[color=fff79a]“I’d like you in the front, mister Kharne. Keep vigilant, please.”[/color] Annya had told the dragonborn in response to his question, straightening from her bent-over position. Her gaze flickered to the red-haired girl, who introduced herself as Shae. Annya gave her an encouraging smile as she introduced herself. The girl did not seem too sure of herself, her gaze lowered to the floor as she spoke. However, she had a fantastic list of skills that kept Annya’s opinion of the girl in high favor. With so little life experience, she certainly hadn’t wasted a lick of it, well trained in combat and in weapons. She was sure she could not fall in step with her or Kharne, but she had a good foundation that would speed up the process of learning.

[color=fff79a]”Pleasant to meet you, Shae. Your abilities have been within your grasp the second you reached Avalia. I’d like to teach you how to use them as soon as possible, but perhaps not in the thick jungle. Don’t want you lighting the trees on fire or hitting the others with lightning bolts.”[/color] Annya explained to her with a laugh. She noticed Shae had glanced at Raven often. After digging in her brain for a moment, she recalled that they had come through together. The two were already acquainted. She wondered if that would hinder things or make them easier. Annya scoped their surroundings, then continued walking. She replied to Raven, [color=fff79a]”Ah. The city of Chicago. I’d like to go someday. Sounds fun there.”[/color] Raven’s words got more confusing as she spoke. She had no idea what a video game was either, but Annya decided to let it go as the jungle had gotten quieter than she liked. It was time for her to be more vigilant and ignore Raven’s bizarre statements.

Annya’s eyes widened as Ismael questioned if there were any predators they’d have to worry about. She had been hoping perhaps they wouldn’t think of that, in the lovely situation they did not encounter anything and she could keep the humans calm. There was no honor in lying, so she decided to just tell them. [color=fff79a]”Well Ismael. There are various creatures that can be potentially dangerous. If we run into one, I’ll let you know if we can handle it or if I think we should run for it. Trust Kharne and I’s judgment and remember to stay behind us so we can protect you.”[/color] She said then addressed Raven, [color=fff79a]“I don’t want you to have to fight yet, Raven. Focus on staying safe.”[/color]

As if the Gods were taunting them, the branches began to crack. Annya paused and straightened out an arm to signal the others to pause with her. Slowly, she pulled her axes out from her back and gripped them firmly, her eyes darting as they scanned their surroundings. The axes were already starting to glow with light as she imbued them. It was difficult to perceive where the sounds were coming from, meaning whatever was coming had friends. She shut her eyes for a split second to hone in on the sound then whirled to face behind them, trusting Kharne to manage the front. 

She let out a sigh of relief as her eyes took in the mossy-green troll that had approached. Though, she knew that the humans probably had a completely different reaction. She had no idea if there were foes such as these on Earth. Compared to what they could have run into, this was a walk in the park. Annya had killed many trolls in the past. She knew to be wary of their claws, their regeneration, and their strength. Annya’s eyes narrowed as the troll ran for Raven and picked her up, preparing to eat her.

Raven stared into the face of the upside-down troll, trying to process what the hell was going on. Slowly the panic began to rise in her as she let out a blood-curdling scream. Suddenly a shockwave of wind burst from her, surprising the troll and throwing him slightly off balance.

Annya stumbled back but quickly regained her footing. She wasted no time and quickly hurled one of her axes forward towards the troll’s leg. She thrust herself forward and glared back at Shae and Ismael for a moment to warn them, [color=fff79a]” Stay back! Hide!”[/color]

The troll cried out as the axe tore deep into his calf. Blood pouring down his leg, he roared and tossed Raven toward Annya’s. His eyes alit with fury, he dashed towards Annya. 

Annya had moved to catch Raven despite knowing her weight would throw her back. She slammed back into the ground and bit back a groan. Pushing her to the side, she scrambled back up to her feet, [color=fff79a]” Join the others.”[/color]She ordered then called out, [color=fff79a]”Return!”[/color]

Her ax tore itself from the troll’s leg, leaving a seared wound, making him stumble in surprise. It flew through the air back into her grasp and she readied herself for his next move.
