To Face True Agony

Asher's teeth gnashed together, his frustration boiling over as he spat defiantly at Lori, "In your dreams, you crazy snake!" His voice echoed, filled with resolve and anger.

"You insolent brat! SSSHHHHKK!"

Lori's response was immediate and ferocious. With a hiss that vibrated the very air of the cavern, she lunged forward, her massive jaws gaping wide to end the confrontation with a single, crushing bite. 

But as her maw clamped shut, Asher's figure vanished into thin air, leaving her biting nothing but the damp, cold cave air.

Her massive head recoiled in confusion, her dark purple eyes blinking rapidly as she scanned the area, wondering how he was able to simply vanish into thin air again, just like that, without leaving any trace behind. 

He shouldn't have been able to teleport since she had locked him down with her aura.
