"Keep it busy, I will summon my magic to deal with it!" Zana called out, the tall Fae taking a few steps back before she leapt backwards up into the air; a magical force pulsing out from her last step that caused the grass and vegetation by her feet to suddenly immediately rot and wither away; just as a magical force caught the Fae in her jump, lifting her up into the air as she now hovered 20ft above the ground behind the party!

This time however, it clearly was hostile. She was unsure whether it was coming at her or her new party members, but she would not wish to risk the lives of her companions and leave their fates to chance!

"Source of all shadows, gather in my hands to serve my malevolent intent... " 

Zana began to mutter, her voice echoing through the air as she began to cant the magical words of power to her spell. The poison green hue of her skin suddenly turning a strange, violet color as her green eyes began to change to a magenta color!

Hovering in the air, her long cloak of thorns and vines splayed out around her; she extended one hand, the already weak light seeming to vanish around her arms as a gleaming, distant violet light flickered at her palm. The very air around her began to move as it was sucked directly into the violet bead!

" ... let the darkness cut through light; let the darkness cut through life... !"
