The Rewards of Battle

Jason looked at the large bats and put himself in between richard and it. He hoped he could buy enough time for richard to don whatever equipment he had and come up with a plan.

Richard was desperately trying to figure out how to pull out his fancy new sword. But it was annoyingly difficult to peruse the menu of the scanner under pressure.

"I cant find it where is it?!" Richard yelled to jason as the bat attacked. Currently engaged with one of the bats and others landing behind it he couldn't formulate an answer and yelled back "Fu*€*#g figure it out!"

All of the sudden a loud howl was heard it echoed in the cavern and seemed amplified and richard had to cover his ears. jason was unable and just beared through the pain as he was using two hands to hold the bat away from his throat.but after the howl the bats seemed scared and hurriedly ascended in a obvious attempt to escape.

After removing his hands from his ears richard heard a large thud hit the ground in front of him but jason was in front of him far enough that the figure was obscured behind him.

All richard could see of the new opponent was a tail made of bone it had what looked like pickaxe looking bone spikes on either end at the tip and it slowly waved back and forth appearing on each side of jason.

It stood about 20 feet away from jason and was snarling looking at Jason's throat. Jason felt a looming fear enter him as if possessed. he felt stiff and his feet refused to move but his hand could move but the shook so violently that the left tracers of where they had been.

Just as he saw the pickaxe tail appear on Jason's right side again richard didn't need to see the beast to know he had seen it before. the night all of this had started he had seen it the bone tail wolf.

"Jason we are no match for that thing" Richard spoke at a quiet tone but Jason could hear him it was if all sound in the cavern had ceased. the ambient sound seemed afraid the this vicious beast. " I know but i cant move " Jason's words vibrated as he said these words.

The next sound that was hear was the cave floor being torn up by the massive claws of the wolf as it dug in pushing itself forward towards jason.

Jason screamed "sh*****t" and managed to put his hands up to block the claws. from reaching his chest with his forearms but was pinned to the ground shortly after.

As the beast looked down at him with snarling teeth and dripping saliva onto his face it looked ready to tear his head off. Richard picked up a rock and pegged it in the head as hard as possible. it hit the wold in the eye and damaged it it was bleeding slightly with one eye closed it looked at richard now.

The same as jason richard was now frozen under the beasts stare and jason now free from it tried to punch the beast in the other eye.

The beasts paws pinned him at his forearms with the claws curling over toward his face and the paw pad pressed against the serrated edge of armor on his for arms as jason move the edge dug in deeply in the paw pas and cut two of the beast claws off making it reel back and missing his punch but freeing him from the beast.

jason scrambling to his feet looked at the beast again and it was now staring at him but the middle of its forehead moved and now a third eye appeared.

this third eye look at richard who was frozen once again and both were wholely screwed.... What a reward this was for fighting to valiantly.
