Emily had almost made it, but behind her, a huge flock of giant four-armed creatures had gathered.
The creatures had given up on trying to immobilize their prey with stones, committing fully to the chase.
" Hurry, you're almost here."
A glimmer of hope appeared in Emily's eyes, then swiftly turned to shock.
Emily let out a muffled yelp.
In the next moment, she stumbled over a stray rock and violently rolled on the ground.
Emily quickly tried to get to her feet, but then she screamed.
A sharp pain flared through her leg.
She glanced down at her foot and discovered it had turned at an awkward angle.
One of the creatures chose that moment to swoop down, its arms reaching for her.
She raised her arms to shield herself, but the creature never reached her.
In the next moment, a dark blur whizzed past her.
Two dark, silvery blades flashed through the air, bisecting the creature in a gory display of blood and gore.
Morgan stood in front of her, wielding his twin blades.
