<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, 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/>Zii's demeanor might have seemed more lax and focused on teasing Dorian--because it really was fun--but it actuality she was dialed in to their surroundings. Her senses were acute and already her veins practically buzzed with anticipation. Had she not been immersed in a warrior culture from birth she might have been highly distracted by all the things she could hear and the faintly sinister feeling that engulfed the North Woods but she had been and by now she'd become accustomed to the discipline required to be patient.<br/><br/>"Mmhmm, we'll see if you can manage to impress me. I'll warn you though, it's not something easily managed." Zii's grin widened as she listened to her fellow campers moving deeper into the woods at a good clip. Picking her way over the terrain she considered his question, trying to decide what it was Chris might have stocked for today's exercise.<br/><br/>"You know, I can't say that I know specifically but I imagine that we'll see a variety of predators rather than just an abundance of one type. And they'll be tough. Not some little kiddie monsters with their claws tied behind their backs." She shrugged and looked over at Dorian. "I don't know if anyone told you but... well, not too long ago there was a war." No one liked to talk about it really but it was important not to let things like that just fade from memory without taking the lessons learned to heart. "It was one that called upon the whole camp to fight and we realized that as much as we'd thought we were preparing, it's impossible to truly get ready for what seems like the end of the world as you know it." She'd lost friends in that war, though thankfully they'd managed to pull through. "Camp life has mostly returned to normal except for the new numbers coming in but, well, you can see it in some of the staff... they don't want a repeat of what happened before." Neither did she.<br/><br/>In an easy show of coordination and grace, Zii hopped up on a boulder. She had been intending to simply hop down on the other side and keep going but a thrum shot through the air like a ripple in a pond. Crouching there she lifted her nose to the air waiting a brief second until... there! Her hand lifted and pointed east of their position. "And the fight begins," something shifts through her gaze as she looks to Dorian, "Do you sense it?" She had no idea what abilities he might have, but hers allowed her to pinpoint conflict. She could find a fight in the pitch black and in case he didn't feel it, or he just didn't believe her, a screeching cry went up followed by the shouts of campers. "That sounded like... well, like some kind of evil bird from Tartarus." She frowned and scanned the area around them, sensing something else encroaching. "And I think we've got company..."
