I was gripping my side as tight as I could as I ran through the woods. The pain was immense at first, but for some reason it has dulled since I started running. I looked down and could see something that should be INSIDE of me peeking through my fingers to the OUTSIDE. ๐๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ค๐ญ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ? ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐บ.
Snarf had hit me hard and fast, and without my zombie meat shields to keep it busy I didn't last long. It was able to tear through the Snarf hide I was wearing like tissue paper. I guess its claws are harder than its hide. I'm definitely screwed here.
Some might wonder why I didn't just start casting spells. Well there is a simple reason, there was a GIGANTIC FUCKEN SNARF ATTACKING ME. I was lucky to pull back enough to not get bisected when it lunged at me.
The phenomenon that slows my perception of time did kick in, unfortunately all that did was let me know how totally fucked I was for a painfully long amount of time. While I could see it coming, my body was not able to move fast enough. After it hit me all I could think of was to keep my insides in and run away as fast as I could from that clearing.
Snarf seemed to be taking its time to stalk me, like some lazy ass killer with a hockey mask. I guess that is a small gift, I can die a little slower now, how kind of it.
I have no idea how I got here or what happened after the room went white, all I know is I have a furry killing machine behind me. My mind is blurring and I have no fucken idea what to do. Panic is definitely starting to set in.
Before I was standing from afar with a meat shield and that seemed to make it less .... real. It let me analyze the situation without much risk and made me feel far stronger than I actually am. Now though, with only me and that thing, all I could think of was to run. Run the fuck away from it with all might, but my might seemed to be waning.... ๐๐๐๐!
I tripped on a fallen branch and tumbled over. My hand let go of my side... ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ! My vision is starting to narrow... ๐ ๐จ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ช๐ด ๐ช๐ต ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฉ?
*Cough*
"I fucken hate you"
*Cough*
"Snarf"
At this point in a game I would chug a healing potion, but I don't have one of those. My sense of fear is slowly being replaced by anger as I near my death. My anger at being killed by a perverted Dragon's offspring that resembles the most useless and annoying character ever to grace cartoons. I just want another chance, this time I won't run, I'll fight until I die.
Suddenly I see a lot of white in my narrowing vision. It looks to be a couple of rabbits. I have an idea....this is my only shot. I'm sorry cute rabbits, but I need you to trade with me.
"Drain"
*Cough*
"Drain Life"
I feel the warmth hit me again. My vision returns a bit. I look and can now see there are three rabbits in front me. They look like they are being mummified. I'm not sure but I could of sworn I heard them scream for a second there.............definitely my imagination. For the sake of my fleeting sanity that is what I'm going with.
As the process completed and they dropped dead I looked down to see my wound had mostly recovered. There was a massive gash there now, but my innards were no longer sticking out anymore at least.
Before I could breathe out a sigh of relief I heard branches snapping as something large stalked toward me. I was still in deep shit. I wasn't dying anymore for the moment, but I still was completely exposed. I need a meat shield, but I don't have any human corpses....do they have to be human? I look at rabbits....๐ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐บ๐ค๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฆ! ๐๐ต ๐ช๐ด๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐บ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ญ๐บ.............๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด.
"Arise and serve me"
Their bodies shake and their eyes fill with inky darkness as the rabbits get up. For some reason I was able to get all three to reanimate. ๐๐ด ๐ช๐ต ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ข๐ณ ๐ด๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ? No, that is a mystery I'll deal with if I am still alive in a few minutes.
I point my finger at my most hated enemy as it saunters through the forest. I release all my pent up anger and yell at the top of my voice hoping it will reinforce my resolve.
"MY ARMY OF FURRIES! FUCKEN KILL THAT THING!"
