He was in trouble, wasn't he? He had made some sort of mistake. Had Lydia found out about what happened in the Eldritch Hat? To that civilian? If that was the case, that was his fault and his alone. There was no need to drag Waylynn into this, too! He was the rearguard. It was his duty to ensure that no harm befell the group at large. And yet...
Why had Lydia of all people insisted that the family do a dungeon? Where was Hania? Gods damn it, where. Was. Hania?! Besides Waylynn, he was the only other person in the family whom he had both respect and a liking for. It was just a shame that whenever he saw him, Lydia just happened to be near. It wouldn't be an issue if the entire family (bar Typhon and Cooper) were here, but it just happened to be the twins. Not just that, having to be stuck this close to Lydia was...
Well, whatever. He had made sure to be the first to show up today here in arguably the most beautiful location in the Forsaken Region, rivaled only by Sivert Lake. He absolutely did not want to keep Lydia of all people waiting, though he also knew she had a history of, ironically, doing the same to others. Waylynn being in Hage gave her a bit of an edge to show up faster, but this time Michail had gone out of his way to make sure he showed up on time, leaving a day earlier than really necessary so as to ensure he had plenty of rest.
Of course, that also meant having to hunt. As a Noble, he had been shown how to hunt, and that wasn't too much an issue. However, he was quite ... well, terrible, when it came to the process of skinning his food, and thus the young man just stuck to simple fish. Easy to cook, no need to skin 'em. The flavor wasn't too bad either. Especially given an unusual trait that many didn't give him credit for.
Not only did he know how to cook, but he was actually quite skilled at cooking. He was a picky eater, so the cooks usually never made his food how he liked it. As a result, he decided he would teach himself how to cook, and so he did. And of course, as a Magic Knight and as a noble, he had been taught how to hunt, but that was just for sport. As a result, he had no idea how to skin an animal so that it could be properly eaten and cooked.
Even still, the instances of needing to hunt were few and far between, as he made sure to stop in on towns regularly so as to get some food. To that end, he was still well prepared for worst-case scenarios as he set up camps before finally arriving at what amounted to practically be the complete opposite end of the kingdom, right on the border of the Heart Kingdom.
Michail felt it be best to wait outside the entrance to the Basin, so as everyone could meet up with another. He was largely unfamiliar with this area, not really having to venture to this point, and on more than one occasion, did have to ask to ensure he was on the right path. It wasn't that he was bad with directions; this was just incredibly foreign territory to him, and so it would have been easy to mess up if he wasn't careful. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.
Michail strayed just a little bit, though still very much close to the entrance as he looked over at his reflection in a nearby brook. His mantle was still in pristine condition, nestled over his shoulders. His flamboyant and eccentric hair was still just as impossibly arranged as ever and...
He gently placed a hand over his scar.
Yes. That was still there. "...why?" he thought to himself while he had some downtime.

Waylynn had woken up early that morning, well earlier even than she had wanted to considering how rowdy the Green Mantis base would get sometimes. She had enough time to pack a lunch, if they did need to stop half way perhaps they would have the time for it, and it was one of her favorites plum filled rice balls, surely everyone could appreciate such a snack if they were resting. That done she was happy to get out of the building… again, it almost seemed like she was fighting with the residents more than working with them half of the time but that must just be their own oafishness causing her to lash out. Now wasn’t the time though, she was headed to another dungeon with Michail and after the rather tepid time they had last time she was feeling confident. Nothing out of the ordinary for her though for some reason it had gotten Michail very focused on improving.
She made her way to the Basin from Hage not exactly a short walk but easily one she could make before the time that Lydia had decided they should meet. Perhaps though this was one of the ways their cousin was trying to train them, after all they had recently finished a ‘training’ with the generals of carrion perhaps she had considered it prudent to show them things that were supposedly above their current level. Then again maybe she was just dragging them along because the entrance wouldn’t open for her unless there was a weaker average of mana strength. Either way it was a good chance for the salt mage to train. She was vaguely aware of her spirit companion following behind her, of course she already knew where they were going but maybe she wasn’t quite as fond of some of the family as she could be to Waylynn herself.
