"You talk [i]way[/i] too much about pointless things" Malice said to Reala "also, never explain your magic to the enemy little girl. I don't care who you or your mother are, in fact, I've already forgotten your names they were so insignificant." A new with with a topaz gem and glow appeared on her finger, suddenly a dome of stone surrounded everyone in and near the house "the boy was right you know; you really [i]should[/i] have run when you had the chance. However I'm afraid that now it's too late. I can tell that none of you here have enough magical power to even so much as scratch a dome of stone made by the mighty-" However she was cut short by Nathan

"HAAAAA!" Sending his fist into the stone in front of him, the force of his punch made a huge gaping hole in the stone dome "magic is overrated" he quipped. However in the time it took him to say that, the hole repaired itself 'damn it!'

"...What" Malice said flatly. After she spent a few seconds gathering her wits, she sighed and said "well clearly I'm woefully unprepared. Oh well, nothing I can't fix with time" With a snap of her fingers, the dome crumbled and vanished "alright then, seems I have some more work to do" she said as she walked away from them

"Heh?" Nathen was surprised "did...did she just let us go? Just like that? All I did was punch a hole through magically reinforced stone, I don't think that would be enough to scare her off"
