Nasty once gem creatures like them chasing after others? Not on her watch! Well, no, she didn't wear a watch, but that was what the humans would say. No matter! If she was near, there was no way she would let someone be harmed if she could help. The flame burned from her gem, and a wheel emerged from within the embers as she leapt. She was a large wolf, but he was a small human; jumping over his head was not difficult.

And then the reflector came smashing down on the gem monster. It stumbled away, dazed and trying to recollect itself while she stood in its path and growled, tail swirling.
