Lillian watched as it flew through the air at a speed capable of reaching the mage party before they were crushed. Then, she watched as the hole in the lasso expanded outwards to a size that was enough to fit the three-person group.
And as swiftly as it came, the lasso pulled them out of the way. Its speed even left Lillian stunned as she had only realised that her decision had already been answered for her.
Her vision of the slow world returned to normal as she morphed her body back to water.

After dodging the falling rubble, Lillian reappeared again and quickly leapt back again—her black cloak fluttering around her. Lillian coughed, accidentally breathing in the dust.
Once she landed, Lillian had intended to buy a potion before feeling something get into her eyes. She cursed out loud and rubbed her eyes.
