The sound of Zariah laughing made Edy scowl. Not because she necessarily disagreed with Zariah's assessment, but because of all the potential times Edy might have learned that the mace actually just made fucking butterflies appear, why did it have to be now?
"A good party trick. I bet Bea would like it." Edy said with a shrug, throwing the mace towards the nearest tree, where a ring of fire suddenly appeared. "What in the actual—" Edy murmured with a surprised whisper, eyeing the flames warily.
Breathing heavily now as Zariah continued to sap at her strength, Edy swallowed down her rising weariness and tried to think. How was she supposed to get the necklace off of Zariah? At this rate, Z's lifedrain would probably sap her strength entirely, leaving them both magically empty. But then Edy would have the disadvantage at hand-to-hand combat.
Fuck.
Well. She had once chance to try and turn the tables.
"Hope it isn't too hot in there—" Edy called loudly, before dashing to stand behind Zariah. She held her breath to keep herself from panting too hard, and hoped the sizzle of the flames would drown out any other sound that Z might hear. With fingers outstretched, and with a mental pulse towards the branch above, Edy made her play.
As soon as the ring of fire dropped, Bobi leaped from the tree aiming to land before Zariah. Spitting and hissing and yowling loudly, Bobi tried to capture the Head's attention, while Edy's dexterous fingers darted forward to try and grab the chain from the back of Z's neck and lift it off.
