Rika of the Winds

Using her above human agility, Rika makes a sprinting leap for the Eclipse Torch as Lashiec holds it high. He was planning to break the globe and extinguish the torch to keep it from Lutz and company. Rika was able to pull off a last minute save that would make Shir proud, signaling that Lashiec is truly beaten.

That's a good image.

For some reason or other, when I first saw it, the first thing that came into my mind was " Up, Up, and Away"!

She does look like she's flying, doesn't she?

hah i knew what this image was gonna be just by reading the name.. She's like some pointy eared ninja

Lashiec: What the!!!

Rika: Ninpo! *vanishes in smoke cloud*

Lachiec: NOOOO *melts*

Chaz: Awwwwwsooommmeee

On a serious note, I always thought this was weird.. The flame is strong enough to destroy the carnivorous trees, something that the extense heat of Foi and Flaeli could not do, and yet its just cool enough to be able to be grasped by human hands.

That's magic for you, I guess. When I was preparing this image, I had a similar thought, though. The torch is supposed to destroy evil stuff - don't you think it should have had an effect on Lashiec himself, too? He's got to be just as "unclean" as the Trees.

Maybe Lashiec's gloves are eclipse-torch-fire-proof. ^^

I guess you must be right. It's too bad none of the games let us take Lashiec's armor and use it. I bet it would give some nice stat bonuses.

I agree with that one Thoul. Just imagine the special effects. =D

But yeah... two things is all I got to say..

Rika: TOUCHDDOWN!
Lashiec: Noooooo!!!

Or...

Rika: I got the power!
Lashiec: OW!

Bumping up this former Image Of The Day!
