Rowan emerged into a clearing where Willow and Elise were entwined in a harrowing confrontation. Willow knelt, blood streaming from her mouth, while Elise, armed with bladed appendages, menacingly declared, "Without those arms, you won't be able to defend yourself. I should probably cut them off." A cry of agony escaped Willow as Elise ruthlessly severed one of her arms, the limp appendage hanging in front of her, blood oozing from the grievous wound, accompanied by Willan's piercing scream.
Rowan, stunned by the gruesome scene unfolding before him, witnessed Elise preparing to sever Willow's second arm. Reacting swiftly, he drew his flintlock musket, aimed with precision, and fired a bullet through Elise's skull. Elise's head tilted to the side, blood oozing from the fatal wound, and her eyes closed, signaling the abrupt end of the menacing threat.
