[h2]Dirk Messir[/h2]
The sounds of battle rang throughout the area of the tree. Or rather, the sound of one impossibly fast battle, and a few other battles seemingly aborted with the passage of time. Dirk wondered if he'd even need to implement his unique tactics at this point, having found nothing for a fairly notable amount of time.

And then the branches around him shook with the force of an immense impact. The monkey-person, who had just now landed in plain sight of Dirk, though he himself was not currently visible to the creature in question. Dirk quickly drew out two of the three cutlasses on his person, only to hesitate as the monkey-person grabbed a nearby tree branch that was possibly as big as the mansion Dirk had escaped from just a month ago, [i]suddenly doubled in size or more,[/i] and tore the branch out of the tree at the roots, wielding the chunk of wood near-effortlessly. Dirk, as with many slaves, was intimately familiar with the sensation of fear, in his case frequently mortal in nature; this familiarity was what kept him from being paralysed by the emotion, and instead led him to approach the thing from behind, silent as his Divine Purpose would allow, cutlasses bared and ready to strike.

Once he was close, and in a moment where the monkey-monster seemed to be entirely inobservant of its surroundings, Dirk struck with both cutlasses at once - one hacking into the upper portion of what seemed like the creature's primary arm, in an effort to make it drop its newfound weapon out of pain, and the other plunging knife-like into its back as deep as he could manage with a single thrust. His strikes made, and knowing full-well that sticking around to see what damage had actually been dealt to the hideously strong ape-man was a poor choice, he pulled the weapons free and ran as fast as he could, making for the nearest set of cover-rich branches in an effort to hide, make an escape aided by his Divine Purpose, figure out whether the thing might have actually been crippled by his assault if he was lucky, and above all else, desperately, [i]desperately[/i] hoping it wouldn't catch up to him.
