Ken and Sam debated the ethics of cyborg eldritch artillery.
Zil got up, helping fend off the attacking fish with fire while Finn got up and began swinging her sword. Lightning and ice came out in equal measure as the two cleaved through countless attacking fish. Candy let out her screams, devastating entire squads while the Demon shot off blasts of lightning and ice. Nocturne and La Chat fought at their best, beating, slicing, and hacking the Fish down.
Maria and Chalchi used their water together, slamming down waves of enemies as they facilitated Theraea's work. Siren kept up her assault on the tentacles, stabbing and prying off the remainder of them.
Down in the Chasm, Theraea reached into the deepest wells of her power. She was far from the greatest Weaver mage, and this was well beyond her abilities.
But she had to try.
Unleashing growing wisps of black Abyssal energy, she focused inward and stretched the wisps across the portal. Each latched onto a portion of the rim.
And then they began to pull, vast waves of purple and orange energy washing over the whirlpool. She felt her very soul being burned as the throbbing in her head throbbed through her body. Buckling down involuntarily to her knees, her body seemed to stretch and warp as the pressure nearly tore her apart. Bursts of screaming erupted from her lungs as pain overcame her.
A massive tentacle slammed down at her, but Lady Light punched it back, keeping her safe and her concentration secure.
As the portal drew to a close, Theraea saw two giant eyes staring at her through the murky whirlpool and she felt a voice in her mind.
"I WILL RETURN, WEAVER. IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE."
And then the portal bubbled closed, cutting off the last of the tentacles. The chasm of teeth around her began to yellow and rot, and the black veins that ran throughout the temple began to fade and disappear. The Fish, though, didn't revert back to their humans form. Rather, a kind of aggressive feral madness seemed to overcome them.
Theraea had undergone changes as a result of this experience. Her wings now had shades of purple and black mixed in, and her fluffy body was now covered in black veiny patterns. Her eyes had also gone from black to a very dark purple.
Following the portal's closure, Theraea collapsed to the ground. All strength was gone from her body, though she was still faintly conscious.
