A foul presence, more immediate was nearby, something so cruel that Sukoh's heart twinged in pain. Many lives had been taken by this creature, and it had appeared from nowhere. Was it like him? Was this abomination a dark spirit? The titan swung around mid stride and saw a beast that was at eye level with his four legged posture, a horrid beast of unnatural anatomy. A cruel freak of nature with a spirit as black as coal, Sukoh's teeth clenched tightly. This thing was here for him, he just knew it. There was no coincidence that it showed up once he had left the forest, someone was watching him. It seemed impossible that he had failed to sniff it out but he had been tunnel visioned one the one who had done the killing before so now he was about to regret it. Someone or something had been behind him, or this thing had just appeared out of nowhere. That means that there was either a summoner or this monster could teleport. He really hoped it was the former, a teleporting creature would prove dangerous. No, Sukoh would have to ignore it for now, there was something of a more immediate threat nearby. And it was inside of a town where people could die, Sukoh would have to deal with the second problem when it arose. Reluctantly his head whipped around back to the town and began running again. Hopefully this thing wasn't faster than he was, because if it was then he'd have a problem. Though if it wasn't faster than he was then it would never catch up to him by the time he attacked the first threat. In the distance a voice cried out, returning Sukoh's cries of anger. It was- It was happy? The monster who had killed the innocent enjoyed it. They're sick and evil, and Sukoh was getting angrier by the second. "You will wear my jaws as a crown as I bite your head off!" This roar was his loudest yet, as he approached the town's farthest perimeter his feet felt uncomfortable on the ground. As though some dark influence was over them, was this being a mage? It spoke animal tongue and the ground felt disgusting to his toes. Some powerful creature lied ahead and Sukoh was the only thing standing between it and the lives of these people. The bear was almost inside the town and he could see his target standing atop a statue, a sadistic creature he was. Donned in cruel armor and with a wicked face full of everything wrong with the world. An elf man with cruel intent and the smell of freshly spilled blood on the air. "You!" Sukoh wasn't close enough to strike him, but he was near enough to speak face to face. The spittle from his roar sprayed through the air as Sukoh locked eyes with him from a distance.
