"Leave this to me. I'll take care of it," Litha said as she came forward with the orb still spinning above her head. "I've been on the defensive for too long, time to send some attacks."
Jael and the others gave her space; if she failed to put it down, then it would be easy for them to jump in and do the rest.
The monster's eyes were fixed on her, mouth pulled back in a nasty growl. It began to move forward slowly, and its fur changed; the black fur turned glistening and hard like metal.
Litha also began to walk forward, strides easy as mana boiled above her. "Here, here kitty!"
The Korvath snared and tensed when they got within striking distance from each other, but just as the monster pounced and Litha gestured, something slammed into her from behind, and the mana she had gathered fizzled and disappeared.
