[Manticore's Village]

Calm Reed stands perfectly still when she sees the slaver raise their gun again. The glow around her becomes brighter as something imperceptible seems to flow from the earth itself through her, rendering her as unmoving and unassailable as a mountain. She puts on a facade of calm over the stabbing pain of her broken finger and stares the slavers down, making slow cutting motions though the air with her hands. Will they stand their ground or realize they're outmatched without her having to actually run up there?
