[indent]As if the howling wind from Maive’s call wasn’t chilly enough, the icy grip of decay began to spread on the island.

As Danny spoke his confession to the world, the grass around his feet began to wither, darkening to an ashen grey, until those ashes, too, scattered. The mist descended, hiding the young man from view, before a weathered wooden oar pierced its veil and brushed it aside like a curtain.

A burst of power radiated forth, clearing the last of the mist, sending a thrum through the soul of anyone near. At Danny’s mental command, a bolt of black energy, loose, almost liquid in form, flew from his Persona’s finger and struck the frog, right in its face.

It recoiled slightly, but didn’t appear very fazed. It opened its mouth again, only to find its lips crumbling, the mucous and flesh conducting an ethereal decay throughout its face. 

The frog began to panic. It roared, flailed about, swinging its wings and legs at anything nearby. Several large chunks of earth narrowly missed Orlando, who managed to dive out of the way just in time.

It swung its tongue around like a large whip, Sofia ragdolling about, still held tight in its sticky grasp.

Then, the decay spread. It ate through the frog’s lips, muscle, and bone—and the base of the tongue. Sofia went flying. Up and up, limbs whirling about. It reminded Imogen of old Sauce Engine physics.

And then she landed, thankfully not on the ground, but in water. She splashed into the ocean, and disappeared under the surface.

The frog bellowed one last time, though it was more of a weak howl, considering it was missing most of its face. Its legs gave out, its wings flapped helplessly, and it crashed into the remaining underbrush.

It didn’t leave a corpse. Just moments after it died, its form began to fade into a white mist, like sea spray.

The chaos was over—everyone seemed safe—minus Sofia and one missing Victor.[/indent]
