<Perfect> Vagile thought while struggling to keep herself from smiling. Lying had always been something that was strangely easy for Vagile. If lying was an art, than surely she was a master at it. Over the years it had become easier and easier, and soon it was second nature. Stories just flew out of her mouth without her thinking them over a great deal to check for loopholes.<br/>"Thank you! We must hurry. Quick, follow me." Vagile said before darting off towards the house. It was at that moment he realized an error in her plan. Her back was completely exposed to the mermaid.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Flashback wrote:</cite>"...The key thing in defeating a mermaid is never let her get behind you" Crix says<br/>"I thought that was a given though. I mean, doesn't that rule apply to anyone you face?"<br/>"But most enemies you can still defend against even if they are behind you or at your side. mermaids however can not be fought when they are in any place except in front of you" Crix says<br/>"Why is that? Do they possess some kind of special powers that guarantee them a hit when they're behind the enemy?" Vagile cocked an eyebrow. "Being skilled or lucky is one thing, but to always hit your target if its back is turned to you, is another matter entirely."<br/>"You cant sense when a mermaid is going to attack. if you cant see them you wont know when the attack is coming" Crix says "other attacks you can hear or feel coming. A mermaids you cannot" she says. </div></blockquote><br/><br/><Dang it.> Vagile cursed under her breath. She hoped that this mermaid wasn't suspicious enough of her to attack. Other than that another problem arose on what to do once they finally arrived at the house. A battle would probably ensue no matter what. Unless she could somehow incapacitate the mermaid before she figured out what was going on. Bonking her on the head with a giant object perhaps?
