Rose had forced herself free from the stone vice only to find that the path ahead had disappeared. She beat on it with great arcs of thunder that erupted from her palm, shook the cave with earthquakes, all to no avail. The path was blocked. She turned back and returned to the surface, intent on surviving. She would not let the broken God escape- she would not die here. She would bring down the mountain on her if she had. 

And she floated up and up, hovering above the mountain, above the Stone, carried by Lha'tak's winds. And then the world around Rose turned to chaos. She unleashed the power the god had given her, all of it, the profound power of the god that held dominion over natural disasters. Lightning rained down in volleys, the ground shook and cracked and split, wind gusted, bending the trees, threatening the roots that had been dug into the ground over the course of hundreds of years. Rose was angry, and sad, and scared, surrounded by an apocalypse of her own making in a seemingly dead slice of the world surrounded by the terrifying power of gods that were bent on making the survivors of the Stone into their playthings.

Ironically enough there was a time when Rose would have welcomed the power of Lha'tak regardless of the price. But now she knew that the cost was not worth the return- the loss of her freedom, bound to the will of the god with none of her own. And then the cataclysm stopped all at once. It was to no avail, that much was clear. She would not be free of Lha'tak like this. She would not destroy Nor this way, not that she had wanted to in the first place. She needed a new plan.

The new plan was defiance. She would not kill Nor. Many years ago Rose would've been more than willing to, but now? She refused. Lha'tak would know, she knew; there was no way she could hide the information from, at least by her estimation as he was seemingly inside her mind.   So she would run, hide, she had taken a turn at being the God's emissary and decided she was done. She let herself fall to the ground, and ran for the protection of the Stone- she was sure Lha'tak wouldn't be far behind.
