MenaAthena Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Shana strolled through the woods without a sound. The tree's towered above the lonely figure as she continued her pitiful existence in the unforgiving wilderness. She hung her head low, for her heart felt as black as her eyes looked. It had been an eternity since she felt the company of others, but in reality it had only been two weeks. The only sounds in the air where bird chirps, the wind gently rustling the trees, and... shouting? Yes, shouting! Shana's heart leaped for joy at the sound of other human beings. She lowered the hood of her cloke so that it obscured her eyes and silently approached the source of the shouting.She stopped to take in the bizarre sight before her. There stood a nightmare creature with a man in it's jaws and another man bending the light around him. The light made her flinch as it stung her eyes momentarily. Shana moved behind a tree and continued to watch unnoticed.

Battal Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The tree Shana hid behind suddenly shuddered, a small rain of pinecones pelleting her from above. A loud groaning rang out from the tree's limbs as they began to move.

MenaAthena Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 After leaping back a good ways, Shana stared at the moving tree with her mouth ajar. She had encountered a tree guard once before in a different forest, but she didn't know they would awake without being provoked. Luckily, her previous encounter taught her a way to pacify the giant. She took out a pile of pine cones and began planting.

Battal Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The base of the tree's trunk snapped in two as it stepped forwards, its massive head turning towards Shana with a booming creak. Fully awake, Spriggum bent down to take a closer look at the girl (not that he actually had too.)

MenaAthena Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Shana almost panicked as the Tree Guard loomed over her, but she quickly calmed herself. After all, the giant hadn't taken hostile action... yet. She continued to plant her dwindling pine cone supply with slightly shaking hands.

Battal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Spriggum's closer observation of the human below proved that it was a sapling, not a threat, and also very, very frightened. He stood and, glancing back at the two others behind him, his oaths of protection overwhelmed his oaths of destruction. However, the treeguard thought, they ought to be careful not to destroy any trees. He bent down towards the sapling, more carefully this time, the branches that controlled his face now in a less menacing position.

MenaAthena Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Shana stopped planting and looked at Spriggum. Though still wary, curiosity started taking over her fear. She stood up and tilted her head a little, still not revealing her eyes."H-hello?" Her voice was gentle and quiet. Exactly what you would expect from a shy young girl.

Battal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Spriggum did not understand a large portion of the human language, but he was aware that 'hello' was a basic greeting, usually used for friendly reasons. He began to fashion a response from his limited vocabulary. "Must..." He says in a slow, groaning voice. "you..." - He points at Shana with a finger as large as herself - "leave..." -The point turns into a gesture of pushing something away - "here." (Also, here's a 50-foot-tall snowman for size comparison.)

MenaAthena Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Shana pondered for a moment weather or not to question the fifty foot tall tree that could crush her. However, it didn't seem to want to hurt her. In fact, it almost seemed... protective."Why?"

Battal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Spriggum wracked his brain trying to think of a way to explain things to the sapling, but found it impossible. Creaking in frustration, he grasped the human in his hands and began to carry it away.

Battal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) "Be...calm...sapling." Spriggum creaks, slowly lumbering away from the two men. Reaching a spot that looked safe, he set the human on the ground. "Stay...safe." He then walks back towards the others.

vanquishbhp Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 (Continuing the attack on Theo)Dingane dropped down from the Terrorbeak's jaws.

Blewcheese Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Theodedius frowned. "Minister of Justice...? I was brought to a world with a Minister of Justice?" He kept the holy light constricting around him, making it almost hard to see him clearly. "Tell me then, what were you doing with that beast?"

MenaAthena Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Shana sat patiently untill Spriggum lumbered out of sight. That tree guard was one of the few things here that didn't want to kill her, and the only one that was protective. Why did it want to protect her? Why did it want her to go away? Did it know something bad was going to happen? Questions swirled around in her mind as curiosity once again overcame her. She had to follow it.Shana laid down, closed her eyes, and took long, deep breaths. Her body turnd dark and translucent as it flattened into nothingness, leaving nothing but a humanoid shadow in its place. The shadow silently scurried in the direction the tree guard went, carefully avoiding patches of light.

Battal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Spriggum approached the two humans, his massive trunks/legs punching car-sized holes into the soft earth. The other had been a sapling, but these two were fully grown. Despicable-looking creatures they were, one with a large amount of light around it and the other with a shadow creature. There was something...wrong, about the second.

What the hell was this monstrosity? He smiled and let out a laugh that chilled everyone present to the bone. 'So.'Almost instantly, countless shadow hands rose from the ground and restrained the creature.'You are tainted with the essence of my brothers.

Battal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Spriggum only took a couple seconds to tear the hands off at their roots, leaving them writhing on the ground behind him.

MenaAthena Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) The shadow had managed to find Spriggum and the humans. She slowly made here way up the shady side of a not moving tree to get a better view and stayed perfectly still. In the shade she looked like nothing more than a slightly darker shape, but she didn't want to take any chances of being noticed. As the darker human attacked the giant, she made note of several things. He had similar powers to hers, he was quick to violence, and he was eather very stupid or very arrogant, which is pretty much the same thing.

vanquishbhp Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Dingane was shocked that an overgrown twig had destroyed his hands. It seems that his brothers had empowered the leafy behemoth.'Fluffy, get away from it!'Fluffy obeyed at once, but not before taking a huge chomp that damaged the treeguard's leg.Dingane conjured green fire in his hand. He shrieked with evil laughter.'Heh. You're quite strong for a twig! Pan'Taleus must have lent a helping claw.'He retched- even the mention of his brother, Lord of Despair, brought vomit to his throat.'But no-one can save you from the WRATH OF THE LORD OF LIES!'Dingane prepared to fire a blast of unholy flames as an evil smile lit his face.
