Chapter 101

We ran into a few more Murwogs before we finally came across our first true challenge, or Sandra's first challenge as Zirani had said it would be good practice and a learning experience to face beasts that held the same affinity as us.

The beast was a bat-like creature, though it had no wings, and walked on four legs. It was only around the size of a dog, but its mouth was full of more teeth than were probable, in fact, its teeth seemed to bend outwards in a sickening display.

"It's all yours," I said as I turned to Sandra who had her eyes closed in focus. As they shot open a moment later, her cloak formed upon her as dark smoke rose from her body.

She stood from our vantage behind a giant mushroom and slowly walked over to the beast, giving it ample time to see her and let out a hiss. She could have most likely killed it in a sneak attack, but then she wouldn't learn anything from the encounter, which was the main purpose of her fighting this foe and not Misty or I.
