[url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5024233] Marcus’s[/url] effort was more successful than he had expected. Though the claw’s grip was firm, Marcus roared, pushed hard and shoved with his feet even harder. His heart was like a row of muskets shooting one after another in his chest and as the being lost it’s grip, Marcus flew backwards several yards. 

His fly through the room ended on a corner of a clot. Marcus bounced on the corridor and rolled a moment on the floor. There was a moment when he was on the floor as the clot fell over and it’s screaming patient fell with it, when Marcus was trying to figure out what had happened. Such a leap was not easy for Marcus, not even with a running start. But now the inhuman inside him had once again showed what Marcus could do. Monstrous strength. Beastial transformation. Wild instinct to hunt and attack. The body he had now felt more and more alien to him and he couldn’t promise that his mind was his either. 

Truly, he had awaken from a nightmare into another one far more real and horrible. To a world where he was wrong and everything was trying to kill him. But his problem  right now was the dark being, “Echo”. Instincts, whether his own or the sinister hunter inside him took over and he rose to face the assailant. It was roaring as it had almost fell backwards from Marcus’s kick, but it instead it fell forward and fell down on it’s all fours. And then like a beast, it ran on it’s four limbs and was coming to him. 

Marcus’s problem was that he was now without a weapon to fight against the being. And with his bare hands against the beast’s lethal claws there was nothing else to do but to evade the being. The labyrinth of cots was already broken from it’s beautiful symmetry and it was likely that the being would run over some cots to get Marcus. Nevertheless, he started to sprint. Run as fast as he could, trying to evade the beast with one column of cots between him and the raging being, aiming to get back to the cane. And closer to the Warrior, who was fighting against the beast.
