Isana woke to the sound of a high scream. She jumped to her feet from her sitting position against the tall trees of the forest. [i]What was that?[i] She peered around the area, scanning for movement. She turned to the on which she was leaning, rearing back and taking a quick dash at the trunk. She placed her boot on the bark, reaching up and seizing another branch. She barely felt the wood through her gloves, and heaved herself atop the branch. 

Isana quickly crouched on the branch and closed her eyes, focusing intently. She opened her eyes again to see the heavy blue tint of her vision when she increased it drastically. Her sentinel eyes scanned the forest, looking for the source of the scream. She pinned her eyes on a set of figures, maybe a half miles away. She focused even harder and the picture became even clearer. [i]Demon![/i] She could see the gnarled outline of the monster at the river bed, dragging what looked like a body. She forced her eyes to remember the target, and as she moved, her mind absently tracked its movements. When she returned her gaze to the area, she saw what looked to be another human, hiding from the demon. She surged her muscles and launched forward, climbing the treeways towards the river bank. The distance decreased steadily, and when she was nearly above the demon, she whipped her sword from the sheath on her back, and leaped down to strike the creature.
