Eldarin paused a moment, confused by Vane's hesitation. There was an enemy in front of them! Eldarin had killed many times before, fought wolves, carnivorous plants, walking tress, and a giant wolf to get here. He wasn't about to stop now. Still if Vane's slowness could cost him and the sound of scuttling legs quickly alerted Eldarin to the startling speed of the monster. Reacting on instinct to the attack he knew would have devastating power behind it, Eldarin rolled backwards, taken advantage of his downward and backward momentum to move him out of the way, then his roll to get some distance. How could he beat this thing by himself? With great difficulty. [b]"Vane snap out of it!"[/b] Eldarin barked at him, eyes locked on the abomination, awaiting its next move. This time he would counter attack. Well, probably.
