strength in order to weaken it.
Tez was growing suspicious at the fact that Sasha was able to manipulate the wall that wasn't destroyed by anti magic. In order to make sure she was actually helping instead of making things worse Tez walked over to ask her a few questions. " so, how are you able to use magic right now? and how were you able to manipulate this barrier?" Tez was very straight to the point. He didn't think she was trying to harm anyone, but on the chance he was wrong he wanted to know sooner rather than later.
"It's not magic, every member of my circus is a different race than human. We can't use magic. We harness a unique substance called Glamour. As for the barrier I'm not manipulating it, i'm making it noticeable. I am reflecting the light to make it so we can see exactly how high and how wide this barrier is. Any more questions?" She seemed very focused and didn't really bother her that Tez was asking all of these questions. She had a feeling her and her crew were under suspicion. "remember members of my family are in there as well. Don't think i'm doing this just to help you two." She winked at Tez and walked over to a few of her members and asked them to move over just a little bit more, they were a little bit out of formation.
Tez was more taken back at the fact that each and every one of these people couldn't use any magic. How was that even possible? Shaking his head again he tried to gain some focus. Now wasn't the time to really be asking these questions. Looking up at the ceiling it looked like Trish's anti magic dome was ready to vanish. Once his magic was back, he could try to be of some help.

Trish continued to watch from her chair, stewing over what Sasha had just explained to Tezerett. ’and what if those ‘family members’ in distress are supposed to be in there to finish off the job, so the blame doesn’t fall on her hands? How convenient no one can see through that dome now’ It was convenient wasn’t it… ’Of course she isn’t doing this to help you, she’s doing it for her own gain, her own profit’ Trish couldn’t help but wonder how much Dr. Scream’s ransom would be worth. Probably a fortune compared to the amount the circus was being supplied just for their performance. Hell, the man would probably forfeit his entire estate just to ensure his own safety.
Trish’s attention turned up to the veil she had created just a few minutes before, noticing that it was fading fast. She didn’t have much time, she could already feel the magic beginning to return to her. Kill her. Trish got up from her chair and made a bee-line for Tezerett, grabbing onto his arm to get his attention as she pointed towards the ringleader. ”Tezerett, it’s her, it has to be her!” Her touch was ice cold as she spoke in a hurried whisper as to not attract the attention of the vixen. ’He won’t believe you Trish, she has him wrapped around her finger’No, Tezerett was her partner, he had to trust her. What about all they had been through in the jungle? Surely he wouldn’t throw that all out the window for-’He’ll throw you to the side just like Zett’ ”Shut up…” The woman released Tezerett and turned away from him as she muttered the words as to not confuse him. Why was she even allowing this conversation to continue with this bitch? Wait, how long had she even been listening to her?
Trish’s attention turned back to Sasha, unsure of how to take the situation. Sure, Lilly may have been trying to get out, but her hunch even before the demons onset was the ringleader. All the points added up, no one else in the party that she had noticed really showed signs of suspect. If she wasn’t involved and could see the dome like her, why hadn’t she notified somebody earlier, or been trying to get her ‘family members’ out sooner? Why would Lilly be pushing her towards the truth though… None of this situation made sense and it was become harder to think through the dilemma as the front her skull began to ache as she became more and more aware of Lilly’s presence. ’Her attention is soley on the dome, it’d be so easy to take her down, do it now! But what about Tezerett ’If you don’t, I will’He’ll hate me for it ’Your duty is to Dr. Scream, not him’ Trish reluctantly summoned two black orbs to her hands. If Tezerett didn't back her, she would be going in on this mission alone.

Sasha was startled in such a way that she lost her ability to concentrate and her ability faded away. 'Why did Trish think these horrible things of her?' Without any time to pause many of the Cirque members descended from their positions to come to their leaders aid. Still in a daze Sasha tried to convince them to stay down but the words wouldn't form. Many of them were surging with energy that Tez had never seen before. Their eyes pulsed with power and changed to an almost feral gaze.
Without thinking and only reacting Tez ignited his hands a blaze and stood his ground between the cirque and Trish. Clearly Trish wasn't thinking straight, but that wouldnt stop him from defending her if attacked. Tez willed his flames to grow bigger as he stood firm between the two opposing forces. Sparks of blue flames filtered through his orange blaze. "Everyone calm yourselves." Tez yelled as a small harmless wave of heat overtook the hall. Each member of the cirque still standing in a battle position. Tez made sure to keep his gaze on them. He trusted Trish enough to not stab him in the back if he was trying to keep the peace. "Trish, if you really think that these people are to blame then we should remove ourselves from this position, it would be two against...well a lot. No matter how strong we are as a team we wouldn't last long against a small army. Let's retreat to another area and figure it out from there. If they really are to blame their crimes will come to light sooner rather than later." Tez stood firm. There was no guarantee that Tris was going to go along with this plan of his, but he hoped that it would be enough to buy everyone time to really get a handle on this mysterious dome.

