Traveling to Yael this time was more than a simple exploration task, no the Oban army had a keen interest in a rumor. The rumor was something Nuri was unable to prove or deny the last time he was here, mostly because he wasn't even aware of it until he got back on the ship to Oba. It was a quick conversation, hushed between the few soliders he tasked to search for more Limbara.
"Did you hear....they claim there's a creature that will light the land on fire..."
"Impossible, they probably just said it to scare you..."
"No, I heard it in multiple cities...a mountain creature that breaths fire and lives in the caves below the surface..."
Naturally, the rumors spread, and grew more wild, as soon as the hit the mainland. Eventually, his superiors grew curious enough to step in and ask him to lead a quick campaign to the island.
At least they understood his reluctance because of his children on the way.
Now, as he moved through the lands toward the cave, Nuri just wanted to get the trip over as soon as he could. It was a few days of travel between each settlement, and then they were on their own through the land close to the mountains. They already passed (quite quickly) through each Yaeli area. Now that the natives no longer feared the mainlanders, they were quick to turn them away with anger and frustration. Nuri wondered if they'd ever be accepted or move toward some sort of arrangement or peace.
Suddenly, a rustling caught his attention. Even when his mind wandered, he was quick to hone in on the sound of creatures. Years of training helped him make it that far. He paused, and held up a hand for his team to do the same. One of the men looked around, before walking close.
"We're being surrounded...circle around back-to-back and prepare for an ambush."
"Yaeli?"
"No..." Nuri responded, eyes narrowing as he caught the sound of a low rowl, "...felines...most likely hunters...run them off, do not strike to kill. We don't need to anger the natives any more than we already have."
As his men fell back, Nuri had a feeling he'd be taking the brunt of things thanks to the noise before him. And he wasn't wrong. All at once, a bunch of creatures jumped out of the bushes on the small group of explorers. A few of the soliders gasped, but immediately began to strike out with their whips and shout loudly for the creatures to back off. Nuri, faced with three, took a moment to study them as they prowled close.
They were clawed, and had a wild look in their eyes. Immediately, he dismissed the idea of taming a few to take back; they seemed as if they wouldn't really settle well and would more likely cause some sort of animal overrun with Oba's local fauna. Their teeth alone were quite threatening that he didn't want to get near them, and so he pulled out his whip and prepared to run them off as well.
The three he faced were waist high, and after glancing to the side he noticed all seemed to be about that size. So he wasn't really sure which was male or female, but the thought wasn't a priority. For the first of the three moved to attack.
Nuri snapped his whip to the right, the creature dodging and hissing. The other two seemed to think ganging up on him would help, but he was quick with his whip and held his line. Naraka didn't make this trip, but behind him a radaku was stepping up and snapping its tail as well. They made a racket, and a few of the creatures backed off in confusion. The three, however, just hissed and spit and snapped at him again and again.
As some backed off and even ran away (a few got too closed to whips and had some welts to take home), some of the other fighters joined his side to take on a one of the three.
"Do we know what these guys are?" Nuri grounded out, trusting his companions to know more than him in this case.
"I think they are called Wirenth...nasty creatures even the locals make sure to avoid..."
Nuri understood, as even with them running the creatures off, they hissed and spit back at him again and again. He couldn't imagine what might have happened if he didn't have his allies and his whip. When the hissing was finally gone, the men and women let out rough and exhausted laughs.
"Maybe we should move to some open space..." He suggested, and everyone was all too willing to agree and get away from where they were.
