The plan was a good one, but unfortunately things usually do not go as planned. Cyan knocked his first arrow as Beka entered her stealthed state. She backed off, following the round walls around them to try getting behind the enemy. The mages however began to adjust their positions, their empty eyes following her position. she called out to him. "This isn't going to work! they can track my location. the moment I attack they will launch their spells at me."
"FUCK" Cyan cursed as He let the arrow fly. The moment the arrow entered the aggro range of the mages a flurry of fireballs, electric balls, and ice balls were thrown towards him. Cyan quickly dodged out of the way, one of the fireballs burning his fur as it flew past. His arrow managed to stoke a mage in the skull, reducing their number by one.
He continued to fire as he ran, not standing still for a moment. The ghouls were in rapid pursuit of him, moving faster than he was. He managed to fire off a total of 10 arrows before they caught up, only seven of them had hit a target, and only 3 of those being fatal shots.
He had no more time to worry about his bow; The ghouls were upon him, several of their sharp claws attempting to strike his flesh. Blood began to flow from his chest where one of the claws had managed to strike. His blood began to freeze, forming a hardened spot on his body where the claws had dug in.
The sound of a crystalized explosion could be heard as he saw multiple ice grenades go off on the ghouls, freezing them into place. None of them had died, and yet it gave him room to breathe. Cyan took advantage of the opportunity Beka had bought him to lob a handful of arrows at the ghouls, not carrying what they hit he tossed a total of three handfuls.
Wherever the arrows struck ice began to spread from, soon the 15 or so ghouls who were chasing him had turned into frozen statues. He did not have time to celebrate as another wave of magic came crashing towards him. He rolled behind the frozen ghouls to dodge, the multiple.balls of elemental magic causing the statue to shatter into small ice shards. The shards ripped through his flesh, thankfully his resistance caused the damage to be minimal.
35 mages cast their eyeless gazes at him as he ran from their orbs, fury filled their non existant hearts as they sent volley after volley of elemental balls at his location. His wounds began to add up as he was struck repeatedly by the fireballs.
Unfortunately he was sent into a daze when a fireball exploded near his ear. He became tipsy as he lost balance. That's when the worst happened, a ball of lightning struck him in the chest. sending him flying towards the wall of the circular room. Cyan let out a howl of rage and pain as he clawed his way out of the broken stones around him. His body was stiff, he could barely move as the next volley of spells was getting ready to launch towards him.
He closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. It never came. The sound of explosions filled his ears. 15 of them to be exact. The sound was deafening, but not nearly as potent as the silence that followed.
Blissful silence Cyan thought to himself as he fell to the floor. Perhaps now I can finally rest.
His thoughts were interrupted by the soft sound of footsteps approaching him. He laid there, incapable of moving as the footsteps got closer. He opened his eyes to see a skull looking directly at him The eyeless gaze filled with resentment as the fires of life faded.
The skull was crushed under a small boot. Chunks of skull turned into powder under the black boot as it ground the bone shards into dust. a familiar voice greeted his ears. "So are you going to just lay there all day? or are you going to get your ass up?"
