The red eyed Tabitha held the ceremonial crimson dagger, its edge still wet with red water. The eldritch runes on the thing's sides began glowing a tad more brightly. Her eyes lit up, noting the increase in intensity. Just a tad longer. The time approached.
A pleased smile on her lips, she looked to the strung up Water Nymph hanging from the silver cross. She clenched the dagger anxiously, eager for the time to finally arrive. When the glow of the runes reached its apex, the time would come.
She shifted her ruby eyes away from the Water Nymph to the ongoing battle. Her brown eyed self leapt about, carving gashes into the Red Water Behemoth, giving a rather one sided fight to the beast. Sure, the creature still barred the pan wielding girl from reaching the sacrifice, but she could see how the fight was going. Like her other self, she too possessed Curiosity, and it told her that the behemoth would lose. She cared not though.
Lose or not, the behemoth served its purpose just fine. Her brown eyed self would not make it before the time came. She glanced back at dagger in her hand, the light from its arcane symbols reaching a crescendo.
The other her swung the pan down, bashing the head of the fallen behemoth. The fight reached its end, the colossal thing's body melting away. It didn't matter though. The time had come for the red eyed Tabitha to fulfill her purpose.
