Careful steps and curious eyes propelled her along, keeping half of her mind to the slender path she walked, the other to the rushing waters to her side. She was growing... comfortable in this place. Already had she visited the Shrine, and after fumbling around after glowing fragments, she wished to explore more of her....
Er. Surroundings.
Soothed by the slowly dimming sound of rushing water, enjoying how it turned flat and smooth the further she walked from the Shrine, it took her a surprisingly long time before she began to hear something... else.
Eyes narrowed, she felt her upper lip curl as she spotted a... creature meandering towards her. It looked ready to crumble by a good breath. Taking a few more steps, she intended to simply put distance between them. The creature, however, clinking away at her as it was, did not seem to support her idea.
"Aren't you a bother," she breathed, turning fully to face the creature. Snarling, she flexed her fists and skirted the creature to the side. Bringing herself a tad bit too close to the water in the process, she still managed to land a punch to the creature's round side. The body was more solid than she'd given it credit for, and before she could remove herself from it's range, a wobbly leg slammed her in the upper thigh and sent her stumbling back a few extra steps...
Snarling, she was at least grateful it hadn't pushed her into the water.

Walking along the path, Laurus lost herself in the sensations around her -- the rushing water, distant steps, and... an uneven clicking? As she continued forward, the distant steps sounded closer, revealing a shadowy figure much like herself, right down to the glowing blue core. The steps stopped for a moment, then stumbled. How strange.
The creature that tottered over was stranger yet. So that was the source of the arrhythmic clicks. When it reached out its unsteady arms, she hesitated despite seeing its claws. The creature seemed so weak it felt wrong to push it away.
She needn't have worried. There was nothing weak about the claws raking their way down one of her legs. She gasped, surprised and abruptly furious.
She lashed out in retaliation, but the creature wobbled to the side with surprising haste for such a feeble appearance. Must be all those legs. She scowled as her kick merely glanced off her attacker's round body. "What is this... thing? Creature?" she asked the other, wary eyes watching for any further attacks.

Attention focused on the monster before her, Viae was startled by its sudden shift of movements. Moving... away from her? She straightened, wondering if it was finally leaving her alone--even if she was seething from the bruise she knew was forming on her thigh. Damn thing, bumbling around... why was it even here--
Aha.
Her eyes lit on the figure of another, widening as comprehension of the situation took over. The creature wasn't retreating, it was just seeing another target.
Viae felt herself vibrating in a growl at this offense.
As she moved back in, the other figure--female, by voice; like her, by the blue light in her chest--spoke. Viae could only give a snort at first. Her clawed hand dug into one of the creature's legs, pulling it sharply back and up from it's body. Not enough force to tare it away, but enough to clearly piss it off as the creature rounded its claws back on her. Using one of her arms to block the hit from her face, she winced as it ripped into the skin of her forearm. "I have no idea. I just came upon it."
Ducking under another swipe of it's claws, she backed up, gaze flickering from the other grey figure and the creature. "I would prefer it is dead soon. I am not opposed to assistance in this."

When the creature swung towards Laurus again, she was quick to dodge, but unfortunately, the ambient mist prevented her from noticing a depression in the path until she tripped. Falling down made her an easy target for the creeper's claws, and it capitalized on its newfound advantage, scratching up the already injured leg some more.
She tried to strike back, but to no avail. Its bulbous body was much too far away, even with her arm stretched nearly to breaking point. At least she managed to draw back out of range before it inflicted more harm than it had the first time.
Seeing her attacker dead suddenly seemed like an excellent proposal. She gave the other female a swift, resolute nod. "Likewise," she replied between teeth gritted more in frustration than in pain. For something that couldn't even stand up properly, the creature certainly packed plenty of strength in its wobbly limbs. A low growl escaped her as she stood. Putting weight on her injured leg pained her, but she couldn't let that slow her down. She wasn't going to be a liability for her new acquaintance if she could help it.

Her new-found "partner" hadn't been the only one tripped up by the terrain. Viae had lunged in when the other female went down, already seeing how this was going to turn out. Yet before her limbs could make contact with the beast, it kicked her square in the chest, knocking the wind from her body and shoving her hard into the rocks. Her head slammed into the surface, rattling her skull and jumbling her thought process for a moment. Carefully rising to her feet, she was none too surprised to find herself hissing long, low, and hard at the creature.
"This thing is going to be scrap metal." Not that she fully understood what scrap metal was, or what it was for, but her intent was at least clear. She was pissed, she wanted it dismantled, and she and the other girl could go celebrate or something after. She didn't care. Just so long as it was down.

