Zoe made her way towards Violet to check in on things with her. She secretly hoped the one, watery Guardian boy was following after her so she could give Violet a good challenge. Two Guardians shouldn’t be too difficult for her to fend off and she wanted to watch what unfolded. The Lamb and Wolf Guardian was strange so she wanted to learn more about them, but also had a devious plan forming.
Zoe, Violet sent her mental message. There's a civilian here. This doesn't seem part of the plan. Well this was a development. Zoe hurried her pace without answering Violet. Let her stew and see what happens. A touch of chaos was always something delicious.
When she arrived at the clearing, the Lamb and Wolf guardian was stalking her Corrupted Guardian. They were decidedly distracted so Zoe locked eyes with Violet and made a shush motion. Concealing a giggle, she silently snuck up on the spiritual duo while revealing a large, magical star for a weapon. Squinting briefly, she saw what she wanted to see and grinned. Bringing up the glowing, purple energy she swiftly struck down, finding her mark.
An invisible tether was broken between Lamb and Wolf. Zoe hadn’t hit flesh, but had hit some conceptual, fundamental property of the poor Guardian. The effect wasn’t immediately clear, especially to those who were merely an audience. The Guardian had frozen, aside from the gentle swaying of Wolf’s tail. Staring at one another, horror grew in their widening eyes.
“Lamb are we…”
“Separated?” Lamb finished the statement, but flinched and reached out towards Wolf. Zoe laughed aloud now and clutched at her stomach. Heads turned towards her and she wiped a tear from her eyes for laughing so hard.
“Oh delightful! This worked out so much better than I’d hoped!” She floated in a lazy circle and chuckled between words. “I can already feel the mounting despair, little Lamb and Wolf. It won’t be long before you’re mine, the First Light can’t protect you forever.”
The Guardians looked at each other and wordlessly came to the same conclusion. With Lamb leading the way, the two ran deeper into the woods. Their story would continue to unfold in a more private space. But, there was still an innocent girl watching things play out from the edge of the woods.
“Well well, are you not a Guardian, young one?” Zoe asked gently. Her tone had shifted to something soft and manipulative. This would be just icing on the cake to stir more trouble between her Corrupted Violet and one of the meddling Guardians of this town. There was so much she hoped to accomplish with this little group and so much time to toy with them.
