Satori politely declined Eubeal’s invitation with a raised hand and a shake of her head. As jovial as she may have been the Princess of Darkness was a cold calculating hunter and she recognized one of her own in the super predator rapidly gaining on them. The Primeval would probe them for reactions until the moment he saw an opening and she planned to be ready for then. She knew the Pater’s game because it was her own…

Luckily that game included a heaping helping of ego.

The Primeval’s attempt at a connection went off without a hitch, after all Satori had unknowingly stared in the beasts eyes for quite some time, but in doing so he unknowingly invited her in. A master of illusions and darkness in her own right once she detected the intrusion she would hold tight, affixing his senses to her own and then spilling her caustic illusions into the bridge between them until it burst. The backlash would be immediate and vicious for both parties involved, a moment later Satori’s eyes burst like a pair of bloody grapes, leaving two definitively empty holes weeping blood and entrails down her cheeks. Unless the Pater had some way of closing his mind off when he had already invited her in he’d suffer much the same. Satori knew how nasty a tug of war between mentalists could get and rather than waste the time she would simply flip the board.

Not that she needed her eyes to see anyways.

Those little shadows that had been flinging trees in Pater’s way, doing little more than showering him in splinters and amusing the Primeval apparently, pooled together. Dozens of children pooling together until they formed a single large construct like a hand save for the spindly fingers and the too many eyes that dotted its form. Palms open it caught the boulder just as it left the Pater’s grip, shuddering backwards with the weight of the toss for just a moment, before chugging forward like a train and returning the beast to sender. Given the Pater’s overwhelming strength it was likely that the boulder would just shatter all over it at which point the big black paw would sweep through the shrapnel to grab the blind beast and drive it to the ground with the strength of a furious titan. At all times the limb maintained a static distance with Satori meaning that the Pater would be dragged through the ground at an ever increasing rate until even its mighty defenses were worn down.

As for Eubeal's shot? Well even if he didn't readjust he'd have the perfect opportunity to take another one.

“I warned you that you’d have to try better than that!” Eyeless and bloody Satori howled at the top of her lungs, smile splitting along her cheeks and her tongue wagging out between. “If you don’t have the guts to fight then be left in the dust, devil!”