’Retreat? That’s what she wants! He must be in on it to, they’re all against you. Tsk, restreating. That’s a coward’s move, are you really going to let her win so easily?Tezerett isn’t against me, he’s trying to help meWhy would he want to help you over Sasha? She’s beautiful, talented, a strong leader, you don’t even stand a chance aga-‘ ”Shut up!” Trish’s head snapped up as her attention turned back to Tezerett as she tried to ignore the voice by keeping focus on the situation at hand. ”Are you insane? If we just wait they’ll get away with whatever they want to do. You can leave if you want, but I’m not afraid of them…” Trish kept her aggressive stance, trying not to show the anguish the angry being was causing by ramming up against her skull every few seconds. The sooner she could finish this, the sooner she could be rid of Lilly’s disruptions.
”Tez-“ Trish immediately clapped her hand over her mouth the moment she heard the change in tone. She…She was taking over, she couldn’t take over, she couldn’t let Tezerett know. With a clearly panicked expression quickly descending on the woman, she turned on her heel and ran towards the kitchen, disappearing behind the doors.
The moment Trish passed the threshold she hit the ground, falling hard on one knee as she tried to grip against the counter. She could already begin to feel the early onsets. Her nails had grown out and become incredibly hard, scraping down and peeling the wooden cabinets as she collapsed to the cold tile floor. Her body was visibly shaking as she tried to suppress the voice demanding to be let free. ’Their fate is decided, there is nothing you can do to stop it’ There had to be some way, but the longer Trish lay on the floor the more impossible the task seemed to become. Even Lilly’s voice had begun to get fuzzy…
The woman’s skin began to turn a deathly pale as spectral glow covered her entire body. Slowly her limbs began to numb, she was losing control. ”Don’t hurt him…Please don’t hurt him.”’Their fate is already decided’ Trish began to cry from the distant words, she couldn’t lose Tezerett yet. Not like this, why couldn’t he have just left her like Zett? Why did she have to grow attached at all? With her final thoughts stuck on the fire wielder and their jungle encounter, Trish slipped into the darkness.

Something was feeling strange, Trish was becoming more and more distraught about something. Tez wasn't even sure what to make of the situation, for a while Trish seemed fine, but now under all this stress it was as if she was coming apart from the inside out. Looking over at Sasha, she looked just as frantic as Trish. Sasha was trying her hardest to get her crew to stand down and that Trish was of no threat.
Just when Trish seemed to be getting ahold of herself, there was a strange tone in her voice. Tez noticed the look of horror spread across her face as she ran off into the kitchen.
As Tez extinguished his flames, the members of the cirque also lowered their offensive stance. Sasha approached Tez and before she could say anything Tez was already speaking. "Stay here and figure out what's going on. I'll look after Trish and make sure she's okay." Sasha was about to protest when she held back her words and just turned back to her crew with a salty glare. They knew immediately to get out of the spot they were standing and back to work. Tez turned and walked towards the kitchen. Once Tez was at the door he heard the sound of her voice, unable to really make out what she was saying. Tez loudly knocked on the door, "Trish? I'm going to come in we should think of a new plan." Tez slowly opened the door and tried to prepare himself for whatever it was that was frightening his seemingly fearless partner.

With no essence left to intercede, the changes to Trish’s body greatly accelerated. The feathers of her once beautiful angel wings quickly began to fall, eventually revealing nothing but blood stained bone. In light feathery wisps the spectral aura surrounding the woman began to tear at her evening dress, replacing the needed areas with their mistress’ much more haunting attire and leaving other areas bare. In matter of moments she was left with a translucent ensemble which seemed to waver in the breeze…even though she was inside.
As she began to stand the final pieces were coming together. Her once silvery hair hard become a light red and from the spectral aura that surrounded her a brilliant silver crown began to form atop her head. She couldn’t help but let out a malicious grin, flashing excessively pointed canines as she pulled the blindfold from her face, revealing shockingly red irises striking enough to pierce into the most hardened of soul.
”Leaving so soon darling?” As Tezerett was midway through opening the door Lilly had grabbed just a few inches above his hand and pulled it the rest of the way, revealing nothing but her, a pile of feathers and the blindfold that now lay on the ground. She gave the fire wielder a flirtatious wink, making fierce eye contact with a moment before she glanced over his shoulder to see what exactly was happening in the ballroom. Her sights set on the ringleader and her crew. Yes, this mission would be simple.
Lilly gave a light gesture to Tezerett to make it clear that he was in the way of her path. ”If you don't mind...” She would remain coy to the man for the moment, there was no need to reveal her intentions yet.
