Another strong gust of wind blew us away and I managed to change my direction mid-air, landing on my feet. To my left and my right, both women seem to be doing ok for themselves as well.
"Miss! Are you ok?" Aurora wrapped her and the boy in a bubble to protect them.
"Just call me Meraki, Aurora."
"But, that's really hard to do."
"If you don't start now, you never will."
"Bu-"
"Can we focus here?! That thing is coming!" Rose shouted, pointing to the centipede-like creature rushing at us.
"Damn is it ugly."
"Kefi."
"Look out!" Rose created a portal in front of me just as the creature was about to pounce on me. It fell from the sky a second later, smashing into an inky puddle once it reached the ground.
"Gross."
"Look, please pay attention. Creatures like this aren't easy to beat."
As if on cue, the ground rumbled again as the creature put itself back together again
"Aurora!" Rose shouted, running to the creature.
"Miss! Take Leo and go hide. We'll handle this."
