Finally, as the red and blue beams neared the tree, the four girls simultaneously moved their wands, Ruby and Irene moving to the right while Lily and Alya moved to the left.
Sychrnozing with their owner's wand movements, the four spells all strayed from their paths, combining with the spells next to each other.
First, the light blue and light red beams combined create a light purple color that could be mistaken for maroon.
Next, the dark-blue and dark-red beams mixed together, forming a purple color, that was dangerously close to being black.
The light-purple beam took the top, while the dark-purple beam flew right below it, making sure not to combine.
Then, a millisecond before the beams hit the tree, they once again combined, but before the colors could even fully mix, the beam struck the tree.
My arrows, which had hit the tree long ago, were also struck by the beam, causing them to push further into the tree trunks.
