Seeing the dart in the skies, Judith begins to run over to the area.

“Thanks for the assist by the way”"Time to tidy up."
From underneath the woman's feet, a pitch black hole would come to manifest. Cartoonishly sized and seeming as if it's pit went on for eternity. She gave it a kick, as if it were as weightless as a soccer ball. With luck, regardless of her compatriot's success, she'd attempt to force the golem to fall directly into the portable hole, sent to flail in it's depths. That is before another connected hole opened up in the sky, allowing gravity to take the lead and slam it back down onto the ground elsewhere.
“Nice shot there Maria!”"AVERY CHARGE!"
The woman stomps her foot, a surging electricity swarming around her. She's filled up with some kind of energy, empowering her abilities somehow. Or rather, unlocking some that she's held back before. The mild power of creation and imagination was held within her hands, and suddenly, two flags were as well. She smirked and began waving them like a lunatic, a stark juxtaposition to her behavior earlier. Two birds inside what looked like to be cartoonish airplanes would appear dashing through the sky en route to a kamikaze holding spherical bombs alongside them in their cockpit. They swerved around, aiming to take charge at the back of the golem of flesh's body to explode upon impact with it's neck. Combining Judith's attack with hers, if lucky, it would be utterly sandwiched between the two forces. A combination attack.
The cartoonish energy within her begins to subside and her movements become far more subdued and proper. She clears her throat, hands straightening her bushed cravat. Once done, she gives a nod towards the one person she's at least made conversation with during this journey. Anna. Just what kind of a person was she? Maria felt inclined to find out.“Nice shot there Maria!”
“I have to agree with Maria here. Marksmanship like that is valuable no matter where you are.”"You would be correct. And that archery talent of yours ... I must commend you on your skill as well."
A slight wave of her hand. She may have been haughty at times -- but even she could recognize finessed prowess when she saw one.
“I am unsure of this, however I would like to avoid combat if necessary. Especially between us.”Maria nodded in agreement with Anna. Accuracy could make all the difference between life and death; especially in situations like that. But then tilted her head in response to the archer's statement. Eventually, after a few moments, she understood. A soft hum escaped her as her irises sized her up.
"I see. So, you have a skill like I do. I must say, it seems more than a coincidence that people like us were placed in the same area together. Did whoever sent us here expect us to go at each other like barbarians...? Or ... do they have something more complicated planned ... ?"
“Yeah, I’m certainly not used to company on this sort of... mission. Well, it certainly wasn’t whatever voice lit me on fire.”Maria nodded in agreement with Anna.

"That certainly seems like the best option, doesn't it? These people ... they seem to think of us as demons. Perhaps we should play on that. I'm sure you all don't enjoy playing off of fear. But, if they truly do fear us, perhaps it could benefit us in the long run. Let's attempt negotiation from here on out. And if that doesn't work, at least I get to see your bow in action again."“I am unsure of this, however I would like to avoid combat if necessary. Especially between us.”
Judith would rather avoid death at this point, and from what she could tell, there are plenty of other people capable of doing just that.
“Well, this would provide me a chance to actually try and talk with the locals.”"That certainly seems like the best option, doesn't it? These people ... they seem to think of us as demons. Perhaps we should play on that. I'm sure you all don't enjoy playing off of fear. But, if they truly do fear us, perhaps it could benefit us in the long run. Let's attempt negotiation from here on out. And if that doesn't work, at least I get to see your bow in action again."
A finger trailed along the side of her chin. She was thinking thoroughly about her situation. Her status may not have been all gone. Perhaps, if she could not rule as an heiress, there may just be a place in this world for her to rule ... as a demon.
Anna looks at her oddly after her talk about demons"That certainly seems like the best option, doesn't it? These people ... they seem to think of us as demons. Perhaps we should play on that.

"Glad to hear it. This is how it's done in the business world, you see. The right words can subdue even the most violent of quarrels."Anna looks at her oddly after her talk about demons
“Demon is relative. But if fear keeps out unnecessary bloodshed, I’m all for it.”
"What ...?"Selene suddenly looked rather confused, and then started looking around.
To everyone that had pursued the mage, she stated this.
"Something is watching us from another realm."
