Tetras was caught off-guard as suddenly the large bird whipped around, a speed seeming too great for a bird of that size and being from the wild as it clasped onto his greatswords. What the hell was this thing? His swords barely even left a scratch. He had never faced such a creature that could take both swords head on and barely flinch. It was almost like a fod with a stick in its mouth. Completely surprised, Tetras tried to pull his swords away with all his might but it was useless. It was very strong, very fast, and smarter than the average creature. What has he gotten himself into? If this was the thing that kept attacking the carts, he knew why they never came back. This was a freak of nature and magic, and it had stumbled onto their cart. He was throw back onto the ground, landing barely on his feet in awe of the creature as he picked himself back up. The beast jumped back, and Tetras had just enough time to prepare himself as he watched the bird jump back and a fireball hit him in the back. A fireball? Wherever it came from it didn't seem to do much, but by the looks of it, it came from one of his party members. Sadly, it didn't do much of any damage, and the bird seemed to have cast a annoyed glance a best. The giant bird flapped its wings, a huge gust of wind blowing over the cart as it zoomed straight at him, cutting through trees like twigs on its way. It could rip apart a forest with no problem? Tetras watched the bird, seeing how fast it went, the patterns in its approach. It was like a bull, charging. Very fast, very powerful, and could kill. But, it probably couldn't change directions easily, or on a dime, going that quickly. Tetras took all this in, studying his opponent. He knew he had to face this with an open mind, and treat this seriously now. Tetras leaped out of the way, throwing himself to the side as the large bird zoomed past him. If it wasn't for his superhuman reflexes and his massive leap, he wasn't sure if he would have made it, catching him off guard like that. But in the little time he got to watch, and watching it pass by him, he had a plan. Scanning his surroundings, he found a large rock not far away from the clearing they were in. Maybe if he got to that... It might be smart, but he would have to outsmart it if he wanted to do some real damage. He booked it to the rock, which was about two to three times the size of him. A boulder really, but it would do. If the bird didn't chase him to it, he would put himself in front of the Rock and taunt the bird. Then, he would wait until the precise moment to jump as high as he could in the air, dodging out of the way and trying to stab his swords into the beast, preferably the head. If he didn't have time to stab it, he would jump slightly backwards so he could stab the beast in the underbelly. If in fact he was running and it turned to follow him, he would try to at least backflip over the beast and stab it as it flew past. And if all else fails and it turned and got to him quickly, dodge out of the way and not get skewered. He was determined not to die to a wild creature, and even more determined to slay it if he could. There was shame in running, but if he had to, living to see another day was important.
