Right. Puzzles were one thing, the kind of thing Maea had been hoping for, but the room beyond the unlocked door was more along the lines of what she had been dreading. Combat was... not her specialty. In fact, the closest thing she had ever come was probably a scuffle with Evie or Amalia over some toy, or perhaps a wrestling match with her brother where be har gone easy on her. No amount of trapping or sheep slaughter could ever prepare her for a situation like this, and the single lesson Jigano had given her in fencing was so woefully inadequate that she might be better off without it.
The room was marvelous. A miracle of verdant growth unlike anything she had seen, alien in its otherworldly beauty. Maea wished to explore it, sturdy the plants and find the source of the water that spilled over the floor, to the delight of moss and lichen. But there was no time. A monster stood in their path, and its mere presence made her tremble in terror, dreading to even get close.
Still, as Roana and Lucas charged ahead Maea followed, slower and more cautious of the treacherous footing but with every intention of pulling her own weight through this. When they circled around the creature - enormous, monstrous, beautiful! - to attack the leg, she chose to duck down and head around to the opposite side while she dug for the nails she had brought. Holding four of them at the ready, when she got close enough Maea picked up the one remaining nail with her telekinesis and sent it flying, aiming for the brilliant blue of the creatures eye.
It pained her to do it, but she could doubt herself and mourn for the sacrifice later; the had already chosen a path and could only follow it now. To whatever end.
