Anise barely had any time to be surprised at the reaction the Lantern had to the lightning of the sword. The gryphon soon after dove right for her. She had hardly a moment to think. How could she defend against it? She could throw her will at it and hope that it and the Lantern combined would be enough, but she imagined there might be some protections against the Lantern's power. However, the power of the Dragon did defeat the lightning of the pirate's sword. More than anything, she didn't want to kill either of them. Knowing the paranoia of the pirates about the Dragon, she'd have to incapacitate them somehow to get the Lantern here. The ship wasn't far away maybe she could dive into the lake and swim the remaining distance. Except, that would probably be suicide because the water would drench whatever clothing she had left and slow her down heavily as soon as she left the water. She then realized that she was probably being attacked because she was wearing a mask and probably had been mistaken for a Kith. She braced herself and threw up her will against the gryphon. She wanted to make it think she was more to the side than she actually was causing it to dive into the water. If she could project her emotions and thoughts into other creatures perhaps she had the power to make them believe something that wasn't true. She had no doubt that she could make this work.
