Ella may have been the first to start to back away, but it didn't matter. The water bound serpent had become enraged due to the branch that had fallen on its head. The water fairy had run off giggling at its joke in its own boredom.
Part of Clark was annoyed that he let Crim go off, but he was also too focused to really worry about it. His spear appeared in his hands from the spatial ring. "Move back!" Clark took the front to distract the angry water bound serpent. He knew that someone had to draw its attention.
"Clark I-"
"Get out of here. I will handle it once you are all away." Clark's eyes told Maria all she needed to know. He couldn't have Devi show himself with the other two there.
"Ella, come on!" Maria grabbed Ella who had stumbled slightly trying to get back first. She was up and moving in an instant with Isa starting to move away but hesitating. Her ice maiden hadn't moved from its spot floating next to the pool.
"Isa, leave."
