It watched as the defiant little weeds raced toward him, the bold worms had the lack-there-of balls to actually attack it. Unable to curse with the lob lodged in its throat, the Horned Guard angrily screamed as they started to climb all over him and rip out his staples. “AAAAAH!” his cry was shrill with rage. A surviving Spirit managed to crawl from the hole in its cheek and grasping hand and toefuls of the creature’s tire-like neck fat, crawled down to its quivering breasts. It watched the Spirits who were assaulting it. Its eyes wide in shock. They were crazy, but as it glanced up at the Horned Guard it saw that their tactic was working. With hope suddenly flooding its small body, the Spirit climbed down to one of the staples below the Horned Guard’s last rib and pulled with all of its might—whatever that was. It arms felt numb and weak, and he pulled back, stretching them until they felt ready to snap like bands. In a fit, the Horned Guard began slapping at the Spirits on its stomach, swatting them like bugs. The strength of his hand clapping against its gut caused it to quiver, and when it started to swing its gut left and right to dislodge the creatures, the wild actions caused the seam of its gut to instantly rip. The Horned Guard’s belly burst open, snapping open as red tubes and organs spilled like a river across the basaltic floor. Some Spirits were caught up in the bloody river that flowed like a current of red syrup, carrying them across the ground in a torrent of intestines. The blood was darker than what any living thing’s would be and it started to spurt and bubble from its throat as the Horned Guard now not only choked on its food, but its own blood. Gurgling and burping, the Horned Guard’s head flopped forward, its horn-like antennae drooping as its non-existent chin connected with its chest to drool crimson down its breasts. The weight of the creature caused it to fold over, slamming face first into its entrails. There was a momentary silence as the Spirits would have the chance to realize their enemy had been vanquished. A small Spirit climbed from beneath its throat tire to crawl onto the back of the Horned Guard’s head. It stared down at the beast, stopping its foot on the back of its head to see if it were still alive.

If the Spirits had thought The Maw couldn’t smell any worse. The flatulence of a dead Horned Guard was no Febreeze. The blood, entrails, and body of the creature turned a stark-white before its form collapsed into a white, powdery pile. An ethereal breeze blew the powder away, leaving behind 35 glowing pearls (5 pearls per Spirit). The Spirits who would touch them would feel that they weren’t solid. They quivered like jelly and had the consistency of a gelatin. Through the translucent orb, they could see a milky power swirling within with stars like the Milky Way twinkling around it. The pearls silently spoke to their instincts. A seam would appear on their faces as their mouths would open for the first time for the purpose of taking in these mysteriously delicious spheres. You had never seen them before but for some reason, your belly ached for them. Your tongue desired to taste them. The Spirits who ate them would feel a change in their bodies. They would transform and they would find that they were larger perhaps the same height as the Horned Guard had been and their kin still trapped in the Spirit pin reached only their ankles. The death of the Horned Guard and the emergence of the strange pearls causing the lava pool of The Maw to stir. A brown, scaly fin rose out of the pool like that of a shark. It was three-feet tall and the lava rose in a massive hill over the back of a beast whose leathery wings unfurled from magma. The creature was coming, drawn by the essence it sensed had been spilled on the ground. It was coming to eat. [hr] [h3]Souls Awarded[/h3] [hider=Soul XP] [@Scarescrow] 5 Souls [@Tenma Tondo] 5 Souls [@Zamokra41] 5 Souls [@Duoya] 5 Souls [@Tominas] 5 Souls [@RyuShura] 5 Souls [@Holy Soldier] 5 Souls[/hider] [color=fff200][b]GM Note:[/b][/color] You all have each acquired 5 Souls. With these 5 Souls you can fill out 5 sections of your CS. 5 sections of your CS. Not 4. Not 6. Five sections of your CS. It can be any section. Automatically, you are allowed either one weapon OR one ability. Not both. The first soul devoured grants you the Rank Ascendant 1. The remaining 4 souls will go toward your gains. So keep track of the amount of Souls in your Soul Count. Once you get 10 Souls, you'll be at Ascendant 2. And when you get to Ascendant 2, you'll have the choice to once again pick 1 weapon or 1 ability not both, and with how many other extra souls, you can continue filling out sections of your profile, revealing more mysterious background information about your creation. I find this way to be fun because you're not outright revealing to other writers "This is my character." Instead they get to watch your character gradually remember, evolve, however you want to do it. [u]You must either drop your CSes in the OOC or PM them to me to be approved. Do not post your CS in the Character Thread if it hasn't been approved. I will be very disappointed in you.[/u] [color=ed1c24][b]Strategy:[/b][/color] Since this is your first time in my game, and this game can be Dark Souls-y. If you see a monster out of your rank, and we can say that your characters will be able to "feel" when a monster is out of their rank like a very strong/powerful power signature, then you can either run or you can attempt to fight it. I will not tell you what will be the best method, nor will I give it away with my character. Just use your brain. Not all bosses have to be fought and not all bosses die in the same manner. Each boss has a weakness and you just might not have it at the moment or it may happen by random circumstances.
