Thankfully the rest of the trip through the hills proves to be surprisingly uneventful–not because you don’t run into anything, of course, but because you manage to <span class="mu-i">avoid</span> most of said things!
“Jeez,” Eddie remarks as you let another horde of flamethrower-wielding skeletons march by, “They’re really mobilizing, huh…”
Yea, you frown, and you hope they’re doing it <span class="mu-i">far</span> from <span class="mu-i">YOU</span>! Descending into the outskirts of town through a derelict industrial park, you and your pals freeze in place (with the exception of Talbot, who ‘accidentally’ bumps his hand into your hindquarters) as a deafening <span class="mu-i">SHRIEK</span> pierces the air above you! Ducking behind a nearby snowbank with Talbot in tow, you and your pals squint through the blizzard in an attempt to get a bead on what made the sound!
Well, you don’t get a good look, unfortunately, but you <span class="mu-i">DO</span> get a pretty decent glimpse at its <span class="mu-i">shadow!</span> And what a shadow it is! Roughly the size of a subway train (and probably ten times as clean), the shape sports two massive wings and a long, reptilian tail trailing behind it! Soaring above the abandoned refinery or mill or whatever the hell they have in industrial parks, the great beast banks higher into the stormy air until you can’t see it anymore!
But you sure can <span class="mu-i">HEAR</span> it!
“Shit!” Talbot hisses from behind his blindfold, “What was that?!”
You dunno, you shrug, but you’d <span class="mu-i">kill</span> to have on <span class="mu-i">your</span> side!
“Wait…” Eddie mutters in confusion, “D-didn’t we? Before?”
Huh?
“N-nevermind… I was mistaken.”
Okay, <span class="mu-i">dork</span>. Rolling your eyes at Eddie’s stupid interruption, you weigh your options from behind the rising snowbank. Despite your cover, the winged horror continues to circle your area–no doubt thanks to <span class="mu-i">STUPID TALBOT</span>!
“Hey! I’m not <span class="mu-i">trying</span> to kill everyone, okay?”
Well try less… err… <span class="mu-i">harder!</span> Giving him a light smack on the shoulder, you bring Talbot closer to you as you weigh your options…
>CONTD.
