Hal leaped out of the way in an attempt to escape the swing of holy light that chased after him. Further confirmation (to his dismay) of how out of his league this opponent was.
*BEAMMMM!!!*
*BOOOOOOM!!!*
A beam of said holy light hit the spot he had just leaped away from. Annihilating the Rosebushes that beautified the courtyard.
Hal had to admit that the sight brought a frown to his face.
Melinda loved those bushes.
Further confirmation that she was not in control of her body, he was sure she would never destroy (according to her) what makes the mansion feel homely.
But of course, this was of no consequence, he knew all this already, any further confirmation did not help or worsen the situation.
The situation would simply remain the same.
And in this case, the same was a fancy word for trouble.
A barrel roll to escape debris brought him face to face with those dreadful Golden eyes that now seemed mildly amused.
