Adilphos, Wandering, lost. He had never been away from his village until now. Wandering too far into a forest he didn't recognize. Feeling Uneasy, he felt a presence watching him, no, following him. He kept looking back, "I hope Keileth returns soon, I can't find an exit..." he continued to walk forward.
He turned around, "Is anyone there!?" He turned in circles, as he heard rustling all around him. He pulled out his crossbow and readied himself. listening to the source. Just then a high pitched squealing, almost like a giggle scattered around him.
Curious, Adilphos shot at on of the trees, hoping to scare out whatever was causing the sound. But as the arrow struck the tree, everything went silent. Then, just as the giggle, he heard gasping from everything direction, as if hitting the tree was murder.
"W-what?" He turned 'round and 'round yet again,
I don't understand... everything silencing again, he stood silent, waiting for something else. When nothing happened, he continued. But as he chanced upon a clearing, the giggling ensued yet again.
Angered this time, he griped his Sihlf from it's sheath and jerked his arm up, "Darkness!" Shadow gathered around his and engulfed him. He swung down toward the ground and the shadows dispersed across the ground in all directions, taking a small portion of Adilphos' energy with him.
Striking every tree, the gasping started again, but this time vines of every shade of green shot from the trees in every direction. striking and whipping him, he though to himselfmn
The trees seem almost... angry... being struck from behind caused him to lose his balance and train of thought.
The vines grabbed at him. Trying as hard as he could to dodge them, Adilphos rolled left and right, but there were too many of them. They successfully gripped his arms, string him up. Hanging there, the vines grabbed and wrapped around his limbs.
As a last resort, Adilphos attempted to use his Necro abilites, gathering his energy he tried moving the vines. He freed his left arm, but the vines were too powerful, as if they had a mind of their own. They wrapped around him and constricted.
His last resort was to yell his comrade's name, using the last of his breath, "Keileth!!! KEILETH!!" But the familiar was unable to hear him, as she had gone ahead to search for an exit.
How could he win? The nature he trusted as his ally was fighting back against him...He was doomed to die again, but this time, Necro would not save him.And all the while the trees giggled, almost as if they found it funny that they were killing him...----
