"I don't know what you are. Now isn't the time for this. If you want to help, then help! No deals now" Nora said to the little-flying woman.

"Alright. No deal." The voice was spoken matter-of-factly, with no hostility. "Good luck!" the strange thing said, and something in its voice sounded genuine, still, it flew away.

Nora had been doing pretty well avoiding attacks while the little-woman was there, but her sudden departure stunned Nora, she watched the iridescent wing flit away and didn't see the second tentacle swinging down upon her. She danced out of the way of the first, but the second landed squarely across her side. It was hard to focus through the pain, but when the next tentacle swung her way, she moved towards hit, holding the little knife out, arm locked.

The tentacle collided with point of the knife wand quickly retreated. Blood splattered across Nora's face in like a warm rain as she allowed the momentum of her charge to carry her forward, to the other-side of the monster. The short charge emphasized how worn she was, as she felt her each step start to hurt, skin pulling on fresh wounds and over fresh bruiss.

The struggle was getting ****.
