Without resistance, Zagreus is grabbed in one of Kolokifi's many hands - a hand that wraps around him, keeping on a tight hold. It will be too late for Thanatos to grab him.
Usagi, accepting Nypsia's blessing, will be able to understand that with the power of her Moon Stick, she will be able to send threads of Night out to grab at Kolokifi.
The weather shifts between Jingyi and Emporio's meddling; the sun's rays dim in the air where the fog manifests and spreads, a rain washing the battlefield to at least keep the heat that radiates from Kolokifi's body eased. Nypsia's sky manages to slip in with the fog as well, and the combined efforts do keep the reach of the Sun's rays from extending too far...
...but Thanatos seems keen to follow where Zagreus goes, and Emporio with Thanatos.'Merios! Herios!' Kolokifi sings with relief, and a hand grabs for him too, while another goes for Emporio. All attention seems to focus on these few, no new arms and tendrils appear or care for the rest of the area. The God isn't fooled by the fake Thanatos, and doesn't seem bothered by Trunks's lingering with her tight grip on the three.
The grip is difficult to even shift out from once inside, not without intense concentration. It is burning to their skin, this intense life, this passion of Summer, but it also dies down some - especially as Leia uses her calming, for what amount - for how long - it can help.
It is chaotic indeed, and even an already unstable God can barely hear all that is being said, but in that moment-
'Chaos would let misery fall on us! As a lesson, as judgment! But I will not - I will keep us all safe, don't you see? I WILL...'
Kolokifi brightens, and an intense burning occurs, but a 'guh!' echoes from her, her head tilting back as something bulges from her midsection. She seems paused again, as odd cracks and dark shimmering dances around her body. Down at the temple, pieces of its roof, parts of the wild growth still tangling around the lower levels start to detach... and float?
There is an odd sensation in the air. For those keen with understanding their surroundings and its energies, it's as if sections of reality are being torn at. But it's not too strong yet - and it will ease after a few seconds.
For now, there has been an opportunity given for Ministry workers to fire equaliser shots at Kolokifi's arms, near the wrists, which will weaken her hold on the three, and make it easier to pull them away, or for Thanatos to shift. There is a cry that echoes out, and the rain washes even harder as a result over everyone, making it difficult to see.
