Mura kept walking along, humming a small tune of her own design and stroking her new cat. As she kept walking, she began noticing that something was off in the city; the cars had stopped moving, there were no people about and the only sound was her humming and a slow rumble from something large behind her. Stopping her journey out of town and looking behind her revealed the truth of what was happening in town. A large stuffed bear - a lot bigger than any normal toy - was slowly stomping its way towards her and it's eyes had a dark look of death. That definitely couldn't be good, especially since the only weapon Mura has was a scalpel. There was only 1 option for her to do at this point; run. And so that was exactly what she did. Turning on an axis, she began to sprint along the street and away from the beast that was chasing her.
Her hoody and hair bounced with every step she took as she ran, the constant beating of footfalls behind her beckoning ever closer. For something of it's size it shouldn't have been moving so fast; but somehow it was. She reached the end of the street, and was almost immediately caught up to by the monstrous being. It took it's arm and claws erupted from it, swinging downwards and smashing into the ground were Mura was. She rolled out of the way and began sprinting once again to the left, placing the cat atop her head for easier movement. Then it came crashing beside her - a large ball of stuffing. Glancing behind and realising what had happened, the stuffing exploded, throwing her against the ground and leaving a crater in the ground. The bear then ripped a whole in it's chest and pulled another ball out, only to throw it with all it's might directly at Mura. Jumping from the ground, she tried to run again with the added force of the explosion to help, and it worked.
Her cat bounced atop her hoody as her feet pounded against the asphalt, creating louder and more frequent sounds as she ran. Mura turned a corner and into an allyway, being cornered by the bear once again. It's claws ripped fourth from it's arm and it came to swing from the right, but she ducked. But a little too late. The bear's arm collided with her cat and it flew from her head, hitting the wall and falling into a puddle. She watched as the water soaked up into her new pet; ruining the fabric and the toy itself. Her eyes widened as she realised what had happened and she began feeling something she had not felt in a long time; anger.
"Please forgive me Mr. Bear, but you are really pissing... me... OFF!" she yelled at the beast, almost instinctively reaching for her bag and drawing the card.
"Face your solemn pilgrimage with courage and respect, my friend, for at the end of the road enlightenment awaits you...""Major Arcana IX - The Hermit"
Her clothes changed to a strange new
dress and she felt a new set of furry ears twitch above her head. A wide smile grew across her face as she realised one of her many wished had come true. In her hands a pair of
blades formed and she swung them a few times to get a true feel to their weight.
"I am truly sorry for this, my friend, but sins like this only God may judge." she said to the bear that now looked extremely confused. She aimed the blade to the pipe next to the bear and took a test shot, ricocheting the bullet off of the metal and slamming it into the bear; ripping a whole clean through it. Then she swung the blades a few more times for practice before readying herself for combat.
