Day 064: Athvor Knocks Croom
Athvor’s eyes widened as he watched the man cut seamlessly through his fireball attack. He had never seen it useless in battle. This man was on top of him and he was caught off guard. He stepped back and turned his hips. Just as Croom came down on him with a fist full of knives, he swung around and pounded the man in the stomach with his tail, taking the brunt of the blades to his back. Athvor let out a roar that would have woken a hibernating troll.
The force of the tail sweep was enough to knock the wind out of Croom while sending him several hundred yards down the beach. “Guys… lets go.” He said trying not to show that he was injured.
Eeno and Nynn wasted no time. They climbed onto Athvor’s back, forcing him to withdrawal as they shimmied over the fresh wound. He stood quickly and pushed off the sand, flapping his wings. Within moments they were out of Croom’s reach and sailing smoothly over the ocean.
Croom watched the whole thing as he tried to regain his breathing rhythm. He could not do anything at the moment, but he was sure that he would be able to track them down. There was only one place they could be going and he knew just how to get there.
