The van's back faced a backdoor, it opened and 2 masked men got out, one stood on each side, then six girls that looked between 7 and 12 got out and went inside of the brothel. Jin couldn't believe her eyes. Tedra rushed inside to see what was happening, while feeling like her heart was taken and squeezed dry. The girls were trembling and the dirty thick male voices that ordered them around didn't help calm them down, if one starts crying she would be smitten. The girls were up for either rent or purchase.

In about half an hour a man walked down and picked one of the girls, he paid a pretty penny for a night with her and he got it. Both got escorted to a soundproof room in a floor under the one they were in, and Tedra snuck inside with them. The lights were all red, and before anything could happen to the girl, Tedra had to decide on which ability to use so she telepathically spoke to Jin.

"Jin, I have either "the shield & the mirror" that I can use to make him feel guilty and protect her from the trauma, or I can use air binding to suffocate him.

-Both. Kill him then give her a shield.

-Kill? No way, I won't allow myself to do that, I'll just make him faint.

-Why feel bad for the f*cker? What? Do you think he'll wake up one day and f*cking repent or something? He will continue to be how he is now and he doesn't deserve to see the light of day, if I were there I would've not hesitated to send him into the void.

-our main mission is to make sure the child is safe, making sure the man gets punished is the secondary priority. Do not let wrath overpower compassion. Let me take care of it for now.

-Please do. I'm on my way."

Tedra realised she does not know how to move air yet,

"Hyner, I'm freaking out, how do I suffocate him

-You need to take air out of his lungs and prevent it from getting back to him until he faints.

-I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to move the air around.

-air is around you, it is always touching your skin. Close your eyes, I know he's getting undressed and that is not going to help you focus..

-HE'S GOING TO R*PE HER.

-And if you keep shouting and freaking out instead of focusing, he will. There is no other choice but to close your eyes, so please do it. Good. Take deep breaths until you calm down. Good. Now I want you to slowly move your arms around and feel the air interacting with your skin.

-I got it."

While moving her arms around, Tedra felt the air, and in a sudden she welded it to herself, she then lashed it at the guy, the gust of air kicked him to the wall, he was so confused he thought he tripped. He did feel the air but he didn't think air could be strong enough to push him, but then he looked around to see if there were any windows, and there were none. He was too horny to keep wondering what happened so he just grabbed the girl by the hair, and when Tedra saw that, her eyes started glowing, as Hyner just entered his offensive state, a state he only enters when he feels that his purpose is being violated, and being the spirit of life, killing is a violation to him, the man was not going to kill the body of the girl, but rather her soul. Air blew through the whole room in circular motion, separating them from each other, when it stopped, Tedra deflated all of his lungs and collapsed his airway. He grabbed his throat and started gasping for air, then he started hitting the walls but they were soundproof, usually the little girls are the ones who hit the wall as a desperate final attempt to get help, and now the old man is feeling how sh*t being helpless feels. Once he fainted, Tedra revealed herself to the crying girl.

"Don't worry, you're not in trouble, there is no way they would think you can take him down like that, they would just think that he choked. I'm here to protect you, I promise you nothing bad is going to happen to you, as long as I'm here."

The girl went in to hug Tedra a very long hug, during which Tedra used "the radiant emittee" to calm the girl down, and it worked like a charm.

"What's your name?

-Ala.

-How old are you Ala?

-Nine. I have a question.

-Of course, what is it?

-Are you an angel? Did God send you to me?"

Tedra broke at that question and tears streamed down her face like water from a faucet. She put her head down so the girl doesn't see her crying and she told Hyner "do not stop emitting the positivity radiation for as long as I'm speaking to her.

-Doing it for too long will tire you out.

-I don't care.

-Well I do, because you need energy so you can exit safely and potentially save the girls, you can't use it all on one.

-You're right. Well, when you feel like she became calm enough not to need magic to converse anymore, stop it.

-Now we're on the same boat"

She then lifted her head up and wiped her tears and said.

"Yes, honey, God sent me to save you.

-I knew he wouldn't forget about me.

-He won't. Can you tell me what happened? Where are your parents? How did you get here?

...

What Tedra didn't hear, is that while she was talking to that girl, another one got rented.

...

-I don't know..I woke up one day and saw nothing but a man telling me that I'm going to do what he tells me or I'll get hurt.

(Hyner to Tedra)-ask her if she knows where her house is.

-do you know where you live?

-I do.

(Hyner to Tedra)-That's all we need to know. If we go there with Opal we will know what happened.

(Tedra to Hyner)-Why Opal?

(Hyner to Tedra)-He can extract memories from people, and even things. If we take him to Ala's mother, he will be able to know what happened in great detail.

(Jin to Tedra)-Tedra, I'm here.

(Tedra to Jin)-Perfect, we need to cause some distraction and in the midst of it I'll try to take the children with me.

-Do you want the distraction to be peaceful or hazardous?

-Peaceful, I don't want to make a scene.

-Sure thing, get the girl ou-OUCH. F*CK.

-What's happening Jin? Are you being attacked?

-F*CK THIS PAIN IS SO BAD. Sothpheria, what is happening?

(Sorhperia)-A spirit just died in the proximity.

(Tedra)-What does that mean?...oh, oh no."

Jin bore the pain and started advancing towards the brothel, she entered and started walking up the stairs, when a worker spotted her he tired to stop her, she looked at him and said "I think you have a bigger thing to worry about", he started seeing smoke and quickly noticed that his clothes and hair caught on fire, due to Jin's fire abilities.

...

Tedra busted out of the room and started kicking all of the doors open, until she stumbled across the one where the deed was happening, and it was too late. She...
