Chapter 10: The Battle in the Woods

“Fizzls!” Gemil shouted. “To arms! Fight! Fight!”

The Freehold villagers, if not high level, were disciplined and well trained. Gemil moved north about ten feet to meet the furry creatures. Febus headed west. Young Lucious stayed in the rear and met the creatures. While I headed east about ten feet. The archers stayed in the middle of us as support, picking off the ferocious creatures as they could. Though with the thick foliage all around they would have to be careful where they shot their lethal arrows. Hearn, I noted, pulled his two handed broad sword from his back, slamming it point down into the forest loam. A dome of energy came up that surrounded himself and the two pack horses. I didn’t see Bondi and didn’t really have time to look where the young witch was as I was about to have my own problems.

Fizzls look like three foot long cats, with fanged teeth, razor sharp claws, and bright purple eyes. They are super-fast and can leap up to twenty feet. I barely had time to pull my mace when two of the creatures launched themselves at me. One leapt from a branch of a tree while the other shot up from a bush below me.

“Shield!” I thought as the bracer on my large forearm sprang open. But not nearly in time. The beast landed on my left shoulder, raked its claws across my face and swiftly bounded away before I could react. Stinging pain shot though me. A notification of damage ran in my peripheral vision.

“Don’t let them scratch you!” Angelica said in my mind. “Their claws have a toxin in them. Too much of that toxin and you will pass out and that will be it for you Mace.”

“Information I could have used three seconds ago?” I shouted sarcastically.

Meanwhile the other one had latched those razor sharp teeth into my leg. I started shaking my leg furiously in an attempt to dislodge it, but to no avail. Taking careful aim, not wanting to shatter my leg, I bent slightly, and slammed my mace onto the head of the creature. I heard an audible crack and the creature was dead. A few more shakes of my leg and the creature flew free. This was the first creature I killed in the game, and it felt good I had to admit.

“Don’t let them swarm you,” Bondi called out. “You’re a goner if they do.”

“Good shot Mace,” Angelica said. “While they have numerous offensive abilities, they die very easily. Usually one shot is all it takes. That’s if you can catch them.”

The one who scratched my cheek, at least I think it was the same one, flew at me again. When it was just a few inches from me its sleek body went rigged and it fell to the earth below like a dead weight.

“Kill it while it can’t move,” Bondi, holding a thin wand in her hand, yelled at me. I struck down and my mace caved in its chest.
