"Sur-PRISE, B*TCH!!"
Zhevra had always prided herself on her reaction speed, especially in potentially lethal situations.
A massive green blur emerged from the forest. She couldn't identify it, but she lowered her body while simultaneously sweeping her attacker's leg.
After the fact, she realized she'd barely avoided the swing of a bearded war axe.
Her shin connected with her opponent's ankle... but it felt like she'd struck solid stone.
Corallidus.
Zhevra looked up.
...It was the largest and meanest-looking Corallidus she'd ever laid her eyes on.
He was... a Petty Officer in the Royal Marines.
His accursed name... was Bob.
"GAHAHA HAHA!!" The creature laughed as he spun his axe over his head and rested it over his shoulder.
