Disgrace
The scene in the room was akin to a nightmare. A massive creature made entirely of vines, with its body covered in cool blue flames, had Nero's entire body wrapped in its vines so that only his face was barely visible. With its other hand it had tried to grab Isa, but missed due to the awkward angle and the increasing stiffness of its rapidly cooling vines.
As a result, its hand had shot through the wall, finally breaking the window open, not that it mattered at this point.
There was no possibility of escape from the creature, for it far outpowered the two. Nero's assessment had been correct. It would take at least an Arcanist to fight it off.
But just as all hope was lost, and Isa's mind once more nearly shut down from fear, a new power appeared. In one go, it encompassed the building and overpowered everything else.
