A few travellers looked out from the carriage with clear worry in their features. Others, a mother and her child, took cover on the carriage's floor, unable to watch the scene or even move. The presence of more Wood Wailers felt like a ray of hope for them all, albeit Clover couldn't help but pay attention to the lone warrior from her side.
He'd bravely killed one of the beasts, the first one to approach them, only to be targeted by two more the next moment.
The girl squeezed the handle of her knife, aware that nothing much could be done against the Ixal's large spears and swords with such a petite weapon; she might be dead before the tip of the short blade reached any of them. On the other hand, her knowledge in elemental magic was still quite limited, but perhaps there was something she could do to help the warrior. Even if just a distraction...
As quickly as she could, Clover reached inside her bag and grabbed an old, small branch. Her arms stuck out the carriage then, branch in hand, and with shut eyes she started concentrating. Right when both beasts seemed ready to attack the white warrior, the ground cracked and moved underneath one of them, giving him a brief struggle not to lose its balance.
It might not have been much, but perhaps that'd give the warrior some time to make a move on the other beast.
