She released a deliberate sigh, masking the peculiar sensation she felt.
Of course, her idea of fun typically involved disregarding rules and processes entirely.
Because, after all, fun trumps all.
She felt a surge of excitement.
"Hands off."
Thud.
She forcefully swatted Chaud's hand away and rose from the grass.
"I know the way."
Standing tall, she fixed her gaze on the distant sky. A new black cave loomed at the edge of a towering cliff.
She stretched her arms behind her back, securing her bowstring.
Like the Knights of Lugis from years past, she realized that if she couldn't keep up, she might be left behind. But that was a challenge she was prepared to confront.
Anticipation and adrenaline coursed through her veins as she faced the impending battle.
She was already exhilarated.

"Fxck!"
"Erica, be quiet, they're following you!"
"Your voice is louder!"
Fxck!
The frenzied mother wyverns flew back to the nest in droves.
Foodduck!
Puddleduck!
They confidently snuck into the nest, but they were quickly spotted and were on the run.
Tat, tat, tat!
Even as she ran, she didn't miss a beat, aiming her arrow straight at them.
The sound of their wings was a tangle of goosebumps.
There were too many of them.
Whirr-!
Pow!
"Kwiiik-!!"
Whirr.
Pow!
"Kweek! Kweek! Kweek!"
Every shot hit!
Erica's spirits soared at the results.
Her nerves tingled with excitement even as she felt a sense of urgency.
The corners of her mouth twitched with excitement even as she pulled the bowstring.
There were no mistakes, not a single arrow missed.
But still, the population was not dwindling.
"Chaud! There are too many of them! We're X'd!"
She shouted, sincerely, cold sweat dripping down her back.
But Chaud just laughed in his characteristic low throaty voice.
Laughing?
"Don't laugh, Chaud, watch your back!"
Whoosh!
Thud!
A massive wyvern dropped lifeless at Chaud's feet in an instant.
Suddenly-! Another wyvern slumped to the ground next to him.
Splatter!
A crimson spray erupted like a burst dam.
