Siren's Summit
Zahra & Ilham
It was pride that turned angels into devils
To her delight, and right on cue, the forest erupted with the frantic movement of the very creature they were hunting. The sinus ambulo was a fearsome looking creature, but Zahra was unfazed as springing knees carried her along behind.
She has seen enough of them by now to understand that they were passive, so as it collided with the lovely web she and Ilham had created she barrelled on towards it with a widening grin upon her maw. “Yes!" She cried aloud, bursting at the seams with relief, and glance thither to engage the more sedate expression of the stallion. “You have to somehow hold it down," she insisted, summoning both his strength and stubbornness to aid, and while it struggled helplessly ensured upon the saturated earth she circled to examine it.
It was still the most peculiar beast she could say she’d ever crossed paths with. The others of its type all looked similar, though the shrubbery that sprouted near each joint varied in density and shape (not enough that she could recall whether they’d tried to catch this one before). Its pointed, branch-like limbs flailed about precariously and Zahra worked hard to avoid each harrowed swing, dodging and pivoting with the glassy fringe of flight feathers flared to help her balance. Baldness spanned the ugly length of its face - so to the lower extremities and the cone-like structure of its poll. The discerning-eyed mare assessed it all carefully, before deciding at last -
“I don’t think we need to kill it!"
There was enough of it available to merely strip a slice free, and with a contemplative sigh, her thoughts embarked on that next journey. Trusting that Eleos was committed to lending help, she swerved sharply to catch the trailing end of the web as it slithered by. Breaking into a hasty trot, she proceeded to circle the creature and bind it’s flailing limbs (if she were able), into a neat pyramid in the air - chances were it would be easier to wound if it lay stranded upon its back.
