�Whoever did this to us must not know us very well.�
Using his unmatched physical power, he flexes his muscles and easily snaps the vines binding him. He looks around for any sign of his captor and then quickly crawls over to his friends. He frees them and slaps them around a bit to revive them.
�Hey guys, are ya�ll okay?�
Jasmine grabs her head.
�Fine�side splitting headache, but fine.�
Tina, as you can imagine, is severely pissed off.
�I can�t wait till I find the little fucker that did this.�
She pounds her fist into her palm and a spark ignites between them.
Blasto looks around him for any sign of their captor.
�Where is the bloody shmuck? Can�t wait to show him what happens when you play with fire.�
His eyes glow bright red and his sword emits a red aura.
Phaedra suddenly speaks up.
�Quite! Blasto put that away, I think I hear somebody.�
Feral puts his ear to the ground for a few seconds and quickly raises up.
�There�s definitely someone getting closer. Okay, everyone get back the way you were and drape those vines over you. Play dead and see if we can learn anything. If he tries anything�well, react accordingly.�
They resume their positions and wait.
Feral is the last to lie back down. He turns his face towards the sound of footsteps and grabs his sword at the handle and holds it behind him. Through his partially closed eyes, Feral finally lays eyes on his abductor. It isn�t a he, or even a she, but an IT! What he sees is a giant winged demon moving through the forest as swiftly as a cat! As the demon nears closer, he sees more detail. What it looks like is the demon has mutated into the surroundings of the forest. Having done this means it has the power of the forest itself. He nears closer and closer to Feral.
�Well, it looks like its time my pretties. You won�t be getting out of here alive!�
A vine emerges from the demon�s hand and inches towards Feral. As quick as a flash, Feral brings his sword around and slices the vine off of the demon�s hand and rises to his feet.
�Looks like you underestimated us freak!�
Everybody gets up and surround the demon.
�Oh, on the contrary travelers, I expected this.�
The forest slowly fades away and reveals a barren wasteland.
�There, a better place for a fight, wouldn�t you say�Feral?�
�WHAT? How do you know me? Who are you?�
�I know not only you, but all of your fellow travelers as well: Jasmine, Tina, Blasto, and Phaedra. And to answer your second question, I am Calgiron, the great wind demon! I have watched you all for a while now. Whenever you felt a breeze brush against you, it was me. I�ve been studying you and waiting for a chance to strike you down. For no other reason than that I have killed many warriors who thought they were all that. You all seem to think you are unbeatable. I will prove you wrong like I have proved so many others!
Feral gathers his friends around him. He looks sideways at Blasto and whispers to him.
�Hey, I�m gonna distract him. I want you to sneak around and take his head off.�
Blasto starts inching to his left while Feral talks.
�Hey, Calgiron, you�ve got us all wrong my man! We don�t think we�re unbeatable do we?�
He looks at his friends behind him.
�We damn well know it!�
Blasto lunges towards the head of Calgiron, but the demon ducks and punches Blasto square in the stomach as Blasto flies over him. He lands at the feet of Feral with a thud.
�Motherfucker! That guy�s strong!�
Feral helps Blasto to his feet.
�You okay?�
�Only my pride.�
Jasmine looks over at Blasto.
�Know you know how I felt.�
Tina attempts to run head on towards Calgiron.
�Why you��
�TINA! STOP! � Feral screams.
Tina stops and eyes Feral down.
��What?�
�We have to rethink our strategy for this. Okay, You and Phaedra stay here and get ready on my signal to unload with spells. Jasmine, circle around Calgiron to his back. Use as much stealth as you can. Blasto, me and you will go head on against him. While we have him pre-occupied, Jasmine will make her move. Tina and Phaedra, you guys are the trump card. Once we�ve weakened him, finish him off.�
Feral and Blasto plant their feet in the ground and rush head first towards Calgiron.
�Getting started are we?�
Calgiron braces himself as Jasmine seemingly vanishes.
