Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Are you death or paradise?
Thal had certainly asked for it, but she wouldn't easily admit to the instant regret she felt. After rolling away from Maea's strike at her knees, she had watched, crouching as she waited to see if the Ancient would finally do what she asked. When Maea lifted her dagger to her pale hand, Thal silently braced for the magic.
It hit her hard. In the span of a second, she felt like she'd been sick in bed for weeks, drained and aching. She grit her teeth against the sensation, ignoring the stab of pain that accompanied it. Her fist hit the ground to give her body something else to focus on. Because, as uncomfortable as it was, this was still something she could fight through, and she gave Maea a reassuring smile that said as much. "Good."
Slowed by the weakness, Thal decided a ranged attack would be better. Without a moment of hesitation, she released her dagger, letting it fly towards Maea as she followed to attack at a closer range.

Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
There's just no time to die
