	Antoinette sighed with relief and smiled when Edus came too and the shield around Neil dropped. She squeezed her partner's shoulder before he was off. Antoinette turned around to see Bethany roll and then hippos appear. She didn’t even get a good chance to read the riddle before the creatures came to. As Antoinette looked at the hippos, she was reminded of the Christmas song about wanting a hippopotamus for Christmas. It made Antoinette smile a little but hippos were not nice creatures by nature. 
	Edus came to stand back behind Antoinette, asking for coverage as he held something fine in his hands that Antoinette could not see. She would try her best to cover him and refocused on the hippos. Antoinette thought of a nice jungle scene and calm waters. Kind of like what Disney’s Tarzan’s one looked like before he fell into the water and minus the elephants. It was a beautiful image inside Antoinette’s mind, but unfortunately even with her purple eye glowing, no illusion came to light. 
	Antoinette sighed but didn’t give up, she switched tactics as her eyes started to sparkle. Perhaps it would be a bit reckless to shoot fireworks at enraged hippos but Antoinette had a shortage of options and she couldn’t think of another illusion to try at the moment. Unfortunately, these too fizzled out. Antoinette frowned, an unusual expression on her normally calm face. [color=#DDA0DD]”Edus, you may want to hurry with your task,”[/color] she urged him.
