Where'd she go?"<br/><br/>Nuria had been ready for an attack, for an onslaught of invasive tentacles, but she hadn't expected their adorable giant of a girl to suddenly disappear! The world looked awfully strange, too. Oddly tinted in cerulean, the sea flowing into the sky -- was this the spirit realm? It wasn't the ever-burning pit of flame in her dreams, but there were many different places there. Perhaps this was one of them. If so, her friends were in terrible danger -- mortals were ever at the whim of the alien laws of the spirits there, with little to protect them.<br/><br/>As a demon, their barbarian should have better grounds, but where was she? Her amber eyes darted around wildly, trying to filter the non-euclidean geometry of the place out in favor of a Phelysis-shaped female. In the meantime she cast an arm out to her side to keep the others back, or at least behind her. It took a while until she had located the stone statues, but once she did, she quickly pointed them out for everyone to see.<br/><br/>"She got herself turned into a damn statue!" The fire-woman cursed, abandoning her protective stance to quickly rush over, right past the gem in which the diminutive barbarian was currently captured and to the stone image that held her shape.<br/><br/>"Fire ain't much good against stone," she admitted begrudgingly, "and I doubt smashing it will release her."<br/><br/>She frowned and looked around. She saw the gem this time, but didn't notice the small image within yet. Instead her attention was captured by the other statues that surrounded the evil thing. "Can't hurt to try, though!" she declared and jumped to give the smallest of them a good, solid kick.<br/>
