Monsters in the Forests

[Snow Villiers]

Snow sighed deeply as he felt sweat drip down his muscled back, as the howl of the Adamantheron summoned it’s brethren to where the monster thought Snow would be an easy prey. Clenching his fists once more Snow knew it would only be a matter of time before they overwhelmed him if he didn’t destroy the group before they called out for more.

Quickly moving in on his opponent, Snow attacked the monster with a fury of punches, in the face and side as the blows landed weakening the creature, Snow could feel his smile creep across his face as he realized that this monster wasn’t as strong as he originally thought it was.

Wrapping his arms around the adamantheron’s neck Snow squeezed cutting off the air supply of the beast. Snow held on as the monster fought desperately needing air as Snow readjusted his hold getting ready to break the beast’s neck, all the while not noticing the silent stalking of the monster’s friend that came when it hear the call.

[Vaan]

Vaan looked on in fascination at the battle between the man and the adamantheron carried out below his treetop perch. He had heard the howl of the beast earlier and it drew him to the clearing just in time to witness the strange man pummel the beast with a barrage of powerful blows.

He had decided not to get involved seeing as the man could clearly handle himself and Vaan was unlucky enough to only be carrying his longbow and a set of bejeweled daggers he had "liberated" from one of Chaos' nobles.
As Vaan was turning to leave, the muscular stranger had a death grip around the beast's throat, however the man could not see that another adamantheron was stealthily creeping up behind him.

Without even thinking Vaan instinctively notched two arrows in his longbow without making a sound. He let the arrows fly, both hitting the beast square in the chest and by the time the beast howled in pain Vaan was already lunging towards him. However, the beast recovered quicker than expected and tackled Vaan. The two grappled furiously and the monster slashed a Vaan's shoulder, leaving a deep, bloody gash. Vaan howled in pain, but managed to pull out his set of daggers. He wrenched out of the adamantheron's clutches and proceeded to drive his dagger through its heart.
Bloody, and in agonizing pain, Vaan finally turned around to address the man he had just helped.

[Snow Villiers]

Snow as felt the bones in the adamantheron neck crush under his tight squeeze, he heard a howl of pain behind him, Snow quickly snapped the monsters neck to turn to face his next opponent only to see a young man with blond hair lunging towards the monster, however it seemed that the arrows that young man had only stunned the beast.

Recovering faster than Snow had thought was possible, the monster torn into the boy’s shoulder earning a bloody scream from the youth. With lighting speed the boy freed a set of daggers and managed to sink the daggers into the monster’s black heart.

Snow heard the monsters groan as it gasped for its last breath, however the monster was the lest of Snow’s worries, it looks like a mere kid just saved his bacon and now it didn’t look like the boy was going to last the rest of the day if his blood continued to run out of his body.

Snow silently started to summon his Eidolon, Shiva sisters, the mark on his arm started to burn, but not a burn from the heat but like when someone stayed too long out in the winter. A cocky smile cross Snow’s face, as he never showed how painful it was to summon these Eidolons from their land or wherever they came from.

Snow threw what seemed like a blue orb that grew as a ball of water as it appeared to have two women swimming in it only to freeze and then a few seconds later burst from it. Shiva was here.

“Stiria, I need cure on this boy here, he saved my neck.” Snow said as he looked the boy over.

The summon quickly obeyed her master as she drew closer to the young man, her hand glowing with cura, but silently asking the boy for the okay as well.

“I’m Snow.” He said as he grinned.

[Vaan]

Vaan knew he was in trouble if he couldn't figure out a way to stop the bleeding, but the blinding pain in his shoulder was blocking almost all rational thoughts that entered his mind. He cursed himself for not bringing any potions along with him into the forest.

He was then vaguely aware of the man he just saved approaching him. Vaan knew this was the end and it was unlikely that he would make It out of this mess. As he was lying on the ground in pain, suddenly he heard a voice inside his head asking permission to heal him. Vaan didn't know if he was hallucinating or what because he opened his eyes and saw what he could only guess was an eidolan standing beside him charging up a healing spell. Vaan gave the okay to the strange-looking woman and his wounds began to heal.

As the cura spell was just about done fixing him up,Vaan looked over to the man and saw a curious grin spread across his face as he revealed his name to be Snow. "Thanks for the save Snow" Vaan replied energetically as he felt his strength returning. "My name's Vaan, thief and sky-pirate extraordinaire!" Vann exclaimed, then cautiously continued, "Hey mind telling me why you're out here all alone this deep into the woods?" Vaan was desperately hoping that this man wasn't in any way connected to Chaos or his soldiers because recent events hadn't exactly put Vaan on the best of terms with the soldiers in the city. Considering this Vaan nervously awaited a response from Snow.

[Riku]

Riku followed closely behind a caravan of Chaos soldiers that were heading to the city. Riku was spying on the caravan and was being very careful not to be spotted. The soldiers wandered up the road at a slow pace. Riku was becoming impatient. He was heading to the palace to do some business with Chaos but wanted to see how the soldiers operated so he was following this group to the city. Just then he heard the cry of some beast. The soldiers all took note of it as well. They scrambled together to change their course to the direction of the sound. Riku knew he could get there faster than the soldiers so he ran ahead towards the noise.

He came to a clearing in time to see a boy killing off a beast and another person making his way over to him. The boy seemed hurt and the other person was helping him. Riku could hear them talking but didn’t make out what they were saying.
His hood was up hiding most of his face. He did not want to be recognized by any of the Chaos soldiers even though he looked completely different now; he didn’t want to take any chances. He stepped closer to the two and his long black cloak swayed in the breeze. His steps made a loud sound. He assumed that the two would hear him because their sense would be heightened due to the recent battle.


“Hey you guys !! “ he called out
