[ElentariGreenleaf]

Elentari could fell the power pulsating around her body. Her staff and outline glowed brightly now. Bitterness inside was growing, growing to a point of true hatred towards Shelob. Elentari felt more power surround her as Arawil joined her. Together they were unstoppable. Shelob had no chance, or did she?

Shelob was pushed back against a wall by the sheer force of the energy gathering. But now she too started to glow. Elentari and Arawil did not see this - they now had their eyes closed as they chanted a spell of destruction. However, Hreeza saw the spider's own spell being cast and was filled with new strength. She flew towards the two heroines and floated between their shoulders.

"Hreeza, stay out of this," thought Elentari to Hreeza.

"No. I will not let you and Arawil do this alone. We three have the power to defeat her. She is casting her own spell."

Elentari opened her eyes for a moment. Shelob was glowing purple and seemed a lot bigger than before. Elentari stood up. Still chanting her original spell she turned around to face the others. They all had pure fear in their eyes; they were afraid of both Shelob and the elf-witch.

"Do not fear me," she thought to them. Elentari pointed her staff at one sidewall, then the other. A bright and powerful diamond protection spell was cast around them. Elentari had to lean on her staff for a moment, but continued her chant. If she stopped now the spell would fail. She turned back around to face Shelob.

The three brave heroines now stood facing Shelob with their eyes open, chanting the spell in perfect sync. They were as one now, Elentari leading the spell. As Elentari held her staff out in front of her Arawil and Hreeza held on to it.

It seemed strange to Hreeza. For the first time she held something in her grasp. How could this be? She did not have visible form.

Elentari stopped chanting, but Hreeza and Arawil kept going. "Hreeza," said Elentari in a voice that sounded unlike her own. "For this you will need the form unnatural to wind sprites. On behalf of the company I grant you your hearts desire." A mark appeared on Elentari's forehead, which ten seemed to float across to Arawil's then on to Hreeza, where it glowed brightly.

Hreeza felt things more clearly now. She felt the woods texture; felt Elentari's power as well as Arawil's. The sprite turned around and saw the others staring at her, open mouthed.

Elentari looked at Hreeza and smiled. There in front of her stood a young woman with long silvery hair. "Now on with the spell. We must continue it before Shelob finishes hers."
