Twisted Nights

The First Night Is Always The Worse...Hopefully

Previous Chapter

After almost no time the tents were set up and a campfire had been lit by Berry Punch using her flint and steel, the group gathered around it warming themselves as the colder night set in.
"you know I always loved camping" said Aloe trying to spark conversation, "hey me too" replied Soarin to everyone's surprise, it was surprising seeing as soarin was a very high class person, not he kind of chap who would like to indulge in camping.
"oh your just saying that aren't you" said Aloe, Soarin shook his head explaining how it was always nice to get out in the open.
Since the group was talking amongst themselves Big Mac has wondered off to gather more wood.

"why do I get so nervous around others" he whined to himself he trudged slowly over to a tree and took out a logging axe and hacked at the tree after a few swings there was a huge shock wave from the ground knocking Mac to the ground, he looked up to see the tree...emerging from the ground "Ent!" shouted Mac drawing his weapons he wielded a huge kite shield and a spiked mace, after fully emerging the tree like being turned slowly to Mac noticing the axe that lay by Mac's side in one terrifyingly quick move the Ent smashed it's wooden hand down onto Mac who just managed to dodge roll it.
"wait guys did you hear that?" piped up Reqius interrupting Trixie who had been explaining how good she was at magic, the grouped shrugged.
Reqius who was bored of Trixie at this point decided to investigate the noise he heard and walked off into the forest.

Again the Ent lunged at mac its gnarled fist smashed that tiny bit closer the twigs sticking out of its fist scratched big macs face leaving a deep cut in his cheek, he grunted at the pain doing what he did best and shaking the most it, he raised his mace up high and in one swift movement brought it down hard on the ent's trunk like wrist, the blow shatterd the first layer of the wood the spikes digging deep into the wood as the ent reeled back clutching it's 'wound'.
At this point Reqius came charging out his katana drawn "mac..." he peered up at the massive creature that was seemingly hurt and then down to the cut big mac his shield and mace in hand the stunned Reqius quickly cast around for something witty to say but big mac simply replied with "eeyup" Reqius laughed patting his friend on the back as they both turned to face the now advancing giant "legs to upper?" said Reqius clearly Big Mac understood as he nodded dashing forwards mace once again raised, Reqius followed behind him as the ent went to stamp on the duo, Reqius dodged while Big Mac simply blocked it with his shield struggling to keep the ent stable Reqius saw Big Macs movement and took up his role running up the leg of the beast laughing as he jumped into the face of the beast stabbing his blade into the forehead, whimpering the monster once again fell backwards throwing Reqius off as he fell he panicked grabbing wildly he gripped on to a chunk of bark as he did it crumbled the rotten wood cracking off as he continued to fall.
He landed hard onto the ground his leg being crushed beneath him, wincing through the pain he looked up to notice the huge foot of the beast rushing to him "well...shit" he murmured trying to scramble away but with a second warning a huge shattering sound ripped through the air as Big Mac charged out of no where smashed straight through the injured leg completely smashing it off completely, the monster fell back for a final time laying there on the the earth parting as its huge ms shattered through the ground.

Completely shook up Reqius stood up taking his blade from the creature wiping bark off of him "so why'd you come out here anyway" said Big Mac casually staring at Reqius, this of course put Reqius into a huge rant about how that question was complete crap compared the situation they'd just been in, his rant continued all the way back to the trip to the camp.

A they returned the fireside grew silent as the group observed the two slightly wounded fighter "we asked Big Mac to get wood...what did you two get up to?" asked Aloe curious Reqius explained the story of course he bigger up his role in the short fight big mac simpy nodding every so often, "very well done then Reqius Trixie congratulates you on this victory" she says this passing him some soup that Aloe had cooked up, it looked dreadful but tasted amazing rich in flavour "eeyup Reqius here was a right good fighter" said Big Mac, Reqius nodded as he gulped down more soup "well that sounds fun and all but we'd all best get some sleep" said Berry Punch thus ending this nights tale

It was a bright Mormon as Reqius lazily crawled out of his and Trixies tent he had woke up with her door In his face so wasn't in the best of moods Soarin was already out stretching "never again" murdered Reqius as Soarin noticed him "ha she kick you or something?" Reqius nodded pulling himself out and stretching too his arms clicking as he did so "today's the raid on the village right?" asked Soarin Reqius sighed "raid is such a strong word" the two friends discussed the plans for a while waiting for the rest of the party to join them.
It didn't take to long for Trixie to get up she was quickly followed by the others as when Trixie woke up everyone just had too, "morning other the great and powerful is summoning you all for breakfast!" she shouted hitting a pan, by this point Reqius and Soarin and already eaten and just laughed as the disgruntled group met up, it was a short breakfast somehow prepared by Trixie would claimed cooking with magic was the best meal someone could ever have "right so me and Reqius were thinking the best thing we could do is split up we can cover more homes then and get it done in less time" Soarin said through a mouthful, they all agreed with Soarin for once and packed up, Big Mac did his usual by carrying the most whilst Trixie demanded to carry the least
