Shrike's first ball rolls to the shoreline, making it not a total loss like the first one but, it is eventually something that will probably have to be addressed. And, after that, Shrike's rolls got a lot more Consequential(tm).
The second one was also empty, but it rolls to the back of Aki's heel, causing her to stumble back and over onto the ground. The third rolls next o her and recalls Queen Princess Carolyn. The fourth, as luck would have it, sails over the commotion, hurling through the air with the power of destiny, smacking yet another Flabebe that was just spectating the commotion.
The ball drops to the sand and starts to rattle. Aki pulls herself up and dusts herself off. Budew and the sparring Flabebe pause to watch the outcome. The entire world seems like it hangs on the precipice of this moment.
i told u It Gets Worse(tm) from here. also, doing this in prose is actually really nice haha