She hadn’t realized Michail would have gotten there so early though, seeing him standing outside the basin was a bit surprising. ”Early? I suppose I should have guessed with Lydia being the one inviting us this time hmm. Well either way, we should make our way to the dungeon entrance, no doubt it will do us no good waiting on this side when she could just as easily have come from the other way.” Uncharacteristically her spirit stayed quiet, although she did do a lap around Michail’s head before flying back over to circle Waylynn. She started walking towards the rumored location of the dungeon. ”You’re too wound up, I know how it is but there’s no reason you’d even be in trouble today, let alone the both of us. If you don’t relax a little Salena will try and scare you for fun you know.” The spirit shot her a ‘dirty’ look as if she had ruined a planned joke.

[attr="class","florencetext"] Lydia at times felt as if she was cursed with always running late even if she was the fastest mage in the kingdom. However such was the fate of someone who had as many duties as she did. That didn't mean it annoyed her any less as it seemed even if she planned everything around going to a dungeon or something another that needed her attention would come up before she could leave. It was honestly not ideal in the slightest but there wasn't much she could do. On the bright side it meant she wouldn't have to wait on others to show up but she also didn't like to keep others waiting. Her plan of the day was only to take Michail and Waylynn into a new dungeon. It was more training and the dungeon or question was more than the two could probably handle. [break][break] However this time she wasn't trying to test there actual magic skill but more so how they could think and adapt against stronger foes and if they could work together to take them down. Of course Lydia would help as she wasn't going to make the other do all the work. Luckily the paperwork didn't take the vice captain to long to finish up. Lydia normally liked to run to dungeons and missions. However seeing as she was already late she would use a spatial mage to take her as close as possible before running the rest of the way. It was no surprise the others were already waiting for the glass mage. Sorry I'm a little late some things came up that I had to deal with but we can head inside now. Assuming the two of you are ready?

Due to his low sensory ability, Michail hadn't quite picked up on Waylyn's presence until the very last second. That was to say, until she had spoken up. Caught off guard, the younger Ravencrest simply burst into laughter at his sister's words, dismissing at least part of them. He'd make it no secret in front of his sister just how afraid of Lydia he was, though he never went outright and said that. "Though it's entirely possible she took a different route, her sensory prowess is second to none within Clover's Magic Knights. I very much doubt she'd do that. We should assume this is another training exercise, and thus leaving us after inviting us would be quite silly of our beloved cousin," Michail responded.
He had already gotten a glimpse of her spirit when they were in Carrion, however, it never ceased to amaze him. Yes, Waylynn truly was great. She was strong. Truthfully, Michail admired that from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps one day he could be chosen by something just as great. Wouldn't that be a laugh?
Still, his sister brought up a point that he felt prudent to dismiss. Not for anyone's sake but for his, of course. Though he knew deep down he was under a lot of stress, he couldn't show it. No... more accurately...
"Dear sister, what are you talking about? I assure you, I'm fine. I do appreciate the concern though."
he had to lie to himself.
Not long after this little exchange, Lydia had shown up. Immediately, Michail tensed right back up. He still wasn't quite sure what he thought of her, but that wasn't the point. "Though I wouldn't be so bold as to speak for my sister, I would imagine that she's more than ready for this as well," Michail said with a smile to their elder cousin. The head of the family. She who held the entire Ravencrest lineage upon her shoulders.
The Vice-Captain of the Crimson Lions, Lydia Ravencrest. One of the most powerful mages in the world right now. And...
His eyes shot to Waylynn. His sister's goal.
"Well, let's get going."
