Watching as Aluren sliced down upon the creatures, Isalisk felt her jaw tighten before her senses perked up at the creatures exploding outwards from all around her. The blade was lifted up into the air, and she held it there for a good waiting moment as she seemed to be waiting for something in particular. Though the creature was silent behind her, there was one thing that the Dragoness was good for and that was spacial awareness. She could feel an irking sense of when things were near her body from all around, and as this one creature tried to sneak up on her she brought the blade down and about in a twist. The metal tore through the wooden body of the monster, its screeches filling the air before Isalisk herself stepped back and to the Knights side, her blade still readied to cut through more wooden bodies.<br/><br/>"What should we do, Aluren?" She called up to him as the creatures neared them closer and closer, a look of pity appearing on her face as she saw they were perhaps once men and women of this realm before whatever dark horror in these woods decided to claim them for itself. "Perhaps we should run, staying here won't do us any good." She offered, bringing the blade sideways to cut through another nearby figure as it seemed to think a side approach would fare better.<br/><br/>The graspy hands of the wooden figures was something Isalisk thought pretty disturbing. She imagined them clawing at her and drawing blood, or perhaps pulling her into the bark so that she could join them in protrusions of growths that was the trees. Either way these woods were a haven for death and decay, two things she did not fancy one bit. The smell of the tearing bark was something she also did not enjoy, for it reminded her more of destruction and the onset of rot. In a place like this she imagined even innocent insects were not free from the taint.
