With an angry gesture, the Dryad-Queen interrupted Lydia's metaphysical feasting. With an indignant squawk, Lydia ripped herself out of the half-dead roots that had suddenly spurted sharp thorns.
"Oh, you will pay for that!" The angry witch glared.
"As if I care for your offenses, Demon-Witch." The Dryad-Queen mocked, and the two pressed their hands together as they attempted to push the other to the ground. During her draining of the roots, Lydia had grown to match the Dryad-Queen and neither possessed an outright advantage against the other.
