A Promise For The Furture

Suddenly a massive monster burst from the sand in front of us. It was an enormous centipede type monster about three meters tall loading from the sand. It struck at us, but I had my sword ready.

When Kyrina turned to dodge, I leaped from her back, continuing to the monster. It pushed to me with a wide-open gaping maw filled with teeth. I moved with blinding speed and landed on the other side, running to catch up with Kyrina.

Behind me, the monster's head had slid off, and it was spraying green ichor across the same in a fountain. I leaped to Kyrina's back and grabbed around her neck again. She took off also, but I was ready for it this time.

"What was that about?" Kyrina scolded me in her synthesized voice.

"We haven't had much practice like this, so I thought that I would take advantage of the situation. Don't you think it's a good idea? We don't have a lot of experience fighting like this, right?"
