Anise felt both exhilarated and awed by the power that now flowed through her by the completely freed blue egg. As she yanked the White Lantern from the tree she knew very much now that she could fly and an explosion of joy and ecstasy flooded through her. She could do what the gryphon could and it was wonderful.

She heard the explosion as Peck was launched into the tree and she watched as the Witch stood back up and flicked her wrist at her. Ice materialized from the lake and went flying towards Anise faster than she could imagine. She flew around the tree as quickly as she could to break line of sight from the Witch and get a barrier between her and the icicles, but one clipped her left arm and another opened a gash in her left side.

Anise yelled out in pain as she was hit. After she made it to the other side of the tree she considered briefly going back to rescue Peck, but she knew he was too close to the Witch for her to rescue him. She hoped that Reus had gotten out of there safely too. She hesitated struggling to decide her next course of action. She flew lower to the ground as she made her choice.

She closed her eyes. "I promised myself that I wouldn't let anyone die if I could help it." Then an idea popped in her head, if the White Lantern could let her fly, perhaps she could make other things fly. She peeked around the tree and looked at the dirt before the Witch she reached out to the dirt with the power of both eggs and called for it to fly into the Witch's face to blind her. If this succeeded, then she would save Peck.