Unfortunately, Laurus's determination to be useful was not the only factor in play here. The shambling creeper wasn't content with kicking one female. A spindly leg shot out, slashing at her uninjured knee. If that weren't bad enough, the force of the kick knocked her off her feet once more.
She rolled so close to the edge -- to the immeasurable depths that lay beyond the edge -- that it was a relief to be cutting her hands to ribbons on the jagged rocks preventing her fall.
Throwing caution to the wind in her rage, she lunged and tried grabbing at the leg, heedless of the claws. Alas, the gamble didn't pay off; she caught only air. Her breath hissed between clenched teeth. If she could only get a grip on it, she'd so bash it against the rocks a few extra times for its earlier affronts. But she had to catch it first.
Scrap metal? Laurus opened her mouth to ask what it was, then shut it again. Why be pedantic? She understood the other's meaning well enough. "I'm with you. The sooner, the better." It would really help if she could actually hit the thing, though. She bit back another growl of frustration.
Focus, Laurus, focus. Getting angry wouldn't help them give the creature the pummeling it so richly deserved. She watched its erratic progress around them, trying to predict its next move. (Beyond the obvious, i.e., injuring the two females some more. Really, didn't this thing have anything better to do than to pick on them?)

There was at least one bonus to having a companion in the fray. They could serve as a lovely distraction.
Viae moved silently as she could, ducking down near the water's edge while the bumbling creature focused its attention on the other girl for the moment. A smile--bitter, humorless--graced her features as she took in the other's frustration. Good. They were on the same page. Perhaps they could focus their joint anger on something more productive than ripping themselves up on the rocks and metal.
Eyes narrowing to see the other getting kicked again, the creature's focus allowed her the sliver of a chance. Ducking under the claws that slashed for her--only to receive further injuries by slicing up her upper arm on the rocks as she slid over them--her claws caught it's underbelly. The injury was... deeper than she thought her claws would cut, but clearly not deep enough. As she scrambled out from beneath it--how she avoided further injury, she wasn't sure--she actually managed to laugh.
"At least we can say it's not impenetrable." She'd been beginning to wonder...

Laurus watched in amazement and growing admiration as the other slid under their opponent's slashing claws to strike at its underbelly. "What good news for us," she replied, an edged smile curving her lips at the words.
Couldn't let the other female do all the heavy lifting here. She prowled toward the creeper, her steps silent. Their attacker's amblings had slowed down considerably thanks to its new wound. Watching its movements, she lunged forward to slash at where one of its many legs joined its body. She earned herself a few more scratches on the face and arm as the creature writhed in agony and lashed out blindly, but it was worth it for the chance to turn the tide.
"This feels better," she said of their successful attacks, ducking behind a large rocky outcropping as the creature clawed at her again. The scraping of claws was a potent reminder that they couldn't let down their guard just yet.

Getting under the creature was relatively easy. Getting back out? Not nearly as much.
Hissing out in pain as the creature managed to slash her back--frightfully close to one of her wings--and when she threw her claws out to try and gouge the damn thing's legs.... she missed. Missed. It'd skuttled away from where she crouched, and for that Viae let out another snarl of rage. "Why does the damn thing have to have brains?" Pushing herself up from the crouch, she darted away from its range, scrambling up onto a boulder to keep away for a moment.
Damn it! They'd managed to hurt it... but now what? How strong was this thing? Stronger than them? That thought brought a vile taste to her mouth. She could see how it staggered now and then, but she was equally aware of how her breaths were hasty, how her body ached. They were really going to have to up their game, up their luck, and fast.
"How are you fairing?" She hoped the other girl caught that. She could see her from where she stood, and gave her mental points. Duck for cover when needed. Good. Least she didn't seem to have to worry about a brainless partner.

