Ghost
Honorary Talon Marinxar Taul Harroc (a.k.a. Ghost)
A rather large patch of Ormu hangs from an ancient pine, settled on a large mound of dirt with meager stones gathered at its base, its branches loom over a patch of brown needles flecked with green sprouts and saplings; Its viridescent phyllids glimmering dully. Some distance away a fire roars, surrounded by figures washed with its light. Each glancing nervously from thicket to thicket, gleaming iron in the hands of some, crackling embers in the palms of others. The Ormu stirs as Ghost slinks past, a vague willowy shadow in the sea of dark. A twig snaps. Ghosts head whips around, spindly arms working at his hip and brandishing a silhouette. Ghosts throat undulates wildly, a loud clicking echoing throughout his body.
The vocalization halts abruptly, punctuated with a loud grunt and a gasp as a wall of shade slams into Ghost. Soaring from the shadow they both come to rest at the feet of the feverishly devouring fire, Ghosts tightly interlocked bronze scales dancing with its light and bright pantone eyes sundered by a dark slit wide open. Cold, calm, they stare at the claws digging into Ghosts chest, and the blood soaked, sabre like teeth boring through his left shoulder. Ghost deftly reaches for his dagger, and blinks. He pats his empty sheathe, and pounds his fist into the ground; An expression swiftly rewarded with a sharp tug and a low growl from the prey standing over him.
Ghost grimaces in pain, and steels himself. Tensing and releasing his fist He prepares for what he has to do, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Feeling the air flow through his body and press against the paws of the beast standing on him. Ghost snakes his arm away from his hip and clenches his hand in tight fist, aiming for the- with a bright flash and an explosion of fire the prey hisses, stumbling off of ghost. Tilting his head up, Ghost looks behind, and sees the outline of a dancing figure wearing a long flowing robe, massive beard flying this way and that. Ghost smiles as the figure slowly jives behind a hulking silhouette, metal plates reflecting the fires light. Turning back to the beast Ghost caught a glimpse of it rubbing it's large head on the ground before it looked back to Ghost with malice in its eyes. The fur on its face was black, and it's whiskers were completely burned off. Now he could see it in full, two long teeth protruding from it's top jaw, large and curved body ready to pounce, it's was the Saber-Toothed Tiger the guard told him about.
The cat growled and began to stalk closer to ghost, moving with grace and caution. Ghost bares his teeth and with his head follows the beast closely. Small cracks of electricity arc and spark from ghosts teeth, he furrows his brow into a squint, focusing. The cat leaps into action, paws digging deep into the earth as it's huge mass launches forward, tan fur and teeth glistening with ghosts blood. It opens its maw wide, and releases a bone rattling roar. Ghost watches as time slows and the cat inches forward, twenty feet, fifteen feet, ten feet, it bolts forward closing in fast. Five feet. Ghost opens his mouth and screams, a blue glow emanating from his mouth, followed by a deafening crack and a flash of light whipping into the face of his attacker. In a instant the cat stopped in midair and fell in a heap on the ground, body twitching, eyes closed, the flesh on its face blistered and charred; it's body still.
Ghost stood, dazed, for just a moment, before stepping close to confirm the kill. Running his hand along it's long tooth he envisions it fixed to the a fine leather hilt. With a start, the cats eyes flick open and it chest heaves with labored breath. In a moment it was on its feet sprinting into the forest. Ghost looks at the ground and grins at the heavy footprints chasing after it. With a crack of electricity between his teeth ghost stands and jogs into the darkness. “The hunt… it on.”, said his voice, drifting from the black.
