"..." Esther Marionette slams the Qyraen against the ground as I land to draw the Qyraen's attention, since it only focuses on me. Knocked to the ground, she drags herself, clawing at the floor as she rises, trying to run desperately toward me. Her body grows slightly larger.
But not because she's grown — it's because her muscles have expanded so aggressively that her ribs puncture through her chest, and the eye on her chest has its pupil staring upward, trembling with pain.
"EVELYN!!" Unlike the desperation she exudes, her body tries to reach me. I throw a spear to Esther Marionette, who slices off one of the Qyraen's legs. The Qyraen punches Esther as her leg grows back.
But it grows back deformed, with parts of the bone protruding and bizarre, spiny distortions. I leap up onto the threads, dodging her while Esther Marionette pierces her back with the spear. I throw another spear to her, and it impales the Qyraen's thigh, slowly crippling her.
