Ashtoreth did not know what to do. She cried, she sobbed, she shook and she tried to scream but it wouldn't STOP. The bird was killing everything, and now it turned to her and her sister, soaked in blood, and she felt everything leave her body. She had to get to her father, but her limbs weren't working. Her feathers just puffed and bristled as she tried to hide, tried to block out the stench of blood and pain.
Why wasn't she used to this by now? Everything in life was cruel. She knew how to overcome it-- just block it out, keep smiling. She played a song in her head, one her father sang to her once. One of her little fang, and focused on the good things in life. She could forget this. She forgot so much already. She just had to escape, save her dad, and then... Then things would be normal, and she could forget and act like the perfect little Star.
But she could not hide, her magic continued to do nothing. She instead scrambled for the fallen rocks, hoping to dig under the rubble to find her father... and to get away, to hide, from the awful bird who was probably going to fight Liora next. She got to the rubble pile in a flash and started to dig with her tiny paws, trying not to draw attention to herself but also oh so frantic. If the green monster came after her next, what could she do? Nothing, nothing, nothing.
