--- Kat ---
Things were going well. There were no problems so far. The wheels worked well enough even on uneven terrain due to their own uneven placement. Lily could push the contraption without using much mana, and Kat could keep it moving without worry. The lightning continued to disperse for reasons neither of them understood but overall it was simply nice to have the plan working, even better than intended too.
This would soon change, though not through any fault of engineering. It was the dirt beneath their feet that shifted, and even as Kat prepared, things sprang into motion. From below a giant stinger ripped through the air. Each nob filled with lightning, like a plasma globe but far more deadly. The stinger tried to come down onto Appoline, who was standing slightly to the side so as not to be caught up in the wheels.