[ floor 1, room 1 ]
Into the dungeon, the trio went. Truthfully, Michail was impressed by the beauty. To think something like this could have popped up in the Forsaken Region. Between this and Silvert Lake, one would have almost thought these to have been ported from the Noble Realm. Tall trees hung over them, basking them in the glow of twilight. It would have been easy for any less egomaniacal souls to feel dwarfed and lesser by comparison, but Michail's oblivious ego could not be challenged by a product of nature itself.
Truthfully he wished it possible to port over this landscape to the Carrion Kingdom. Such beauty was befitting of the Ravencrests, but truthfully he would much rather go without the likely dangers that lurked within. Between the chirping birds, the gorgeous trees, and blooming flowers, it was enough to almost drop Michail's guard, but even without the sensory prowess of Lydia, he was still more than capable of knowing just how out dangerous a dungeon could be. He refused to drop his guard, for any and everything could try to k-
was that an apple tree?
The three had been traveling for some time, and Michail was growing more and more infatuated with this place. Part of him had almost entirely lost the will to fight, developing a sort of serenity here; however, he knew better. Even if this place seemed peaceful, it was a dungeon. And it was inside a dungeon that his first major failure had occurred, with more happening after that. No matter how peaceful it looked, it could take lives.
It would take lives.
However, as aware of that fact as he was, he also knew that dungeons contained treasures. Powerful and valuable items that one could use as boons for themselves. If that was the case, then surely these apples were no different. They were so ripe, so red. Like rubies. And not just that, it wouldn't kill him to have a snack, would it? Approaching the nearest tree with Lydia and Waylynn in tow, he examined it.
Grabbing an apple, he examined it for a moment, before... taking a bite out of it. "This is tasty!" Michail exclaimed happily, and without any hesitation taking some more bites, before he heard some shaking in the tree above.
That wasn't good, as he immediately jumped back out of the way the moment he heard something coming above. To his surprise, he found himself moving with a bit more ease. And he oddly felt more rejuvenated. However, no sooner had he realized that than various creatures began falling down from the trees. They were spherical and looked like larger apples than what he had seen so far. What was going on? They seemed so... cute. Was this some sort of trap to catch them off guard?
Immediately, Michail switched to an offensive position as his grimoire ready, his attention on the four rotunds close to him. They were all positioned to be immediately in front of him, falling from the trees nearby. However, that gave him a clear advantage, aside from the one that was right in front of him, less than two meters away. The others were at least eight meters away. The blonde immediately readied his first spell. "Blood Magic: The Crimson Standard!" he shouted.
Two crimson spear-like projectiles were launched forth, hitting the one closest to him and another, cleaving through as a crimson 'flag' showed up through their impaled round bodies. The spears were able to hit their targets, but there were still the two remaining that caused an issue, one of them managing to barrel towards Michail in this process.
Thinking quick, Michail activated his junior-level defensive spell, his skin turning crimson in the process. But in doing so, he was capable of effectively nullifying the attack, though his armor wasn't capable of sustaining itself further. But that was fine. Now, it was in range for a trick of his own; his own recently enhanced spell. It had gained too much headway for him to properly dodge this, so the best he could do was tank it. However, that was enough.
Using the durability granted to him, he pushed his hands in front of him, to catch the mobile creature as the impact shattered his armor; however, it did not make it any less impactful, allowing him to use this opportunity to usher in his new spell
"Blood Creation Magic: Really Awesome Bloodblade!" the youth declared, as two swords of his trademark blood magic appeared floating above him.
One of them was sent directly into the spinning creature, ceasing its momentum as the strike held enough force to impale and kill it. The other sword fell into his hand after that, as the other creature came barreling towards him. Spinning around it thanks to the enhanced mobility granted to him, even if just barely, he managed to rotate himself in such a way that he was able to strike the apple as it came speeding by at seven meters, cutting it not quite through, but enough to kill it.
There. That was four enemies dealt with. Unfortunately, Michail was the one closest to these four, so he had to exert a bit of effort on this one. What a terrible showing for him.
He glanced up at the tree. "...that really was a tasty apple though..." he thought to himself, as if trying to bring some comfort to himself in this moment for making a fool of himself.
