The banshee answers Sunjata ’s taunts with fury rather than fear. His second riptide detonates through the clearing with brutal force, the water slamming into her mid-glide and tearing through her incorporeal form in a concussive burst. This time she shrieks as she’s driven backward, her hovering destabilized again as the wave shreds her momentum and forces her several body-lengths away. The forest floor is left slick and churning beneath her path, roots slick with displaced water as the Cataract roars louder in response.
Melita ’s arrow strikes moments later. The ice buries itself deep, frost blooming violently across the banshee’s torso and down one elongated arm, the chill crawling like living veins through ragged cloth and skeletal frame. The creature’s movement stutters—slowed, disrupted—her scream hitching into something strangled and furious as the cold bites hard. Still, she does not fall.
Next, Jack ’s magic finally finds its mark. The rain of icy splinters crashes down around her, several shards cutting cleanly through her form, tearing away strips of spectral fabric and leaving fractures of frost and damage trailing in their wake.
And yet, she remains airborne. Damaged. Slowed. Enraged beyond reason, her attention never leaves Sunjata. With a guttural sound that might once have been grief, she surges forward again, relentless and singular in her focus. She glides low and fast this time, skeletal hands lashing out with bone-cold intent, fingers stretching impossibly long as they snap for his throat and shoulders.
Too slow. Sunjata slips away from the grasp with speed she cannot match, the banshee’s arms closing on nothing but displaced air once more as she overshoots him again. She drifts past, snarling, twisting sharply midair to reorient herself, her posture collapsing inward as though dragged forward by instinct alone.
She does not retreat nor does she hesitate. Despite the damage raked across her form, despite the obvious disadvantage, the banshee turns back toward him again, hovering low and close now, screams breaking into ragged gasps between attacks. She will keep coming; she does not know how to do anything else.
