Appreciate the small things
Seeing this, the melee gets more fired up about beating this thing, despite its size.
"Men! Charge!" Ambrose yell out loud
The men with swords, pitchforks and spears charge the beast. Intent on killing it quickly, some more arrows fly, impaling the beast. But, as the melee drew closer to the beast, the arrows became fewer and further between, probably because the archers started to get scared of friendly fire. The first to come face to face with the beast were a tall man, almost as big as the oversized animal itself. Shouting, his powerful muscles contracted as he swung the sword with all his power. The beast sees the man and almost lazily dodges the swing. The dodge was like a leaf being pushed by the wind, absolutely effortless. The man, not expecting the beast to dodge, had severely overextended his swing and now he's wide open to any kind of attack. The beast lunges like lightning at the man, all the spectators could see were a black shadow rushing past, and suddenly the man began falling backwards, blood sprouting from his throat, an unbelieving look in his eyes.
Lukas stands at the back with wide open eyes, how fast that happened! He couldn't even see the beast move before it was too late. Suddenly, he began to get really worried if they were to ever get out of there. Seemingly feeling his predicament, Steve puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Lukas, it is going to be alright. Stand where you are, i cannot afford to stay here with you" Saying so, he takes a quick few steps forward. A sword in hand, this seemingly ordinary farmer became dazzlingly brilliant in Lukas eyes. Dependable.
As this is happening, the fight hasn't been standing still. After killing the man, the beast didn't stop there. The beast opens its huge maw, growling at the men. Scaring some of them shitless. One of them lost his bearing and fell down when taking a step backwards, another lost the grip he had on his pitchfork and it came clattering to the ground. Grace kept a steady gaze as she watched this.
"Men! This beast is not unkillable! One good spear is enough to kill it! Everyone group up!" Saying so, she fired another arrow at the beast. The beast looks at her with hate at the pain inflicted, seemingly focusing all its attention at her. She keeps steady, nocking another arrow in her bow. The men all group up together, nobody foolish enough to fight against the beast alone once again. Seeing this, the beast began stalking around them, looking for an opening. Not seeing any, it seems disheartened for a moment. Suddenly, as if seeing a particularly delicious meal, the beast perked up, casting its gaze at Lukas standing in the background. Steve only had a moment to process the fact before the beast, with sheer physical strength and agility, ran up the wall. Using the circular layout of the cave, the beast keeps speeding up, and with the help of centrifugal forces, actually walks on the ceiling. From the ceiling, the beast takes a daring leap towards Lukas.
"Lukas!" The boy could hear someone shout his name distantly, his whole focus on the beast. The world was seemingly in slow motion at that moment. Lukas noted the rocks in the cave, how damp they all were. In the roof, to the right of the beast, he could see some stalagmites. One of them was particularly sharp, and a droplet of water seemed like it would fall from it at any moment. Oh, right… The beast. The beast had leaped off from the ceiling, in something which could only be called an incredible acrobatic feat. It was beautiful how the rocks flew from the back of its feet, being torn from the cave itself by its unimaginably sharp claws. Lukas were in awe of the incredible physical strength the beast possessed. Coming closer towards him, he could see the intense, yellow eye of the beast. Seemingly moving around and examining the cave while it's jumping. What a gorgeous, dangerous eye… Full of cruelty. Seemingly fingering around with something on his belt, he pulled his knife out. In that moment, emotion seemed to leave Lukas, he could appreciate the small things in life and he knew what he needed to do next.
"I wonder.. How will you fight without eyes" An innocent voice with a hint of curiosity could be heard echoing in the cave.
