Veronas's escape leaves me wondering more about the world - where is she located? Where will she find the rest of the guild members, and what path of destruction will she carve to get to them? The focus on the mouth-guard and it's unconventional use helped ensure the story stayed adherent to the theme.
As noted, paragraph breaks would have helped this story flow better. It felt a bit dense to read in its current state.
Thanks for sharing this for the writing jam!
