Acolyte Sophia
My heart hammered in terror as I pressed my back against the tree. Angela danced about the clearing, her sword flashing like bolts of lightning, reflecting the dim light. She swung in mighty sweeps, cleaving the monstrous spiders while her kite shield fended off those that tried to attack her from the other side.
Xera regained her feet, cobwebs still clinging about her ankles. She reclaimed her bow and fired an arrow at a giganraneae in the treetops. The thing fell with a chittering scream.
"Yes." I screamed in relief, my sweaty hands gripping my glowing dagger. "That's it."
I wish I could help better. There hadn't been time for me to enchant Angela's sword, but she seemed to be doing fine. Her longsword smashed and cut through the carapace of the nasty things.
"On your left!" Xera shouted. An arrow flew across the battlefield.
"Thank you, Saphique," I prayed as Angela and Xera drove back the monsters.
"Aren't you pretty, poppin?" a voice skittered above me.
