Landing with a steel weapon was not exactly a picnic, especially since her body seemed to react faster than she could make sense of. Zelda winced when she got to her feet, only to turn and be knocked off them again by a tendril of darkness. She felt something fissure within her and covered her mouth to stop the about she meant to issue, her back stinging and slowly growing numb. Despite the layers of clothes, she managed a peak at her skin under them and widened her eyes in shock. It was...it was growing black...s**t.
Keep cool, Zelda. That's how you managed so far.
Briskly the girl got back on her feet with a grunt, dusting herself off while her weapon, back to its usual chained sickle form, wrapped and bent unnaturally around her waist until needed.
"Good question," she said to Elspeth."A better one is what it's made of, but I doubt we'll get answers. Nice iob with the fans, by the way. Is every alright?" she then posed to the group, her eyes alighting on one of the fallen. This time, Zelda did hasten to help Melony up, offering a hand that would gruffly but quickly put her back on her feet. "I know that thing is good at landing hits, but we need to stay on our toes . . ."
She felt something in her other hand, a small crystal that seemed to radiate a calming energy - something from the monster she had nabbed while attacking. Perhaps this could be out to use . . .Either way, Zelda wasn't about to dare show how unsettled she was about the whole thing, not when it was easy to panic.
With a thought, Dani summoned her bow. Posing to aim her bow, she felt anger at the thing in front of her and let several arrows fly in quick succession.
The creature screeched and flailed its limbs, attempting to knock Dani out of the way and mess up her next shot.

Leaping out if the way and rolling when she landed, Dani looked back to find the ground she had been standing on cracked and broke up with the force and speed one of the creature's tentacle limbs had hit the ground with.
Clearly it was a lot stronger than she was, so attacking it head on was out of the picture. So long as she stayed out of the way and kept the thing at a proverbial arm's length, she had a better chance of defeating it.
Running along the ground and leaping into the air, Dani attacked it from the side, letting her arrows fly as fast as she could load them. A few missed, but that didn't matter. What mattered was killing this thing before it had another chance to attack.

Exhausted, Macy was ready to back down, to let the others who still had the energy left to do so fight on. She hadn't been injured, not by her own weapon, at least. The fire had seemed so natural to wield, and her bow that she still clutched tightly in one hand had faded back to it's wooden appearance. Not realizing there was any imminent danger to herself from the shadowy figure, she turned, giving a shy smile to those of her group that were nearby. Willow, Zelda, Taika, Melony, Poppy, Aria, Mairea, Tara, Vatatchi...she mentally checked off each, running their names through her head more to help commit them each to memory then anything else. She took steps towards them, hastening a retreat away from the danger that lay behind.
It had been a mistake to turn away from that...that monster! She caught sight of it out of the corner of her eye, a tendril that whipped around then came slicing through the air towards her. Her mouth opened to cry out, but the sound that escaped was one of startled pain, as the tendril lashed against her, hitting her square in the back and sending her stumbling forward. It cut through the fabric of her blouse, the pain like nothing she could ever imagine as it seared against her, her nerve endings feeling like they had been set aflame.
She had to keep moving. That was all she could think about. How she needed to get away from her assailant, to get herself to a safe distance away. She staggered forward, past Mairea and Zelda, stumbling to a halt and grasping her shoulder with her free hand, and craning her head around to try and catch sight of the place on her back that had been struck.
Blackened skin, faint tendrils of wispy black floating out and above it. She could see no blood, only a sickly taint that left her feeling uneasy, her legs suddenly beginning to tremble, her head becoming dizzy. She stretched fingers out and around herself to touch against the wound, and was surprised to find that the area felt numb
"W--wh--what did that thing d-d-do to me?" She whimpered, her shoulders hunching forward.
But even as she said it, she strangely..began to feel better? Her dizziness seemed to vanish, the trembling subsiding though not completely. Perhaps it had just been the initial shock of seeing such a strange looking wound that had made her feel so ill just a moment before, though out of sheer instinct, she felt a sudden need to dig out the orange hued gem that she had somehow hidden somewhere in her skirt. The sight of it was startling, the gem itself crisscrossed with tiny fissures and cracks, and thick tendrils of mist leaked out at the areas that looked at their worst. Was that...was it her Fear that was escaping? She had thought that it would be orange, like the gem itself....
Shaken, but not completely broken, Macy raised her large eyes to the group, some of which that looked worse for wear then others.
"I--Is ever--everyone a-a-alright?" She asked, her quiet stutter back full force. "M-Melony? Zelda?" She inched her way towards the two, green eyes blinking away the tears that had sprung forward from the pain of earlier. "C-can I..can I h-h-h..." She closed her eyes, and swallowed hard.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Lighting her bow and the last arrow she had docked in an impressive fire display, Dani let loose the final arrow and screamed out it's name as it flew. Burning Desire! Sadly, she took a little too long aiming and the creature had time to defend itself. In response, the creature pulled it's limbs in towards itself and compressed itself as small as it could, making it a much smaller target. The arrow itself missed, but the creature didn't escape the intense heat of the fire and it screamed in rage and pain.

