"There it is. Mizutsune." Zakrin said, grabbing his hammer from off his back.

He, Lyla, and Rage were all hiding from the Leviathan in some bushes. The area they were in had a gorgeous waterfall at one end and a river running through the middle. A few Ludroth moved about near the waterfall, not posing much of a threat. Lyla was already loading ammo into her bowgun and Rage had unsheathed his dual blades. The beast in front of them was beautiful in Rage's opinion.

It had a long, slender body covered in dark purple fur. The fur covered its chest, underbelly, legs and tail. Its scales were light colored and similar to those of a fish. Its head had a long snout that somewhat reassembled a fox and was beautifully adorned by many fin-like appendages. It was pacing the area, sniffing the ground every once in awhile. At one point it even looked up at the full moon above them and Rage gasped at the absolute beauty of this creature.
"This thing is aggressive?" He asked, knowing little to nothing about this Leviathan "It looks to beautiful to be aggressive."
"They aren't normally, no. However, during mating season the males get a little bit aggressive. This one, is most defiantly a male." Lyla said.
"Well, what are we waiting for? The sooner we kill this thing, the sooner we can find Rage's airship." Zakrin said.
"Right. I'll go left, you guys go right."
Rage and Zakrin nodded, gripping their weapons tighter. With a yell Lyla charged out of the bushes and fired multiple rounds at the Leviathan. It let out a roar of anger and the fight started. Zakrin ran out of the bushes, hammer at the ready. After a moment of holding it over his shoulder, it started to glow yellow and then orange and finally red. He then swung it at the Mizutsune's face, causing it to flinch. It growled in anger and leaped over Zakrin's head. It landed behind him and wacked him with its tail, sending him flying.
"You okay Hammer boy?" Lyla called, unloading more rounds at the monster.
"Yes." Zakrin managed to croak.
Rage came running out of the bushes next, and spun towards the bubble fox. It barely managed to doge the attack. It then started secreting some sort of colorful liquid from its scales, coating parts of the floor in it. Suddenly it was sliding across the ground as if it were ice, turning the battle into a dance of death. Rage took a step towards the beast, and started sliding in the liquid. He shot his arms out, trying to keep his balance.
