Suddenly, the air around them grew still- as if the cave was holding its breath in anticipation. The shadows around them deepened, stretching across the ceiling and the walls, before they shifted beneath their feet and the trembling started. The very essence of the cave started to shift- the ground beneath them rippling, cracks splintering in all directions. A cloud of dust consumed the space, forcing Nimue back against the wall.
A massive, ominous, writhing creature emerged from the widest hole, standing tall before them and pulsating in rhythmic movements. There’s a single, bulbous eye glaring at them with clear intentions. This thing was a predator.
A chill rolled down Nimue’s spine, her pelt bristling out of reflex, as she curled her lips and bared her fangs at the beast. Ludo, Mortis, and Deluge were shifting beside her, Mortis asking if they should take the offense or defense. Stupid question. There was no way out of this cavern, and if they didn’t fight the beast, it would eat them- plain and simple. Their only option was to fight.
Deluge is the first to race forward, and Nimue lunges after her, driven by instinct and adrenaline. While the woman tries to gore the beast with her antlers, Nimue approaches it from behind. Kicking off her hind legs, she launched herself onto the creature, using her sharp claws to anchor herself against its slimy, pulsating body. She’d try to bite into it next, to rip a chunk out of its back.
