The initial ascent granted by the spectral giraffe, quite frankly, startled Samuel, who still had what happened to Breacher fresh in his mind. But it took merely a heartbeat before Samuel realized he wasn't about to be whisked into the air and crushed, and that Breacher's child had been the one to give them a lift. 

"Appreciated" 

--or at least that is what Samuel wanted to say. With the cacophony of locust and grunts, some of which were coming from himself, he didn't have the chance, instead spending that breath on yet another stroke of his sword. 

As sinister as his grin seemed while fighting, he wasn't sure he could keep this up forever. There were, after all, quite a lot of locust buzzing around, and swords weren't the optimal thing to be using to deal with them. It was exhausting. He could feel his arms burning in disapproval of the sheer amount of swings he was asking of them. It was also difficult for him to tell exactly how helpful he was even being.

He chose to cut down more locust, straining himself even harder to keep them off of his allies, hoping this defense would prove beneficial while they desperately sought a way to avoid the coming plague. No time to wait for their cavalry, unfortunately, so things had to be done by the people right here right now. Ashley at least seemed to notice something of importance, though whether it'd lead them to victory remained to be seen. 

He could only trust that what his allies noticed would help them succeed in defeating this abomination. The plague-bringing abomination was certainly awesome, durable, and strong. Not unlike how he imagined himself many years ago. Invincible, as if he were some sort of 'god' above his fellow students. A crime karma would not let go unpunished, and yet it was that very same day he had come to learn something: that even 'gods' can fall.  

So what if this one was somewhat taller?
