i. aimin' so high but swingin' so low [chaos erupts]
Diana has always been optimistic about relations between the factions improving, but she still wears her armor and carries her sword and shield with her to the meeting. If anything at all goes wrong, she wants to be prepared, and since she was one of the few Summoned who did not find themselves in unfamiliar territory, she has the luxury of preparing herself well.
She feels power in the air before the meeting falls apart, but doesn't think that it could be anything except their proximity to the Singularity's crater. So, like everyone else, she is caught off guard when power cracks through the air, and in moments the exchange has fallen to havoc.
She pulls out her shield, not willing to draw her blade unless absolutely necessary. But she sees the crater expanding, swallowing up people on all sides of the conflict, and she knows that no weapon will help her now. She sees other Summoned moving into the crater, drawn by either fear or survival. Does she stay and protect those who cannot withstand the magic, or does she follow the other Summoned into the unknown?
The decision is made for her as the power pulls her forward, towards the Singularity. She feels it calling out, and her jaw clenches at the power of it. She must follow it. She reaches for the nearest Summoned, grasping their arm. "This way! Towards it!"
ii. tryin' to catch fire but feelin' so cold [northern mountains]
When Diana comes to, she sees nothing but white. She blinks a few times, thinking something is wrong with her vision, but no; she exhales, and a puff of white vapor coalesces in front of her face. Then she feels the cold, biting, but not unmanageable with the ichor in her veins. She sits up, cautious, and sees a mountain range all around her, punctuated by groves of tall pine trees. Wherever the Singularity sent her, it is not a place she has been before.
Amazons are trained for survival, but snowy mountains are outside even Diana's expertise. Still, she learned the basics. She must find shelter, warmth, and food, along with any other Summoned that were sent here. Securing her shield to her back and checking her sword, she starts towards the treeline, hoping to get out of the flurries for a brief moment.
Once shelter and a fire are built, and game traps are set, even Diana is tired. Still, she knows she must remain on alert; there is a power in these mountains she cannot name, but that makes the small hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She hears the clinking of metal, and on occasion, sees a flicker of blue among the snow drifts. When she is not near the fire, she feels inexplicably warm, uncomfortably so, and it sets her on edge. She pulls her cloak tighter around herself. "Something watches," she observes quietly to her companion, dark eyes scanning on the white expanse before them. "Can you feel it?"
