Grinning as I walk into the quiet town, a woman seemed to be waiting for me. She was on the plump side, with long purple hair. She had a smile of relief on her face as she saw me walk. "Are you the S Rank Mage, lass?" Nodding once, "Can you tell me about the beast that's been harassing your town, like what it looks like or how many people it's killed or injured?" I prompt her quickly.
The woman nodded her face turning grim. "It hasn't killed any of the villagers... Yet. Many have been seriously injured though. None have died from those injuries. Those that came back conscious describe it as a cat like beast, with sharp fangs and a nasty pair of claws that could tear metal like butter. It's hide is very dense and nothing could pierce it... As for mages like yourself they mainly meet a terrible en..." She cut herself off probably mad because she might have scared me away. Her eyes shifting to my own.
I grin at her and quickly say, "Well then looks like I've got a fun job on my hand... Is there any herbal type of shops I can go to? Now that I have a little more information I'd like to prepare. No worries, by tomorrow your town shall be monster free."
The woman's shoulders relaxed pleased and content with my confidence. "Good on ya lass, by your words I should have the pay ready by then. Oh, and as for that herbal shop... Miss Rivers down the road probably has what you need, she has all kinds of odd remedies and herbs for the strangest things, she's apparently dating her supplier. Her shop's called by her own name so you can't miss it."
Smiling at her once more I follow her extended hand waving as I go. "Good Luck! Lass, you'll need as much as you can get to face a nasty beast like that..."
...
Sighing as I exit the shop giggling following me before the door finally closes. I fix my hair quickly. "Some people..." Does anybody know about personal space anymore... Finally reaching the edge of town, I feel my butterflies disperse around my own body.
"Look for anything that matches the description that the mayor gave us." The rainbow of color once again dispersed this time into the large forest surroundings. I sit down and wait allowing drops of color to build into my hand. Forming a blue dolphin in a green sea in one hand, and I form a pink ring in the other. I then make the dolphin swim through the hoop.
My ten minutes of wait was spent like this, creating shapes with the light magic. The butterflies flooded around me, most of them weaved through the trees showing me the way. Twin green butterflies stayed and started to merge into my skin returning to their inky shapes.
Two butterfly silhouette tattoos form on my clavicle and at my heels two green sets of wings, one either side. The wings start to flap slowly and gracefully and I was lifted off the ground by seven inches. I started to almost skate across the air weaving through the trees following my multicolored companions.
I followed them into a clearing, and start to hear soft footfalls. Growling ensues from the right edge of the glade we were now situated in. The butterflies flying pattern had gotten more erratic going over and around my body trying to keep a barrier between me and the ominous noise. Signaling with my arm they once again dispersed around the woods, to form a ring around the area of me and the mysterious beast.
I fall six inches, and my green helpers go to help their brethren. Suddenly the footfalls stopped from an area behind me. Turning around as slowly as possible, I see the creature that had terrified so many villagers...
A/N: ... And Cut! Sorry about the cliff hanger that's just how I naturally find an end to the cohesive idea. -jamiencompany
