[center][h2]The Journey Begins[/h2][/center] [center][h3]~ Unknown Mountains ~[/h3][/center] [center][i]Interacted with:[/i] [@Rune_Alchemist][/center] The warrior woman reacted too late to the first attack, she barely blocked the spear thrust from the giant and was sent spiralling across the snow. Nick's heart fell at the sight but she was not out yet. In fact, she retaliated before the giants' could even follow up on their assault. With inhuman speed, she slashed at a giant's tendons and joints and rendered it practically paralyzed. She finished it off by cleaving her sword upon its neck. The last, combat-effective giant saw the writing on the wall and began to run away. But the warrior woman had no intention of letting it get away, she hurled her blade at the fleeing giant, spinning as it rode the air, before finding its target and the giant's head was split by the large sword and fell to the snow dead. The two giants that were still alive, the ones that pursued Nick earlier, succeeded in getting away and the small(?) skirmish was over. [quote]“...oh hey, almost forgot about you. Eh~ What’s a cute guy like you doing all the way out here by yourself? You get lost or something? Out hunting? You’re not very well dressed, but you don’t look like the cold bothers you at all, huh! You must be pretty powerful or somethin’ heheh!”[/quote] Nick opened his mouth to speak but as soon as the situation relaxed, his fatigue instantly caught up with him and his sight began blacking out. "[color=skyblue]You... thank you... for the save.[/color]" Nick forced out his gratitude as he panted. "[color=skyblue]I'm Nick and I... really screwed up... Goodnight.[/color]" Nick then collapsed in front of the warrior woman. Hopefully not for the last time.
