Yukki trembles in his boots. "A- a world serpent." He says only feeling fear. He had never thought he would encounter an abyssal tier creature.
The adventurers confronted the serpent, and the man with the large blade charged at it. He struck the beast with a glowing sword, and the impact caused a deafening roar. Kaito watched in amazement as the man fought the massive creature. He knew that if he joined the fight, he would be crushed by the serpent's powerful coils. But even though he knew he would be no match for the beast, he wanted to join the fight.
"Kaito!" Nyla's shriek snaps him back. He looks over to see Yukki and Nyla frozen with fear. "We must escape! This fight is too much!" Nyla says and Kaito looks around and sees that the mountains that once seemed so large are now crumbling around them.
Kaito's eyes darted back and forth as he surveyed the battlefield, taking in every detail with the speed and precision of a seasoned warrior. He saw that Nyla and Yukki were frozen with fear and unable to move, their faces etched with terror. Kaito knew that he had to act quickly. With a smile, he sprang into action. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a massive beast retreating from the conflict, its tail lashing and its claws glinting in the sunlight.
Without a moment's hesitation, Kaito leaped onto the beast's back, wrapping his arms around its neck and pulling himself onto its back. The beast let out a roar of protest and bucked wildly, trying to dislodge Kaito from its back. The combination of the battle raging around them and the constant thrashing of the monster made it difficult for Kaito to tame the beast, but he was determined to succeed.
Kaito battled the monster, trying to subdue it so they could escape. He finally managed to subdue the beast and used it to run towards Nyla and Yukki. He grabbed the two of them, and they began their retreat. The monster looked like a large horse with two heads.
He laughs. "This a good save?!" Kaito asks them both. Nyla smiles with tears in her eyes. "Yes!" She shouts. Yukki comes to his senses. "You saved us?" He asks.
Kaito and his friends run from the massive battle. Nyla was in a panic when a boulder came crashing down on them, but Kaito laughed and destroyed it with his flaming hands. "We're not out of this yet!" Kaito shouted, as the ground beneath them cracked and opened up. He steered the beast through the crumbling terrain, but it was a struggle. "Hold on!" he shouted to his friends.
Yukki and Nyla watch as Kaito fearlessly navigates through the destruction. "How can he be so calm?" Yukki asks, feeling ashamed of himself for failing to protect Ms. Nyla. He finds himself admiring Kaito's bravery. "He stepped in where i failed." He says.
Kaito is a strange man, Nyla thinks as she watches him. He is smiling as he makes their escape, dodging boulders and slashing through blocked paths with a small hunting knife. There is not even a hint of fear in his eyes. Nyla wonders how Kaito can be so calm and collected in such a dangerous situation.
A large ravine forms in front of them. Kaito smiles. "Hold on tight guys!" Kaito shouts as he speeds the beast up towards the ravine. Their speed increases greatly, Yukki and Nyla hold onto the beast tightly. Kaito uses the beast to jump across the ravine. Nyla and Yukki scream their hearts out. Kaito laughs, this is the most exciting day of his adventure yet!
They soar through the air, Kaito's smile never leaving his face once.
The beast lands the jump and they manage to escape the mayhem. "That was awsome!" Kaito shouts. Yukki checks to see if his hearts ok. "Kaito, you're insane, who thinks like this!" Yukki says as he smiles too. Nyla laughs. "I admire the way you do things!" Nyla laughs with them. "It was so close dodging around!" Kaito laughs. The others can't help it but to laugh with Kaito.
His smile and energy seemed infectious. Even after the near death experience they couldn't help but to laugh with him.
The beast bore them through the wilderness at a speed they could not have matched on foot. They spent the next few days riding the beast and camping along the way. They had many adventures together in this short time. They didn't fully realize it, but they became quite fond of each other.
Than not long after the sunrise. They spotted their destination.
