Isalisk had been following readily after Aluren for a while, her eyes continuing to scan everything about her as her braid bounced along her back. She had taken note of the slow change of the world around her, thinking of how this could have been her just as she had done before while she gazed at the tumor-like growths of the trees. They were strange and sickly to look at, almost pitiful as they became more and more common.<br/><br/>As Aluren squeezed on through, the Dragoness was ready to follow after him before she was met with a peculiar line of an obstacle ahead of her. "What..." She muttered, readying her blade as her brows furrowed in confusion. As the tree began to pull itself apart and form humanoid shapes, the eyes coming clear into view and the strange sound being heard from within, her face contorted into that of fear and alarm, though her stance was still focused and readied for any attack despite her boiling emotions. Her blade was brought to her side as the forms started to crawl of of the tree, Isalisk now scowling as her slitted eyes narrowed in a defensive, primal threat to the monsters.<br/><br/>"Should you have any mind, I suggest you flee, beasts." She said out to them, a warning as even with two beings that seemed as hostile as they were, everything in this realm deserved a hot chance to correct their mistakes against her. Her feet slid into a combat position, one ahead of the other as her knees buckled down and she took a careful breath in, her eyes wandering for a moment to Aluren in the back before they clicked back onto the wooden figures rising out and for her. Her leather twisted with her readying movements, bending slightly as her grip tightened along the wrapped handle of her blade.<br/><br/>She kept her ears trained in case more around her decided to form out of the trees, not allowing herself to be totally taken off guard should whatever cursed magics around her decide to form a full squad against her. She didn't even notice that she was letting out a sharp and angry hiss, the sound vibrating in her throat as her heels dug into the dirt harshly.
