Tundra's Winds: concerned
Melody of the Tundra: Incubus - Love Hurts
A messanger hurried over and nearly didn't stop in time when faced with ArcTic's presence. He delivered an urgent message requesting ArcTic's aid as the gates of Emo was under fierce attack. ArcTic quickly moved out to set across the Tundra and in brief moment, he was looking out onto the Emo tribe. There was a haze that made it difficult to see the whole situation, but ArcTic knew that he had little time to spare. He race down, drew out his claws, and entered the haze. What he was faced with was a creature of darkness, a shadow of sorts. ArcTic's icy claws flew through the air and tried hard to tear into his opponent, but to ArcTic's surprize, went through the dark figure without a mark to show for it. The creature turned around at its attacker. ArcTic took a defensive stance and brought down his scanner to try and find a weakspot on this creature. The dark figure's arm moved though the air and slashed at ArcTic's arm. He let out a cry of pain and his blood spilled onto the frozen ground around them. After cursing at the pain, ArcTic regained his stance just in time to block his opponents next advance. ArcTic pushed the creature's attack off and followed the momentum with a series of slashes with his claws, all hitting, but after a furry of attacks, the shadowy creature remained there without a mark of pain. The two kept this volley of blows going and ArcTic was able to pull the creature away from the walls of the Emo tribe taking blow after slash while being unable to return any damage back. The creature charged in for another attack. ArcTic staggers for a bit and as the creature jumped into the air, the sensor in ArcTic's helmet goes off and shows a small spot on the creature that could be a vulnerable spot. Without hesitation, ArcTic rolled forward to meet the shadowy figure's charge, and while the creature was in a moment of confusion towards ArcTic's actions, ArcTic threw his claw deep into the creature's chest. The beast howled in terror as it crashed into the ground on its side. It lay there, using its depleting energy to draw breath. ArcTic was in a similar situation, still haven't risen from his knees after the last strike. He was glad the fight was over. He had lost a lot of blood and energy and stays on his knees trying to hold his energy together. It was at this moment, when he felt the coldness all around him. In his weakened state, he stayed there, shaking from the cold and the pain, but atleast it was over.
Just then ArcTic heard a cry from his opponent. His spine went colder than the air around him. Slowly he turned around. Curiousity filled him. The corpse of the beast was still there, with a giant slash through its center, but there was something that didn't feel right about it. ArcTic looked harder at the sitation and noticed faint footprints leading away from the corpse, but there were no coresponding tracks leading towards the beast. Just then, ArcTic heard a laugh and turned around just in time to see a fist lunge at his neck, lift him off the ground. ArcTic looked down the arm to see another shadowy figure, but this one more resembling a man than beast. ArcTic struggled to fight against the dark person, but every swipe, every attempt to grab at the arm holding him was in vane as ArcTic's arms passed right though. The creature laughter haunts ArcTic and leaves him with a feeling of emptiness. The creature draws ArcTic in and glares him in the eyes. As ArcTic looks into his enemy's eyes, he saw an image of a person from his past that left him shaking. Though ArcTic's eyes were protected from the creature's gaze by his sunglasses, the shadowy figure could still feel the remainder of ArcTic's strength leave.
It was strange to ArcTic how the person he saw in the creature's eyes would give him a feeling of warmth that only left him weaker in the end. But ArcTic tries to remember that he is here in this state of life for a reason. Despite his reasoning, ArcTic is still left weak in the core. That combined with his exhaustion from the last battle, leaves ArcTic in a poor state at the moment. The shadowy figure can feel this. The shadow is trying to enter ArcTic's mind. ArcTic tries to fight it off with whatever defence he can muster while dangling from the shadow's hand. He hardens his thoughts trying to form a wall to keep the darkness out. Defence, have to keep the thoughts out.
Just then ArcTic feels a change in his position. First up, then down, a hard hit, but not one to stop him, then ArcTic feels himself fall though the ice and into the freezing lake below. The creature's throw was so hard that he was able to break through the thick layer of ice! ArcTic's muscles were eased by the water, but it wasn't long before ArcTic realized the problem of his position. He was too weak to even swim back out, too weak to fight against the freezing waters, too weak to be able to find his way out again. ArcTic floats there in the deep freezing water, letting the current take him deeper and deeper into the darkness of the Tundra, where he will end up, he cannot say, if he ends up anywhere at all.
