"Big brother's going all out already, huh?!" she chirped, twirling on her toes as if this were a game.
The fire beast bellowed, spitting a stream of molten flame toward her.
With a sweep of her hand, the ground beneath her split, and colossal roots surged upward. .
They slammed into the fire beast's neck, twisting violently until it staggered back with a pained roar.
But before she could breathe, the ice beast slammed a claw into the roots, freezing them solid in an instant.
She hopped lightly to avoid the creeping ice, her laughter ringing out.
"That tickles!"
The water beast took the opening, its massive arm morphing into a tidal wave that crashed toward her.
Ashmae clapped her hands together.
The flower petals that had been drifting lazily around her suddenly sharpened into crystalline blades.
They whirled in a storm, slicing through the wave, splitting it into harmless sprays.
