"The

know!" Moltres yelled in response. Flames, now noticeably tinged with Shadow sparked at the edges of her beak. She cried out when struck with Radiant light, clearly taken off-guard at its potency. With a frustrated screech, she yelled,

Odette's Spotter Feat! Moltres' AI—
The Shadow affliction has made Moltres' behaviour more erratic! When afflicted, she can corrupt one move per turn before striking with it. However, she's not far gone and her Shd can be lowered if the Wayfarers call out to her!
Odette walked to Westward Rail!
The geists sparked more erratically, reflecting Moltres' state, their song notably deteriorating the longer they persisted. Once more, when their forms destabilised through enough attacks, a horrible sear of pain was inflicted to anyone unfortunate enough to touch them and then, not one, but two visions ensued...
Moltres hung her head low in defeat as she, reluctantly, allowed the nobility to take away the Blazing Dawn's Relic. It had been a long and tiring conversation, one where Moltres had no chance of convincing the nobility. Eventually, she conceded just to hear the end of it and she was rewarded with a forced smile, they knew she would make the correct choice eventually.
For safekeeping they had said, until she was able to find an apprentice of her own. Though of course, the nobility could always "help" her with the decision. A terrible feeling twisted within her as she thought about their words. The late Saint's dying laughter and Moltres' own rushed apprenticeship was more than enough to prove to them that he had not been sound of mind during his final years and that was enough for Moltres to earn their distrust. A mere product of a manic episode, a
mistake.
The scene then shifted. Again, Moltres stood before the court but this time she was demanding an immediate evacuation of the town. The mountainside it had been built upon was beginning to show signs of volcanic activity and at any rate...
"But why?" they would ask. Where would they go? What of their wealth? Surely it would be in
her power to stop it. Perhaps, this was a sign that she was not worthy of being the Blazing Twilight, that once she gave up the power and title to someone more worthy, these ill omens would fade away. Or maybe, this was her own doing to force them to return the Dawn's Relic to her, a threat they would refuse to be intimidated by.
So they stayed, time marching forward to that ever so fateful day.

Another felling of a geist produced another pair of visions though initially it was difficult to tell if it was a vision or the geist's flames overtaking Silver's vision.
In the days following, some were convinced by Moltres to travel as far as their legs could take them but others, despite her insistence, had listened to the court, either as a show of belief in the phoenix to stop the disaster or a show of defiance against her
clearly childish tantrums after being told off time and time again by people who know better. So she had no choice but to try and stop it.
Though there were old tales of the Dawn stopping such disasters, Moltres herself had no idea how to do it or even if it was an ability of the Twilight but she had to try.
And she had failed.
Ash fell from the sky in the aftermath and very few survived. Those who had changed their minds in the final hours to tread to safe ground, travellers and merchants who had just arrived and of course, Moltres herself. She had tried to explain but they looked upon her with horror and hate. Was she not flying towards the mountain before it exploded? Did she not already have an uneasy relationship with the nobility? The reasoning varied greatly but that did not matter when it was clearly Moltres' own fault. Her fault for being unable to stop it, her fault for causing it, her fault for being unworthy.
And so, the only thing she could do was fly away.
Jade's RADIANT Mage Aux lowered her Eva by 1 then dealt 33 damage to Moltres! It's ultra effective!
The visions faded at the light of Jade's strike but Odette would find herself succumbing to the flames yet moments before she fell, she would feel something
unlocking within her aura.
Odette was KO'd from her Burn...
Perhaps it was the sensation of the geist's dark flames sinking into her metallic flesh, or perhaps it was Moltres' own flames that triggered it - an indirect blessing. Whatever the reason, Odette would feel that she had found something that would allow her to harness and use those dark flames for herself.
But then...
Odette learned Fiery Wrath!
Boss Attack: Moltres's Burning Jealousy was redirected to Town Entrance! It hit everyone in the zone! 19 damage to Dave! Burn! 18 damage to Silver!
