Ienis was fast on Baleron's heels as they sped towards the call of distress. He kept his hand on his sword as they ran. It was rare, but not unheard of, for there to be incidents in the waterways. Rarer still when a few monsters would work their way in upstream, but it had happened. He prayed that it wasn't happening now, for the sake of whoever was down there.<br/><br/>He kept an eye on the waters. You could tell, usually, if a slime or similar thing was in the waters by the way the water moved. Even though the monster was almost a fluid thing itself, it would still leave ripples when it passed, and disrupt the flow of water when it held still.<br/><br/>Surely she couldn't be much farther? For a moment he thought he saw a disturbance in the waters, but it was short lived enough that it could have been something else. He slowly drew his sword anyways, just in case.
