Birth of a Legend

Chapter 27: Fleeing a Nightmare

Standing before them, glaring at them with red emissive eyes, an overall size of half the size of one of the Blackmoor Mountains, is The Beast; It then looked particularly intently at Ty, who is still kneeling in pain and rigid with fear. Dust then said with a cracked voice "Ahrah?" Ahrah then replied "Master… this thing won't be effective from any known weapon, even Elysium Blades." Ty then found some voice in himself to reply "And Chrom has about 5 elemental sources; we need all eight in order to fight him…" The Beast glared at them aggressively, which Fidget, shaking like an out-of-control vibrating chair, said in a really high-pitched voice "I think we should run…" Dust then replied "For once, I agree in fleeing… RUUUNNN!" Dust grabbed Corbin before he fled with the others as The Beast chased them; despite his size, he catches them up, albeit slowly as the group fled from the seemingly unstoppable foe. Ty felt as he was running further north something familiar up ahead, when The Beast, tired of chasing them, decided to end it quickly by smashing his massive fist into the ground and the shockwave is steadily catching up on the group. Ginger then looked back over her shoulder and yelled "What do we do now?!" Ty noticed what seems like a grove up ahead and he asked the group "Can you guys swim?" Haley then bellowed "Of course we can swim if it call for it!" That was the answer Ty needs, because he picked up the whole group and didn't lose speed despite carrying 3 young adults, a child, an Elysium Blade and an orange nimbat in his arms and shouted "Trust me; it calls for it!" He threw them into the hole leading into a grove as the Shockwave caught up to him and flung him over the tree line and into a hole on the edge of the Blackmoor Mountains. The Beast, angry that his target had evaded him, roared so loudly that the ground shook and the hole leading into the grove had collapsed before he sunk into the shadows, reporting back to his creator.

Dust, Ginger, Haley, Fidget and Corbin, although are in a darkened area, are grateful that Ty saved them over himself, but Ginger felt that Ty didn't made it to the treeline; Fidget then felt a draft and turned to see a blue glow ahead and flew towards it, with Dust, Ginger, Haley and Corbin following behind. They came upon a small, cavernous room with glowing mushrooms similar to the ones underneath Aurora, but they're small, likely to be only young fungi; Dust knew they cannot stay in here, so Ahrah glowed bright blue, providing an excellent source of light and floated in the air towards a cavernous corridor, before turning towards the group and said "Looks like this way is the only option and it doesn't seem to be any hostiles… at least, those I can sense anyway. But I also sense… sadness. Grief. Loss. Be careful." Dust and the others nodded and they proceeded cautiously through the cavernous corridor.
