The creature continued to search, which only seconds later, its eyes locked on to the pink-haired fairy, who once again had been spotted just on the outer edge of the dust, drawing the Roc's attention like a magnet. With a determined fury, the roc began its descent, its massive wings beating rhythmically, causing the dust to disperse. The air cleared, revealing an opportune opening as the roc landed, aiming to seize its elusive prey the fairy, ready to satisfy the hunger of her hatchlings. The roc, now towering in all its glory over the small being, the beast lowered its head, attempting to devour her. During all the cacophony and whirlwind going about, the missing wolf was adrift in his own mental space. His body still reeling heavily from the Roc’s intense shriek and the blow to his back adding to Menzai’s disorientation. Unable to do anything but try to sense the area though some strange cloud mixed with the furious wisps of wind threatening to tear trees from root made getting an understanding difficult. This on top of all the kicked up dust stinging his eyes; vision still hazy and his throat which stung like cracked cement. There wasn’t a part of his body not in pain or discomfort, but Menzai ignored and pushed through it, forcing his body to obey his desperate whims even when the taste of copper lined his tongue. Through sheer force of will, the wolf pushed himself onto shaky feet. A small relief as his vision finally cleared though, what he would see would make him immediately wish otherwise. He could not make out everything with the Roc’s continuous fierce wing flaps and dust cloud created by the brothers, he figured. At this point the situation has only gotten worse and would only continue to do so unless they somehow got to the massive bird relent in its attack. The concern for the group and his village raged in him like the surrounding storm. Most frustrating of all was how useless he was; all due to his failure of not getting proper control as merely standing was all he was capable of. Many thoughts went through his mind like multiple film reels as Menzai attempted to work out what to do next…. Then the air cleared and from this he caught sight of Phia and….his mind went blank. All sense of pain vanished save for a single cold chill that seeped down his spine as if icy fingers tried to freeze him from within. Menzai knew his body was in no shape to be making any strenuous movements, but in this instant none of it mattered. Whatever the outcome, he refused to sit there and so, purely by instinct his body reacted. Every muscle in his body and senses were forcibly tuned to their max as the tiny red glints of his eyes enlarged thrice their size until his eyes were like those of a menacing predator. Without warning, a loud thunderous crack as the branches Menzai stood upon cracked and shattered beneath the determined wolf’s feet, flying through the air; for Phia he would seem as if appearing out of nowhere as he used a single hand aiming to shove her out of the way. With a loud crack echoing in the air, the roc clamped its powerful jaws down on Menzai's arm, shattering the bones in its grasp where Phia once stood. The roc whipped it’s massive head, violently ripping Menzai's arm from his body flinging him aside. For the second or third time, Menzai found himself blacking out briefly and like before could not tell what had happened exactly. As all the pain was made worse from the immense stress he just put his body through. The only two things he was conscious of was the lack of weight on his left side and Phia’s face. Her features blurred heavily from his vision gradually darkening. A small smile curved his lips before everything went black. [/color]
