Jared only had a brief moment to appreciate the effect of his attack on Midvalley, watching him fall as the earth cracked beneath him. He attempted to strike a second time, hoping to keep Midvalley down and vulnerable, but just as the musician began to play his instrument, any hope of that was dashed.
Not only was the sound piercing, but waves burst forth from the instrument, and before he could predict a way to counteract them, he was sent hurdling across the arena with no means to stop himself. He managed to land on his feet, but the wind had been completely knocked out of him.
So that was the Niflheimer's specialty. Quigby recorded the note he had played so they could be prepared later, but the question remained: did every note cause that to happen?
Knowing that he and the others had to risk finding out, Jared immediately reached into the marble bag, pulling out Poppy. If there was one thing Dorian and his crew had going for them, it was the element of surprise.
Exchanging marbles, Jared morphed into Poppy. The girl barely acknowledged her renewed existence before she became invisible, as was her power.
