Although her powers had increased significantly the faun druidess had never had her vision increase more than was necessary. Therefore she still had to squint to be able to see the frost and ice beginning to accumulate at the distance of two miles away, confused at his words and their meaning.

Seal her in? What sort of madness was he speaking of? What sort of drug had he been taking? Was the loneliness of a few decades so much it had gotten to his head?

Sucking her breath in the druidess focused her intent and sent her awareness into the earth. All she needed was a physical part of her to touch a natural material, and with hooves on her feet and the remaking of this world with earth and dust as she had wrought, it was easy. Around her the animals gathered, the wolves baring their fangs in a threat to the being who was, in turn, threatening them. The two mighty stags tossed their heads, baring their multiple pointed antlers. The great birds of prey dove down with wicked claws, scraping the air within feet of Rehtul's face. As one came down and feigned an attack, another would begin a dive. Then as it twisted to swoop away it would rise back into the sky, to make room for the next to flash their talons. Continuously then, the ice mage was given a vicious display of anger and tension.

Meanwhile she pushed her willingness into the earth. Closing her eyes she sent herself through root and soil and discarded brick, far far away to the edge of the ruins. Concentration created deep wrinkles on her forehead as seconds passed, but each an age within her mind, filling her with knowledge, understanding, wisdom ...

Frigid. Brutal. Two miles away at the edge of their respective peripheries a great wall was growing. Of ice. Of brutal ice. She tested along it, found it slightly curved, rounded and began to -

"Bah," she cursed him, coming back to herself. Immediately as she spoke than the eagles, buzzards, falcons and hawks ceased their diving and distraction, lifting into the air to circle back towards her and her throne.

Hands curling into fists she glared.

"Ice does not necessarily destroy earth, mage. This is my realm. Not yours. Find your own." Raising a hand she indicated his ice wall. "Bring that down, now. Or this shall not end happily for you."

Beside her the mighty fox finally rose to his paws. Golden eyes glinting like a myriad of sunlight he raised his hackles and began to snarl. The earth around them began to rumble, the leaves on the saplings that had begun to bloom shivered.

"Leave now."