Dug In: If a player decides to remain within the same 5 meters during a post, their defense spells gain +5 durability. For every additional post they remain fix, this increases by +1. Capping after 5 rounds.
Description: Blood Magic: Hyper Ultra Bloodcrest Armor is a Defense Creation Spell that covers Michail's entire body. A result of this gives his skin a blood red appearance. Though to call it "armor" is very generous; it's quite thin. It is decent enough at fending off attacks, especially attacks that aren't magically reinforced, however. Against other attacks of equal rank, it's passable, at the bare minimum, but still leaves a lot to be desired.[break][break]
It's more accurate to say that this thin armor is more something to use in addition to the mana skin, acting as an in between layer, due to it's inability to protect clothing. However, this armor is capable of growing even stronger when Michail remains still, allowing more mana to more easily be formed to cling to it.
Elemental Type: Blood Rank & Spell Type: Intermediate, Attack Creation Range & Speed: 40m, 25m/s Mana Cost: 20 | 10 Stats Effected: +4 POW Applicable Perks: Apex Predator, Quick Shot, Artillery Support Description: A somewhat normal spell name. The Crimson Standard takes the name from a book Michail read and loved. However, this book is incredibly obscure so very few people know of it. However, this spell is incredibly simple in its usage. After the spell has been cast, a spear will be shot out at a higher speed than what is thought normal for a Spell of this rank. If it impales anything -- regardless of the target -- a flag will grow out of the spear, turning it into a flag pole with the resemblance of the Carrion Kingdom's own flag. This does nothing, however. It is purely Michail bragging. The actual impalement is capable of [Intermediate] damage, however.
Of course, he is capable of unleashing multiple copies of these spears. For every 15 [CON] he has, he can make more.
Elemental Type: Blood Rank & Spell Type: Intermediate, Attack Creation Range & Speed: 40m, 25m/s Mana Cost: 20 | 10 Stats Effected: +4 POW Applicable Perks: Apex Predator, Quick Shot, Artillery Support Description: Blood Creation Magic: Really Awesome Bloodblade is Michail's "Plan B" for dealing with opponents, or also his "finishing" spell (or whatever the equalivent for a Junior ranked spell is). Visually, it as bare-bones as a sword could possibly be. The "hilt" is made to be wielded with one hand, with the pommel being reminiscent of a raven upon it. The crossguard is a completely horizontal surface without any details in it, roughly as wide as Michail's hand is when completely open, fingers stretched out. The sword itself is no different than any standard European sword, either, if not a bit on the thinner end of things. The swords have very minute ability to be controlled magically, in the sense it's a magical connection that can cause them to launch, but cannot be controlled currently once launched. However, they are suspended in the air by magic till he grabs them, and can still be grabbed with after the fact, as long as he keeps paying to sustain the Spell.
However, its lack of detail aside, the most impressive thing about this sword is, despite being made out of blood, it is fully solid. It can function as a sword (at least, when compared to other spells of the same rank). It is capable of dealing [Intermediate] damage upon making contact, and aim to pierce their targets.
Similarly to Very Very Crazy Arrow Go, he can craft as many of these swords for every 15 [CON] due to [Artillery Support]. By default, they will appear in front of him, eventually circling around him with the blades facing outward. All of the swords appear within arms reach and can be ejected at will. Unlike Very Very Crazy Arrow Go, the main purpose of this is to cause lacerations, weak as they might be for its rank.
After the dungeon and a certain witch's comment, Michail went to work on upgrading this specific spell, feeling immense guilt for not being able to save the citizen at the dungeons end so that he could become more reliable.

Lydia showed up sooner than later, well it wasn’t all that surprising she supposed even if she was busy making time to go into new dungeons was probably something that she would enjoy doing. Even if the estimated ranking of the phenomena was well below hers it was higher than either Waylynn or her brother, something akin to another ‘controlled danger’ like the family training. ”Of course, Michail I’ll be heading in then.”
