SpeaK chapter 8
" Neru! Its a Nemean lion!" Miku shouted at Neru.
" Eh? Then what do we do?" Neru replied.
" Can you shoot an arrow? Try aiming for the mouth!"
Neru didn't understand what Miku just said, and the lion sprang to attacked her. Neru quickly side-stepped to her right and tried stabbing at it this time.
The lion, annoyed by Neru's sword, brought its claws against he sword and sent it flying. The sword immediately starts to glow as soon as it was out of Neru's hand and by the time it hit the ground, it was back to a yellow hand phone.
I guess I have no choice but to do what Miku said. She reached into her dimension and pulled out a blue hand phone. It glowed and transforms into a bow, with a string and an arrows made of light. The lion slashed with its sharp claws again and Neru jumped onto a tree to avoid it. She releases an arrow, but it just bounces off the lion's side.
The lion turned to face Miku, who is just a few feet away from the tree she slept in, and stiffened its legs, ready to pounce. Miku took a defensive position, left foot in front of the right, shoulder width apart, legs slightly bent, center of gravity low, hands curled into a fist in front of her, bracing for the attack.
The lion finally attacked, and Miku threw a punch and it made made the lion stagger back.
But Miku's fist went through the air.
What made the lion stagger back, however, is a thick wood that rose from the ground. Controlled by Miku, of course.
The lion roared in anger and pounced again. And again Miku used a thick wood to punch it.
Neru saw the roar.
Oh! So thats what she meant. Smart. A piece of arrow made of light suddenly appear in her hands. Neru loaded her bow and called out.
"Miku!"
Miku took the risk of a quick glance. She saw the loaded bow. Huh, she finally understood. That was pretty slow.
Miku and the lion slowly circled each other, and Neru patiently waited on top of the low branch. Miku circled the lion in a steady pace.
As soon as the lion face directly at the tree Neru is on, Miku brought her hands and made a triangle in front of her. She adjusted her hand so that the lion is exactly in the middle of the triangle and then she said a phrase, a chant or some sort, which called for the help of the woods and trees surrounding her.
The trees obeyed her and soon thick roots from every single tree surrounding them shot out, binding the lion like a thousand pair of hands trying to strangle it, pulling it down.
The lion wriggled and wrestled, but the binding just got tighter. At last, it can not stand anymore. It roared in pain and Neru took the chance. She jumped off the tree to get a better and clearer view. She jumped off the tree, and released an arrow. It flew straight, straight down and into the lions roaring mouth. It went down the lions throat and pierced its heart.
The lion died that very second.
Neru landed and was greeted by Miku, "now thats good teamwork." Miku grinned as the bow on Neru's hands turned back into a blue hand phone.
Neru picked up her yellow hand phone that is laying in a patch of grass, and placed it back into her dimension. She did the same with the blue hand phone in her hand. Neru walked up to the dead lion, and took out a green phone. "Eh, what are you doing?" Miku asked her in confusion.
"who knows that it might be useful. Our linen armor might be really tough, but it still can be destroyed by some types weapons, right? But a Nemean lions skin wont be pierced. Ever. I dont think any weapon can tear a Nemean lions skin. Even my light sword and arrows dont work on it." she said as she started cutting and peeling off the dead lions skin from the inside.
It can not be cut from the outside, but it is possible from the inside. Neru cleaned her green dagger and placed it back in its place. She took the separated Nemean lions skin and placed it in her dimension.
Ill have to clean it later, I dont want it to be bloody inside my bag... The children call their dimensions a 'bag' since its too troublesome to call it a dimension, and they can easily talk about it even when other people is around, since they are calling it a 'bag'.
Both Neru and Miku walked together for a few moments before they said goodbye.
Miku decided to continue her sleep inside another tree while Neru continued on her way, convinced that she will have a peaceful sleep when the sun rose.
RL: how was that? a pretty good teamwork, right? *sigh* no R&R questions for this chapter. sorry if this chapter is short. its only about neru and miku fighting the nemean lion...
