Heaven stretched out beside Haxley, looking up into the night sky. It was actually really early in the morning most likely, but she honestly didn't care. The events of merely hours before still played in her head, over and over again and she couldn't help a smile appearing on her lips.
She hadn't even thought about what the consequences would be, in typical Heaven fashion. Vaguely she heard people's voices asking what she was doing--and that was when she did it. The skull totem of Tiamat appeared for the third time on Popper's, Hunters of Tiamat appearing earlier that evening, and Heaven had felt nothing but evil from the light surrounding it with her magic. So she had done the only thing she could do, she surrounded her hands with magic, and grabbed a hold of it. She managed to get rid of it, but at the expense of a great deal of her magic, which even now was nearly completely regained.
The scream that erupted from her lips, however, alerted the others behind her that something had gone very wrong.. and her hands, raw, and burnt, still hurt considerably, even after being healed.
But, more importantly, it was such a selfless act, the taint that Anshar's moonstones left on her soul.. was completely gone. She felt as she did, before the moonstones were brought back to land by Lone in the first place.. more neutral in her standings, with a bit of frisky chaos, as she once did.
Heaven smiled again and looked at Haxley's presumably sleeping form.
It was nice to feel more normal again. Her magic even felt less dark than before. Falson was sure to notice a difference the next time she was at Dragon's Watch, and she wanted to see the look on that paladin's face when she looked at her soul.
Heaven bit her lip, stiffling laughter.
Heaven was definitely chaotic, perhaps now more than ever before, however, she was very glad she did what she did--and she would do it again to save the town--in a heartbeat.