Floor 1 Area 1
It was dence, not in a difficult way but even with no effort on her part Waylynn could feel the magic was more condensed as soon as they crossed the threshold to the dungeon. It was far different than the first she had encountered, the Eldritch Home had a mild sense of wrongness that could be ignored but this, it was something else. The feel the dungeon gave off was grander, and its effects more subtle at the same time but it was undoubtedly the inside of a dungeon. She was of course wery of going towards any of the actual features of the dungeon, so much so that she hadn’t even noticed when Michail had gone to pick an apple for himself. She was near one of the other trees in the orchard but close enough to walk to it. ”Are they?” She plucked one of the apples, it was probably not the greatest idea but Michail had already tested it and he was hardly dying. She bit into it and immediately tried to spit it back out, succeeding in swallowing it from coughing. ”Have you taken leave of your senses, these are so bitter I nearly had to vomit.” She wanted to clean her mouth of the awful flavor immediately but she didn’t have the time to retrieve her bag of snacks before the creatures started spawning out of the trees, possibly angered by the apples being eaten in the first place? She went to move but one of them landed on her head, making a cracking noise as it bounced off her manaskin and knocked her off balance for another one to try and drop onto her stomach.
”Shoot!” Salena shouted at her, there were probably more looking to drop the same way and she couldn’t afford to just be hit over and over again like that. She followed the spirit’s advice simply activating and detonating her spell just in front of where she was laying on the ground shooting it up into the tree and blasting the rest of the apples and the one that had already dropped on her as well as the leaves and regular apples. ”Salena Bomb” She picked herself up off the ground and rubbed her head and stomach, both of which hurt a bit, even though she didn’t actually get hit in the latter. The leaves and things started raining back down ever so slowly. ”Yeh don’t eat those.”
Name of Spell: Salena Bomb[break] Elemental Type: Salt[break] Rank & Spell Type: Intermediate Attack Creation/Hex Creation[break] Range & Speed: 20 m/s, 40 M, 20 Meter Radius[break] Mana Cost: 20/10[break] Stats Effected: +4 Power/ -6 Durability [break] Applicable Perks: Staggering Curse, Apex Predator[break] Description: Waylynn sends a ball of salt forward and then causes it to detonate covering a 20 meter radius Semi-Circle away from Waylynn's position, as long as it doesn't travel out of the 40 meter range of the spell, enemies hit by the resulting burst of salt will take intermediate damage and be knocked back away from the explosion by 4 meters + 5 meters for every ten power Waylynn possesses. Durability is reduced on targets hit reducing the amount debuffed by 1 per additional target and increasing the debuffed amount by 1 for every round the Hex is maintained. This can also suppress or prevent Buffs and Healing may even be reversed if Waylynn has the appropriate power in a clash

[attr="class","florencetext"] Floor 1 Room 1 [break] Lydia would follow the younger two Ravencrest into the dungeon. It wasn't like her to take the rear as she was normally the vanguard. However in this case her holding the backline meant they would more than likely run into the mana beast first meaning the two twins wouldn't be able to wait for Lydia to attack and would have to attack first. Well that was all in theory of course there was a chance they could always freeze up or something. Which would be a problem but the two weren't in any real danger. After awhile of walking the three Ravencrest would spot an apple tree. Which Michail was quick to take an apple from and eat it. It wasn't the smartest choice in the glass mages mind but she also had years of experience in dungeons over the two. [break][break] Luckily it seemed nothing happened to the male Ravencrest. He would even go so far as to say they were tasty which lead to Waylynn to take an apple from the tree and try to eat it as well. However it seemed that hers wasn't as good. However there was no time to debate on who's taste were bad or not as mana beast would start dropping from the tree. The vice captain would easily avoid the Appleround as it hit the ground Lydia would kick it full force like a soccer ball into the tree. The force of the kick as well as the impact would cause the mana beast to splatter against the tree. As the next one try to drop onto her the Ravencrest would simply catch it would of the air before using her raw strength to rip it in half even if it did take a lot of effort. The third one would then roll on the ground a bit before launching itself into the air aiming right at Lydia. However the vice captain would meet the attack with her own fist caving in a part of it's head while her mana skin flashed as it still managed to deal some damage to her. [break][break] Lydia would side step the fourth one causing it to crash into the tree instead of her. While it was dazed she would kick it into the air before punching it back toward the ground causing this was to splatter all over the ground and her boots. During her own fight she had of course been keeping an eye on her two family members and noticed that Waylynn had taken a hit from one of the mana beast. Waylynn if you need to be healed don't be afraid to ask. You both also got lucky with the apples they could have been poisoned for all we know. I recommend that you don't just eat random food in a dungeon no matter how good it looks. Anyway we should keep moving.

