This wasn't the first time Amalia had tentatively ventured up the staircase to the Tower's levels that had been ruined in the whale monster's attack, but she'd never ventured off the steps and onto the floors themselves.

Yet today was different and now she was standing in the torn up dirt that had once been a lush meadow. She knelt into the soil and carefully brushed some of the debris away from what might have been a clover patch before. "I'm sorry I didn't come sooner," she said quietly to the crumpled plants. "I was scared, but that's not an excuse. I still... have a lot to learn."

She pressed her hands flat into the dirt, closed her eyes and concentrated. Ripples of green light spread out from her in a circles and after a few moments, there began to be stirrings of new roots beneath the soil with a few tender green shoots tentatively raising into view. When she opened her eyes again, there was a radius of about 15 feet that was starting to grow again, like a young spring just recovering from a harsh winter. It was a long way from the lushness it had been, but now it could start growing back on its own.

Amalia looked at the rest of the ruined meadow, then down at the little patch she'd just created. She still had a lot of work to do.

Elian had been wandering around now since the attacks. He didn't expect to find much of anything worth salvaging. He was already worried about a friend from home that had lost his memories and now he's just wandering to clear his mind.

Upon reaching the floor that was once a meadow, his heart sank. "They destroyed this place too." His voice didn't sound as sympathetic as he was feeling. It just hurt too much to see something so wonderful be torn apart and left to die.

He stepped in with a deep inhale. He almost missed the light. He stopped in midstep to watch and soon discovered that it was Amalia. Curiosity pulled him closer. He had never seen anything like it before.

[terraformagica]

Amalia was unaware that she had an audience, rising from her position with a slight wobble. She'd generated a half dozen circles of greenery around the meadow, and it was starting to show. She should have brought some water or something with her, but the decision to come up here had been made with her heart and not with her head. While she normally would have asked the plants to share some of their dew with her, she felt guilty about taking it from them when they still needed it.

[absolute_perception]

Elian had a feeling that she was wearing herself out while she was healing the meadow. He looked around for something to use as a cup and found nothing of the sort. He left the area and walked all the down to the cafeteria to get a water bottle and made his trek up the stairs again. He remembered to grab one for himself which he would definitely need when he showed up at the meadow again.

[terraformagica]

When Elian returned, Amalia was still hard at work and there were a few more circles of renewed growth than there had been when he'd left. The princess was just about to start another one, but she was struggling to get started. It was as though she wanted to do the whole floor in one day.

"Great Sadida," she murmured. "Please give me some more strength. This will help so many people... I have to keep going..."

[isthatashortjoke]

"Huh, you survived." came a familiar voice as Veigar stepped just outside the area she had healed. His ever obscured face showed the bright expressive glow that was his eyes when the shadows covered his features and he seemed to have a mix between relief and concern.

"I uh..." How was it that you said nice things again? Come on, tap into your yordle heritage more and less into the psychopathic Noxxus induced insanity.

"I'm glad to see you survived that sneak assault. I destroyed as many as I could find so that the lower levels were safe, but I.... I couldn't find you." Her or any of the other teammates he had decided aren't due for destruction and instead he'd like them to survive...

[terraformagica]

Amalia's head came up, startled when she heard the familiar voice and one that she hadn't heard in weeks. A smile temporarily washed away the weary expression she wore from the strain of her terraforming and she crossed the new grass to throw her arms around Veigar in a hug.

"You're all right!"

[isthatashortjoke]

Ah ah!!!! It's that thing that people do when uh, they wrap their arms around you and not to strangle you! What was it called?!

Ah who cared... this time it wasn't unpleasant... not in the least he supposed. So much so that he, uh, actually returned the hug, if a bit awkwardly. Even through the shadows she could see the slight blush on his face.

"Of course I'm alright. I'm Veigar the all powerful! I was more worried about you." Wait, Veigar doesn't worry! What is this...

"Err, I wanted to make I would not lose any allies! So I kept as many monsters I could at bay! Yesss." That's what it was! Yep.

[terraformagica]

Amalia thankfully doesn't subject him to the hug for more than a minute. "Oh Veigar, I'm sorry! I didn't find you either, even if I knew you'd be all right because you're strong and brave. You... were worried about me?"

She'd been exploring the tower tentatively after realizing the extent of the damage caused by the whale, not that Aelita knew much about the incident having not been here when it hit. The stairwell leading down had seemed a bit precarious to her, but she'd been working her way down slowly nonetheless. The destrution had been worrying, to say nothing of the other floors she'd passed on her way down, and the torn up dirt that now made up the meadow left her guessing what could have made up this floor.

