And lastly, I added this one for Alpha. She seemed to like the ones that were a bit more, menacing. So here ya go :D
A momentary still allowed a survey of the situation.
A beast, features just shadow on blackness. A leadened
breath that burned the air seeped from a gaping mouth.
Dark fog billowed off it's shoulders and back to the
floor. Rolling out and creating an eerie ambiance. It
stood panting, waiting. And a man. His clothes simple,
but not dated. There was a heavy chain attached to a
spiked metal ball leading back to his hands. Both
dripping in a dark viscus fluid.The monster
bellowed and ran heavily foward. Each step rang through
the ground as he came. It's hands protruding with an
evil intent. The man spun and brought forth his weapon
to bear. It plummeted from the sky upon the blackened
brow. A crimson thud was only an illusion. The creature
wrenched it's arm free and pushed itself to stand. But
that glittering ball arced down annihilating the beast's
left hand. It howled in pain and charged from it's
hunched position. There was no defense from this. A
heavy hand, with a cold grip, clasped the man's arm.
Striking back, and with a tiny hope, the man pulled a
dagger from his breast pocket. With his left arm
enclosed in a living vice, he flung the knife for
his attackers eyes. It spun wildly and caught the foe
vertically, from noes to jaw. Roaring and falling back
the blade was pulled and flung aside. This was going
to be it. A monster's pain against a man's
determination. A blood filled bellow signals the start
of it all. Each pounding step closer. A single heartbeat
at a time. some great silence between echoes. When
almost out of the heavens themselves, that glistening
red orb falls upon the demon's skull. Forcing the beast
down into now unstable ground. He smiles as he wraps his
chain and lifts the spiked ball from it's Cranial house.
Stepping over the body, he grins to himself, knowing
only that pride will be back someday.
