Assignment 2: First Fight
(Ooc: Word Count; 1080. Wow... :0 )
The rabbit girl made her way down the hall. It appeared to be a castle wall design with stone blocks, with shields adorning it. The arches that held the ceiling up had a leaf design at the points were the arch met the wall. Torches were scattered about the walls, crackling and popping, giving the hall an ancient look.
“Even with the torches, I’m feeling cold,” she thought, “but I can probably understand why he acted like that. He’s most likely seen many newcomers come and go.”
When the inexperienced air user came out of the long hallway ,thinking, she stepped into a tightly forested area. The trees, which appeared to be oaks and pine, in here were grouped tightly together, with just enough space to walk through. The tops of them seemed to stretch on forever. “Wow!”
The shapeshifter pushed her glasses up, and adjusted the leather bag hanging off of her right side. Both which were intact and undamaged despite the fall. Muttering to herself, “ The trees most likely are just packed for a couple of feet, they’ll space out soon I’ll bet,” the shapeshifter slowly pushed her way through the tree line.
The rabbit girl was right about them spacing out, but it happened at twenty feet into this forest. Turning around, she could not see the way back. “Great, I’m lost now…”
It opened into a sparsely tree type of a meadow. Suddenly, a growl seeped through the rust colored bandana. “Wha-what was th-that?!” The growl was louder now, as well as a new sound, running.
A wolf darted out of the thick, forested area, still running towards the oranged-clad female. “ NO!”
This wolf was different from the wolves she had read about. This one appeared to be more of a reptile version, complete with a tan-ish brown diamond scale design, down to its serpent eyes, and long whip-like tail. It was also larger, about four feet tall at the shoulder. It wolf opened it’s mouth revealing inch long fangs, as well as two longer fangs which flipped down, and took it’s canine teeth positions.
It might be poisonous. I’m going to have to be careful not to let it bite me.
She quickly jumped behind an large oak, just as it came close to biting her. The wolf must have been extremely focused on her, for it slammed into the tree, shaking the lower tree branches.
The shapeshifter ran back into the woods, leaving her bag behind. The wolf was slightly stunned, yet it chased after its prey. A few minutes later, the young adult only wound up going in a circle, coming back into the meadow.
The orange-clad female quickly turned toward the wolf as it approached her, and punched. Unknown to the young adult, her right arm and hand glowing a pale silver-gray. A light gray orb shot out of her fist, aimed at the wolf’s head. It impacted the creature’s shoulder though, throwing the wolf back as it fell onto it’s side.
The rabbit girl’s eyes widened, “ What was that?!”
The wolf got up again, disabling the novice air user’s thought of her attack. It ran toward her, and swiped at its prey’s head.
The shapeshifter ducked and moved to her right, the wolf only managed to take her bandana off as it sailed past.
The young adult was a little tired out due to the sudden fall into this place, as well as the chase and the quick reactions/near tackles. She started to pant, but her fear kept her alert.
Two six-inch long rabbit ears came out horizontally and swiveled around, before focusing on the wolf. The ears were the same medium color of brown as the female’s hair. The rabbit girl threw a punch again, aimed at the wolf’s turning form. The light gray orb hit the wolf’s head this time, but still it kept coming at the girl.
The orange-clad female jumped into the air, and stood on it. It was not high enough to be over the creature’s height, but it was enough to make it skid to a stop. Leaping off of the faded gray pole, the girl turned her body to the side, the left side facing the wolf while her right side was facing an oak.
From this, I might be able to gain some momentum by turning. I hope this works.
The wolf charged at the shapeshifter, as the prey rose her left arm to a 90 degree angle. It opened its mouth, the two fangs popping down again. She watched it approach her ’front’ and pivoted towards the attacker, letting her right arm go.
It hit the wolf in the side of its head, with a gray sphere hitting first, followed by her fist. It felt like the rabbit girl hit a hard chain link wall, but it worked.
The wolf head leaned to the left and fell to the ground.
The rabbit girl took advantage of this, by quickly hopping into the air in a zigzag style, slowly rising. She stopped jumping at ten feet above the ground.
A fog-like plank was under her feet, as the young adult watched the wolf slowly get up, glaring at its prey. The creature left, wandering off to find and easier food source.
“What did I do?” The shapeshifter stared at her hands. Then her attention turned towards the plank she was now sitting on. As the rabbit girl looked down, her fear of heights slowly crept into her mind.
The novice air user slowly let her legs hang off of the side of the three foot long square. A two foot wide, gray pole formed under her feet before she even stood up. The pole faded into the air two feet down.
The young adult shakily stood up on the pole, and the plank had faded away. As she stepped down, more poles formed, but only one at a time. The girl reached the ground after a couple of minutes.
The shapeshifter cautiously looked around, her long rabbit ears trying to listen for the wolf again, or worse, a whole pack. The girl picked up her bandana, and held her ears back, and slid it back over them.
She walked over to her bag, picking it up. Then the young adult went over to an oak, sat down and leaned her head against the tree. The fear and panic in her was staring to subside now.
That was my first fight.
