Before she had a chance to aim and fire, the creatures who had been rushing at her had suddenly screamed out in agonizing pain, while simultaneously being ripped apart by Thorn's plants within a matter of seconds.
For the briefest of moments, everything seemed to become quiet and still (though she knew it was probably all in her own head at the moment, considering there was still signs of movement all around her.) She felt grateful and she was about to express this to Galen, but more of the hellish Darkseekers had saw to it that she was distracted once more.
"Galen!" she exclaimed loudly, looking completely white with shock to see that he had been taken down so quickly. She hadn't even had time to blink and they had been all over him.
In the corner of her eye, she saw more of the cannibals scrambling over their fallen fellows to get to their seemingly newly procured meal. However, the Scarlet Witch was going to have none of that and she ran at them, hands held outstretched in front of her, firing hex-after-hex. She had no idea if they were merely going to knock them away from Thorn, or if there was even going to be a reaction at all. At this point in the game, she knew her hexes were going to have completely random side-effects. For all she knew, all of her previous ones would be undone.
