If one were to say that Laura was an overprotective mother for her daughter, Medea then it was worse if it was her grandchildren. if one were to compare her then she was exactly like a Phantasmal Mother dragon protecting it's hoard. As a RING aspect Laura has naturally very calm personality even at the face of danger or even death but everyone and everything had its limit. A limit that everything would go to hell if it's snap.
In this situation, even if she is currently 51 years old, her body has no problems on moving as if she was 21 again due to extreme care through habit she developed when she was once an assassin.
That is the reason why she no problems in quietly jumping above the trees for quick travels in order to search for those teenagers. at times like this she is glad that she trained those three how to fight but the thing that worries her is that, other than Anna, they have not learned how to take at life. For this situation, it was a bad because those twins are too kind to the point of suicide.
Then again, it wasn't their fault. It was all her. She sheltered them to much. But she thought that they didn't need to learn that since it was only one more year left until their safe from hiding but all of this was thrown out of the window when she received the message from her colleagues that the Sette Risonanze found their location. Now she has no choice but to accept this mistake and backlash on ignoring her paranoia.
"What a mess." Laura muttered as she jump to another thick branch.
The old woman stopped to pull out her long knife that can be mistaken as a sword and took a stance. Laura slowly even her breath and close her eyes to concentrate.
12 years ago she had swore to herself that she will never use her aspect in order to kept her family hidden. The Concordia CROWN's division are known to have built a special aspect locator for locating their targets. but now? it's useless. Chaos City has been compromised there's no use hiding in place that infested full of rats that filled to the brim.
A pulse erupted from her body and her eyes glow blue as it open with streaks of neon blue flows in the corners of her eyes. Despite it's beauty, you would be able to the emptiness and apathy that resembles the emotion of a machine.
The trees went silent while Laura stood in her stance in complete still. She listen to her surroundings and wait.
*swoosh*
'found you.' Laura made her move.
With her knife she decapitated her enemies one by one using the trees and it's shadows as her skin while using her Ring Aspect to control the humidity in the air to sense her targets and raise a thick fog to blind her enemies.
"Shit! Everyone, watch ou-!" the poor man didn't continue as his head flew of his shoulders as it was cleanly cut off.
'Three down...' Laura looked at the corpse as if it was a bug in her eyes and turns to look at the fog she had created. '...and 12 more to go.'
As a RING aspect, Laura has the ability to give an incredibly calm presence to herself and enemies just by her presence alone. A RING aspect are known for three things. And three things alone and it is;
1.) complete control of water which makes the forest a 2nd home field advantage compared to the ocean which makes it the 1st or any heavily wet environment. Thus allowing her to create mists, fogs, and quicksands on the grounds. but what Laura's favorite specialty on what is to kill her targets by controlling the water in their bodies by using the blood to block the heart until the stop beating.
2.) Tranquility to calm her enemies to the point they would relax and lower their guards to the point it would slowly lower their heart rate until they would die sleeping in an unnatural efficiency. but to Laura mostly use this ability to even her heartbeat to calm herself to keep a clear mind. most of the times.
3.) Severing, cutting, piercing, or any other means to cut is also a natural affinity for a RING aspect and Laura's taking this ability in every advantages from cooking to carving through killing. it is a silent technique mostly used for assassinations and it is invisible as it is very flexible to the point it can cross through tiny spaces.
So, for Laura? you can know she takes every advantage to it.
"Guaaaahhhhh!!!!" the man shouted in anguish as his leg was cleanly cut as his blood spread everywhere. His voice was heard by his allies and thanks to it they were alerted.
"Shit-!"
"Watch out!"
"Everybody fall back now!"
"Quickly raise up you aspects now!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!"
"No! Sir-aaack!!!"
The fog cleared away as the Old woman stood int the middle of the blood and corpses as while she stayed clean and and unharmed. she stared at the corpses with complete apathy as if she only saw nothing but withered flower before her.
'Idiots.' Laura thought 'When going against an assassin never make any noise once you know they are close unless you wish to die.' She looked at the forest ahead of her. 'I hope those three stay hidden. if I could kill them all before one of them back to the organization them we could get some time before they realize we knew they were coming.' she looked back down at the dead bodies in a deal thought. "Even if we were found due to misadventures in the city a while ago they couldn't have know this quickly..." The old assassin thought out loud. "unless..." Her eyes grew wide in horror as she realized their situation. "...they knew from the start."
