[center][h2]Suwako Makiyoshi[/h2][/center] [hr] Her plan was to leave the scene and retreat with the wounded Penny in tow. But of course, just like her other plans today, it immediately got derailed, when the enraged monster girl fired off her flames towards her and her vine. She couldn't do anything when her first flame pretty much cut her vine that carried Penny, as the other flames were all aimed towards her. She prepared herself to defend, intending to summon a wall of wood to block the flames, but before she could do that, she was dragged away by another tree root not under her control. [i]Another magical girl with the capability to manipulate wood? So she must be the unknown presence I detected earlier.[/i] She had no time to think about it much as they were still being assaulted by Thalia's flames. She had to hide herself in the debris the new magical girl had brought with her. And then, she watched the new girl walking right towards the enraged beast. That fool, she thought. It seemed she intended to calm the beast down. And Penny herself seemed to have the same idea as well. Suwako sighed. "I suppose it couldn't be helped..." she said to herself. For now, she would stay on standby, readying her vines to pull the two girls away from Thalia in case she decided to attack once more. [@Flamelord][@Shifter_Master][@Majoras End][@Vocab]
