Cosmos was about to reply to what Shang-qing had said, a sad look in her otherwise beautiful face, but she felt something coming towards her own home and disappeared after a hasty farewell.  That should have been a warning to the god of balance, but things progressed as they would.  Giselle however hadn't missed the look of concern and got up from her spot, not sure what to expect as night fell.  Night was the time of the Drow, but it was also her own time when the half light elf/dark elf warrior was at her strongest as well.  She dusted herself off, pulled out her water bottle, took a quick drink before refilling it at the lake before her, and wandered off in the general direction as Isabel, sensing something foul in the air.  Something had already come here.  She didn't get to join the woman however as something stopped her as well.  She didn't know what they were called, but six armored looking snake like creatures appeared on all sides, surrounding Giselle as they dug their way out of the ground on either side of the path.  She looked to each of them with just a simple shift of her eyes and a little turn of her head, sensing the two behind her rather than seeing them, and nodded to herself as her hands reached down to the blades at her slender waist.  "Well, what are you waiting on?!"  She hissed, her voice hopefully loud enough to be heard by Zame as well unless he had gotten into trouble himself by now.  Xemnas she didn't really care for personally so he was on his own, but the others she'd help without a thought.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.ffcompendium.com/EspMon/basilisk12.jpg)</div></div><br/>The basilisks hissed and slithered about around her, until the apparent leader of the group which was on her right side struck, fast as any snake she had ever seen.  It wasn't fast enough as Giselle side stepped the fang filled mouth, Twinkle popping out of its sheath in an eye blink, and thus taking its head in the same moment before moving on to the rest of them as the leader's neck was severed from the rest of the body.  The old saying proved true even here as the snake died, laid out straight at Giselle's feet as the half Drow charged down a second, both blades crossing and slicing through muscle and sinew without pause as a second of the basilisks fell to her prowess and skill.  The other four were hesitant to continue, finding an enemy that was too strong for them, but their animal instincts drove them to continue, a mistake they wouldn't last long enough to reconsider later.
