Elsewhere, a single figure walks through the elegant halls of the witch's territory, leaving nothing but echos behind as she travels.  Every once in a while, she stops to take  a few quick sniffs of the air, but it seems that for the most part, nothing catches her attention.<em>It's felt like hours since I got caught up in this place...</em>she thinks to herself, finally taking a seat on the bare floor beneath her, shivering slightly at the chilly feel before relaxing.  A tiny sigh escaped her lips as she finally spoke out loud, her voice echoing her own confusion at the bare halls.<br/><br/>"A-are they always like this...? I thought...thought that most witches had minions all over the place..." Another careful look around her surroundings simply reveals more walls, more walls, and various decorations.  It was true that she was relatively new to this magical girl business, but something felt terribly wrong about this situation.  Perhaps she wasn't alone?<br/><br/>Of course, a sound comparable to a massive...<em>something</em>bursting out of the earth interrupted her train of thought, and Lily shot up from her sitting position, the small ponytail on the side of her hair whipping slightly to the right.  Something had just woken up? Surely this meant she wasn't alone, and someone needed help!  She takes a moment to stretch her legs before running off in the direction of the noise(s), putting her ear to a single wooden door once she'd reached what she believed to be the source.  Listening carefully, she heard what sounded like chanting...A magic spell? She opened the door carefully, and was astounded to find a massive garden, along with what appeared to be a bare woman, or at least the upper torso of one melded with a large flower beneath.  This couldn't be a good thing! Taking a deep breath, she closes her eyes, her body heat rising rapidly.  Taking action, the majority of the heat around her body shifts to her wrists and hands, and with a battle yell, she flings what appears to be a fist-sized ball of white-hot fire at the Alraune, heating up the very air as it flies towards her. Once it hits its mark, it dissipates with a large impact, spreading some of the remaining heat around and behind the target, to the point where the other magical girls could more than likely feel it.  With her target in sight, she adopts a stance, slamming both of her feet into the soil, unmoving as a mountain as she prepares for any counter-attack the Alraune might offer.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls/Crunch</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ranged Touch Attack for Fan the Flames; Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=66974)<br/>Fire Damage from Fan the Flames; Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=66975)<br/>Swift Action to change stances to Stonefoot Stance (+2 AC bonus against large or larger enemies)</div></div>
