"Good luck." She stepped back from the moat as the serpent rose above the water, giving out a horrifying roar.

"God... Sounded like me in the morning sometimes." Axl readied to fire away, aiming for the beast's head.

The angel hung back, watching how the snake moved as Axl attacked it. She ran tactical strategies, patterns, and habits in seconds. How did it respond to his actions?

Axl fired off a few arrows, doing minimal damage to the snake's thick skin. "Well...maybe my axe will do better?" He quickly shifted between weapons, seeing if it'll work any better.

Wisteria ran at the serpent quickly, using her angel blood's enhanced abilities to move faster. She tested the thickness of the creature's scales by slashing its underbelly and jumping back if it decided to counter her.

In response to the small gashes on various areas on its body, the serpent raised its iron tail, slamming it at them.

Taking a blow by the beast's tail, the angel recovered as best she could. She was unsteady on her feet, but that didn't stop Wisteria from rushing at it again. This time, she threw a few throwing knives at its snout, a very sensitive area for most animals.

A sickening crunch could be heard from Axl. He kept his distance and switched to his bow again, the arrows and her knives seemed to be working a bit.

(Alright, I gotta go. I don't think I'll be back on before you leave. So, see you tomorrow.)

(Byez!)

Gritting her teeth, she searched her mind for an Old Gellic word that might do more damage to the snake. She kept using her blade to cut it while doing so.

('Sup?)

(Heyo.)

The combination of her slashes and Axl's arrows proved to be useful, sickening roars were heard from the beast as it fell into the water, the crystal clear blue was turning a murky violet color.

Wisteria panted slightly, still ready to fight should the creature rise again. Her emerald green irises shone with a light only seen when she was extremely angry, excited, or fighting.

(Ugh, my finger hurts.)

Axl used his axe as a crutch, "Well, I suppose that went better than expected." He slowly made his way towards her, "You're an excellent fighter, ma'am."

(Throw some ice or something on it.)

("m at school, dork.)

"You'd have made a good soldier," she replied with a faint smile.

(Blow that pop stand, man.)

"I don't think the military would allow a wannabe rocker to join." He laughed a bit, "Now, we just need to collect the feather."

The angel looked around for Azure.

"So, you actually managed to defeat the beast. That was amazing. Perhaps, you two will be the first ones to successfully obtain mother's prize." Azure laughed innocently, handing the two their feathers. "Your next trial is located on top of the central mountain, you'll meet my younger brother, Electarius."

"Thank you, kid." Axl smiled, safely setting the feather away.

She pouted a bit, "I'm not a kid, thank you. I'm over 5,000 years old."

Again, she cracked a smile. "You sound like Crocter."

Axl stared at her blankly "What's a Crocter?"

"Not a what, a who. He was.. well, what he does isn't important. I consider him to be my grandfather."

Axl simply nodded in response, keeping himself propped up with his axe. "If Azure's the oldest of the seven, I wonder what the youngest will look like?"
