Seren
It took all three of them - girl, wolf and dragon - to keep the rampaging tumbleweed at bay. Umbra's breath had set the thing on fire, and thick smoke was drifting over the clearing as wooden limbs reached and flailed, grasping for everything and anything in the vicinity. Seren did more ducking and parrying with her sword than attacking, unwilling to get too close to those flailing arms. Umbra had the advantage of being airborn; he stayed out of reach and kept harrying the living pile of debris with flame whenever he could.
The summoned star-wolf was not so lucky. One of the limbs smacked into it and wound tight arounds its glowing ribcage. With a soundless yelp it was hauled into the midst of the tumbling ball, and disintegrated into glittering stardust when the pressure became too much.
"Hurry, Maeve!" the starchild yelled, as she ducked under a thick branch. "I can't hold it off, we're going to have to run for it!" The thing was too big, and they did not have enough power between them to take it out. Maybe the fire would kill it, in the end, but Seren had no idea how long that might take. Their best bet was to run.
