The Unraveling - Going Deeper
9 hours ago
The worm moves through the falling ice, a screech erupting from its four-fold lips. Beat and Coran continued their assault on the structures of the cave, weakening the walls and ceiling above. Loud pops and cracks reverberate in the ice. The worm thrashes, dragging its body across the ground while lashing out. Epimethius stabs a shard of ice against the worm's thick, icy skin. Cracks and fissures appear around the opening where the ice lodged in its side. Another similar wound opens as the worm runs itself into Damria's trap.
As Enyo acts as a crutch for her mate, all the worm sees is prey getting away. It crashes towards them, the duo narrowly escaping. In her wounded state, Medusa falls, a shard of ice slicing deep into her inner back right leg. One prey nearly offered herself to the worm, a distraction. In one clean motion, the icy beast closed its petal-like protrusions around Sedna, the icy spikes puncturing into her skin. Blood ran red and steaming from the cracks in the quadrant-split maw. Teeth moved like tiny fingers, piercing and pulling the wolf head first into its innumerous teeth. When it flung itself back open, the rump of the wolf still stuck out, kicking, or maybe just twitching as the worm continued to work Sedna's somewhat lifeless body into itself.
This opening gave the others a chance. A small pup charges at the beast, lunging for one of its petals, which it uses to bat her unceremoniously away. Ravana flies through the air, crashing into one of the cracked walls and ripping a large chunk of the flesh free from her right shoulder as the skin and fur get caught in a pinched crack during her downfall.
More ice spears crash into the worm, its movements become sloppy as more cracks appear on its surface. Dracun bites into the flesh, it crunching beneath his fang before giving slightly. The beast begins to ooze, the thick substance steaming as it hits the cracks in its icy skin. It drops the rest of its meal- the back legs and tail of the wolf that was once Sedna. The creature slams itself into shards of ice on the ceiling, perhaps in its own confusion, causing them to rain down on the remaining wolves. One spear falls and catches a deep line down Víðarr's outer front right leg.
Sedna is gone.
Enyo finds a pungent potion, which has been added to your inventory.np
