Zarathel was almost disappointed. She shrugged and resumed her own form. Somewhere in the garden, was a man. She needed to thoroughly corrupt him, too.<br/><br/>She released the branches that she had in her control, allowing eve to be dumped unceremoniously to the ground. The vegetation returned to it's natural state... except that now, those branches, as well as bearing pretty white flowers and sweet, dark-purple berries, were covered in sharp, vicious thorns. She slipped outside the time-line for a moment and watched as the plants spread, causing havoc and pain, never being truly exterminated from any piece of ground where they took root, despite the best efforts of these pathetic creatures the Nameless One had created.<br/><br/>Zarathel laughed in glee, picking some of the blackberries from the bramble bush she had warped into existence. As she searched for Adam, she munched on another apple and spent some time re-modelling some of the stupid beasts. So the small, fast insect that was intended to suck nectar from flowers, she made to suck blood. The creatures that were to build delicate webs to catch the dew that they would drink to live, she warped so that they caught insects in sticky webs, and would paralyse those insects with a poisonous bite, then either eat them alive or lay their eggs on them.<br/><br/>At last she saw Adam, playing with one of the higher animals the Nameless One had made. She laughed softly and caused it to grow sharp claws from it's paw. It hissed at the man suddenly and scratched him, then leapt up into a tree.<br/><br/>Zarathel assumed the shape of Eve and strode into the clearing where the naked man sat, scowling up at the cat.
