Snapdragon closes her eyes and concentrates, focusing on her ties to nature, and somehow the summoned creature is devoid of evil influence. With a rumble in the clouds, a creature known as an Arrowhawk, as large as either of the girls, appears, swiftly moving through the sky, eyes fixed upon the coalescing swarm. It glares as it sweeps forwards, and lightning crackles from its beak, going right through them.<br/><br/>None of the creatures drop from the sky, however, and instead they turn, as one enormous entity, their buzzing terrible but at least droning out the wailing for a short while, as they hit the arrowhawk in a wave, covering its body in painful stings. Fortunately, the creature is not real, a mere conjuration, so will not truly remember the pain as having happened, and it does manage to survive.<br/><br/>"Are you all right? You weakened for a moment. You didn't get stung, did you?"<br/><br/>She clings tighter, possibly through fear, or possibly for warmth. Within a few more seconds, the arrowhawk no longer exists, slain by the swarm, but fortunately, it provided just enough time for the pair to escape. The area starts to look even more dangerous as they get closer, the ground covered in thorny vines, though that poses no problem to the two girls, flying above it, but still no more threats seem to appear to directly attack them both. Eventually, it is in sight. The enormous dark tree, twisted and evil looking, its branches spiraling into the sky. A handful of corpses surround it, their bodies crushed, and already small spores of fungus seem to be growing from them.
