Bump in the night (Alex and Shizin) Empty

Recently, some kids have been taken and eaten by a beast of the forest. And that pisses off Alex. It's one thing to kill soldiers, it's another to kill innocent children. He thought, wandering through the forest.

Yet at the same time, he felt proud of himself. "The people need me, and I need a new head for my collection." He said into the open forest, traveling through the woods to find this monster.

It's been a long walk, but the wait was worth it.  He approached the cave that held unknown terrors, the dual scimitars light in his hands. The surrounding wildlife was littered with bones and skulls, all through various stages of decomposition.  The blue sky illuminating the ground through cracks in the trees.  Alex listened hard,  straining his ears for the sound of the animals only to hear none.

Entering the cave, all Alex could see was darkness.  The unlit cave breathed with an uneven feeling.  The warmness radiating out from the darkness was damp and smelled of ancient moss.  Walking further, Alex kept a slow pace as to let his eyes adjust.  At a threshold deep in the cave, the air stopped being as strong.  The moss smell turned into that of rot and decay.  Alex was sure that the monster was near.  Holding up a sword in one hand,  he used the other to light the torch.  

The torch blazed to life,  illuminating the slimy stone wall.  The walls covered in damp moss were scratched and chipped.  Alex looked around, taking it all in.  Over in the corner, Alex heard the sound of movement.  He approached the corner, ready for combat.  He trusted the torch forward illuminating the darkness.  The figure of a small child sat in the fetal position,  eyes looking towards the stranger, terrified.

Alex motioned for the kid to follow,  trying to take him out of the cave, not wanting to allow the kid to be in harm’s way while Alex fought the beast.  The kid shook his head and closed his eyes.  That's when he felt the breathing on the back of his neck.

The large horns poked from out the head of a larger bull.  Fire red eyes put of light that illuminated the razor-sharp horns.  The fire in its eyes is clear as the ring piercing its nose. The hot breath was heavy, putting out the torch,  allowing the steel scales on its back to show the luminous light shining from inside. The broad shoulders were as big as a carriage. Its large hooves grinding impatiently into the stone.

Alex dropped the torch,  quickly drawing his sword to fight.  Sidestepping to keep their attention away from the child, Alex charged with a piercing shout.

To most people, the huge cavern in which Shizin was located would have been intimidating. The darkness was oppressive here, and there were constant tiny noises the source of which could not be determined. Little clicks and long gusting sighs. It could have been the cavern itself simply sighing, or it could be something far less pleasant to behold. To Shizin however it was beautiful.

The elf carried just enough light to barely see by, covering it now and again to see if a luminescence would eventually take over and make this place visible without the light. However so far it remained impenetrably dark. It also remained as of yet, quite empty of life. This was not a detriment to Shizin's mind of course; this elf was not looking for a combat but rather a place just like this one.

One where the echo and flow of sound could change with a single step. It was a wonder, and Shizin could have spent hours exploring such a place until the exact right spot was found to fill the entire space with music.

Today would not see that music however, or at least... it would have to wait.

For Shizin stumbled - quite literally in fact - over a small child huddled against a wall. The child made a pained noise and Shizin immediately bent down, oblivious both to the other person that was there and to the danger behind them. It was immediately clear that the child was not a player character, but Shizin caught their attention anyways, thinking to take them out of this place.

Looking up Shizin finally caught sight of those that shared the space. One was a bulky figure, by the light in Shizin's hand one could just make out a bag of indeterminate color that matched the color of the figure's pants. A helmet covered this individual's face from view, and in truth they were as likely to be the one keeping the child captive as the other whom looked so very much like a massive Minotaur.

The elf froze in place, lavender eyes wide and unnaturally pale looking by the wan blue light held in hand. Lips parted to offer some word, something which might explain the situation, but the words themselves simply would not come to mind. Instead Shizin picked up the child on instinct and held them carefully as the Minotaur roared a challenge at the large helmeted figure.
