Warnings: Shantotto. ...she's a warning. Trust me.
Finding herself laying on the ground was the very last place the retired Windurst Minister would ever expect to find herself. It took the petite woman a moment to sit up as she was feeling more than a little groggy. Try as she might, she couldn't remember at all what had brought her here. She'd simply been in her mansion and that's the last thing she could remember. She couldn't recall any sense of a teleport or warp spell going off. The Tarutaru had been merely fixing herself dinner.
Getting to her feet finally and dusting off her uniform, Shantotto began to really look around.
What was this place? It couldn't possibly be Vana'diel, that was for sure. She knew her world well, and no city, not even Jeuno or Bastok, resembled this place. It appeared to be quite huge, but she quickly noted the destruction around her.
Well, feeling under the weather or not, she wouldn't find out anything by standing around here.
The tarutaru started making her way down the street, pausing at windows, beside destroyed cars and even parking meters caught her interest, tilting her head from side to side in thought at each. She wasn't sure what half the objects she saw were, but they intrigued her no end.
Peeking beneath another mangled car, she paused as she sensed she wasn't alone. A glance over her shoulder caught a movement out of the corner of her eye. Shantotto quickly cast a spell, magic forming around the monster that had been closing in on her. Feeling a brief wave of dizziness from the spell, caught her rather by surprise. She shook it off for now.
The bind spell wouldn't last terribly long, so she quickly turned her attention to the monster that was now stuck in place. It wasn't asleep, but magically seemed to be unable to get any closer to her, though it wanted to. Hands on her hips she kept a good distance from it as she examined it. Like everything she'd seen so far, it was in no way familiar to her. Shantotto didn't like the look of it, however.
While she was sorely tempted to cast an elemental spell to kill it, that dizziness she'd felt when she'd cast bind actually worried her a bit. Normally she would have taken the chance, but better safe than sorry she supposed, regretfully.
Hopping back a few feet, she instead chose to cast a sleep spell over the creature. And once more she felt rather woozy for a few moments after the spell had completed.
Well, what a bother! She'd never had such a problem. Even drawing the magic to cast felt... off. Well, now wasn't the time to think about this. The sleep spell would only buy her a minute or two to put some much needed distance between her and it.
It was a bit of a shame, however. She really would have liked to have had a little more fun with it. Escaping seemed to be her only option unless a passing adventurer would just happen to pass by about now. They were always so useful in situations that could be dangerous to her health, after all!
