Elis followed the trail of destruction, panting heavily as she moved along, not even bothering to examine it anymore as it was so obvious where this creature had been.



Several trees lay in her way, lay across a path that had been torn to shreds with the bear's claws on his hind legs. Elis hadn't ever fought anything this big before or at least nothing this aggressive before. She knew that she wouldn't be able to do it alone...



''Hal? '' She thought to herself, though got little more than silence in response. After ten seconds or so, she tried again.



Hal!?



“ This had better be important...” 



'' My life depends on it... ''



“'' So in other words... 'No.'” ''



'' Urgh... Don't be a smart ass, just help me out! ''



<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ Okay, huge bear with an attitude problem, sounds simple enough...” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">'' Just... Make sure that you don't kill it by accident, okay? ''

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ I make no such promises...” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">'' Hal! ''

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> Elis sighed, having him on her side was always an advantage, even if he did threaten the mission objective.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> It was then that she saw it, a large hill-like backside, mere feet away, where the bear stood in a clearing. It appeared to have come to a brief stop, to observe a small stream and the fish that dwell inside it.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> Elis slowly crept around, behind the creature, doing her best not to step on any twigs. Not only would that be terrifying but it would also be equally as cliché.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> The Bosmer readied her bow and arrow, slowly drawing the string back as she readied her shot, she expected to be able to shoot it in the back of the head, killing it before it even got its first glance at her...

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ If you're aiming for its head, you're aiming too high.” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">'' Piss off Hal, I've been doing this for years! ''

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ Suit yourself...” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> Elis rolled her eyes as she fired, watching as the arrow flew over the creature's head and landing with a thud in the nearest tree, quickly getting its attention. The Bear's head snapped up as its nose twitched, prompting it to quickly look around from side to side as he tried to identify what had just happened.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">'' Shit... ''

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ Told you...” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">'' Grrr... yes, thanks Hal!''

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> Elis lifted her bow again and fired it at the bear, pulling the string back fully before firing at the back of its head, only this time she was far too low and ended up shooting it in the upper back, causing it to roar in a mix of shock, surprise and anger.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> The creature locked its eyes onto her, quickly smashing its jaws together and spraying spittle everywhere, growling aggressively in her direction. Elris swiftly raised her bow and took a shot, in the vain hopes of managing to kill it without taking too long to aim, however, her accuracy grew worse with every shot.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> As she reached for another arrow, squeezing it between her middle and ring finger as she got ready to draw it, a nearby rock began to resonate with some sort of blue, spiritual energy and slowly lifted off of the ground, swaying from side to side as it apporached the creature from behind and eventually dropped down, landing with a hard 'thud' on its head and sending it swaying from side to side.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> Elis quickly spun around and fled the clearing, seeing that the creature was merely shaking it off, by swaying his head side to side and staggering before eventually shaking its head furiously and lunging after her.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> The Bosmer fled into the wilderness, ducking and dodging the various pieces of foliage as she continued to flee the pursuing creature. Hal did his best to slow the creature down, by throwing various items at it but nothing he could find could even scratch the demonic thing, never mind properly wound it.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal"> Elis hopped over the final fallen tree before seeing a smoke trail in the distance, she stood, panting heavily as she used the time left by the obstruction to make a decision.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">“ Hal, wh-what do you think?”

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ I think that this was a stupid fucking idea...” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">“ Urgh... I mean about the camp!”

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“'' Huh? Well, what's the worst they could be?” ''

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">'' Cannibals, rapists? Slave traders? ''

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ I doubt that anyone would want to eat you or rape you and your pampered ass would be worthless as a slave, not to mention that you've got ole Hal here to stab them with their own weapons.” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">“ Okay... I like that... Well, not all of it but we can work on that later.”

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">“ Speaking on shit that we need to work on, bear! ” 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"> Elis gasped and ducked as the bear's large claw swiped at her back, tearing her cloak off as she sprinted forward, towards the encampment.
