[h2][color=cyan]Leith Calder[/color] [i]Lyn's Hunt[/i][/h2]

Leith frowned at the man's surprise at what he said. The man was crazy to think that the forest itself wanted death. It just seemed a way to justify killing. The man looked like he had more to say, but he stopped suddenly as he saw something behind Leith and dispersed into a swarm of bugs. Leith turned around just in time to see Summer struck by the Naga and sent flying into a tree before falling still on the ground.

[color=cyan]"No..."[/color] Leith whispered as he looked at Summer slumped on the ground. All he could do was hope that she was alive.  With a lot of effort he peeled his eyes off of Summer and turned towards the Naga. He frowned at the sight of the arrow wound on the Naga. That looked like it should have been fatal, but the Naga was still upright, barely. Before he knew it, the Naga was lunging at him. Leith took a step back in surprise and stumbled over his feet. He would have fallen to the ground, but the Naga caught a hold of him. She pinned his arms to his sides and started wrapping her tail around his legs. 

Leith knew he needed to act quickly if he wanted to keep his legs intact. Already, the pressure around his legs were increasing quickly and becoming painful. He couldn't move his arms enough to get a swing at the Naga with the axe he got from the Herbamancer. Seraphim Sword was in its trinket-like size, so he couldn't do anything about that. 

Or could he? Leith reached into his pocket and grabbed his trinket-sized sword. He then carefully moved the sword around so the the tip was facing away from his body, and towards the Naga. Leith enlarged the sword and the sound of ripping cloth was heard as it tore through his pocket towards the Naga. After he had enlarged the sword, his leg broke. Blinding pain filled his mind as he screamed in pain.

Darius stared at the man in surprise as he screamed at him madly. This man was insane. He idolized the Demonmacner to the point of what looked like worship. In any other scenario, Darius would have left this man to die, but he was not alone, so he could not say that this man got away from them an got carried away by the Ridge Hounds. Which he still had to deal with. These ones were not jumping in stupidly like the others were. It looked like they were trying to tire him out by jumping in and out of reach. If he continued to fight them with swipes of his sword he would indeed tire out. 

He needed a new approach. Sound does disorient them, but doing multiple loud pops were tiring him out. What he needed to do was to make a single massive pop. Darius took in a few deep breaths to ready himself, and start gathering air in a single point as he made moves against the hounds to prevent them from thinking he was tired out. It took him a few moments to gather enough air. When had enough, he took a deep breath 

[color=#C19A6B]”COVER YOUR EARS!"[/color] he bellowed to the others before he detonated the collected air. It was massive. Enough to possibly disorient anyone not aware of the incoming explosion. After that, Darius fell to a knee. That had taken a lot out of him. Hopefully, it had been enough to disorient the hounds enough to allow everyone else to clean up.
