A few hours journey was all it took for them to arrive at the cove the fisherman spoke of. A rotten smell permeated the area. “How disgusting!” Izumi revolted. “You go in. I’ll wait here.” she said with her back turned to the cove. Jin chuckled, not being able to resist the urge to tease her. “It’s just a bad smell. Stop being a baby over it.” The two of them began to bicker, louder and louder their voices increased. During their spat, they both failed to notice the booming footsteps that approached. Each boom got louder and closer, a dark figure in the cove looming ahead. The booming stopped, the figure fully emerged from the cave, and its head cocked to the side as it stared at the two before it who disturbed its rest. A large gobbling sound from the creature stopped the argument dead in its tracks as they both turned to look at the creature before them. “Shit…” they muttered in unison as the creature lowered its head in an attempt to attack them. On instinct, the two of them dash off in opposite directions in order to surround it. The creature attempted to peck at them with its sharp beak, narrowly missing them. They knew it wasn’t much time for talking, they had to take action. Thankfully, their teamwork was still top-notch. A simple nod was all that was needed, a plan was in motion.
