These dam beavers

Dalila stood in a face off with the cluster of beavers that blocked her path to the bridge that would take her across to the island, eyeing them uncertainly. She didn't know how much damage a beaver could really do, but considering they could bite their way through a tree she felt like the chances were pretty high that they could do some pretty bad damage if they put their minds to it. If she was feeling better than she currently was perhaps she'd feel more confident about going up against them or even just running past them to get to the bridge, but her legs were already slightly trembling from the walking she had done that day and the current fatigued state of her body. This was a terrible time for her to be in any kind of trouble on her own and she was half tempted to just go find somewhere to hole up for the night since these glowing strangeness only seemed to happen at night and she could probably get back onto the island in the morning.

However, just as that thought crossed her mind, she glanced past the line of beavers and saw the distinctive form of Chimera creeping up behind them. She watched as he pinned one of them by its tail and swiftly killed it with a bite to its neck, the glow it previously held quickly dissipating as it fell dead to the ground. Shockingly the other beavers didn't seem to care or notice and still had their glowing eyes fixed on her. The world around them seemed to suddenly get brighter as a swarm of fireflies filled the air around them, making her look around with worried eyes. She looked to Chimera again as he waved her over with his paw and she gave him a little nod, eyeing the beavers warily as she started to try to move around them to get to where the King was standing.

The beavers shifted and shuffled as she moved to remain facing her, making a creeped out chill run through her. She hated the cold stare they had as they watched her walk around them while giving them a wide gap. When she passed by the one closest to her as she passed by the end of the line the beaver suddenly moved out of line and lunged toward her with a snap of its long, yellowed teeth and she gasped jumping out of the way and causing herself to stumble as her legs failed to keep her upright and she ended up falling into Chimera in the process. Luckily the beaver didn't pursue her other than that quick snap, but it did send a rush of adrenaline hit her system and made her heart pound, making her head spin as she leaned into Chimera's side for a moment to right herself.
