Destroy

A flashing light swirled between the two Valiant Pillars. 

By this point, the crowd of individuals watching was considerably smaller than it had been two years ago. And though this was in part due to the fact it had been so long, it was also obvious that there was an air of heaviness around Valiant Heart that hadn't quite been there before. 

When the group of geniuses appeared, the only two who were still on their feet were Leonel and Aina. But, on the 'bright' side, only three of their twelve geniuses had died. One was Sael's partner, the other two were both geniuses from Severed Heart. 

Somehow, Radlis had managed to survive until the end, but Leonel hadn't really gotten around to asking Aina what had happened to her in these last couple years. They had both decided that things would be less annoying if they handled whatever these Valiant Heart elders would throw at them first.
