"Grab your weapons, ready your nerves, it seems like we missed something in the first battle!" Crells let out a hearty laugh lifting the spirits of his fellow soldiers, in truth though Crells was scared, he had already trenched through the battle field scanning for any would be attackers and found nothing and that howl they heard, that scream was not from any for they had encountered before.
"we will show that thing what for! ey lads! so long as we got our capin Crells!" one of the soldiers yelled with beer still dripping from his mud encrusted beard.
They seemed to have forgotten that i was just a regular solider like them not 1 day ago thought Crells as they slogged through the muddy downtrodden field.
The roars got louder and closer as they encroached on a thick sprawling of tree's, "in there lads!" shouted the same alcohol infused man as before and before Crells could utter a command they ran into the forest swords raised.
Crells fueled by fear lept after his comrades only to have his face smashed in by some blunt weapon, he fell to the ground and all he heard as his body fell was that monstrous roar which was so close now he felt his bones splintering from its power but in between that he heard the same sound from the goat like creature he fought just after the battle ended, his stomach convulsed with fear and he blacked out certain of his own demise.
"Oi, cap wake up!! come on cap.... Who was not protecting Crells ey? EY??" Crells woke to see the drunk man with a mud encrusted beard was kneeling over him with a grin so wide you could fit a horse in it, "wh.. what happened?" he asked his fellow soldiers "the beasts like goats... where are they??" he spat out as quick as he could, adrenaline filling his blood vessels.
"tis alright sir we got em all! only lost one man in the process, shame but we managed to cull 36 of the bastards! AND we got a surprise for you sir! come see" replied Finch who was becoming Crells right hand man quite quickly despite his smell. Crells struggled to his feet looking around he saw that Finch was right, these goat things were all dead and that monstrous roar had stopped.
Finch led Crells through thicket of dense brush which blocked all vision and on the other side was a Spider twice the size of the largest gryphon he had ever seen, "Betsy is our now sir! we cut down those Beasts that had her trapped and were trying to kill her and as soon as her bonds were free she helped us devour them all! best of all sir, she stayed behind and it seems like she is wanted to follow us!!! Come on lads lets hear for Crells!! Hip Hip Horray!!
Crells was astounded, his men did this and they seemed to want to follow him to the ends of the earth and now with Betsy he had a lot of options in what to do next.
