If Dora thought her realization of what was going on was bad, the trap being sprung seemed worse. She could feel her strength failing, with the poison entering her body, and the only way she might escape that was to climb up the various egg holders and other objects in the room to get up as far as she could. But she risked smashing some of the eggs if she did.<br/><br/>While she knew it was her duty to smash all the eggs to protect Creation, she also knew that these were to be Dancer's children, and she couldn't hurt her friend like that. Instead, she used the last of her remaining strength to send a message out via magic, lest this be forgotten, before she faded away into unconsciousness.
