It was such a close call, and Lisette knew it, too. If it hadn't been for Don, Lisette would likely have been decimated by either the giant scissors that were flung towards her, or the greatsword that would have landed just inches from where she was standing.

But of course, that didn't phase Lisette as much as the giant sea mammal landing on and crushing her hero. The sea creatures falling from the sky were gradually getting bigger, but fate was especially cruel to Don Capuello, it seemed, as he was the recipient of the biggest one thus far.

"Eek, Mister Capuello, nooo!" Lisette cried, a shrill sound not unlike the whale's whistling. Until Lucien pulled him away, Lisette assisted in trying to push it off of Don. She pushed and pushed with everything she had to no avail, accomplishing nothing but making two narrow trenches in the mud as her boots slid backwards from the effort.

Another crack of lightning and a roar of thunder, and Selan felt somehow detached from the fights in front of her, and from the treants surrounding them. She crouched low to the ground, still pressing her hands to her ears, and a shivery, tingling feeling washed over her body more intensely than the pouring rain. Then the difficulty catching her breath settled in, and Selan recognized this as a panic attack, something she tended to only experience when she was left by herself. 

A swooping sensation suddenly took over, much to Selan's confusion. But it was a strangely pleasant feeling, since the thunder seemed farther and farther away...
