Chapter 4 - Back to the present-I’m going to die and I’m hearing voices.

Now to sum up my present situation, I'm stuck between two different MajiMonsters that are about to duke it out and I have no idea what to do right now.

Ideally I should probably run to the side and let these two deal with each other. However, moose tend to become even more aggressive when startled, meaning that if I run there is a chance of that thing chasing after me and smashing/burning me into ash and paste. Alternatively I could slowly inch towards the tree and sneak around it but both of the MajiMonsters will probably take the offensive the moment I sneak around that tree based on which direction I sneak towards. The worst case scenario is that I wait until these MajiMonsters charge into each other and jump away at the last second, hoping that their focus is drawn to each other and not me; but the fallout of their attacks hitting each other might end up hitting me in the process. In essence, I am now up the creek without a paddle and there's a hole in the boat.

"Well you appear to be in a bad spot, want some help getting out of it?". I perked up my ears at the feminine ethereal voice wondering if I was just going crazy until I heard it again. "Is this one another dud? Hey, if you can hear me, blink twice." Figuring there was nothing to lose I blinked twice. "Oh dear, it appears I can't just sit back and let you die to the dragons now can I? Listen closely and do exactly as I say, agreed?" I was about to respond but the words escaped me at that moment, so I opted to nod instead. "Good,slowly walk backwards until your back touches that tree you were just hanging from earlier", doing as the voice instructed I slowly walked back, snow crunching with each step until I felt the cold bark against my fingertips. As I stepped back the Glacielk and the moose-like monster locked eyes. I could feel the tension between the two, and not in a metaphorical sense. The left side of my body started to feel uncomfortably warm while the right side of my body started to feel colder. Whatever was going on between these two monsters, I could physically see and feel the effects of their innate magical abilities.

"OK girlie, beneath your feet should be a rune carved into a stone. Do you see it?", using my foot I moved away the snow until I saw a rock with a strange carving about a step away. "Unfortunately, there's not enough aether powering that rune, and from the looks of it you barely have enough to power it. We're gonna have to do something...drastic". Well that's a sudden revelation I'll need to ask about later, but I did not like the sound of this "drastic" action. "What's gonna happen next is that those dragons are going to charge into each other. Their antlers will be brimming with aether, er, magical energy. When the energies collide, it will most likely cause a great explosion that will bring thunder, lightning and wanton destruction. At the exact moment they collide however, an ample amount of aether will be released and light up the rune beneath your feet", I was going to object until she stated,"You're gonna have to stomp on it as hard as you can at that moment or you're gonna be an ash stain in the snow, so get ready because they're about to charge".
