Staring on, Zaldana was still gliding and hovering over where the giant snake was posted. Watching the stare down of the robed mage and the snake, Zaldana was ready to join the fray but what happened next, surprised her. In a swift move, The snake grabbed a tree and pulled it from out the ground throwing it towards Zaldana and Ruby, which, barely moved, getting grazed and Zaldana getting thrown off. Squawking and flailing about in it's flapping, Ruby noticed that she dropped Zaldana, trying to rush down to get her. Zaldana dropped her spear but still had her shield on her arm falling towards the ground, shifting her body into the position of falling on her shield but noticed the fall was cushioned by the pile of leaves on the ground. "Hm? what the-" she said looking around as Ruby landed next to her. Zaldana looked around and wanted to see what was happening with the Robed one and the snake. "Ruby...I don't know if this is luck but seems something is looking out for us."
