Now or never

A tree that had been bathed in the acid that was spat in their direction caused to slowly break from the little support it had after most of its trunk had been eaten away. 

Acting on impulse Zephyr made a quick slash at the tree that was about to collapse on Solis before returning it to its scabbard.

Zephyr's eyes widened at the action which had shocked him to a great extent.

'So I do know how to use a weapon.' He concluded in his thoughts, quickly pulling himself together as he noticed the others looking at him strangely.

"Reflexes." Zephyr shrugged.

"Thanks, man." Solis rolled out of the way.

Zephyr had a smile on his lips, but all that turned into a frown the moment he locked eyes with Obsidian.

'Back to square one, I presume.' Zephyr rolled his eyes, not ready to be caught in the loop of unknown hatred.

Rrrrr!

The snarling sound continued, but this time much closer than they imagined it to be.
