The Unraveling - It Creeps

He was able to tear one of the tendrils free much to his own dislike of harming the creature that had only been fighting in self defense. Maybe it would burrow away, maybe it would retreat to the hole it had come from, and the other wolves would leave it alone. His ears flattened in his own dismay. He was a soldier, here to protect the weak and innocent and here he was trying to destroy a creation of Kiska that had not hurt anyone until it was harmed. All creatures deserved the same courtesy right? Atreyu was launching at it with him as was Vayne. Good maybe enough trauma to it's face would cause it to retreat.

Then there was a moment that time stood still. A glimpse of brown and rosette as the creature lurched and snatched Vayne in it's maw. The sound sickening. He was Powerless to help but a glance to Oath and then Atreyu. A command shouted as fire burst in his mind's eye. Screams in his ears. Memories becoming reality again. "Run! I'll kill them and find you!" Those very words he had yelled at his Morningstars the dreadful night. Then there was a feral snarl. His body leaping for the worm, jaws clamping into it's cheek, wrenching, ripping and tearing anything he could get a hold of. A beast set forth that only Oath had seen before. He was a monster himself, child of Cudros. A demigod of death in his own right. He had a promise to keep in his own mind and he would. He would make it out of this personal inferno and find them. They knew the stories of the shrines of another land. He would find it and them. Judila would survive!
