Kyanah crouch low to the ground, her head dipped, her eyes closed. A soft rumble was felt in her feet so she put one hand on the ground to see if she could tell more about it with the more sensitive parts of her palm. The rhythmic pattern was familiar, almost like a horses hooves pounding on the earth, but bigger much bigger. Her head snapped up as she heard the faint thudding slowly growing louder as the creature neared her. Time was of the essence now and she had to act fast or her opportunity would cease to exist. She leaped high into the trees above her, jumping from the lower branches to gain a higher perch. This beast was huge, she didn't really need to worry about getting too high above it, she had to worry more about being too low and it crushing her. As she neared the smaller branches at the top of the trees she saw it, a large horse-like being with a ghost white mask. It was still a ways off, not yet reaching the edge of the trees a few yards away. She hid among the leaves so that it wouldn't see her, or she hoped it wouldn't. The large creature stopped suddenly at the very edge of the forest having caught her scent, "Great," she muttered angrily to herself and charged forward, springing from tree to tree. The beast stood waiting for her, breathing heavily from its run, drool dripping from an angry mouth. Kyanah lunged, finally reaching the edge of the trees herself, her form flying through the air above the great monster hoping to defeat it in a single strike. She was halted mid-air, however, as the beast reared back and kicked her square in the chest causing her to fly back into the trees heavily wounded. The young woman groaned as she hit a large trunk and slid to a stop on one of the tree's larger branches. Barely conscious she saw another form arrive, a familiar one this time. "Captain," she whispered as she fell into the darkness of unconsciousness.
