"I'd be forced to agree with you." China couldn't help her smile as her new creation left the storage-room. "And unless I'm very much mistaken, none of you bothered to warn the rest of the Sanctuary that this would be happening."
The answer to her implied question came only a moment later, in the form of a startled yelp from out in the hall. China was going to do her part to make sure the world believed these stone angels to be the subject of the worldwide visions, but it didn't look like she'd have to work too hard. That sort of conclusion would spread easily enough on its own. Shock was a good reactant in these circumstances.
It did, however, leave an unsettling question. China looked around to the other statue, frozen and inanimate for the moment. "The visions Sensitives have been having," she started, brow furrowed in thought. "They're not about these statues. They're about Gabriel and Raphael." That much she knew everyone would agree on, despite the phrase 'figures in white.' Maybe they represented themselves in the vision as something the Sensitive would be able to recognise. It didn't matter. "All the visions speak of them protecting our dimension from something. From what?"
Not from the Faceless Ones. There was no need; that portal was closed again, and there weren't any more Isthmus Anchors. But that made the question seem somehow even more unsettling.
