Sanria went outside the cavern, expecting to have time to collect herself, but found Colin sitting with the children. She couldn't tell him what Velentham had done to her. She wouldn't crush him with the news. She would wait until Velentham had gone, and he'd have to leave now. There was nothing more left for him to want.
Though Colin was concerned, Sanria kept the story from him. She had only moments before Velentham was there. Why wouldn't he just leave her alone? "Velentham. What's going on? What did you say to Sanria?" Colin asked, and Sanria felt dread in the pit of her stomach.
"You want to know?"
"Please... stop it," she begged, knowing what was coming.
Sanria started as Colin smacked Velentham's hand away from his head. There were rare times indeed that Sanria got the opportunity to see the speed that Colin possessed and the strength. There just weren't many problems to be had anymore. But as he leapt to his feet she knew she had to stop him before the black makou in him took over, a reality fast intruding as his eyes grew darker.
She got up quickly and stepped in front of Colin. "Please, don't do this... there's no need, Velentham will be going."
"What he did to you. No. He will pay for that."
"I am going to be leaving," Velentham said from behind her.
"We have business before you go Velentham."
"Is that so?"
Sanria could feel the chill aura as it began to surround Colin. She reached up and took Colin's face in her hands. She was desperate to prevent what would happen. And what would happen? A Celestial, born to end evil, and a man filled with a substance that some would consider the root of evil itself. "No. No no no... Colin!"
Colin came to only for a moment as he looked down at her, his eyes teary. "Sanria... what he did. He can't just get away with that."
"Colin... I am a big girl and I can deal with it. I won't see you two in a fight. Not here, not now, not ever."
"Are you finished, Sanria?" Velentham asked.
The words were all it took for Colin's focus to be drawn away from her. Sanria felt nearly helpless as Colin began to close the gap between himself and Velentham.
