A Light in the Dark
Katima had been daydreaming when she felt it, the thick soul-churning conglomeration of emotions before they went entirely black.  Trouble.  She'd taken off immediately and tracked the disturbance--a brand new Black Lantern, much to her dismay.

Stop.

The utterance had captured the monster's attention at the same moment her feelings had and it turned on her, a sick smile twisting from it's razor-toothed maw...an undead Attrocitus-like being.  Fearsome.  But Katima did not know fear.  She did know faith.

Her opening shot had been very successful, summoning the void the monster now had for emotions and firing it back at him in an intense channel of black "light".  Her own feelings didn't spike and the being had expected to feed from something so the first strike was hard and he missed her, though barely, as he shot out his decaying hand to catch her throat.

Nok.

Back and forth it went before finally she had him cornered.  Had him weakened.  Had him in such a position where she could capture him...

Flesh.  Flesh.  Flesh.

The Black Lantern got in a solid swing at her, catching her on the jaw.  The pain shot anger through her and she couldn't stay it.  It was enough, enough to bolster the being who got in another blow, sending her backwards into space with some force before it turned itself and headed towards its true destination:  the nearby planet Earth.

Oh no...

She wasn't going to be able to stop him alone so she gathered up her power, her staff glowing brightly as she sent out  a message to any that would hear her....

"HELP!"

"Agreed. And eventually, Nekron will learn."

"I dunno," he replies. "Powerful cosmic entities sometimes have a hard time catching a clue."

"Then we keep dealing the clues. It's what we do. It is our duty." She nods. Duty is important to her. Doing the right and good thing is clearly something she takes great pride in.

He nods, in agreement. He, too, knows duty.

"Sounds like a plan, Katima."
