"Very, it's likely she could've been surprised, but she's definitely alive." Shielding herself in a heat barrier. "Her ability is pretty unique."
"Could she be corrupted like the others?" Retracting his wings. "How strong is she?"

"Very, it's likely she could've been surprised, but she's definitely alive." Shielding herself in a heat barrier. "Her ability is pretty unique."
"Could she be corrupted like the others?" Retracting his wings. "How strong is she?"
Continuing on. "There's an ally here; she must be hurt."
Stopping and descending. "What's wrong here?"
Mana has never had to sense intent. Her reaction speed has guided her throughout a countless number of ambushes.
Clueless. When the giant purple dragon emerges from the treeline, she braces rather than attacking.
His eyes glow for a moment, aiming upwards. Ezra doesn’t say anything, assuming she feels what he's feeling.
Mana swipes a few ballista bolts out of the air, looking up at a floating platform. She signals to it, then continues forward.
Following along. Clueless.
She flies back down after seeing him clear a couple areas. "This way." Going to the Low Road
He switches up his strategy, hitting them with formless spheres that carry them into the air and disintegrate them. Ezra switches on his mental link, but it doesn't reach outside of Avalon.
She smiles, her tail wagging. "I thought you could handle it, I'm sorry."
"...never moved that fast unprotected before..." Ezra recomposes, though. "That's cool, though."
"Yes." Holding him by his head and dashing to Avalon.
"Sounds fine with me." Looking away. "Are you fast at all?"
"She did." Mana nods, rubbing her chin. "You're pretty strong, so if you want to go together, we can."
"Weird. Did the fish lady talk to you, too?" Ezra folds his arms, looking her up and down. "I was on my way there, as well."
"I bought it." She puts it over her shoulder. "I'm on my way to a place called Avalon, they kinda need help."
He laughs, shaking his head around. "That's cool... I've never had that happen before." Ezra rolls his shoulders, standing up. "What're you doing? Why do you have a big noodle?"
Passed out in a bath bucket, naked and holding her giant macaroni.
"Not sure, I just felt you." She wipes some of the dirt off of her dress and smiles. "What's up? I'm Mana!" The manticore whips out a thumbs up, spraying him with blood.
He's frozen stiff for a moment, but catches himself on instinct. "...hhhh..." Ezra makes several eyes that observe the tall woman, unblinking. "How'd you... do that?"
Catching Ezra as he goes by. "Oh." Dropping him and shaking her head. "Sorry, I just didn't know what you were."
He pop vanishes and starts traveling. Sifting through space and thinking to himself.
Getting her payment from a mission, then bashing the guy's head off with her tail. Taking the money from his desk.
Riding a chronovore out through space. She's got her blades in its head, steering it that way.
