Vivian Stone
So what's the plan?
Roshan Crescent
I need you to be the bait, and let lead it deeper into the foggy part of the forest.
Vivian Stone
And why am I always the bait?
Roshan Crescent
For one thing, your small, so dogging it won't be hard. Second, it's my plan, so you'll do as I say. Thirdly, your scent is sweeter so he'll follow you.
Vivian Stone
You know how I scent?😑
Roshan's voice went a beat too loud and the beast turned its head towards them. It charged straight at them.
Roshan Crescent
*grabs her and jumps back
The Skullcap crashed intot he tree, toppling it over, but didn't even seem scratched.
Vivian and Roshan shared a glance, then sprung into action. Vivian pulled on her mask and ran straight at the beast.
Vivian Stone
*uses the claws and scrapes it against the hind leg.
The leg was armoured, but the claws left a very visible mark. Skullcap were extremely careful with their armour as it took time to grow and strengthen. So naturally this was an offensive move.
Not wasting time, the beast ran at her, but Vivian was already zipping and zapping through trees at top speed. As Roshan had instructed, she led the beast to where there was more fog, basically where it had emerged from.
Vivian caught sight of Roshan, in front of her, swinging through trees, and grabbing vines, no doubt planjing something, but what was beyond her.
Skull...
*swats her with paw.
Vivian fell herself being thrown off balance, the way a human would swat a fly.
She landed and rolled right in front of a pine tree.
As she made to get up, she realised her left arm was numb, no doubt made weak by that blow. And the animal was charging right at her.
Vivian Stone
*pulls out sword,
Vivian was usually leading with her left hand, but her right wasn't that bad.
Determined, she got up and used the sword to cut through the bark of the tree as thebeast was yards from her.
It came crashing down, trapping the beast
Vivian Stone
*sighs in relief
But it was shortlived as the beast spit out green acid like smoke that turned the tree to dust.
It turned to her, mouth flaring with the green substance
Roshan Crescent
*lands next to her.
Roshan Crescent
*cuts a vine hanging from a tree.
Suddenly, a giant heavy cage, of branches, vines and logs, with an enormous bolder ontop, like a ribbon on a present, landed on the beast
Vivian Stone
You made that in thirty minutes?
Roshan Crescent
I'm a man of many talents
Vivian Stone
He'll turn it to dust in seconds
Roshan Crescent
Is that so?
Roshan stretched out his arm a nd focused. A dark force emerged from him and flew into the beasts mouth. It choked him, mixing with the green mist he was about to throw up. Gagged and feeling suffocated, he rolled over to his side, leaving his unarmoured belly exposed.
Roshan Crescent
*brings out a spear.
Roshan Crescent
Let's end this.
Vivian and Rishan made their way out of the dense fog.
Roshan Crescent
*notices her arm
Roshan Crescent
You got hurt.
Vivian Stone
It'll stop aching in an hour
Roshan Crescent
Idiot, can't even just stall without getting hurt
Roshan Crescent
Goodness knows how you were the best swordsman in your kingdom, when you can't even run from an overgrown dog without getting g hurt
Roshan Crescent
You are truly the worst mentee ive ever had the displeasure of meeting in my life
Roshan Crescent
I don't know why I got stuck with you
Vivian Stone
*emotionless face
Vivian Stone
Well sorry I'm not what you wanted
