The woman was ready, the other blade was striking downwards, though as that scream erupted through the night she was taken back by it only to be pushed away by the large paw of the beast. She choked as the paw crushed into her throat knocking her aside. The beast was getting away as she lay there, relearning how to breath. Her hand came up wrapping around her throat as though to ease the surge of pain that was going through it now. Her breath burned as she inhaled each time, the massive size of the paw would have broken her wind pipe had it not been for the simple fact that she shift as she brought the blade down to the wolf.<br/><br/>Pushing to sit up now and starred darkly to the entrance of the barn, the sound of the guards and their steeds brought her attention for a moment. Walking through the entrance were three guards with swords drawn, at the ready for attack of the beast. It was going to do them no good here considering this small framed woman had already scared the wolf off into the night. Her lips pursed as she looked up to the first guard in silver armor to appear. He was blonde with curly hair, rather tall for a guard, least six foot two. From looking at the armor alone one would think small and thin, but there was muscle under all of that, after all armor weighed a ton if you didn't have the right metals.<br/><br/>The man came to her, offering her a hand, his brown eyes starred at her before looking to the throat region of were she had been hit. The woman shook her head and moved pass the hand, raising up to dust her clothes off.<br/><br/>"Just a little late there..."<br/><br/>The guard shrugged his shoulder as he looked at her, turning his head over his shoulder to look at a couple of other guards that were helping the young girl that had been there with her. The man turned back to her inspecting her before he lowered down to pick up those less the sword size weapons for her.<br/><br/>"We were checking for survivors and taking those that were injured in before we lost them. I am Alex."<br/><br/>There was a raised brow from the woman as she took her weapons back from the man, looking to the blade that had a little blood on it. The beast was going to return, and it would be more likely for her rather then anyone else in the village. She brought the sword down to swipe the bloody tip on her pants before sheathing them. Nodding her head to the name he had given her she shifted slightly to recompose herself before she spoke back.<br/><br/>"I am Tri, I am a hunter. I need to leave the village before the beast return, I drew first blood so I am sure it will be hunting me to finish what we started."<br/><br/>Tri raised her hand up brushing the strands of black hair from her face to her ear. She didn't pay much attention to the man after she stated what she was, if anything she was more about to leave then wanting to stay here. Her lips pursed as she looked to the entrance of the barn moving pass him a bit. Finding rest for the night would be a good idea, if she was able to find any.<br/><br/>"I will be in the local inn for the night, I need sleep."<br/><br/>It seemed as though the jaws of the guardsmen were hinged opened, as though wondering how she could sleep after the slaughter and bloodshed that had been done here tonight. The simplest thing was, you had to tune it all out before she worried yourself into a hole about it. It didn't do anyone much good to be crying over something they weren't going to ever be able to change. That was the most introspective thing she could think of for the most part. Moving out of the barn now she moved to make her way to the inn were she would rest up for the night, and perhaps leave out at first light to track the beast. It was wounded, so there would be a trail of blood leading to the thing, she just needed rest before going after it.
