"Good", said the Khajiit with a firm nod before he headed down the stairwell again.

Evelyne hurried after him. "What do you reckon will happen?" she asked.

"What usually happens when a Beast and a Beast Slayer cross paths", he replied enigmatically, not giving any hints as to whether or not he was optimistic or pessimistic about the upcoming battle.

"I feel bad for you though", he added. "Sorry that your first Beast had to be... this..."

"You couldn't have known", she said. "You even said so yourself. This Beast is unlike anything you have encountered previously."

He sighed. "Let's just hope that that's what the Beast thinks of me as well."

As he reached the ground, he took the reins of Tick and signaled for a guard to open the gate. The guard nodded and did as he was told. Ran'Jinro cast a quick glance behind his shoulder, noticing the emptied surface. He just prayed to the Gods that he wouldn't have to return to the ruins of Kilkreath, or pray that he was killed and devoured before he had to see such a thing occur.

Evelyne climbed up in Puke's saddle and followed after her mentor, not really sure of what she was going to do once the battle commenced. But she had no doubts that Ran'Jinro would tell her when needed. Maybe that was a part of the training as well? Taking her own initiative?

When the gates had been lowered behind the two Beast Slayers they rode out onto the wide and open plateau of Mount Kilkreath, waiting for the creature to make an appearance. Though they reckoned that it wouldn't be very hard, the blizzard was very violent, making it almost impossible to see further away than a couple of yards ahead of them. No doubt those up on the walls would have a better view though.

''Can just pray that they don't let loose an arrow until I give the order... ''reflected the Khajiit anxiously and held his hand at the ready on the handle of his cleaver.