"Eh?"
Waylynn's reaction to the apple caught him off guard. Why was it that he felt rejuvenated but she had not? Was it because these apples didn't have enough salt for her liking? No, there was something more to it. Were some poisonous and some not? The possibility wasn't zero, something he realized only with hindsight. He couldn't help it though! He was hungry! But looking at it objectively, that could have been the equalivent of suicide. He was lucky he got off with just that.
"Perhaps there's just not enough salt on them for you my dear sister?" the younger twin asked, unable to resist the urge to get a jab in all the same.
Of course, at this point, the group was under siege by the adorable apple creatures, though they managed to quickly neutralize them. Admittedly, Michail almost didn't want to. They were surprisingly cute...
Lydia reminded them how foolish it was to try eating the apple after the fact. Michail had no excuse and thus said nothing. It didn't seem like it had any immediate effects against his sister at least, so that was good. "...Of course, cousin," Michail said to Lydia before the family moved their way to the next part of the forest once the applerounds were all dealt with.
With the orchard now behind the family, there was a meadow in the distance. This time, however, Michail would make sure to finely tune his senses. His vision and ears were the most important assets to him, and because of his inability to properly sense magic, the youth did have a bit more talent than most -- even if just barely -- when it came to the more mundane methods of sensory. Of course, one did not really need any of those things to take notice of the trembling earth and sound of footsteps in a manner akin to sprinting from animals. "Three o'clock, Waylynn!" Michail called out in warning to his sister.
There were too many incoming; even though he specialized in long-distance attacks in quantity, there were far too many for him to actually strike. "Blood Magic: Hyper Mega Deluxe Crimson Bird!" he declared as two large crimson "bird"-like creatures resembling ravens appeared near Michail and Waylynn. They were large enough to carry both of them, though obviously there was one for each.
He knew that Lydia not only would have sensed this incoming stampede and though she could probably do something about it, blindly trusting that she would take care of everything on her own was unwise. This was meant to be for further training. Or perhaps she just wanted to see more closely how far each of them had come since their training in Carrion. Whatever it was, he didn't know. All he knew was...
The birds were summoned, and Michail quickly got on top of the golem closest to himself, using it to ascend into the air to avoid the oncoming stampede. Just when he thought he could use this chance to restore his mana further... well, it was unavoidable. He didn't want to rely on Lydia anymore than absolutely necessary. If he had the means to do something, he needed to do so. If it was above what he could feasibly handle, he would do what he could, but he would need to rely on Lydia. But even then, he wanted to keep it to a minimum.
Of course, the moment Waylynn got onto the Blood Golem summoned near her, he also caused hers to fly up as well to avoid the stampede. He didn't need to summon one for Lydia; it would have been wasteful. She was more than capable of flying as well, and her own speed was faster than anything he could conjure up. Was that inconsiderate of him? He wasn't sure. He thought it would be more inconsiderate to show someone of her strength concern and use undue effort for that purpose. But she was still family -- the head of such. Was it rude? Should he have? He didn't know, but he didn't really have the luxury of thinking over it now...
