[Something is not right. This is not right. Whatever he is doing to her, Garuda can sense that this is a danger to her. To Benedikta. The memories are forced to come to a halt, and she lets out a blood-curdling scream that rends the clouds overhead and the wind around them. Something hot buzzes under her feathers while something cold brushes over them, like she's trapped between the two, and there is a very stark and sudden drain on her aether, whatever this magic it is that he is using against her is drawing upon it now rather than battling it.
She tries to wrench her claw free, but it somehow keeps its hold on her just long enough that it sends Garuda into a panic. She flails and kicks, screams and beats her wings as they tumble through the air, down towards the mass of water below. She shakes him, spins him, slams him into her other claw until finally, she is able to free herself from those invisible chains that bound her to him.
Garuda feels weakened, and for a moment, it is Benedikta in control, the harpy's eyes flickering blue as the Dominant somewhere inside regains her consciousness long enough to steer her around before she can make the mistake of continuing to engage. Survive—that is what she must do now. It takes only a moment before the malevolent yellow comes back to her gaze, and as she flings Gale towards the sea down below with all of her might, she turns around and flies off. She flies as far away from him as possible, as fast as her wings can take her in this state. She will need to recuperate, so back to the sanctuary of Eltrut's trees it is.
And hopefully that gryphon will be there to catch him before he takes the plunge into the ocean...]
