Welcome to Gaia! ::

The beast glared at her, fury in it's eyes. Gift of Dream knew she'd better have a plan if she wanted to avoid the maiming that was likely in store for her from the mutant rodent.

She thought for a moment, and realized she had a new spell she was wanting to try, she began muttering impossibly fast once more when another user toppled over onto her.

The magic frost that had begun to form in the air exploded! Covering her with icy pieces, she helped the other gaian to his feet, and quickly shook herself off.

She had barely a moment's notice before the creature was in the air and showing it's teeth. The horrible abomination before her seemed somehow transformed, at least twice as horrifying attacking then it was on the ground preparing for it. Gift of Dream readied herself as much as she could before the inevitable blow...

Gift of Dream poured her heart into the next attack. Muttering at speeds twice as fast as before, a spear of ice began to form in the air. As she was muttering, it had occurred to her she forgot an important lesson. Her old master always told her she could overlap magical effects with one another based on the order she muttered...

"sie'et'qu'kev'ne-al'buu-has-oma'ku'puckta" She continued muttering phrases at an impossibly fast speed, after realizing the spear of ice had formed in the air, she began starting on another incantation, while still holding up her spear of ice still floating overhead.

The grunny, who had heretofor seemed stronger then her stopped mid-attack when the spear of ice had formed, and even retreated some when the spear caught fire. The grunny realized this was what she wanted though, and didn't want to give her control of the battle.

The grunny ran at a blinding speed, Gift of Dream could hardly keep her eyes on him. The grunny lunged at her, but was repelled by a shield. The green menace before her was unsure what had happened, and began pacing around her.

The flames from the icy spear arose higher, and higher, until they seemed to be reaching into the heavens themselves. Gift of Dream knew she had succeeded in the first part of the spell, and began muttering yet another incantation.

The flames that had risen impossibly high now seemed to be heading a different direction, almost as if it were crashing down upon the grunny. The grunny knew very well it didn't want to get hit by the incredible tower of flames, and began yet another blindingly fast run, this time in circles around Gift of Dream.

Gift of dream realized the grunny had taken off, and knew the flames wouldn't be able to hit their target, she thought she could create a diversion though, so she continued with it.

the tower of flames crashed down upon the ground, there was a great shaking of the earth, then the gargantuan wall of flames that seemed more like Hell had come down upon the earth then any type of fire conjured by mortals, suddenly as it came, disappeared.

Gift of Dream felt pangs of remorse run through her heart. She had come simply to see what all the fuss was about, and save the holiday she held so dear, and if this meant putting a few mindless beasts who were being abused to the rest they deserved since the day they had been mutated, then so be it. She had learned instead the creatures weren't all that bad, and regardless of how twisted G-Corp had made them, the cute little shy creature they had once been was still there.

The creature's fury had returned fully, the previous attack and the poor animal's eye didn't seem to bother it anymore, and it made the macabre horror that so fully frightened Gift of Dream that much worse. She knew that deep down there was still an ounce of good to a creature that seemed to reek of evil.

The beast didn't charge this time, nor did it jump and tackle her, instead it had a different idea in mind it seemed. The grunny smiled and began what seemed like a hacking bark.

Suddenly, without warning, 5 more grunnies seemed to surround the one she had been fighting and began eating the creature. No, not eating, Gift of Dream could hear sounds of retching, they were vomiting on it. The grunny stood once more, it's eye was back in it's socket. The 5 grunnies seemed to scatter once more through the battlefield.

Gift of Dream thought the creature had been healed, when she saw it began walking at the same pace. Was it deliberating, just waiting for the right moment to attack? Gift of Dream began muttering a new incantation, one which would make her eyes ten times more sensitive and looked at her opponent. The creature's leg was damaged heavily, it must have been broken after it was knocked down by the spear. Strange, she thought, she could see the leg was broken, yet it didn't hobble or refuse to walk on it's broken leg, it seemed unfazed by it. She shuddered, it only gave her one more reason to fear the abomination before her.

The grunny began shaking horribly. Gift of Dream saw this as another opportunity to attack, and muttered once more, low and fast. This time water seemed to forming in the air, not ice, and form a wave, which was now being launched right at the grunny! The wave seemingly made contact, however, once she could see the grunny again, saw it was dry.

Gift of Dream muttered once more, and the grunny seemed to catch fire! The creature wasn't scorched however. Gift of Dream muttered again, and suddenly her eyesight was ten times more sensitive. The flames weren't making contact with the fur, they were stopping just short. The grunny was using a magic shield.
