Deravan was moving forwards when they got to the desert. The heat was not really his friend here. Why did they have to be in a desert for crying out loud. He moved forwards until his eyes adjusted and saw something move in the ground. The thing suddenly jumped at Robert. A living cactus? He must have been seeing thing. He frowned as she quickly moved with his katana, and moved to the creature at a blinding speed. Not taking any chances, he quickly strikes the cactus hard right at it's head. The thing seemed to be a large scream as the blade plunges at the left side of it's head, dealing quite some damage. Deravan then remove his blade, looking surprised at the strike he just did.
"Dang.... that blade really packs quite a hit!"  he says as suddenly the cactus used some kind of magic on him. It seemed to be a large blast of... water? Deravan quickly moved, as the blast actually made the cactus miss from the force, making it push back from the side a bit. Probably cause of the strike Deravan inflicted on the thing. Deravan then fumbled onto the ground, having barely dodged it still.
"Woah... that was close..." he says as he then gets back into battle position.
