Hellfire Hexcavation

[Essent Rose Allison]

Despite this... Test, Essent did feel proud of herself for proving her strength. This fighting thing... Essent might not like it but she understands the thrill of it now. No wonder Fist Users like to fight a lot. No wonder the tournament was a thing. No wonder her Fist Persona wanted more fighting than SCIENCE. No wonder her main powers were more combat oriented. It was all for fighting. But Essent is in control now. She absorbed her Fist Persona, she understands her powers now, she is more in tune with her Chi. Well, she used to be. Now she needs to become in tune with Omnilium. Either way, these powers are good to have, just not in the way most people would expect. There would be times Essent would do Uno Scratch just to peel a potato or cut a pineapple. Sometimes she would just summon a tendril to carry something with a part other than her hands. Sometimes she would use Curb Stomper just to clear ice out of her driveway. The normal human stuff. Not fighting. Essent may be weary but she isn't afraid. She WILL defend herself.

The sky began to darken from a very light blue to a really dark purple. Stars began to shine and a hint of a galaxy was there. Essent looked up at the stars and immediately she could see lines connecting them, forming constellations. Essent pointed upwards towards them and traced the lines, forming her own constellations. Her mouth formed a smile. After a rough battle, it was nice to relax and see the stars. The universe is a wondrous place. Aliens, planets, stars, galaxies, space dust, even crazier space dust, the sort. Essent was no astronomer but the wonders of the universe still had her curious. Whenever she sees Mirion again, she might ask her more about her powers and what they do. For now, Essent was in awe of the far-away stars she could see with the naked eye. Well, naked eye plus glasses.

Essent stopped and sat down in the snow. Tearen noticed this and turned his head.

"May I inquire as to why you have stopped?" he questioned. Essent answered with a smile.

"Aren't they beautiful?" Essent lied down, looking up at the stars. She pointed at them, counting only a few. "I've only seen views of the night sky like this back home. I guess it really does feel like home here despite the dangers."

"Essent, I admire you taking the time to become awestruck by the stars above, but-"

"You can go on ahead. When you find them, you can bring them over. I'm just gonna take some time to unwind after that hectic encounter."

"As you wish." Tearen nodded in understanding and went his way. Perhaps it was for the best. It was Essent's first day here and it was reckless enough to put her into danger.

"See you then!" Essent called out. Her eyes remained fixated on the stars. How they glowed, sending their bright lights from light years away to this realm. Some take a short time, some travel a really really long distance. Essent is glad they provide the night sky with a beautiful view. It wouldn't be the same if it was all... Empty space. It would be so boring and dark if there were no stars. Speaking of stars, Essent pointed upward at a shooting one the was going across the sky! She let out an oooooooooh and aaaaaaaaaaah as it passed by. She would make a wish but, well, she can make it come true herself, right? She just needs the right qualifications.
