Goodbye For Now

Arias felt like his worst nightmare had truly come to life as he wrestled with the most terrible pain he could imagine. 

The feeling of being stabbed by this unforeseen creature was so unexpected that he almost thought he was mortal again for a brief moment. 

His body flashed out of existence and reappeared in the sky a few feet away, where he immediately reached for the gaping wound in his chest. 

Even though he was no longer being impaled, his wound had yet to heal and that corrosive substance refused to leave his system. 

"This... doesn't make any sen-"

"ENEMYYY!!"

Shear wasn't the kind of creature who made a habit of letting her prey escape, and she would give her last to ensure that Arias knew that. 

She rushed at him with all four of her clawed appendages out, but Arias was much more wary of her existence after being attacked.
