Acacia stood slowly keeping eye contact with the beast. Her legs shook beneath her, but she had enough control left to stand up straight. "I have a merit in the, erm", she said looking around for a small model to show her practice, "creative arts, if you will." She placed her sore paw over a small patch of grass and conjured nearly every bit of energy she had left.
Beneath her paw grew a small stem with a bud nearly ready to sprout. She smiled, but quickly regained herself as to not reveal any weaknesses to someone she was still unsure of as an accomplice.
