Oh Captain, My Captain. I'm not Okay.

Good? Good! Tenmarin could only let out a shaky chuckle feeling her body desire rest. Though, it doubts the Captain is going to let it off this easily. Honestly, all that was wanted to be said was said, and there is no point in any of this any longer. That doesn’t lessen the desire to continue fighting, but Tenmarin is far more mature than Elyss despite how cryptic and sadistic it seemed. The desire to carve flesh and paint the world a bloody red hasn’t subsided, but what is the point in that want if one dies foolishly? A contradictory thought considering Elyss’ battle with the mass of Hollow a few moments ago, but deep down, looking past the desire to fight, harm, get injured, and kill, Elyss had hoped someone would come to save her from that suicidal battle. Despite how alive it made her feel, she didn’t want to die like that. Maybe that’s just her selfishness rising up finally within her, but she’s spent so long being selfless that having a sudden desire didn’t feel so bad.

Tenmarin knew it wouldn’t be able to defend itself completely from the next strike, but it would not simply back down, unaware of the consequences of enacting the way it is. Elyss and Tenmarin are not cowards even if unstable and foolish at times. As if either of them would allow themselves to simply back down. However, they were saved by a burning angel… Well, if what occurred was in any form that sacrilege.

With a loud “Oof”, Tenmarin felt the wind knocked straight out of it sending Elyss’ body sprawling away with the sudden redheaded man’s dynamic entrance. She didn’t stay with him however and flew off in another direction right into a tree with a sickening crack that broke through the trunk of the large object. She simply drops onto the ground unmoving. From all the injuries taken, that hit was the one that finally did Tenmarin in causing the Zanpakuto to lose its control over the body and return consciousness to Elyss who immediately lost it.
