Starglow Basin secret tunnel

She tore, she clawed—whatever it took to keep this woman away from him. Anger fueled her, drove her, as the wicked woman still made a bid for someone so small. There was a millisecond of satisfaction to be had when the woman shrieked, but Medusa was quick as a whip in an effort to quiet her down. She had to be. Fortunately, the cartel did half the work with their location. The rest was up to her.

This was quicker than she thought it’d be, and when the blonde one was still and silent she bolted after Nokht who hadn’t made it very far at all. There was time for nothing else but to pick him up, and to run for both of their fucking lives. No, one other thing. Medusa turned back to grab and redistribute a totem for @Qiao and @Nokht that Toula had made. She was meant to leave it at the border, but it would be more potent within—something to protect. She’d carried that with her bag of herbs, tucked away. It was… Something to let the woman know she wasn’t forgotten, on Medusa’s part now. From Toula, probably an indicator that they’d be coming or just some protective sigil. That took no time at all, but Medusa rushed to the next task even still. The most important one. 

One thing about Medusa was that she was swift. She wasted not even a second of time that was granted to her. And she thanked the God of time, asking for this minute to stretch on a little longer. 

Medusa would not stop until she was home. Boy in her mouth, Medusa would run and run and run and run until the palace was in sight. Even then, she would run into it—her heart hammered wildly against her chest. 

lmk if this pp needs to be adjusted, I kept it vague so you could decide what knocked her out!
