Emilya released the Fallen from her grasp and dispelled the Nordic Noble Phantasm. A good amount of her magic circuits were burning up from the amount of magical energy it was taking up to keep them out. But that wasn't important. What was important was getting Asia off of that crucifix and checking to see if Mittelt was alright.
"E-Emilyaā¦ -san?" The weak voice of the blonde Sister drew her attention as she saw her hand trying to reach out for her.
"I'm here, Asia. Everything will be alright." Emilya reassuringly as she cut Asia down. Immediately afterwards she saw tears forming in the nun's eyes something she was trying to figure out as to why she was crying.
"Didā¦ did you knowā¦ that I wasā¦ excommunicated." Silence. Her voice was riddled with pain from whatever the Fallen had tried to do to her. "I was taken inā¦ by the Vaticanā¦ from an orphanage whenā¦ my power manifested andā¦ was called a Holy Maidenā¦ Everyone came to receiveā¦ healing from my blessingā¦ after I was finished withā¦ a session I found andā¦ healed an injured manā¦ but he turned outā¦ to be a Devilā¦ The Church claimed me toā¦ be a witch andā¦ hereticā¦ Never once in my serviceā¦ have I ever hadā¦ a friendā¦ So, when youā¦ and Issei-san called me thatā¦ I was so happyā¦ to be your friendā¦"
Ah, so that's what those tears were for. She had seen this look before. After allā¦ she had seen this look in so many of her visions that it was hard NOT to recognize it. It was joy. Pure and utter joy in finally receiving the one thing she'd wanted most in her life. The way she didn't get to live her life the way she wanted to. She lived a devout life to the Church and they threw her out for not knowing who she was healing. Removing a source of the blonde's happiness from her life. If Emilya ever found the one who made that claim and did this to the girlā¦ well they wouldn't be alive for much longer.
And at probably the strangest of times, a vision had passed through her mind at the way the pain stricken girl looked on the ground. She could see Illya lying in a futon, her eyes were a dull red as her body was too weak to move a muscle, a soft lustrous smile was on her face. And during all of thisā¦ she was holding onto her hand, tears streaming down her face as her sister laid there dying. The way Asia lookedā¦ made it seem redundant as it looked as if there was a way that she could relieve the girl of her pain. Once again, Emilya was in the position of where she could helpā¦ help to save the one who wanted a friend more than anything else. "It's alright Asia, I can heal you. Just stay still and everything will be just fine."
She delved into her Reality Marble in search for a Noble Phantasm. A Noble Phantasm that contained a powerful healing capabilityā¦ and she grasped it. The cool metal of the staff forming in her hand helped to alleviate some of the pinkette's worries as the soothing aura it gave off calmed her nerves in both the figurative and literal senses. With the bronze staff finished forming in her hand she held it above her head as high as her 4'5" stature would allow her.
"May this become a world where no one can hurt others and no one can be hurtā¦!" A rainbow aura formed around the circular piece at the top of the staff as it shined on Asia, Mittelt, and herself. "Pain Breaker!"
Asia wasn't sure what to expect once the staff had appeared in Emilya's hands, and she sure wasn't expecting it to remove the pain her body was in. She looked down to notice that while Mittelt herself began to stir none of her own injuries were being healed. So, not wasting another second the nun made her way over to the semiconscious Fallen and began to heal her.
After a few more minutes the blonde in Gothic Lolita began to stir from her unconsciousness. "Wh-what happened? The last thing I remember isā¦" She looked up to see Asia kneeling in front of her with a small pink-haired girl standing in front of the slashed cross.
"Asia-chan! Iā¦ I don't understand, they were going to take out your Sacred Gear. Theyā¦ they were going to kill you. How are you okay!?" The the girl spoke the last part softly as she slowly began to sit up and look the nun over. Emilya looked at Mittelt with slight curiosity as to what she meant.
"What do you mean, they were going to kill her? Isn't the Sacred Gear just a piece of equipment created by the Biblical God to be used by humans?"
Mittelt looked at Emilya with a confused stare as she decided to answer her. "You're not wrong about them being created by God, it's just thatā¦ The Sacred Gears are a part of the soul. So whenā¦ Raynareā¦ was going to take it out, she was willing to seal Asia-chan's fate." Emilya didn't know what to say to that as she merely looked at the two rings on the aforementioned nun's fingers.
"I'm sorry. We were just supposed to bring you back to the Grigori." Small streams of tears began to move down her face as she started to cry. "But, itā¦ it was all aā¦ a lie! And nowā¦ now none of us canā¦ can go back! None of us can go back home!"
Asia turned her head to look at the teary eyes Fallen with watery eyes of her own, but with a still present smile. "It's okay, Mittelt-sama. The Lord will surely forgive you for trying to protect me. If notā¦ then I forgive you and thank you for trying to save me." Asia's words to her fellow blonde didn't do much to comfort her as more tears just began to build up in her eyes.
Emilya wasn't entirely sure on what to say to the Fallen, as it seemed that she didn't know that only she and Dohnaseek were the ones being betrayed. She didn't know how to comfort the girl before her who was probably centuries older then herself. That is when she decided upon one of the simplest of choices: give her a hug.
