Simon was the first to fall victim to Vinea's loss of control.
The Princess dashed across the room, snapping her leg at his chest like a whip, a single strike, which created a snap so loud and clear it woke him up just as she sent him flying through the wall and into the room next door.
Paul, who'd barely regained consciousness and stood up, turned pale in fright as she dashed toward him.
"Don't do this, Princess!"
Unlike Simon, his fingers held two wooden runes that snapped in half, creating a purple bubble that blocked her advance. Paul was the weakest of the three physically. Still, he was no weakling either; with his runic skills and the spells he created, he had a way to combat her.
At least for the moment.
