The last ride was the log ride and it was an absolute nightmare for Syb. Fast moving ride with a killer drop? Not his cup of tea. Like all log rides it had water and involved a massive splash at the very end of it. Luckily for Syb he was sitting BEHIND Nika (mostly because he was afraid but also cus Nika wanted to ride in the front) so he didnt get wet. Nika? A face full of water.
Getting off the ride Syb was dry. A couple of drops at best tapped his body. Nika on the other hand was dripping wet. Her upperbody was practically drenched and water was still dripping off her face but she had a massive smile. She enjoyed. A lot. She and Syb walked over to a bench where they sat down. (Mostly because of Syb's jelly legs.) They sat and talked about the experince they were having and their thoughts during the ride. Mid conversation the wind blew. Nika shivered.
"Oh shoot."Syb said as he took of his pinstriped jacket. "Here take this."
Syb wrapped his jacket around Nika's shoulders but Nika was more focused on Syb. Under his jacket his form really stood out. His body was toned. His sleeves wrapped around his muscles and his shoulders popped. His shirt highlighted his form. He was built like an athlete whos been training for years. In short, damn.
"Nika?"
Nika snapped out of it.
"Uh yeah!" Nika fumbled. "Thanks!"
Syb gave her a confused look.
"I asked what you wanted to eat." Syb replied.
"Oh yeah!" Nika said giving him an awkward laugh. "I saw some turkey legs that looked good."
"Alright." Syb said standing up. "I'll be back."
Nika watched as Syb walked away.
"This suit is not doing him justice." She said to herself. "But it does smell nice."
Nika wrapped the jacket around her tighter. It smelled like roses and it was so warm. Since she was so tiny, it reached her thighs and wrapped around her like a burrito. Nika was enjoying her time. She sat and watched the glowing lights and listened to the clasiscal music that filled the air. From the corner of her eye she saw something move. She turned to see at the very end of the street a man walking. He was chubby and he wore a dark green bomber and blue jeans. He wandered forward staring away from Nika hiding his face.
"Hello?" Nika called out to him slowly standing up. No other person should be able to move in the rift and Nika was well aware of this. Syb explained clearly that life doesnt continue unless she passes or redeems, but that guy is definately.... moving.
"Hello?" She said again this time standing in the middle of the road.
In the distance the man stopped moving. He slowly turned to face Nika, and thats when the fear rushed through her.
He had glowing white eyes. He roared at her and it sounded like a yell of 10 different people all at the same time. His fingers grew into claws made of white light. He charged right at her.
Nika knew she should run. Her mind was screaming at her to run away but she was paralyzed in fear.
He lunged at her and she shut her eyes and braced herself.
DING
Nika opened her eyes. Syb stood in front of her, steel cane in hand. The thing lunged at him and he swatted it back with swordman like finese. He swung at it again but this time it ducked beneth the cane and slashed him in the chest. Syb let out a grunt of pain and trusted his open palm towards the thing. A bright pulse of golden light appeared knocking the creature onto its back. Syb quickly snapped around and pulled Nika into an embrace. He ripped open a portal and he dived through it.
