Weapon: Sword
"Everyone! be on your guard!" the captain ordered as they started to huddle around the bonfire.
Every one of them was at the ready, for Kit Valdenheim it was a frightening thing, this is his first time to join a hunting mission and being a novice he kept thinking of the horror he had heard from the previous parties that had gone on the said task.
"Kit you okay?" Ballord an old knight with a long beard asked as he tapped Kit on the shoulders.
"Yes." Kit immediately nodded trying not to show any signs of fear on his face.
"You better not be a burden to us!" Galzon a knight with a huge axe on his back hissed.
"Yes sir!" Kit though shaking answered with all his courage.
"So what kind of beast are we talking about here cap'n" Ballord asked before chugging ale from his water sack.
"Not sure yet, but it seems pretty elusive and has been causing havoc in the nearby villages." The captain grimly states while poking the bonfire with a stick.
"And so I've heard, none of the other parties seem to have managed to slay it because it so fast and mainly keeps on hiding." Karasof the only marksman on their group stated as a matter of fact.
"I did hear that it is quite formidable." Galzon states as he sharpens his huge axe.
Kit attentively listens on the veteran's discussion all the while writing everything down, he'd been hearing a lot of things about the said creature but none have been able to accurately describe the beast because of its evasiveness. He grew up reading about adventures and tales of known heroes and how they defeated certain beasts, it was what pushed him to leave his old job and join this crusade. He had always hoped to make a name for himself and with this current problem he saw an opportunity. He took notes of all the details of the monster that he had heard from other adventurers and tried to picture out what it could be.
"What the hell are you doing squire!" Galzon snaps at Kit upon seeing what the man was doing "this ain't no time for studying!" he snatches the book and throws it away.
"My ledger!" Kit shouts in frustration as he watched his note go flying into the woods.
"Damn kid! We told you to keep your wits up not write!" Galzon stands while scolding.
"Galzon!" The captain snaps at Galzon.
"We shouldn't have brought him here!" Galzon shots back pointing at Kit in frustration.
"We need all the able men to hunt this monster down, especially now that a lot of the other knights are pre occupied." The captain says with authority.
Galzon kept pacing back and forth in frustration but ended up walking towards the wood.
"Galzon where are you going?" Ballord shouts at the raging knight.
"I'm going hunting!" Galzon snaps back while continuing to move towards the forest.
"Galzon wait!" Karasof shouted while swiftly moving to follow their comrad.
Kit ended up flustered and humiliated of what had happened, all he wanted was to be certain of what they were up against.
"Don't worry about it Kit Galzon's just like that" Ballord gives Kit a reassuring tap.
All of them immediately stood up when they heard a loud and deep shout coming from the woods followed by a loud roar.
"That's Galzon!" Kit nervously states.
"Move!" The captain orders.
All of them grabs a torch before heading towards the forest. They moved with haste towards the sound, kit could hear his heart beat pounding as they ran towards were the scream was heard, he could not help the fear that was enveloping him. Sounds of metal clanging and incandescent roars can be hear as they kept getting closer.
"Karasof!" Kit kneels down beside the wounded marksman all the while the other members continued to move towards the sound of battle.
Karasof was badly injured and had several scratch wounds on the leg and chest, Kit could not help but study the marks on his comrade. It was too many for a troll and was definitely not from a goblin nor would it be from a chupakabra. Kit only stopped his analysis upon hearing the loud cries of his other companions, he draws his sword as he cautiously moves towards were the other knights were.
To his surprise and disbelief all three knights have been completely defeated; Galzon was faced to the ground while Balldor was knocked out together with the captain. He hid himself in the bushes all the while being alert of the surroundings. Within minutes a shadow quickly lunges out of the darkness towards the half dead men sniffing each one as to make sure that all were unconscious.
He could not believe his eyes, it was a she wolf one of the rarest and most agile of the lycan species, he knew for a fact that no normal weapon except silver would be able to slay the so called beast but there was also one he read about from an old book, one weapon.
The She wolf quickly positions itself in a prowl when Kit jumped out of the bushes, two hands holding tightly at the sword, pointing it towards the beast.
It growls at the novice knight and in one swift move lunges towards kit baring all its fang and claws. Kit immediately raises his sword to block the beast claws with one quick step he moves back all the while slashing to keep the beast at bay. Left, right, left, right, he kept slashing and blocking his weapon upon the creatures' assault; though Kit was that inexperienced in actual battle he was well educated with sword defense. He knew for himself that it was impossible to defeat the beast with the weapon that he has and so he reverted to defending.
Kit was already sweating after several minutes of the fight, when he was sure that they were far enough from the others, with one motion he changes his stance, raising his sword unto his head, the beast immediately attacks yet before it could come near him he slams his swords to the ground creating dust. The she wolf hesitates but before it could jump away it managed to claw away a part of Kits' armor still the novice knight continued with this tactic, he kept on raising his sword on his head, he would either smash it to the ground or make a long slash towards the beast whenever it tried to come close, this time he made sure to stay in one place. All throughout the fight the she wolf kept tearing a part of the novice Knights armor, though almost unclothed Kit still managed to keep himself unscathed from the beast attack. He knew how dangerous it would get if was to be grazed by it, sensing his own limit he ready's his sword for his final attack, he knew that his plan was a long shot but against the beast that was able to take out his comrades he had no other option but to revert to this plan.
The She wolf became more agitated because of Kits dodging and defending. Immediately it lunges at the novice knight, claws and fangs bared. Again Kit slashes his sword before the beast could come close but because the beast was so familiar with his movements it was able to dodge it and with one flick of its paw it was able to snap away the sword he was holding, the novice Knight immediately fakes a faint and lays down, back on the ground. Kit kept his fingers crossed as the she wolf pounced on him; it growled as it sniffed him, he was now sweating, unarmed and unarmored.
"Awoooooo!" the she wolf howled in triumph while on top of the novice Knight.
Kits scent was all over the place because of his sweat and in one quick motion he removed his undergarments releasing a more pungent odor, the she wolf catches the smell of it. The beast immediately shifts position to sniffs at his sword of pleasure; this drove the she wolf into frenzy. Its wildness became different than before; it was now suddenly a bit docile yet still ferocious, a sign that it was in heat and ready to mate!
With a grin on his face knowing that his plan had work, Kit stayed still as the she wolf started its ritual; it was now up to his manly sword to make sure that the beast be pre occupied until morning.
When the sun came up though exhausted and panting for breath, Kit stood triumphant at the now transformed and sleeping female, proud and happy that he was victorious at stopping the rampage of the so called beast.
