My eyes like a dream in, I am in the panther but I knew my body was still with the others as I watched what was going on.

she smirks knowing it was almost time.

The moon has reached its place. Perfect.

Sibnele's form flickers as the elevation is reached, and it wheezes again. "Oh, this is no fun. . ."

Parts of it seem more solid than before. Maybe the soul's effects are wearing off, allowing him to control himself again.

she powered up a large blast and shot it down most of the tree softening the blow.

Sibnele, alerted at the charge, vanishes and reappears a good five feet away. Its gruesome smile returns. "Works for me." The tall, thick tendrils of shadow return, and whip at Luca furiously.

she blocks it with a shield, fighting would be worthless at this point. all she need to do was run.

The shadows beat relentlessly at the shield. Sibnele just stands there and smiles.

the shield breaks and she runs for dear life.

The panther or me makes a low growling noise eyes narrowed the smoke leaked off and down the tree, my eyes twitched as my body stiffened and unstiffened.

"Oh, come now, mortal!" Sibnele cackles. "I just want to play a simple game!"

It dashes after Luca, easily gaining. Shadows are whipping at Luca's ankles.

"I'd be careful running if I were you!" it screeches. "Or you might just be so unfortunate as to get a concussion!"

A concussion. . .hmm. Can he still get concussions?
