The illusions he had cast were too obvious, the group was seeing right through them and as such, her hold over them was weakened. She neeeded a trick they wouldn't be able to tell apart from reality.<br/><br/>"Your friends are strong." She said to the real Crystal. "Strong enough to do my job for me. I am Xernea. And I will be the death of you and your homeland. It's just such a shame I couldn't take you alive." As she finished speaking, the landscape began to distort again and in a matter of second the entire group was back in the clearing. They had all moved apart while trapped in their illusions but they were still close enough to see the two white dragonesses. Except one was lying on the ground covered in cuts and bruises, her eyes tightly closed and her hands shielding her face. The seemingly injured dragoness was Xernea but it would be impossible for the group to tell without close scrutiny.<br/><br/>"Help me!" She screamed, pointing at the other dragoness. "Don't be fooled by her trickery! She's the one hunting me!" Xernea screamed again, her voice an exact replica of the real Crystal's.<br/><br/>When she was sure no one except the real Crystal was looking at her, she opened one bright green eye and winked at the confused dragoness, closing it again quickly so no one else would see the single flaw in her new form.
