The drakon was mumbling something under his breath.

Vex turned around. "Sorry, what was that, Paiko?"

"O-oh. I don't. Hhhhh... I don't like it. This place. Something feels wrong." He shivered and cast nervous glances over his shoulder again, the fifth time in twenty paces.

The kitsune slowed down his steps and cocked an ear to listen. He didn't hear anything. And that did indeed bother him. All his senses were set on edge, turned up to highest sensitivity, high alert. Yet picking up nothing while the crawling feeling of being watched, of walking right into a trap; that was the most disturbing feeling of all--

"Down!" Paiko cried, right as Vex (already one step ahead) grabbed the drakon-boy and yanked him into the brush. 

A pale figure leapt from the shadows of the foliage, scythe-like arm bearing down on the surprised wanderers. His reaction was purely self-preservation reflex - had he thought about it, he would've been too slow, too late.

CLANG! His blade parried the sickle-limb of the gaunt horror in front of him. At his side, Paiko touched the hilt of Vex's sword, adding his mineral-based Earth magic to strengthen the weapon.

Well, an epic sword fight wouldn't be complete without an epic rainbow blaze, would it?
