Much as the Magna Pater refused to believe it so the Princess of Darkness had his number. In his attempt to appear unpredictable the Primeval had some exactly what Satori had predicted he would all along. Namely the Pater attempted to use its raw speed and power to overwhelm Satori by performing an entirely new action in the span it took her to complete a swing of her hammer, conveniently backing out of its own shoddy offense along the way.

And Satori was ready.

She had even been prepared for the Pater to attack her from above. As mentioned before Satori’s wings had been close formation overhead, a curious move, after all she’d already shown an inability to fly with that unceremonious landing of hers from before. In truth the wings (and the half-hands that had gone into their formation) were there for defensive purposes. When the ball of mucus came her way the wings crossed at the tip and dipped forward, providing a blast shield for her face, the thin film between the bony supports giving a few inches before sending the attack bouncing off at an angle and to the right.

Offensive trap failed and defensive maneuver largely predicted on her inability to track his movements the Pater was about to have a bad time.

All things said Satori merely lowered her sweeping swing and brought it crashing into the Pater’s left arm anyways, reducing bones to dust before releasing an explosion of heat and force potent enough to reduce everything surrounding the impact zone to ash and tear whatever limp and useless meat survived from the socket. With his new low position the Pater was more likely to skid and tumble from the blast but that was neither here nor there. It certainly didn’t stop Satori’s turn or the way she traced his tail and fired her spike into it, pinning the beast to the ground and grinding all of its momentum to a stop, all well before he could savage Eubeal.

But that merely covered Satori’s last bout of actions. The Princess of Darkness not only promised to tear through attempts at obfuscation but to present her own relentless offense in its stead.

With the Pater’s offense soundly ground to a halt the Princess of Darkness would leap onto the beasts back. Displaying a supernatural ability to stand on nearly any surface as she balanced on the Pater's slimy upper body and brought her hammer crashing down onto the middle of its back. Another detonation sounded off in time with the impact, several magnitudes beyond her first swing, almost as though every sweep of her arm was shaking the Verdissian Warhammer from a deep slumber. One could only imagine what would happen when it fully awoke.

“I warned you monster, I gave you the chance!” Satori roared past the explosion.
