Dark vs. Light

I follow a bit behind, keeping watch at the rear.  

[neodrac54]

I stopped, sniffing the air. Something smelled weird. And not the good weird... It was unnerving.  

[gandygirl116]

Where we were it was good that we were in the trees. The ground had turned to soft mud and something smelled terribly strange.  

[Shadow_Blazer_rulz]

I didn't have a good sense of smell, but I could smell something weird.  

[neodrac54]

My eyes narrowed as I stared at the ground. Cautiously, I broke a stick and dropped it, the stick disintegrating in the mud. I frown but continue on, speeding up. Something was very wrong here... and we would find out what at the end of this scent trail.  

[Shadow_Blazer_rulz]

I saw one of the others speed up, so I sped up. Worried, I sank even lower.  

[neodrac54]

I hadn't noticed it, but I was growling, the low rumble building in my throat. Whatever was going could get me to unconsciously growl? The though confused me, but I didn't drop my speed, just became more cautious, quieter.  

[Shadow_Blazer_rulz]

I had a weird sense that I was going to smack face-first into something big.  

[gandygirl116]

And he does. Right in front of him is a giant, sleeping beast. It isn't a centaur, but its definitely part horse. I take a step closer to it, sniffing it to place the smell. He has a strong odor but he doesn't stir. It seems to be in a deep sleep.  

[neodrac54]

I freeze when I spot the beast... I've heard of it.. Though it doesn't have a name, people from my village called it an elf-eater. Warily, I step forward, hoping to go around it.  

[gandygirl116]

It stays asleep as we tiptoe around it. We make it on the other side of him, passing. As I take another step, his eyes open, and I freeze.  

[neodrac54]

I was still on the process of going around hi, so it could see me if it turned it's head just a little bit. I stand, frozen, eyes closed as I hope it just goes back to sleep.  

[Shadow_Blazer_rulz]

I shook my head a bit after I smack into what my kind called a "Jagory beast" though it is not its real name, I saw it open it's eyes and look down a bit. I froze, but I changed my scales colors again to match the scenery around me.  

[neodrac54]

I watched as our dragon friend disappeared, cursing silently. What I wouldn't give to be able to do that at the moment. Instead, I focused my attention on the elf-eater. These things had horrible eyesight... Unless you moved. It was better to stay still and not make a sound, because then they normally couldn't find you. At least I hoped that story was true... Most Dark Elves who met this thing never came back.  

[Shadow_Blazer_rulz]

I had moved silently to my comrade and moved in front of her. I revealed my face to show the beast couldn't see her if she moved, but that was because I had my wings spread out enough to cover anything in front of me.
