Darius and Dante’s question was answered by Menzai who appeared to be even more serious than when he scolded them. To think the guy had levels to his seriousness. Judging by his decision to pursue it, it was obvious that the creature he referred to as a “roc” was capable of threatening the safety of others in the village. With little words and direct guidance to follow his lead, Menzai took to a branch of the nearest tree and started moving with haste.
“Well… Let’s go!” Darius exclaimed, not being a victim of hesitation.
“You got it, boss!” Dante chimed in as they dashed in the direction Menzai had begun to run. The two brothers ran quickly before slowing to a pace they could both maintain. Despite their speed, they were falling more and more behind Menzai by the second.
“Damn, these shoes are trash! No traction! No arch support!” Darius complained, yet he was mostly correct. The shoes he wore now were not made to endure too much wear and tear and were beginning to reach their limit after the several physical training sessions he put them through. Dante, however, endured as he was used to conducting fast-paced movements in boots. It didn’t make him faster, just less likely to complain about what his shoes were made for. Despite Dante’s lack of complaints and Darius’ more focused conditioning toward running, the two needed a boost if they were going to make any headway. But how?
The brothers succinctly looked at each other.
“GET READY TO ROCK AND ROLL!”
“Let’s FUCKIN’ DO THIS!” They both shouted simultaneously the same idea in mind as they ran alongside each other.
At that moment a large chunk of earth rose under their feet as they focused on making it fly forward. Darius grinned at their prospect as the chunk of earth was traveling faster than their previous running speed.
“Hahaha! Surfs up mothafucka! Woooooooh!”
“Fuck yeah, bro!” He focused harder on propelling the chunk of earth feeling a strain on his magic as he did so. Darius shot a smile at Dante as sweat began to bead on his forehead. He was feeling the strain as well.
“You getting tired on me, soldier?! You can’t let me beat you here!” Even now, Darius was continuing their competitive streak.
“Look here morning dew, I’m not the one breaking sweat.” He let out a short laugh causing Darius to chuckle himself.
“Good, because we might have a fight on our hands! Once we get there-”
“I already know.” his voice filled with a tone of stoicism as he crashed his fist into his palm and cracked his knuckles.
The two continued to follow Menzai through the forest before they see something large and brown moving up ahead.
Almost there!
And then the beast came into view, yet it didn’t matter what it was, Darius and Dante’s minds were set. The moment they broke through the trees to see the roc, a massive bird of prey with a face billowing with feathers vibrant in color. The twins shared one more look at one another as they headed at the roc.
“ROLL OUT!”
“YEET!” The two roared before dismounting off the rock from either side as it continued to fly forward at the roc until it struck the beast in the chest! Dante rolled as he hit the ground, while Darius took the fall on his forearms and shins. “Darius and Dante coming in for the save!” He shouted before noticing Phia amongst those being targeted by the bird. Surprise party gone wrong, I guess?
“I think you picked the wrong friend this time Phia.” He teased before looking at the towering beast before everyone.
