MABEL
Daggers wouldn’t matter here – not when other things were at play.
Mabel’s newfound tech wouldn’t have saved her, even as she nimbly pivoted and moved, even as she twisted and turned, even as she maneuvered with all the grace of some eldritch witch. It could only see above, and not below; where shadows rippled and coiled.
And grabbed, ripping her completely from her stance, tossing her downward into the ground. It was a raucous thump, even as she braced with arms outward and teeth grinding in her jaw. It was a blessing in that moment that she couldn’t feel pain, but it could’ve been an immeasurable, bewildering sensation.
Instead of rising, she opted for a vantage point, swiping her weapon towards the Wraith’s feet, unaware of what had tangled around her.

I bare my teeth
