"It's here!"

The two turned to see Morloth pointing as a terrifying creature, a silhouette in hazy green coming into light. The girl screamed and dropped her spear, and Column was choked in agony over what he beheld. Felicity had to admit, not even in Raiaera or Eiskalt did she see something as putrid as this?

Bare skin, coated in red blood, was sweating with green acid. The horse had a single eye on its forehead, a terrible green, as opposed the natural two eye of an average steed. Springing out of its back was a thing with the form of a humanoid, but far for frightening. The long arms were dragged on the ground, trailing behind the back legs of the monster. The head of the hominid was at least the size of a giant's as opposed to your average person. All the times Felicity cursed having a big forehead was nothing compared to the head dangling off the body like a tongue dangling from a dog's mouth. Even more horrifying, despite the bare red skin, tightly clung to bones, the head did indeed have eyes that seem to peer right through your soul. Indeed, Felicity was quite scared, and her magic affinity recoiling in pain did not help either.

If this truly was a familiar of Arius', then this was a crooked man.

The long arm slowly pulled itself up, Despite lacking muscle, the arm was lifted in the air. Morloth shouted, "It's going to attack! Dodge!"

With the speed of a viper, the arm lunged forward, muscle wrapped arm open to grab. Everyone dodged, however, as the man grabbed the bare ground. Felicity looked up, holding her bow, and noted how easy of a target the head was, especially through those massive eyes. However, as Felicity looked down at her bow, Column's words echoed in her mind. Truly, it was true that her arrows were not nearly as good as her bow. Her arrows shattered on impact before, they could again. She watched as Morloth's zweihander did nothing to pierce the thin arm as it retracted. With a jolt, Felicity realized this would not work.

"General Rhyolite!" Gemshine ran up to her clenching her mace, "What's the plan!"

Felicity gaped as the arm was lifted again, ready to aim. From the corner of her eye, Felicity spotted the frightened girl caught in such a dumb fear, she was obviously unable to dodge. Casting her bow aside, Felicity darted towards her and pushed her aside in time for the hand to grasp at nothingness. As the girl fell to the ground, Felicity skidded to halt. She barely managed to do that based on the speed of that arm. How long until the Nuckelavee started using other methods too?

Felicity turned to see Column was nearby, desperately clinging to his sword as the Nuckelavee reared for another blow. Felicity reached behind her back to pull another weapon out, darting to the cynical soldier. "Column!"
