Her wings start to glow a warm golden, as so does her skin. Healing. She was healing him.
When the glow starts to burn a bit, she lets go, tears still in her eyes, and flies away, leaving behind a golden feather, somehow.

He looks up after her. "What... Just happened?" [spoiler]He wasn't hurt. That was just mild light exhaustion. He just needed a recharge.[/spoiler]

Lunar was still there, with Fionn. "She may have been shown true darkness, but her Light remained pure. That's why the transfusion worked, I suspect. She saw that you were pale, and attempted to heal you. When someone she is healing is fully healed, her Light aura gives off a burning sensation on her skin," Lunar explained, "Otherwise... why she left... she doesn't like being seen as weak, so she tries not to let her demons and curses consume her. She does this so much, she hits a breaking point, that can be triggered by a thought."
-
"Sounds like she could use some friends." Fionn says, leaning against a nearby lamp post. "That took a lot o' light..."
-
"She has plenty of friends any many close and super close friends. They just... aren't here. Another reason for the whole, [i]Don't Like Being Seen as Weak[/i] thing, is apart of something I call, [i]Younger Sister Syndrome[/i]."
-
"Oh, Fionn can relate to that. Remember what Pox and Chrome called you, little Finny?" Wisp says, appearing over his shoulder. Fionn rolls his eyes.
-
"No, I'm serious. Sarah has a sibling."
-
"So do I, albeit a younger one." Fionn replies, picking up the feather that fell.
-
"Here's the thing. Sarah [i]is[/i] the younger one. And her sister isn't much older than her."
-
"And I'm guessing she feels like she needs to prove she aint so 'lil?" Fionn asks.
-
"Bingo," Lunar said, "At this point, we should start chasing Sarah down."
-
"Agreed. Which way?" He asks, concentrating on her light signature and the trail it made. [spoiler]If I make my character seem to have too many abilities, let me know and I'll edit.[/spoiler]
-
"I've already got her coordinates. She's atop the tallest mountain," Lunar replied.
-
"Great... Can you two transmat me? I'm still recoverin' a bit from the light drain." He asks sheepishly.
-
"I'd have to put you a short distance from the top," Lunar replied, "We can't let her escape again."
-
"Aye, that'll work. Won't she just sense me comin' again?"
-
"She might. She might not. She may know and not care. But's just Sarah being Sarah. You never know what she'll do next. Wisp, I set you the coordinates. Up to you to get Fionn there." With that, Lunar transmatted himself on the slopes of the mountain.
-
"Well, 'ere goes nothin'..." Wisp transmats Fionn to the coordinates.
-
Lunar is hovering over Fionn's left shoulder.
-
Fionn looks around. "You weren' kidding abou' the tallest mountain... It's bloo'y cold up 'ere." He mutters, his breath forming a cloud of frost in the air.
-
"As long as your legs aren't frozen together, you should be able to triple jump to the top."
-
Fionn nods and begins his treck to the peak.
-
Upon reaching the top of the peak, you see no sign of Sarah. Not a good sign.
-
"Sarah?! Where are ya?" He calls, slightly worried.
-
Lunar runs a scan. "My scanners are going haywire, they're saying she's 5 feet in front of me." Under your feet, some sort of ice breaks and you fall into a cavern completely made of ice, frost, and snow.
-
"Gah!" He twists around, using his ligh to bend the momentum of his fall into a double jump and landing on his feet.
