-= After their journey, Ryn was tempted to take a short rest in the local Inn, but he decided against it. He tugged at the collar of his mantle before wiping the blue monster blood from his forearm. Ryn took a glance at Shina and gave her a nod before leading them into Birth Valley. The sights and smells were quite strange, almost offensive in fact. Ryns eyes shot forward as a bio-monster or two scurried away from them. The motavian procured his Axe from its harness and roared a battle cry so as to alert the monsters before them that he was coming for them. He glanced over to Shina and shot her a smile before proceeding into the valley. Strange abominations fled at the sight of Shina and Gryz, obviously intimidated by the warriors. Ryn gave a huff and swung his axe at a flatterplant, but not before it spat acid breath onto his right shoulder, paralyzing it. Though his movments were slightly sluggish now, Ryn proceeded even farther with his partner at his side. As they decended to the second level, Ryn was cought off gaurd by another flatterplant and to extensive damage to his right arm. As the arm was already paralyzed, such damaged rended it completely useless. The motavian grew frusterated with the situation and with his teeth bared, he lifted his left hand and cast Eradicate. The skill vanquished his foe in a stream of blinding llight at the expense of some of his lif energy. With a huff, he cast res on both himself and Shina and continued onward through the vally. =- "Are you alright Shina?" -= Ryn winced and clutched his right shoulder in agony. =- "Do you think you could do somthing about this?" -= Hearing the familiar buzzing of wings, Ryn shot a glance upward just in time to meet with the image of two flatterplants charging at Shina and himself. Ryn stomped his foot, lifted his left arm and roared, stopping the two enemies in mid-flight. His right arm throbbed in pain, but he decided to ignore it. Using what little technique power he had left, Ryn cast GiGra, forcing the gravity around the two enemies to enclose upon them, crushing their hard exoskeletons with a satisfying crunching sound. Ryn flung the cape of his mantle over Shina, sheilding her from the giant insects glood and guts as they were crushed by his most cherished technique. Ryn wiped the gore from his mantle with a gentle sweep from his axe before glancing at Shina. =- "Stupid bugs... If you're going to do somthing, do it completely!" -= Wrens right arm twitched violently. Annoyed, the motavian attatched his axe to its harness and clutched his shoulder, biting down on his beak before he dislocated the shoulderblade, seperating the synaposes so the twitching would stop. The ground around them shook and a thud was heard in the distance. Glancing over to Shina, Ryn smiled. =- "So.. how about this arm of mine. You wouldn't happen to have any technique in that array of spells you have, would you?" -= Before he got his answer, an Igglanova crept around the corner of the caverns. The creature seemed suprised to see the two of them, so Ryn decided to make the best of it. Knowing that if they didnt defeat the creature quickly that it would summon others, Ryn saw no other alternative than to use Eradicate and expend a majority of his health. Reluctantly, he lifted his left arm and roared. A glow of white light charged around his gloves hand, coloring the air around his hand to a cool hue of cyan. In a matter of seconds, the glow filled his entire hand and charged into a brilliant flash! Somwhere in the midst of the flash, a surge of white energy shot from his hand and penetrated the Igglanovas thorax, cracking its tough shell and leaving only a a corpse that reaked of the foul stench of burning flesh. =- "Now... About that arm...."
