"Don't say I didn't warn you," Maria said as Andreas released the arrow.

The arrow flies into the being with a sound like a banjo being slammed into a cow's face, ripples like it had been fired into a vat of honey spreading along the being's body.

The waves then continue visibly outside its body, folding the air into hexagons and inverted spheres as the being slowly twists its head around, squelching and cracking sounds shattering the "peaceful" air.

"Did you need something, Andreas?" it asks calmly.

"Hm. So you know my name then… Neat. I was hoping you'd at least react in pain but I suppose with an ego that big, you can't even feel that huh? I'd dramatically introduce myself, but it seems you know who I am already. Though I'd appreciate an intro from you."

Maria reached past the fourth wall, grabbing popcorn from one of the readers. "This is going to get interesting," she said to herself.

The being has an air of casual violence about it, seeming to glare - though it, still, doesn't have any eyes.

"'Ego?' What 'ego?' The only ego I see here is yours, human. If you see ego, it might be you reflecting your own insecurities unto me, which is not my issue. I have no need nor desire to introduce myself to someone as insignificant and petty as yourself. So either silence yourself or I will infiltrate whatever petty universe you crawled from and destroy everything you love and force you to watch as I twist it to match myself." it states.

Caladium stands up and climbs back up into a tree, glaring at Maria and the creature.

"Feel free, the universe I came from has some people who really need to be destroyed. Just aim for the clouds and stars, please and thank you! I didn't really get the chance to love anything with all the restrictions I had. …. So what exactly would 'to match myself' look like?" Andreas is presenting a wide smirk, not at all reacting to the ominous and terrifying sight before him.

"No need to glare at me Caladium," Maria said, "I was merely saving you from yourself, here, share this popcorn with me," Maria smiled sweetly and climbed up the tree next to Caladium, holding out her popcorn as an invitation to share.

There was an opening, and Naveil took it without hesitation.
He ran… well, he power-walked away from whatever had been harassing him. He didn't particularly care for anyone else in the clearing, and if they were the focus of that thing's anger, then so be it.

The being sighs and rolls its metaphorical eyes.

"I grow tired of your incessant prattling on." it says dismissivley. It makes a vague motion with several of its hands and Andreas starts to spaghettify like he's being put through a hotdog machine.

Andreas feels the force pressing on him, and his weapon shatters and he feels himself tearing apart. "Thats… new…." He struggles to say through the force. He silently glares at the thing as he tries to stay concious.