She begins to get an idea, however, when she sights Amaila rejuvenating the small patch of ground. As the new plants quickly sprout and begin to grow, Aelita can only look on in fascination as she does her work. When the green glow dissipates, Aelita looks from the ground to the girl standing in the middle of the new growth.

"That was amazing!"

[terraformagica]

The green-haired girl looks surprised at the sudden compliment, having not heard Aelita's approach. "Thank you..." she said, looking down at the patch of greenery she'd just created. "They're happy, now that they can grow again."

[audiofile]

She smile's kindly. "You're welcome."

The little patch of green amongst the torn up dirt is probably one of the more hopeful things she's seen since arriving, she thinks.

"Did the whole floor used to be like this?"

[terraformagica]

Amalia nodded, sitting down in the new grass and gesturing that Aelita could do the same if she wanted. She needed a breather anyway.

"Mm, it did. It was really beautiful up here." She wondered how the girl hadn't seen it and then realizes what is probably the case.

"Are you new here?"

[heartfeltfancy]

[she figured at least the meadow would be pretty. Nope. No survivors. But who was this girl...?]

W-Woah! That's so amazing!

[terraformagica]

[ It was pretty once! But Amalia is going to be at this a long time before it gets back to the way it was. ]

O-Oh... thank you, but it's not that amazing...

[wrigurun]

Wriggle had been drifting around the meadow since morning, not really sure what to do with herself. As a familiar face arrived she thought she might go and say hello but they seemed particularly occupied with something else. As Amalia pressed her hands to the ground, Wriggle hovered behind her, eyes glowing with curiosity and wonder.

"That's amazing..." she mumbled once the small plants had broken through the surface. "Are you going to fix the meadow? Can I help?" She asked, a little louder this time. It was certainly a lot of work and Wriggle loved this floor as much as she did. The very least she could do was lend a hand.

[terraformagica]

"Ah, Wriggle!" Amalia gave her friend a smile. "Well... I'm going to try. You can help if you want to!"

[wrigurun]

Her smile brightened as she was given the okay.

"Great! I'll be right back!" Wriggle beamed as she flew towards the staircase. She seemed to be gone for quite a while, it would have been easy to assume that she simply forgot she was going to help but eventually she came back. Behind her flew the swarm of bees that she'd kept with her in the cafeteria. She came to a halt back in front of Amalia.

"Ready! So what do you need help with? Any flowers you need pollinating?" She asked in a slightly louder voice than normal to compensate for the buzzing.

[terraformagica]

Amalia's eyes widened at the amount of bees following wriggle. She didn't mind these insects in particular (she found them kind of cute) but it was a little disconcerting how easily they swarmed around Wriggle.

"Would you please ask them to start on this new patch?" Amalia asked. "Oh, and would they like a tree or something to rest in?"

[alienstookmyburgers]

[ To say that everywhere he went, things were wrecked, would be an understatement. The whole tower was practically a disaster zone. Hagakure wasn't even sure how he had survived the whole ordeal, but it did involve lots of running and screaming.

For now, he found himself wandering through the tower, just marveling at the wreckage. His long walk lead him all the way to the twenty fifth floor. It looked just as uprooted as anywhere else, but something was different about here. He had never been this high before. In the middle of the all of the dirt was...what looked like a girl. Hagakure was about to call out and ask if she was okay, since she was bent over, but he didn't get a chance. For one second, there was dirt, and the next, a green light covered a small area around her, and new roots began to pop out of the ground. For some reason, he found himself clapping. ]

Bravo, bravo! That was pretty cool, yeah? [ He walked closer to the girl. Now he just had to know how she did that. Real live magic? Too cool! ]

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia was surprised at the sudden applause and blushed prettily. ]

Thank you very much! Have you... been standing there long?

[alienstookmyburgers]

[ He shook his head. ] Just got here, yeah? I've been seeing the damage around the tower.

So...is that magic?

[terraformagica]

[ She thought about the question for a moment. ]

Yes, I suppose it's magic of a type. We don't think of it at home like that though.

[repeatingsun]

[It should be no surprise that Solas is also out here as well, doing very much the same thing. She is, after all, very close to plant life, and to see such a thing-

It's horrible, just horrible. They are all living, and to see so many lives snuffed out, plant and animal...she wants to fix what she can. So she's been on the floors with plant life since then, using her powers.

When she sees Amalia, she nods in greeting.] Hello.

[terraformagica]

Oh, hello! Were you looking for something?

[repeatingsun]

No, not really! I'm just trying to...to help fix things here. [She gestures at the ruined plant life.] I want to help bring them back.
