Nillie barely had time to react to the incoming threat, strengthening her defensive barrier ever so slightly in the time that she had available.

“Yeawch! That was my favorite kidney!” She snarled in pain as the guinea pig slammed directly into her abdomen, causing her rift barrier to flicker and cave in against her body in blunt force trauma. Even without the barrier she didn’t expect it to have been capable of lethal damage, but it was a sharp and unexpected pain none the less. She turned her attention from the dog to the now flying guinea pigs, her jaw dropping. Not only were they flying around, but she was pretty sure that there were at least double the amount that there had been just moment ago. Where did these reinforcements come from so suddenly? Out of the woodwork?

“When pigs fly,” she said in disbelief at the absurd sight playing out in front of her while extending back upwards into a standing position, stepping back away from the dog. She increased her barrier some more, now ready for this unexpected combat. She realized her mistake in not finishing them off while she had the chance. Curse them and how adorable they looked! Actually, even knowing their power she still didn’t enjoy the aspect of killing them.

She began to formulate a plan, if they allowed her such time. Her magic was powerful but inefficient for taking on spread out foes of that size and speed. It would take multiple blasts to overkill each individual guinea pig. She did have the energy for at least twelve shots, but this wasn’t ideal. She surveyed them to see if an opportunity presented itself to her.
