"You've got to be kidding me," Slievenamon sighed. She had just dusted her umpteenth youma and found herself looking a little grey after charging headfirst into her fray with it. Still, it was another one for the book, so the page withdrew her little leather bound memo pad, leafed through the pages, and penned in a few notes with a doodle on a new sheet:
Owl Youma
Was cute in a gnarled, monstrous way
Liked to aim for the eyes
Proceed with caution if encountered again
Not as much of a threat as it is a hindrance
Slipping the pen back into the binding and then tucking the book into the interior pocket of her jacket, Slievenamon turned toward the sky to let out a sigh. It was a clear night and better situated for dozing off early after a nice cup of tea. Not spending her time creeping through the park to assuage her mind's thirsty desire to learn—a part of her that never seemed to be quenched.
When she turned on her heel and marched back into the thickets of the park, Slievenamon's interest was suddenly piqued. Ah, it seems I have company, she thought to herself, a little too cheerfully.
"Hey, if you're gonna attack me, just come on out!" she called out to them.

YoumaThe clear night was perfect for the youma to hunt in the park for mice, its preferred midnight snack. The owl youma had just started to dismantle its prey when it heard a call from the other side of the thicket. The beast was usually silent when on the wing. However, it had thought it was alone and had been devouring its meal with no regard to its environment. Lifting off the ground with the carcass of the mouse still in its talons, the bird let out a shrill cry from its beak as it spotted the intruder. It seems a human had entered its territory tonight.

Slievenamon grimaced.
Another one?
She was beginning to regret instigating the fight between herself and her second feathered opponent of the day. She had better ideas at that moment—in particular, taking herself up on that offer to head to bed early after a nice cup of oolong tea. Guess she'd have to put that behind her until she was through with this little confrontation.
"Ughhh...!"
She felt her eardrums ring at the shrill cry of the owl youma. Wincing, she gripped her shell flute in her hand with the sharp end pointed out and charged at the youma with the intent to stab it.

YoumaThe youma watched as the girl winced at its cry. It wanted nothing more than to finish its meal undisturbed. It couldn't help trying to scare her away. The page wasn't going anywhere, it became clear, as the owl youma was rushed with the point of some slight weapon. The attack caused it to drop the food it was holding to defend itself and it wasn't pleased that its meal would be wasted. It was just going to have to take some flesh from the page as a replacement. The beast let out another cry and swooped at the target's head hoping to ward her off for a moment so it could prepare a better hunting tactic.

Slievenamon was incredibly tempted to take a breath and blow into her shell flute to challenge the loudness of the owl youma. It's annoying cry was beginning to get to her. She, in turn, squawked when it made a dive for her; just barely skidding out of the way.
Realizing she didn't have the advantage of the skies like it did, Slievenamon glanced at her shell flute and considered giving it a good throw. Unfortunately, she recalled her experience while in Negaspace with the giant scorpion youma and thought otherwise. Disarming herself for the sake of an attack wasn't something she was willing to do a second time. Instead, she scooped up a rock at her heel and pelted it at the monstrous avian.

YoumaThe rock hit the youma in its open maw. A chip could be seen in its lower beak where a piece had broken away. The beast was visibly angry now even if the loss of the lower point on its beak didn't actually cause pain. Its dark wings flapped mightily as it maneuvered high into the air. It opened its powerful talons. The youma was diving for the page's eyes. Luckly, the girl had taken notes the last time she had seen an attack like this.

Slievenamon's eyes narrowed. Come its fell swoop, she quickly ducked, and then scuttled out of the way before the youma had a chance at striking talons at her back. She was slowly beginning to get angry.
Never mind now, this darn thing wasn't cute. In the girl's mind now, the damn thing was a menace.
However, she saw the advantage of having thrown a rock and decided to go for another. This one slightly bigger than the last, Slievenamon launched it at the owl youma with hopes it would strike again. It wasn't the most brilliant way to bring down the monster, but it was the only thing she had at the moment.

YoumaThe second rock hit the youma in the back of the head before it had time to turn around after its attack. The creature bristled its feathers where it was struck and a hefty lump could be seen beginning to form. The flying youma was now beginning to behave rather oddly. It flapped its wings unevenly and it didn't seem to know what to do with its flailing talons. Its flight was erratic. It seemed like it was dazed and confused as a likely result of being hit from behind. Perhaps it even had a concussion. Now was the best time to take it out while the owl youma was unable to process its surroundings.

Slievenamon clutched her shell flute tight in both hands. There was really only one way to finish this and, of course, she had to do it with her trusted weapon. Once again, as she had tried to stab at the owl youma before, the page took a running start at the monster. Then, with all of the strength in both of her arms, she stabbed at the air where she saw the darn thing flapping about trying to keep to the air.

YoumaThe youma was now too disoriented to do anything to prevent the blow from coming at it with full force. The weapon hit the youma and penetrated through its feathered body. Bloody feathers covered the page's hands. The creature crumbled to dust as soon as the flute was removed. The beast would haunt the mice no more tonight.
