Hunting the huntress Rewritten

Chapter 14Hunter kills giant snake, Hunter strong (cue chest beating)Branwynn

Whoopee, sky sickness, snakes, children casting spells, my friends saved by a group of people on a flying boat. Could this day get any better? You bet. We all attacked and I ran towards my sword, still in the snakes eye. I pulled it free and kicked it as I retreated. Dang nab it! Now my foot hurt too. I reached the back of the kids when the spells started flying, runes crashed against the hide of the snake causing it to writhe in slight discomfort, but nothing seemed to do any permanent damage. Finally Hunter and Oracle fell next to me. Oracle stayed back but Hunter ran into the fray, she was stabbing at the snake with her spear but doing no damage. The snake seemed uninterested in her and in fact actually seemed that he didn't want to hurt her. She fell back muttering to herself. I ran forward and lunged forward rolling along its spine dragging my sword across it. The serpent writhed screaming in agony. I jumped off and stumbled away as I turned I saw the ugly cut closing. Oracle swore in many colourful ways and christened the snake Mr. Kill-everything-but doesn't-die, Hunter paced as the kids retreated and regrouped. The girl called Sadie(Oracle had told me) approached along side Carter (Oracle again) and the guy who had pulled Oracle out of the water (guess who told me?)

"You need to leave" Said Sadie. Hunter shook her head.

"No, I think I know who it is and he can't be killed, even so I think I can drive him away" She said rubbing her temples. Sadie stared at her long and hard before turning to the guy next to her (not Carter the other one)

"Can you keep it busy?" She asked he nodded and ran off, and when I turned back to the snake it was being attacked by a camel. (don't ask) Hunter ran to the edge of the bridge and dove off smoothly. She didn't resurface until the Camel was dinner and it was eyeing us as his second course. Then she erupted out of the water in some sort of clear red armour. It looked part man, part sandstorm, but it's face looked like a cross between an evil dog thing and some man. Sadie yelled something, like Letty! Carter said Leroy for some reason I don't know why. Hunter raised her arm and so did the red thing around her in her hand was the spear. She started attacking Mr. Kill-everything-but doesn't-die, she struck until there were multiple cuts. Eventually the snake dove under the water and was gone. Hunter stood still for a second before the weird red stuff vanished with her spear. she slumped and fell making a tiny splash in the water. Sadie shoved Carter forward and he glared at her before diving after Hunter. They surfaced five feet from the bridge carter raised his hand and the Crazy hummingbird and lion hybrid flew down the boat swinging below it. Carter and Hunter climbed on. Hunter coughed and looked us smiling and weakly waved.
