Meanwhile Avarice was chasing his monstrous prey through the forest meters away. His feet knocking loose rocks and dirt beneath him his face covered in grit and sweat. As he hit crevices and small hills he leaped, in his right hand a short-sword and in his left a random stick he had picked up while racing forward.
The beast he chased looked almost like an overly agile bull as it knocked down the trees and kicked up rocks and pebbles behind it, Avarice yelled "The time has come to end this," he then disappeared in to the trees. The wild beast then opened its horrifying mouth displaying a gruesome set of teeth as if sensing Avarice's impending attack, alas it wasn't prepared enough seemingly as monstrous as his prey Avarice appeared from behind a tree a yard ahead of it. At that point with a disturbing smile and laugh he crouched down and the beast impaled itself through it's own heart with Avarice's outwardly extended blade. The beast bellowed and Avarice seemed to revel in it. The mighty beast however wasn't quite finished enough and Avarice wasn't about to lose his difficult to achieve catch so he swung him self around unto its back and used his blade as his anchor. The beast continued its futile last sprint as it slowly bled out.
However it may have been in luck though the blade was near its heart and had slightly penetrated it but Avarice was now distracted through a clearing in the trees and brush he could see straight ahead of him, for some reason what he saw prompted the far less skilled Merikanz to take over as he whispered aloud, "Aleath?" he was then flung straight forward as the beasts leg were hindered by a medium sized boulder and flipped it over atop itself. As he flew he hit branches and bushes alike till finally landing onto the ground sliding forward and finally stopping in the sand a few feet in front of Talhar and Aleath, before he could get up and dust himself off his nearly forgotten prey came tumbling with such speed and force it flew past Merikanz and skited atop the ocean until finally stopping in the shallows.
Merikanz sighed, and with embarrassment, "Heh well hi again, (directing his eyes to Talhar) I am Merikanz, and (noticing the spear held by Talhar) I could use some help retrieving my dinner heh,... And Aleath (with an akward smile as he made momentary eye contact and then looked at Shade) I was trying to um, well... (sigh) so shall we retrieve my dinner!?"