The creature lashed out clumsily and managed to knock Dani to the ground by tripping her. Admittedly, the ground did more damage, but Dani was in no hurry to let the creature regain its strength again.
... just as soon as she could recover hers that is. Picking herself up glaring at the creature, Dani felt somewhat off balance and dizzy for a few seconds.
The feeling passed quickly, but Dani couldn't help the lingering feeling that was not really there. That was strange.

"What was my wish?" Kasumi repeated out loud. She tried to think back and remember what her wish might be but nothing came to her. She had slightly tuned out the creature as it continued talking so as to try and think back more but still nothing. She was about to ask the creature what kind of wishes might have been possible when something else interrupted, stealing for a fight.
The blond held out her hand out of reflex and a large throwing star appeared in her grasp. The mage threw the star at the new creature and was glad to see it did some damage.

Kasumi followed up the thrown star with quick kick and a slash with the star that reappeared in her hand. The throwing star started to spark then flames surrounded it and she readied herself to attack again.

Once she deemed the fire on the star big enough she pointed the star at the creature. In response to her will, fiery stars shot at the creature. "Flaming Stardust!" She called out. When the fiery stars hit the creature they exploded in multiple bursts of light and heat.

Kasumi didn't realize just how far of a reach the creature had until a tendril slammed into her back, causing her to cry out from the pain. She scowled at the creature and jumped to the side and back to get out of range of another attack then took the time to see what damage had been done.

Nice to meet you all, but it looks like we're up! She yelled while running off towards the unknown assailant. Reaching up into her hair and yanking a peacock feather from her braid, it transformed into a knotted, wooden staff adorned with more peacock and assorted feathers. Well, that was interesting. She hadn't consciously meant to do that. Apparently she must have some memory of what had happened to her before waking up here. Hmm. Let's see about that monster now!

Melony leaned on Zelda. "Thanks... I'll be okay," she said to Macy. "I've just..." she waved toward the little crystal that had fallen from her opponent. "Can you maybe pass that to me?" she asked.

Kleio's reaction earned a small smile and a weak laugh. "I...well, I mean, I've definitely been in better shape, but I guess I'm not too bad off considering. Don't worry about it." She reached out to give her newfound friend a reassuring pat on the shoulder
"Yeah...as is, I'm not sure how many of those crystals there are out there. It might be best to save them, but..." She turned her attention to Adelaide, "Where did that thing even come from anyways?" Perhaps there would be a way to gather them, or something of the sort? That would be the ideal, especially if they were expected to face any more of these things in the future. If another of these things--or, god forbid, a number of them--were to show up immediately after this one was vanquished...
A welcome distraction came in the form of a familiar voice calling out. Snapping her head up, the pale-haired girl's eyes widened as her gaze darted about in search for the owner of said voice. "Joce! Hey--we're here! Where are you?"
Well, take that! she screamed as she launched her staff at him. Wait, she threw her staff? That makes no sense she thought to herself while catching her breath. But just as that thought passed through her mind, her staff popped back into her hand. It had literally disappeared from where it had landed after striking the assailant and reappeared in her hand!
Yeah! She screamed triumphantly although the assailant barely seemed to notice her.
Let's see if you like this better she growled as she swung the staff at his head