While the stampede was ongoing, he kept on things from afar to carefully gauge when it would end.
Element: Blood[break] Rank: Junior[break] Size: Up to 2m[break] Mana Cost: 10 | 5[break] Type of Golem: Predator[break] Applicable Perks: Ease of Creation[break] Description: Blood Creation Magic: Hyper Mega Deluxe Crimson Bird and Blood Creation Magic: Super Cool Ultra Crimson Beast were inspired by Michail when he saw the Black Bull's Chisana in action. He thought to himself, "I can do that, too." And so he went to work training so that he could create golems after the dungeon, refusing to be bested when it comes to producing quantity in magic, but also respecting the notion of letting others fight for him instead of having to do it himself. Something he oddly never considered before.[break][break]
The golem takes the form of a solidified raven, clad in blood instead of its usual black color. It seems that it constantly drips blood, thus giving away its position when flying, but Michail cares little for that. What he cares more about is that he can use these for distractive purposes while he himself remains hidden, allowing his enemy to fixate on the incoming quantity of enemies and thus allow for sneak attacks. Normally, a golem user would only be able to make additional golems per 10 [CON] they possess. However, due to Michai's talent for producing quantity over quality, he is able to ease up on this, instead being allowed to make more dependent on his own rank. As a Junior golem, he can never make more than five additional golems per usage of the spell, however. In addition, though these golems can be used for the purpose of travel, they cannot hold more than one person at a time, and their speed will be lowered to 5m/s for said purpose. It fights using its beak, talons, and other methods of fighting that would be typical of a bird, including picking up prey of up to 200 pounds a few feet off the ground and dropping them. In addition, it is able to send very limited amounts of data to the caster such as when its in combat, if it defeats an enemy, and if itself is defeated via telepathy to the caster.

Waylynn stood back up, of course everyone was already finished fighting the apple creatures, that could only be expected if she could blast them all away with an intermediate large spell. ”I’ll be fine, I’ve only just barely gotten struck, I will let you know if I happen to take a stronger strike.” That was true enough, if she had gotten hit many more times she would be in trouble but as it stood her manaskin would be back in only a few moments. She really did deserve the chastisement about the apples, regardless of what her brother had said there was never a zero chance of something being wrong with food in the dungeon. As a matter of fact it was rather uncomfortable besides the terrible taste it was distracting, and for all she knew Michail had eaten something hallucinogenic to make him say that. All of that was more speculation for the future though. She muttered more to herself ”And I’ll remember the food thing for next time.”
The scenery was changing as they started to walk again, moreover, the grass was getting taller, much like an untamed field they were wading through the waist high grass at a slow incline now. Michail was shouting something at her, there were of course the dungeon monsters in front of them that had started to move so why was he drawing her attention to the right? Ah Golems, Michail had said he was working on something like that didn’t he, she nearly stumbled actually getting on as the ground was quaking from the ‘stampede’ but she managed to get onto the back of the creature and it lifted into the air above the creatures that were charging ”I suppose we keep going then, Thank you for the lift Michail” She prepped the spell in her hand and looked to lydia ”I’ll fire another area shot, you saw the radius before If you’d please I’ll take care of this wave as well.” She put her hand forward and the ball of salt moved just past where the golem was before blasting into the large radius where the stamped of monsters had just started running into, the place they had been just a moment before. She did actually say something but really if Lydia was just going to stand around and get hit by a spell like this in the first place she couldn’t be considered taking this seriously at all.
They didn’t really stand a chance at that point focused on attacking as they were even the other apple rounds that were practically hidden in the tall grass got blasted away, once more clearing the area struck, though the grass waved back into place just a bit more salty than it once was. ”That takes care of them I suppose.” The little salt spirit that was flying around her looked down at the beaten creatures as well. ”Well, it was okay I suppose.” She was pleased with the outcome but holding herself back, she acted like that sometimes but there was little Waylynn could or would do about it, for now her attitude was fine.
