Khannie nods, trying to keep a lid on her impulse to panic and run. "Yeah, that was it."
She knows this fear is irrational.
Whatever this thing is, it's gotta be using some sorta fear charm to to make her afraid. But even knowing that isn't helping shove down the desire to just turn on her hooves and bolt. Last time around she had managed to pick up those lenses before the... thing... showed up and she ran for it.
And speaking of the thing?
It comes straight through the wall.
Like darkness oozing between the bricks, the monster pours out. But it isn't some slimy, tarry thing. It looks like someone took a constellation and shattered it. It's all sharp edges and jagged lines grinding and scraping against each other, motes of light drifting it in refracted into ten thousand impossible and terrifying alien vistas.
As soon as the thing appears it reaches out and attempts to steal from our heroes.
A thought.
A memory.
A hope.
A dream.

Shit. Hiep was expecting something bad to be hiding here, but not this. Ironic, too, given who she is. But appropriate, given where they are. Now she feels a memory of an old lover corroding. One she would very much like to keep.
"We need to take this thing down quickly," she says, as if she was a hardened warrior rather than a janitor.
Skye doesn't even speak. Khannie and Hiep will get to see her burst into a riot of colors, all the colors of the aurora, subtly pulsing with a deep red heartbeat beneath. Her feet spark gold, and suddenly she's all but flying towards the creature spear-first, and a wreath of the same golden energy swims around the tip of her spear; she fully intends to stab this thing to death.
And the thing is, she has enough experience with the Uncreated and the Wyld that she very likely can. She'll attempt to stab it in whatever central star seems brightest; that's likely to be the core of its being, and if it isn't then it'll be important somehow.
She's protecting herself from the corrosive memory effect - a skill she perfected during her trek through the chaos outside reality - but she knows the others aren't so safe, and is acting as quickly as possible to try and dismantle the danger.
