Prompto did his best not to collide into the girl, but he couldn't correct his footing in time.
To the amazement of all present, Sarah managed to catch him, and in a hug no less.
"U-uh, yeah!" Prompto could scarcely get the words out. Over her head, he could see Ignis raising a skeptical brow while Noctis had a light smirk tugging at his lips. Nothing was said to embarrass him, but Prompto felt his cheeks redden.

"Sorry, I...uh...lost my footing." Laughing nervously, Prompto rubbed at his arm and managed a smile to thank the girl for the help and advice. For the rest of the journey, he took care to avoid anything that would cause him to stumble or fall.

"Higher ground would be ideal." Ignis agreed, eyeing the clearing. He appeared perfectly calm, his mind calculating the possibilities of how much space they would have to fight the creature. There were a few trees scattered about, along with plenty of rock formations varying in size. The air felt damp, and a thick fog hung close to the ground, making anything below their knees impossible to see. 

"Get ready. He's here." Gladiolus motioned for Prompto to step aside. At any moment, the beast would show itself.

Prompto felt a bit of relief when Sarah went to higher ground. He didn't want her getting too close to Deadeye, and he felt she would be safer there. "You be careful too," he told the girl, giving her a thumbs up. "Remember, both eyes open! You got this."

Noctis's fingers twitched with anticipation. The closer they got, the more he could see. Scattered bones littered the ground, many resembling chocobos. Deadeye was nowhere in sight. The largest rock formation lie ahead of them. When Noctis looked closer, he saw that it was a mouth of a cave. The monster had to have been inside.

[i][b]BOOM.

[i]Or not.

Rather than reside inside of the cave as Noctis thought, Deadeye was perched atop the formation.
The jagged rocks did their work to hide him until his mighty form dropped down in the center of the clearing. 
A whoosh of dirt and fog shot out around him, the ground quavering underneath his weight.
Saliva dripping from his mouth, Deadeye let out a mighty, angry roar before charging right for them.
