Laced with Proper Planning

Nana, her confusion evident, turned to Ty. "What do you have planned?" she asked, her tone laced with curiosity. "I could just blow him up."

Ty quickly dismissed her suggestion, shaking his skeletal hand in front of his face. "That will just cause unnecessary noise and might attract more creatures," he cautioned, his voice firm.

Before they could further strategize, the rock creature, now fully formed and towering above them, lunged towards them with surprising speed. Its massive fist aimed directly where they stood. Reacting with swift precision, Ty grabbed Nana by the waist and dove out of the way. The creature's fist slammed into the ground with a thunderous impact, sending tremors through the earth and leaving a deep imprint where they had just been.
