Nessie stepped up, , "I might surprise you, at least that will wipe the smile off your face" she snapped at him, pleased it didn't come out as a stutter. 

As the monster was released, Nessie didn't stand still. The air had slowly started o grow warmer around Nessie, and she pushed off the ground, using Elpis to launch herself into the air, and behind the beast, yet it turned and managed to snap at her, and she winced at the cuts that formed when its teeth had scratched her.

She was sick and tired of people looking at her, and most likely thinking she wouldn't survive, she was not going to fail here, and she would prove it. She didn't notice the flames form, dancing along her skin, bright yellow, almost golden flames, red and oranage chucked in. 

The beast charged her, and she wasn't fast enough to come out of her brief thought to dodge and she cursed herself a fool. It raised its front paws, and racked them down her side as she tried to twist away. She cried out, then stumbked back, away from the beast to take a few breaths

She charged the beast as the beast charged her and, water forming, she threw it in the air around the monster, and with barely a thought, she made it harden as it fell on the beast, hoping to slow it. Elpis she knew, elpis she understood, elpis she could use. She didn't stop, instead she launched herself onto the monster, the bursting over her body, turning her into a living flame just about. The ice melted around the monster, and Nessie's flames still lived, starting to burn the monster. She held tight to its back, ignoring the cries despite wanting to let it go. It might be trained to fight them, yet she still couldn't help but feel bad.

her flames engulfed the creature, and she flung herself off it. "Am I done?" She asked, still aflame. She frowned, looking at the flames covering her body, and her blood coating the floor where it had dropped. She could feel her heart pounding fast in her chest. She glanced back up at the burning creature.
