once upon a dream
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream // I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam // And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem // But if I know you, I know what you'll do // You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
As more gather, it feels like the relic has created quite the show. Lucinda still does not recognize any of the faces until she notices red horns and roses. Her brow raises when she realizes it's Vendetta, although it's not all that surprising that the woman is here. But now, it surely is a real competition.
Nothing happens for a few more moments, but then the island comes alive. The trees twist and morph in an unnatural way to form bones, then the ground beneath latches on to form skin. A beast emerges from the chaos and looks at them all with a crazed hunger in its eyes. As she had figured, getting the relic isn't going to be an easy task, but then nothing truly fun ever is.
There are two who face the beast head on, but Lucinda knows better. While it's distracted, she instead aims for the middle of the snake with her staff. She waves it in the air before striking down in an attempt to pierce the snake's skin. Perhaps it will hurt enough where it might jerk to the side and she can slip in and grab the relic while no one's looking. It's a lovely thought, but she still keeps herself ready in case the snake tries to strike back. While she didn't care as much for the relic before, she feels compelled to win now, even if it's just for the sake of winning.
(Lucinda picks option two)
