Spoiler Aubrey notices a new, and unfamiliar voice entering her mind. It sounds... like a dog? Barking? As it barks, images flash in her mind, forming... vaguely sentence-esque structures.

Dex Entry
GREATER WING OF THE BLACK SUN
An excerpt from the Iridescent Queen's Bestiary of Metaphysical Creatures
Family: Spawn of the Black Sun
Evolves From: Lesser Wing of the Black Sun
Evolves To: N/A
Unlike its playful nascent self, the Lesser Wing of the Black Sun, the Greater Wing can't be tamed. These shadowy birds are social creatures who traverse the multiverse in flocks; however, lone G. Wings have been spotted hunting and scouting solo. A tamed G. Wing channeling its master's WILL may revert to a Vortex Egg upon death. Otherwise, its body burns away to nothing.
A curiosity: The Greater Wing is both resistant to and vulnerable to Light-based magics, depending on level of exposure. Too weak, and it will simply absorb the blow like a black hole; too strong, and Greater Wing will be torn apart from inside. We are still studying these eerie, yet majestic creatures.
** The G. Wing's stats were revealed! **
[ G. WING] [ HP: 100] [ SP: 20] [ STATUS: None]
** Ada used SHOCK VOLLEY!! Ada lost 1 SP!! **
** G. WING took 6 Damage!! **

Ada's modest lightning bolts vanish into the The Greater Wing's shadowy plumage.
RAHASYA
"Was that supposed to hurt it?"
Aubrey bristles on Ada's behalf.
AUBREY
"You try something, then!"
RAHASYA
"I intend to."
Their eyes fall shut. The flesh of their forehead forms a vertical seam, which parts to reveal a single red iris. Aubrey jumps back when the slitted pupil aligns with her.
RAHASYA
"Y̝̠̥o̯u'̖l͈͇̲̱̠̤͈l̬͉ ̵̻̝̥̰̞̘̪f̣͕̦ẹ̙e̟̟l̹̗͠ ҉͍̪̮͓̮̻st̼̗̝̬̮͈͜ͅr̨̻͎̳͎a̟̠̹̻̭͕̟ṇ̢̱g̡͈͕e͙̜̠̼̟.̶̳͚̖̬̼̘"
The temperature drops. Rahasya's third eye glows, gathering power from the threads of reality surrounding. The In-Between shivers. Then, suddenly, a beam of light rockets from Rahasya's pupil. A cacophony of whispering voices assaults the party. Aubrey grimaces.

It's currently got 84 HP left. Unless we've got a way of producing a powerful light source, it's probably going to get this attack off.

SpoilerInternal Memo; to Council Member Not a Bear
Oh, you're one of those? I had wondered. Your head is relevant to my interests. Not as relevant to them as I had thought initially, upon meeting those within your faction, but by the time I discovered they were only replicas, I had the 3rd largest collection of them and, well. Habits don't die easily.
Internal Memo to All Members of the Council; We could and probably should be of some Aid to the Aubrey in a rather more direct Manner than just telling her Minions what to do. I suggest we Deliver Her a Gift. A Gift of Something Very Heavy; Destination Address; Coincidentally right above The Greater Wing. My Suggestion As to what the gift should be is Some variety of Furniture, so as to replace that which the Greater Wing just destroyed. Chippendale instead of Chipboard. I am even willing to offer up a part of my collection to facilitate this. Though, if we do go this route, we had probably best lure it outside first. No Point in attempting to Improve relations with the Grey One for destroying her Furniture if we destroy her house in the process. Maybe Make it Seethe again, so it sits still, so do not miss.
The New Management suggests Our Dear Patron escape from the Greater Wing with all possible Alacrity. Before it "Fires its Laser" Like the Grey one just did, as it appears to be "charging" one. The Book should probably take this time to Analyze The Grey One, In case Our Dear Patron also needs to flee from her
RE: Four. - a52 - 07-22-2017
Greetings and good day, Aubrey, council, ladies, gentlemen, persons of no particular persuasion, and various corporations and techno-logical hiveminds,
My deepest apologies for my tardiness. I hope our ventures are going well? And, lest I forget, my gratitude to Aubrey for graciously offering us the position of guide, and my commendations for her excellent performance thus far as visitor.
With regards to the current conflict, although I must yet take a moment to gather my bearings and fully assess the situation, my inclination is to agree with the honorable Mr. Key. Our assailant appears to be preparing itself for quite the vigorous offense -- it would be much to our advantage were we able to redirect its devilry right back to it. Perhaps the Adaptive Combat Bracelet may possess some reflective qualities?
My sincerest hopes for your success in the ensuing battle.

SpoilerWith dearest regards to all,
I believe that perhaps we should refrain from spawning new items. Actions have consequences, and it seems that bringing the Greater Wing may be one of them.
For now, all we may do is guide Aubrey. I however have nothing new to suggest her, so I will leave fighting to all of you.
With a tired heart,
Tulip.
