A nod of Clotho's head acknowledged the response of Balothiss.  [color=9F8170]"Good."[/color]  Her wings beating too quickly to see, she flitted behind Balothiss and uttered a high-pitched chirp.  Immediately, a trio of Lambents homed in on her position, and after receiving their instructions all four worked together to lift Balothiss into the air.  Bearing this living load, they approached the enormous demon, and steadily gained altitude so as to be above it when the time came.  For now, Emily and Torrens occupied the unholy giant's attention, enabling the swarm queen's group to get into an advantageous position.  After a few moments they reached the opportune spot, and Balothiss dangled several hundred feet above the cavern floor, and more importantly, the target.  If the Carver saw the height and felt inclined to back out, the opportunity was long passed.  No way remained but down.

Clotho smirked again.  [color=9F8170]"Fortune be with you.  If you do your job but splatter on the floor, rest assured I will weep bitter tears for you."[/color]  With that, she chirped again, and as one the Lambents dropped Balothiss, sending the mighty warrior hurdling toward his target.
