Dimensional Descent

The moment Little Nana appeared, it seemed obvious what her goal was. She caught the Adurna family off guard, and piggybacking off Aina's moment, she reached in and grabbed at the spirit of a shield.

The shield was truly beautiful. It was completely transparent, reflecting various shades of blue as though one was looking at clear ocean waters rather than a treasure. Though… this sort of sight was a treasure in its own right.

"STOP!" The head of the Adurna family brought out the physical shield, and her hair whipped wildly in the air as she tried to fight back.

Little Nana paled as she felt the spirit of the weapon almost slip out of her control. It was clear that the affinity she had for the weapon wasn't nearly as high as Aina's. Or, to speak more conservatively, the gap between herself and the head of the Adurna was far smaller than the gap between Aina and the Brazinger head.

Little Nana's face turned red once more with exertion. She had a look of determination in her eyes, but it was hard for her not to feel despair.

She had come out at the perfect moment, done everything right, but in the end, it felt as though her blood just wasn't pure enough.

This was what hurt the most. She hated the way the Great Families did things, obsessed with their bloodlines, obsessed with their purity. The number of people that they had hurt because of such things was far greater than just Aina alone. She had to watch her own brother being treated as inferior only because he was born with weaker talent than her own.

She wanted to prove them wrong, she wanted to do what Aina had done and slap their faces by having yet another one of their weapons land in the hands of someone with "weak" blood. But now, it looked as though she would fail, and that frustrated her to the point that tears pooled in her eyes.

She grit her teeth and pulled hard, using everything she had in her body, even her very soul and lifespan, but it just didn't seem to budge.
