It was the sound of the hymn that brought a call to those who enjoyed the most dire of hunts. Though rare to find, the night gave meaning to the word ghastly. As new beings emerged from the dark corners of the forest. Once happy to remain dormant and feed once every few years now, sensing the decay of the land, are making efforts to feed whilst there remains a meal to be had. A gift left behind from Nuxta and likely a plan of his. An issue that was usually dealt with by hunters now increased ten fold. Many hunters, as skilled and wise as they were, succumbed to the contact made with these rare and frightening creatures. A creature stepped from a burrow deep within the earth. Its many heads snapped ferociously at the nights air. With multiple noses it searched the forest for a viable meal. The fluids dripping from its hunger left a trail. Though moving in silence was hardly its purpose. It quickly made its way across the forest towards the greatest source of aura it could find. The town of Pearl.
Corrupted Teju JaguaThough its plan was to feed. A gargled cry was let out from the creature. It's black blood dashing across the trees and thorny bushes that were scattered about Gaia's forest. A silver glint of a blade could be seen as a slender figure swept across the ground for another strike. The beast's reaction was enough for the hunters pursuit to be fended off, as he quickly evaded with even greater speed. But it was all that could be done to avoid the swipes from this feral creature. Dashing stones and dirt as debris with its furious strikes. Despite this the battle was rather quiet for its beginning. Directly between Onyx and Pearl it was a good distance from both to be heard outright.
The HunterInterlocked in the beginnings of a duel of survival both beings contested for who was hunting who. The 15 foot tall, 28 foot long beast with multiple heads. Or the Six foot tall hunter. In the moonlit night the glistening of this beast's fur could be seen. Jewels, gold and silver. Rare stones all scattered about its fur and its scales were dark in the light, but clearly covered in silver. Once a fruit eating protector of treasure and the forest now a meat hunting savage worth more dead than alive.
