Amaris didn’t waste any precious time – the female werewolf dashed closer and extended her claws, reaching out to slash open the right wing of the wyvern. The beast immediately awakened, screaming in anger and pain. It was then, when Amaris recognized the sound of its voice. It was precisely the same screeching that had kept her from getting rest these past few nights and while she thought about that, she immediately went and slashed the same wing again. Leaving large enough wounds on the sensitive limb of the wyvern, Amaris now had to dodge an attack was the beast was lunging for her with its head and its razor sharp teeth were a dangerous weapon. She did have a plan, however, and when the wyvern began spreading its wings, with one of them being defect, it almost immediately lost balance. Not enough to fall, but enough to slip if pushed. And that was precisely what Amaris ended up doing – she threw her whole weight against the wyvern, pushing it off the plateau and causing it to fall into the depths.
Due to one of its wings having large claw marks and holes inside it, the wyvern wasn’t able to keep itself from falling down and it was unable to save itself. Amaris rushed over to the border and looked won. She saw the wyvern drop dead upon impact and she could hear the haunting sounds of its bones shattering on the ground. No one could survive a fall like that, she was sure of it. But she had to check anyways. Quickly, the woman climbed down the trapdoor and took the magical elevator down to the bottom floor, where she would exit the building and run for the wyvern. It’s neck was twisted in a strange way and she could smell its blood dripping from where broken bones had torn through its skin. She could not, however, hear its beating heart anymore. Relieved that it was over rather quickly, Amaris decided to let the corpse be and responded to the Rune Knights who’d approached.
“Daragast will be waiting for you at the checkpoint,” they explained and almost immediately, Amaris was on her way. She met with the dragon-like creature at said checkpoint and he seemed surprise, but also relieved at how she’d done it.
“Clever,” he said while giving her a bag filled with the reward money.
“You’re strong and clever. I like that – you got the job done much faster than I initially thought. If you ever need work again, do not hesitate to approach me and I will see what I can do.” Amaris simply nodded at his words, took the money and left. She wanted to wash the blood off of her hands as quickly as possible, for it smelled horrendous.
