Augusta was content with the exchange of promises.  Take the seed with them and the Garden would allow them an easy escape.  It was nothing but a win for them, and they keep Octavia!  Of course, it was her hound after all!  She watched as Isidore pocketed the seed and motioned for them to leave.  Considering the words of the flower at it not being able to hold the guardian for too long... That likely was not a bad idea.  "Octavia, follow me~"  She cooed at the demon dog as she followed Isidore out the new opening.

As they escaped back the way they came, she wondered what became of Nick.  Since he'd been perfectly fine if he followed them, she wondered what he sensed that was just that bad.  Was it, perhaps, that since the gift was from the goddess and she seemed to hate demons...  She'd rather give him a terrible warning about the giant flower demon than some wretches?  It was peculiar to her, though not surprising, for the most part.  The bright side, she hadn't seen the young man's corpse anywhere so far as the whole area was rumbling.

The plant was definitely keeping its part of the deal.

As they ascending from a sickly sweet smelling hell, they ran into something rather familiar.  Wretches.  Five of the same bastards from earlier.  Her first thought was, [i]This is going to be easy,[/i] but Isidore's words caught her off guard.  He wanted her and Donovan to keep running.  She knew his power was strong for taking a hit, but it should be fine to wipe these things out quickly.  "Come now Isidore.  There's five of them cluttering the hallway."  She raised a hand and shot a firebolt from it, blasting one of the creatures.  "Unlike you, I don't feel like taking an injury today from trying to run through these guys."  She fire another bolt out at the same creature.  

"Octavia, would you be a dear and help out?  Donovan, think you can handle one?"  She was confident in the dog's ability to handle one, since it easily did so earlier.  She just knew Donovan only had a shield so it might be a bit difficult to actually end one, though he did use that odd magic earlier that she wanted to bring up later.  Regardless, these were fairly weak creatures so it should be fine to dispose of them quickly.
