After three hours of navigating through the dense forest, she found herself standing at the edge of a tranquil river. Taking a moment to scan her surroundings, she keenly observed, searching for any signs of lurking monsters.

Relieved by her findings, she proceeded to make her way across the river. The water stretched out before her, revealing its considerable width. In regular circumstances, one could likely traverse it in less than 10 minutes.

Notably, there were several large rocks jutting out from the water's surface, resembling natural stepping stones. With a sense of determination and a hint of excitement, she began to use these rocks as her impromptu bridge, carefully stepping and occasionally leaping from one to another with a spirited and carefree demeanor.

As she found herself in the middle of the river, a sudden and unexpected sight greeted her, a multitude of enormous frogs, ranging in size from 127 to 137 centimeters. A mid legendary stag. 

These colossal amphibians had a striking, almost surreal appearance, with bodies that blended shades of violet and blue and eyes that glowed with an eerie red hue.

Shantal lacks in fighting and experience will put in dire situation.

Shantal's initial shock was palpable, but she quickly gathered her composure and cautiously attempted to establish a connection with these extraordinary creatures king Revenge with Determination.

"Hello, Froggie," she stammered, her voice a mix of trepidation and curiosity. "I'm Shantal, and, um, it's... nice to meet you." A moment of silence hung in the air as she awaited a response, her heart racing. Then, with a nervous laugh, she continued, "Ahahaha, so, there's something I'd like to ask, if that's alright with all of you. What do you think?"

For the first time in her life, Shantal was overcome by a profound sense of fear as one of the frogs opened its immense mouth. Her nerves made it difficult to think clearly, and she couldn't help but feel a profound unease in that tense moment.

As the enormous frog suddenly launched its elongated tongue in her direction, Fionna's realization of the dire situation hit her like a bolt of lightning. With remarkable agility and quick thinking, she managed to evade the incoming appendage, leaping into the water and swimming towards another nearby rock. Climbing onto the safety of the rock's surface, her heart pounding, she was determined to continue her journey to the other side of the river.

In her mind, a resolute decision had formed – she must confront and defeat these monstrous creatures, or else her perilous adventure would surely end in tragedy. Shantal's determination to fight them at all costs was unwavering, and she delved into her imagination, contemplating the magical abilities she could employ to overcome these formidable foes.

As she surveyed her surroundings, Shantal recognized the aquatic nature of her predicament and began to explore the depths of her newfound powers. It struck her that her connection with the water was unusually strong.

Focusing her energy, she reached out to the water and whispere. To her astonishment, the water started to ripple and tremble, a sign that it had responded to her call. Shantal couldn't help but smile as she felt the water's essence intermingling with her own.

But her triumph was short-lived as the frogs, now agitated by the changing tides, launched an aggressive assault. They leaped toward her with ferocity, prompting Shantal to summon the water into a massive wave, a colossal tsunami that surged forth, engulfing the frogs 

in its relentless current. She couldn't help but laugh triumphantly as the frogs were washed away, their frustration evident.
