Lexi squinted at her, but ultimately what choice did she have? "Alright, if you're sure. I'm trusting you to stay in control" she said, seriously to Meyla before directing her attention back to the cottage. "Ok, as far as we know, there's one wolf in there who's eaten a little girl and her grandmother. We have to be delicate with this. We can't kill it. We can stun it, but we're only allowed to cut open it's stomach and let the people out. No death. At least, not by us. If the wolf dies from the disembowelment, then that's what happens. No beheading, no swords to the heart, nothing. You guys got that?"

"Yes Ma'am!" Meyla replied with a grin and a mock salute. She clicked her fingers and a small ball of fire appeared in her palm, she let it burn for a few minutes and the extinguished it in a puff of smoke. It was something she liked to do to help her keep focus on the task ahead of her.

Lexi raised an eyebrow, but said nothing about it. She turned to Dante. "You gonna cause me any problems?"

Dante tried to look as innocent as possible.
"No I'm not going to cause you any trouble at all"
He drew his katana and let the magic swirl around the blade.
"By the way Little Red Riding Hood is about to die so I suggest we get moving"

"She's been in there for three days, I'm sure she can handle another two minutes" Lexi said, but with a sigh she acknowledged that Dante had a point, they should probably get her out sooner rather than later. "Come on then..." Lexi waked to the door, paused for a moment, considered knocking and then kicked the door in.

Dante grinned happily as Lexi kicked the door in.
"Oooo very subtle! How about next time we just shout that we are on our way?"
Something moved quickly inside the cottage and Dante wrapped a magical barrier around Lexi. He waited for a moment then something heavy struck the shadowy barrier.
"He knows we're here!"

"Of course he knows we're here. He's been expecting someone to come barging in since day one" Lexi said, irritated. She walked into the house and waited. The wolf moved quickly, but Lexi was quicker. The next time he came at her, she ducked out of the way and he went crashing through a table.

Dante wrapped a tendril of shadows around the wolf's ankle and hoisted him off the floor so he hung limply in the air.
"You try and do something nice but all you get is an earful for your troubles"
With his katana in one hand keeping the wolf in the air, Dante placed his hand on the wolf's stomach to feel for signs of life. Dante raised the wolf up to look into his eyes as he was being surprisingly docile for a man eating wolf.
"Is there a description of what the wolf looks like?"

"Nope, just a wolf" Lexi said, remembering back to the stories she'd read. "Look, there's magic in this world. He'll survive being cut open. So are you gonna let me get the kid and the old lady out of him?"

Dante looked at her as the realisation dawned on him.
"This isn't the wolf we're looking for; this is a decoy"
A window upstairs smashed and Dante dashed to the window in time to see a gigantic wolf take off into the forest. He immediately dropped the other wolf.
"There's no way we can catch up to him"
