Twisted Forest (Void Event)

[Calyco]

The mage entered a so called "Twisted Forest", the locals really have fantasy. She wandered around in order to track down a source of the small farm animal killings she was hired to, most likely it was just a wolf or something, nothing another member could have handled but they say even mages have disappeared against such a foe. The God Slayer was interested to see what it was that fellow mages couldn't handle, she stumbled upon a stream. "Well the animals should go drink here, maybe if I wait for some time a wolf will appear." the girl was hard set the culprit was just a wolf.

She sat down behind a bush, cleverly positioned to have a view of the entire area, the stench around that place was making her sick, it almost smelled like death. Wait a moment, the smell was familiar, it usually stinks like this when meat is overdue. The mage looked around, a place nearby was the source, many mosquitoes were flying around a dead deer. She carefully examined the deer, it was killed by something sharp hitting it's neck, perhaps wolf teeth. The wound however was much deeper and from turning the body around she found out half of the neck in this side was missing.

A growl that would send anyone screaming was heard from behind another bush behind her, what could it be?

[Calyco]

Calyco was already on her feet when the noise turned to sound like someone was running over here, a woman soon appeared and tripped over the deer's dead body, her eyes were widened at the sight of the corps but then she noticed the mage, looking at her face it stiked as though she wanted to say "run" but no sound came out of her mouth. The growling sound appeared again and this time much closer, she knew what was up and drew her sword. Her armor now reflecting the sunlight became the first victim of the vicious animals attack, a large wolf like animal jumped at her, its claws scratched her armor almost tearing it apart. One of it's nails broke and was still stuck on the armor right on her left side hip.

"Hm, what do we have here?" the animal landed just in front of the group. The lady was hiding behind Calyco who seemed to be exited, she has not seen such a strange creature before, this was no wolf and so the fantasies were really true. With a swift movement the mage appeared right besides the creature coming at it with a directed punch from it's left side trying to hit it's flank but unfortunately the hit landed only on the ground chipping large pieces of it. The animal leapt over into the air where it directed it's neck at her, she could feel the magical power building up then a yellow breath attack was released. Calyco wasn't prepared for this, the only thing she could manage at that short time was to give the attack a punch of her own with her light elemental property.

[Calyco]

With some luck her punch managed to at least lessen the damage from that attack, her right arm-guard was gone now, incinerated by whatever that was. Yellow attack, it didn't look like any of the elements she knew about however this can't be underestimated. She released all her power going from black hair to blond, the aura around her glowed lightly, she looked at the woman, "Get very far from here." she commanded but did not wait for an answer. With her left hand she held her trusted sword and with the other she directed a finger at the creature who was about to land, she sprinted towards the location of the fall whilst casting a spell that flew and hit right on mark in a puff of smoke.

It appears nothing much was done to the monster who just landed, she wasted no time and slashed it two times diagonally aimed at its neck. Both attacks hit but yet nothing happened, the monster's hide was much stronger than that. Once again it growled then snatched at her with its claws, this time she was prepared, her whole body turned to light making the attack just pass through her body, she reappeared 20 m behind the creature. While it was turning around she gathered all light at the area concentrating magic inside lungs, the light released from her mouth could have blinded anyone staring it it for too long. "Bingo" she said once the smoke cleared out, the kill was hers. A roasted monster corpse lay besides the roasted deer corpse.

"Haha, it's time for dinner maybe. Now where did the woman go." she walked towards the direction she saw her walk off to returning to normal in the process.

"This was really unexpected, now I'll have to get a new arm-guard." she spoke while reminiscing the loss her piece of armor and checked her purse, the money wasn't enough to get a new one, hopefully the job will pay enough. A distant screech made her wonder what it was, the forest had too many animals to speak of and that sound could have been anything but it was also possible the creature she just defeated wasn't alone. She thought hard on this, but came to a conclusion it couldn't be true since she just killed a wolf like animal and the screech most definitely belonged to a bird of some kind.

The truth wasn't far behind, a large pterodactyl swooped for its prey, the woman that ran away was taking by its talons and brought up to the sky. Calyco managed to see the location they were flying to and it was looking grim, the nest was probably somewhere on that top of the rounded tall mountain. "You must be joking right?" that was the reaction she got when she saw the mountains, hopefully the woman won't be dead when she gets up. She began to climb up but was very disappointed how hard it was since every edge was smooth, there was just nowhere to grab.

[Calyco]

The mage wondered how she was going to get up when something dropped down from the sky, a yellow ball that splashed all over the place but luckily it didn't hit or otherwise her armor would have been eaten by the acid-like thing that was now eating the plants nearby. With a clap of the wing the bird creature rushed to get her with its talons, "No you don't." her voice projected anger. Calyco drew her sword just in time to block the talons but she couldn't get a slash or two at the creature, it flew upwards once again trying to do something with its beaks.

Instinctively she dodged back, left and right in time but the splashes hit her armor which was now in a corrosive state and hissed from damage it took. Calyco quickly darted into the forest where the trees were high and thick, this should hinder the creatures movements and perhaps make it have to walk. From previous fight with the wolf-like creature of some sorts she determined a sword won't do any good here, one of her light spell will have to do it but she will need to position herself better. At a distance she could hear wings clapping again, the thing was high in the sky above the trees but it was descending.

[Calyco]

She climbed on the tree with an objective to hide. Soon the flying creature would descend into roughly her height while on the tree but it was far from her place for her to do anything. A good strategy would be now to let it know her general location, quietly she broke a small branch and threw it on the ground. The creature immediately registered the movement and flew over to see what it was that made the sound. Surprisingly it wasn't that clever just as she thought with previous experience with the other creature. She jumped at it, when pterodactyl was looming over the branch with her fist aiming at its body clad in her light element.

The punch hit the abdomen sending the whole body into the ground and with her full weight she landed on it. "This is your end." she yelled at its face while it was trying to get up. After all she has now disabled the bird and a bird not in the sky was very clumsy, sure it could take her fist attack but bet it can't take the breath attack. With all magical power she summoned the light around them, there was plenty making the attack very successful. A bright stream of light lit her mouth shot straight at the birds body, unfortunately for it the hit landed grilling the corpse left, the smell of grilled bird meat was now looming around the area. "Well, let's get the lady up there."
