That rat bastard Barthen set me up![/i] Antaeus had wanted a Quest worthy of proving himself to the captains, something to show them he had what it took to [i]become[/i] a Hero, but this--This was something he doubted some full-fledged adventurers could pull off! A creature this size... Yet that girl wrestled upon the beast with seemingly no concern for such things. Who was she? Some other adventurer, a [i]real[/i] Hero, come to take this Quest for herself? No. On second glance, she didn't really seem to be causing the White Stag much inconvenience--it just couldn't reach her with its teeth, hooves, or those terrifying antlers at the moment. Wait. Its antlers...that black coat, or whatever it was...An idea sprung to Antaeus's mind. Carefully he slipped his javelin back into the side pocket of his backpack--he would still be able to grab it quickly, but he needed both hands free. Neither of the two combatants were focused on him at the moment, so he made his way to the nearest tree and began to climb. Just fifteen feet or so would do it, so there was no need to rush...Once he had a firm foothold on the branches he began to edge out closer, trying to get as close to directly over the White Stag and the mysterious silver-haired girl as possible...
