Squaring off, Melisandre and Hollis stared each other down as they waited for the other to make the first move.
Both of them understood that they were fighting an opponent they could not take lightly and needed to be as alert and cautious as possible.
In the end though, Hollis broke their stalemate. Realizing she needed to finish this battle fast.
It was clear that all the owls that had showed up here were part of an organization, and if any more fighters as strong or even stronger than Melisandre showed up, she knew that she would be unable to win.
To start things off the empress dryad unleashed and attack far more viscous than any she had thrown at Evelyn or Bylur.
Now that she was no longer maintaining such a large-scale barrier, she was able to use more magical energy, and knew that only her best was going to be able to defeat Melisandre.
