Quiggles was speaking again. And what he said...well. Unfortunately, no real basilisk would be present. She supposed that was all for the best since the giant snakes kind of....killed people, and they were trying not to kill people, just...drive the agromentulas back into the forest. Eden also greatly appreciated how they weren't trying to necessarily KILL the spiders.

She may have wanted them to DIE a few hours ago when they SLAUGHTERED THE MANDRAKES...but now, she was thinking more clearly.

And she nodded at Professor Quigley's words, and stepped forward.

I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE---

"I volunteer--to help the spread the charm." She said loud enough for Quiggles to hear. She also...had finally let go of Gabriel Banner's hand.

She might as well be volunteering as tribute, though. Into the SLAUGHTER? She hoped not.
