Chise had been pulled into The Ten of Pentacles Card. Though she could no longer express human emotions, she felt a strong need to protect Casterline. Mostly from Fiaerna, whom she was terrified of for reasons she could no longer remember. But also from any that might put Caste's life at risk. Being separated from her Master really pissed her off. She missed the comfort of sleeping inside the broadsword where she didn't have to see herself reflected in surfaces, she could ease into dreams of another life in another world. Agitated as she was, it didn't help that she was voraciously hungry, as well. The Pentacle Holder threw pentacles at her like ninja shuriken. She caught the nine pentacle throwing stars in her mouth but immediately spat them back at the The Holder once she realized they were inedible. With one of ten coins remaining, The Holder had lost his composure and began to tremble as the winged Lamia bared her sharp fangs. Being a greedy, materialistic man, he refused to drop the last big coin. There was no escape as Chise closed in, unhinged jaws open wide as she swooped down upon her prey...
