Re: Fighting them off? (Stryder Aedernis)
OoC: Heh, no sweat man, it's no biggie as to who you choose. Right-o, here we go, my first battle! x3
BiC:
Cey wandered down the street of the small town, humming tunelessly and smiling at the caterpillar on his hand. He giggled as the little creature crawled slowly over his palm, slipping through his fingers, tickling his skin. He walked, as usual, with the hood of his cloak over his head, his small body slightly hunched as he pored over the tiny insect, his eyes riveted to its little body.
He was fascinated with the way it moved, by its vivid green colouring, and its tiny little legs. He giggled again. Without paying much attention to his surroundings, he wandered down the street, passing stalls and vendors. Some hawked their wares to him, but he was in a world of his own, giggling and content. He walked through the town on his journey to his home in the mountainsm, carrying little but the oilskin flask of the narciton potion, a few small coins, and an interesting rock he had picked up on his travels.
Without noticing the large crowd gathered ahead of him, he walked on, only dimly aware of the noise. Chuckling at the insect again, he walked on. Suddenly, without warning, he was in the crowd. He jumped, startled at the bustle around him, the pushing, shoving, shouting people. His heart leapt into his mouth, fear burning his eyes. A man bumped him, pushing him into another, who swatted him away. He tripped and stumbled into the legs of another, who shoved him back. Sent sprawling, Cey cried out in fear. He scrambled onto his knees, panic gripping his thundering heart, and he slithered his way through the crowd.
He froze suddenly, and looked down at his hand. A green slime covered his palm, the remains of the caterpillar smeared across his hand. He moaned at the sight, closing his eyes and clutching his hand to his chest. His eyes flew open again, this time in shock more than fear. He felt it coming. He felt it deep inside, and he grabbed frantically at the flask on his hip.
Clawing at its bonds, he wrenched it from his side and scrabbled at the wired cork. Yet suddenly, a leg bumped his arm, sending the flask flying. Cey yelled, quickly scrambling to grab it, but again the flask was kicked away. He shrieked now, desperately trying to reach it. The anger was coming quickly. He clawed his way to the flask, reaching out to grab it, and a foot came down onto the flask itself.
The oilskin burst, the potion flowing onto the floor. Some of the dark liquid splattered out across Cey's face. He stared in disbelieving shock at the shredded seams of the flask, and his eye twitched. Then, suddenly, he clutched at his chest, his face contorting in pain and fear. A low moan escaped his lips, and his mind went blank. His body, trembling, curled into a ball, and his skin paled slowly, the colour fading from his face.
OoC: Hehe, it's coming. Next post, the berserker will be out and the fight will be on. Hope you're ready... xP
