[M&M 3e] Defying the Future IC

[Zelphas]

Floral's spiking thorn intersected with {REDACTED} in midair before flying straight and true, striking right in between the beehive-creature's eyes... and passing through its head without leaving a single mark, disappearing into the darkness mere moments later with the Vesper remaining completely untouched by either Floral's strike or Nope's power.

The burst of flames from Helios had a much more noticeable effect. The Vesper closest to him instantly catches fire, one arm going up in a massive plume of heat and light. Moving instantly, the Vesper reaches across with its other arm and severs its own limb; the burning limb falls towards the fountain, but is reduced to scraps of ash before it can even touch the water. The farther Vesper drifts jerkily to one side to avoid the flames, losing several strips of its hide to Ariadne's razor-sharp threading in the process.

The first Vesper, seeing the threads of Ariadne's weaving fall once more, is across the park in moments, one claw reaching up to grasp at Floral's cheek. The other two Vespers--one missing an arm, one with red threads winding around it--look between each other once more, then turn as one towards Helios and send a flood of bees his way, stinging, swarming, and plucking at his hair and clothes as if to tear away bits of skin and spirit them away to their living hives.
