Elias[/center][/color][/h1][hr]
Elias stepped forward as Alexis retreated, fluidly sliding past his partner and letting loose an aggressive cleave to buy Alexis time. The move smoothly transitioned into a switch of the fighters, seamlessly swapping out the two in a highly practiced maneuver.

The beast-like Wesen roared violently and fell to the earth on all fours, fully transforming into its bestial form. Deep orange and maroon fur sprouted down the creature's arms, legs, and back, tearing through the fanciful clothing that covered its body as muscle and flesh swelled beneath the fabric, pushing it past its limits. Glistening yellow fangs poked through the gnarled lips of the creature as whiskers quickly amassed around its oral area. After a long moment, the creature stood strong on its hind legs, towering a full twelve feet tall over Elias' much smaller form. A spiked tail flicked wickedly from behind the beast, lashing out over its shoulder and firing a row of three spines at the pair of Hunters.

Elias shouted in surprise as he lifted his arms up to shield his face, turning his back to the oncoming attack. The first spine narrowly missed, grazing the top of Elias forearm. The second projectile was far more accurate, burying itself deep into Elias shoulder and poking out on the other side of his arm. The third spine went wide, sinking into the turf by Hundar's hoof.

The accurate spine pierced flesh only, however it severely impaired Elias ability to use his left arm. With a growl of pain and anger, Elias swung back around, releasing his grasp on the handle of his scythe in favor of seizing the chain. The weapon clove wide, leaving a long, wide gash across the beast's chest and upper arm.

Elias quickly began swinging his scythe in a circular motion repeatedly, forming a spinning circle of metal and death around himself and Alexis to propel away the larger creature's attacks.

Holding his arm up high, the Grimm edged towards Alexis and Hundar, making sure to keep the scythe swinging high enough to not damage his partner. At the shouted command of Elias, Hundar knelt, bowing his head to the ground so that he would be under the sweeping reach of the scythe's chain.

Elias pulled close to Alexis and shouted out of her, checking to see if she was capable of combat. [color=royalblue]"Can you fight? We need to run, but we can't bring them back into town! People will die! And where's the damn bird?"[/color]
