Draiss sneered at the basic spell, and shifted from teleporting to using a beyonders' hyper movement technique, drawing from V'elen and duplicating what he had seen the materialized beyonder to leave the battlefield before the other gods had forced it back. "Such a basic spell. Too bad it doesn't work on our techniques. Can your host do our movements here? It can be somewhat difficult."<br/><br/>He popped out of the folded space right behind the 'past' Verdelet, but while he wanted nothing more than to blast her, he had regained his temper and realized he couldn't actually attack her without severely fucking up the time line. Not that he wouldn't hesitate for a second if it looked like 'future' Verdelet was going to strike him. However, he could sense the avatar close by, and killing it would force her to improvise, something neither her nor her beyonder seemed as capable as he was. He grinned, a few milliseconds after arriving, and set up his own anticipate teleport spell, which would slow her down by six seconds as well, as he realized another difference between the two of them, she was a chessmaster against his indy ployer. He was not visible to mortals, hidden in the fraction of a second when one blinked, even when they weren't blinking, as he moved toward the hidden avatar.
