Calliope listened to the 
whispers. "...Exer! That's what 
GARS does to you." 
Half human and cat, she sunk 
within her pea coat.

The thugs saw a little old lady 
and easy target. She saw six fools 
about to die at the hands of the 
greatest shinobi ninja alive.

She gagged, eyes staring past the 
Adonis strangling her. Heather saw 
the frat boy she'd so rudely rebuked, 
coming to her rescue.

"Yeh can't git me on shore!" the 
poacher taunted. 
The lake spirit whipped 40 years 
of fishing tackle at him. 
Snared, he screamed. 
#TuesTell

Terale comforted him. "Your injuries 
would've killed you. Are you unhappy 
as an Ent?" 
He held her. "No, life's a birch sometimes."
