“By the great sage!”
A giant purple worm exploded from the ground, knocking the three travelers from their horses. The young woman in front, Victoria, had barely managed to get that out. She should have been paying attention, but she was occupied with a book on the Blood War.
She quickly rose to her feet and checked on her companions. Nira was getting up, dusting some gravel off her tight black dress. She always dressed inappropriately for traveling, Victoria could hardly believe they shared the same mother. Nira was a child of the Great Serpent, and had the yellow eyes to prove it. It did tend to add to her sex appeal though, and she never had a shortage of men around her.
Victoria on the other hand, was quiet and rather timid. She tended to wear long robes and heavy cloaks that hid her figure. All those years in the magic academies learning of the Great Stream and how to wield it didn’t do much for her social life. In fact, this was the first time she’d been outside the walls of the Arcane Order in many years, and she really didn’t want to go waltzing around the wilderness.
Onyx was fine, he never really fell. His wings prevented him from any real damage. His dark skin reflected nicely against his pure white wings and a loose white toga. Onyx was the first to act, he gave a quick prayer to the Divine Mother and brought down hot fire against the worm.
Nira traced a pentacle in the air and launched a n eldritch blast of utter darkness. The worm screeched in pain, and knocked into the trees as it fell to the ground with a cloud of thick dust. Then it rose and screeched again as it launched itself forward trying to swallow Nira whole.
Victoria called upon her arcane knowledge and spoke words in a language as old as the world itself. Nira put her arms up in a useless gesture of self-defense. She prayed that her enchantment worked.
The worm was millimeters away from Nira, mouth gaping, ready to swallow her. It had been held. Nira slowly put her arms down and began to laugh. She then walked into the creatures mouth and stabbed her Falchion into where the creatures brain should be.
The rest of the trip to the land of Wascyr, and its capital Irithdyr, was uneventful. Victoria needed to needed to contact the Irithian Knights for an escort through some of the dangerous badlands towards the arcane order, then on to the Forbidden Lands in the frozen north. Nira, had insisted on coming along when Victoria stopped by Irithdyr the first time on her way to the archeological dig. They had met Onyx in their travels and decided to travel together for protection. < I got tired during these last few paragraphs, I know they suck
