Point-of-View: Damien Romer

I got back up on my feet as I healed myself with a grimace, as Shiro Blanc stared down at me, wearing the same blue glasses as everyone else...yeah, they definitely planned this out, and I fell for the trap...damn it.
Still, it seems like I've gained Alchemic Magic from eating that last heart...so it hasn't been a total loss. But it will be if I fail to escape from here, not to mention that I can't exactly use a power I just gained properly without practicing with it. As things currently stand, my chances of defeating Shiro are slim to none, even at my full power.
"Alright, everyone, clear out. I've got this," He remarked, as he suddenly swooped straight down towards me.
I swiftly unleashed my True Anima and sprang back to evade as he closed in on me and blasted out a rapid lightning bolt at me, just barely getting out of the way as it struck the ground behind me with a vicious crackle.
