Valoren Roared in fury as the crab dug for his deepest fears, and closed his mind off as tightly as it could.  The discordance was caused however and Valoren's mine raced as his fears burned his mind.  As the slamming on both Physical and mental fronts continued the emerald held on with tenacity.  He wasn't even fully aware of how clenched on the creature he was, his sole thought was bite, attack.  In that moment he was truly sa beast, fighting to destroy an enemy only on purely primal instinct.  As the bludgeoning stopped his limbs scaped and his scales slightly damaged. his gums aching from chewing upon the chitinous shell of the shadow crab.  His already injured body beginning to give in, his vision began to dim and his attacks became sluggish, but still he attacked.  Clawing for consciousness, clawing for life.
