Obviously, occupying such a large space within the forest for such a long time, had angered some of the forest dwellers who had now assumed that their turf had been invaded; the nasty forest Vulcans included. Just as he finished his food, a Rune Knight Page found him, notified him of a forest Vulcan wreaking havoc at some of the tents near the edge of the festival’s clearing, and vanished into the crowd before Haru could ask him to assist in warding off the beast.
Of course…
Sighing softly, he rushed towards the location the page pointed. It didn’t take him long to spot the ten-foot-tall beast flattening the ground with a tent that it had uprooted. Commoners ran from the edge, screaming expletives at both the beast and the ‘apparently incompetent’ Rune Knights. Haru was annoyed, but didn’t say anything. What were the geniuses expecting? That the forest creatures will allow them sit on their habitat for weeks without retaliating?
Nevertheless, it wasn’t the time for a debate. Pulling out his hilt and activating it, he charged towards the nature beast, hoping that he could do something to scare it away and not actually harm it. However, the angry Vulcan showed no sign of fear and charged right back, which in fact instilled fear in Haru, who was no longer sure he could handle this by himself.
Sliding to a halt, he lunged to his right just in time to avoid the large barky fists of the Vulcan. As the attack landed on the ground, creating a small crater, Haru gulped and immediately put a good distance between him and the beast. Where is Akira when I need her? he wondered. Standing there, looking for an opportunity to take down the angry ‘invader’ without actually harming him, Haru scanned the area in his periphery to see if there were any other Knights who had come to the scene to assist him.
