<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9b/Zahara2.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Zahara (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10214425#msg10214425) (Zii)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Ares<br/><strong>Location:</strong>North Woods<br/><strong>Activity:</strong>Monster Assault Techniques<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 21st, After 1:30pm<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Dorian, some Stymphalian birds, Open<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Wearing sleeveless camp t-shirt, black compression running shorts, and Nikes, also now wearing Amazon-made celestial bronze belt, circlet, and arm cuff<hr/>The bird swooped in and Zii met it head on with a smile. It was times like this she wished the armor that covered her arm was a full on glove because she would've slammed her fist straight into that gods damned beak and reached into its gullet. As it was she had to settle for reacting with superb timing, her speed keeping her a second ahead of that razor sharp beak as she sharply jerked her arm up under the bird's head with a thudding clang of bronze on bronze. The strike sent it spinning away with a shriek but not before her other hand reached out to snag the flag tied to its neck.<br/><br/>Still grinning she tucked the flag away between her armor and t-shirt. Here was where throwing knives would have come in handy but she had to settle for what she had, which meant watching the annoying bird regain it's normal flight, twisting around to shoot more of those damned feathers at her as it climbed in height. "I don't suppose you have any fancy lightening or fire powers up your sleeves do you?" She called out, knowing what the bird was aiming to do even as it banked around and fell into a steep dive. Granted torching the thing would burn up the other flag if Dorian hadn't grabbed it already but these things were annoying.<br/><br/>Huffing, she she shook her head, "Nevermind," the word came out a low growl and and pulling her sword she timed the speed of the bird's descent. It was a gamble, if she missed she was gonna eat crow... literally. But Zii had been at this for a long time. Longer than she'd been a full time camper. She was no stranger to monsters and fear of the inevitable death that would come to her was something she'd ever allowed herself. Especially not over a bird. Dropping low at the last second, Zahara used her covered arm to deflect the birds claws while she shoved her blade up under the damned beast with a hard thrust to feel it bite into the body of the bird. After that it was was only a matter of getting up and dusting herself off as she turned to see how Dorian fared.
