Tirush hears the chattering, screeching swarm behind her, and she turns, seeing the cloud of bats. Thinking she can outrun them, she plummets into a dive, using her heavier bulk to go into a high-g swoop, but she doesn't take into account that these bats are supernaturally fast.

They catch up with her and swarm her, blocking her view, getting into her eyes and ears. She shakes her head, sputtering as they tiny creatures splat against her body and grab at her, and while they don't harm her, they succeed in distracting her, causing her to fail to pull up in time. She attempts to bank, but the malleable cloud of vermin spreads and precedes her, and so she flies straight into it.

The thicker swarm is too much. It literally hits her like a wave, pushing one of her wings back enough that it causes her to drop sharply.

She knows she doesn't have time to correct in the second it takes for her to fall to the ground, so she curses, tucks, and hopes for the best.

With an enormous crash she hits the ground, rolling through underbrush and trees alike, kicking up a fountain of wood and dirt in her wake. It is quite some time before she stops, albeit unwillingly.

"UUNNNGH!"

She crashes, upside down, against a giant redwood tree, splintering it but not breaking it. For several seconds her world reels as she regains her senses.

"Uunngh...c-raän vol ta BAAL M---"

Cursing, she stands, only to be swarmed again. With an angry yell she wraps her wings around her body and tucks into a ball as the swarm crashes against her.

''Damn this foolishness! Must breathe, before I try and drive them away...''