Behind the sheltering rock, Laurus glared daggers at the insanity creeper. How did such a small, pathetic-looking creature manage to muster up so much energy? It certainly seemed to be more energetic than either her or the other blue-hearted female, what with all its jumping and clawing. "It could sure do with less brains -- and less energy," she noted, frustration seeping into her voice.
This was safe enough for now, but she couldn't hide here forever. It ran counter to every one of her barely remembered instincts, and the creature, the little bully, showed no signs of wanting to abandon its two vic-- opponents. (She simply refused to be a damsel in distress, and she believed, even on such short acquaintance, that her newfound partner would agree.)
Trying to time her attack for a lapse in the creature's attention, she leapt out from behind the rock with a kick aimed for its side. It was not nearly as inattentive as it seemed. The creature's kick landed faster and harder, alas, and its leg withdrew before winded Laurus could strike at it.
"Not great, you?" she replied as she retreated once again behind the cover of craggy rocks. Her voice shaded low and vehement as she added, "But we're not letting it win. Not after all this."
Kailey Koreco Well, that lasted for all of one turn. XD *stomps troll dice too*

"It could also do with a few less limbs," Viae agreed dryly, rubbing at her gouged upper arm with a wince. This was getting pathetic. Two against one, and they were floundering. At least neither of them seemed to be losing their battle spirit, she noted with a twinge of pride as her partner bolted towards the creature again.
Another unsuccessful hit, but the fact they were still working to kill it instead of running off with their tails between their legs... that served to impress her. Certainly gave her more drive to kill the blasted thing.
"I've been better." More than better. She ached all over, and was relatively sure this pain wasn't going to dissipate any time soon. But a nice start would be just ending this. Viae found herself laughing outright to the other's commentary, flashing a wicked grin her way as her tail lashed behind her. "You, I like. We are most certainly on the same page."
Flexing her wings, she kicked herself into the air, hovering for a split second... before dropping like a rock as she tucked her wings close to her body. She landed with a loud crack on top of the creature, noting with pleasure how she'd apparently managed to snap one of it's legs out from under it with the impact. Oh, sure, it managed to throw her off, and as she skidded against the rocks before righting herself on her feet, but she remained in a crouch, trying to keep the creature's attention on herself. Maybe give the other grey girl a good opening.

Too many limbs by far, Laurus thought, nodding to the other's words as she watch the creature weave about on its many clawed legs. "Let's fix that." Hopefully that would even the playing field a bit; at the very least, it was one less source of clawing and kicking.
"Meeting you is easily the best part of this fight," she answered with a laugh and grin to match. She grew silent as the other female launched herself toward their common enemy. The loud crack upon her landing was absolute music. When she identified a snapped leg as the reason for the crack, she pumped a fist in celebration.
The creature, made wary by the recent attack, favored its broken leg and focused on the crouching figure who had just attacked it. This left its defenses wide open on the side facing Laurus. She would definitely have to thank her comrade later. For now, she couldn't waste this opportunity.
She hurled herself toward the creature. It might not have noticed her approach, but it certainly felt her claws tear at another leg. Its other legs and claws closed in around her and battered hard before she could move entirely out of range, but that was expected, even largely ignored. The thrill of actually landing a hit kept her from dwelling on the pain.
"Two legs down." After a few more hits like these, the creature would go down for good. She couldn't wait.

Viae couldn't help herself. She grinned like a fool. The other girl had pointed out a rather fine bonus to their predicament. Encountering another of value. And this one was proving her worth in spades. Oh sure they'd both had a bumpy ride with this fight, but both at least understood basic tactics to try and prolong their own existence.
Seeing the other lung at the creature's unguarded back, snapping off more of its legs, had Viae letting out a whoop of triumph at her success. The creature was tottering, struggling to remain standing. Good. So long as it faded faster than they, she was pleased.
Before the creature could fully round on her companion, she managed to dart in and land a solid punch to the creature's face. Her claws gouged it, and she wondered if it was actually affected by the new marks over one of it's eyes. "This match is over," she sneered, ignoring the fresh marks that lashed her forearms.

Laurus did not think she was much of a smiler, usually, but her grin returned as she heard Viae's triumphant whoop. Company -- good company, specifically -- had its advantages. She let out a triumphant whoop of her own as she saw the other punch their adversary and leave gouges in its face.
The creature was writhing now, its limbs flailing indiscriminately in an attempt to keep its opponents from approaching. It would have been a decent defense against an attacker who wanted to avoid as much damage to herself as possible.
Unfortunately for the creature, this tactic was not going to work on Laurus. Taking some damage en route to the attack was inevitable, she realized now, and she'd rather be injured in the course of attacking than in the course of retreating.
Steadfastly ignoring the claws biting into her, she punched it in the face once more before its legs shoved her away altogether. She hadn't done nearly as much damage as she would have liked, but hopefully the blow kept it disoriented and slow. They were close to the end now.
