clutches her swollen belly, whispering with a wry smirk "Well, this is one hell of a baby shower, huh?"
rolls her eyes and chuckles Oh, come on, goalmuse! Don't start talking in German now. We both know I'm not the best with foreign languages. But hey, if you're trying to confuse any potential attackers with some mystical wolf language, who am I to judge? gives a mischievous grin Just don't leave me hanging, okay?
A dark figure emerged from the shadows behind them and started to crawl towards them before leaping onto spike and dragging her back into the shadows, goalmuse yells at the monster that attacked her pack mate VERDAMMT NOCH MAL! The Monster pulls Spike into the darkness and spikes hear cries echo out as she’s dragged deeper into the darkness… Her skin slowly turning grayish and loosing color as the last echoes of her cries fade away…)
gasps in horror Holy shit, goalmuse! Did you just swear in German? That thing... that thing just killed Spike! No, no, no, this can't be happening! paces back and forth, hands trembling We have to do something! We can't just stand here and watch another one of our pack mates die!
ABER SPIKE WOHNTE NICHT WERDEN SIE?
frantically shakes her head No, no, no! This can't be happening! Spike was looking forward to being a mother! She wanted to cuddle her pups and teach them all her tricks! grabs goalmuse's arm We have to find her, goalmuse! We can't let her die like this! We need to go after her, save her! What if it's still time? What if there's a chance to bring her back?
Still time? Like hell. That thing made her a statue. She's as dead as they come. And even if there was a chance, we'd be wasting our time. There's nothing we can do. Even the gods won't help us with this.
pauses for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes Fuck the gods, goalmuse! I refuse to believe this is the end for Spike.
So, what's your plan, then? Go charging in blind? Or do you want me to show you how a real hunter takes care of business?
wipes away a tear, determined I'm not going in blind, goalmuse. We're going to find that thing and make it pay for what it did to Spike.
Alright, if you're sure. But remember, you asked for this. And don't come crying to me when things go south. I’ve hunted many of these creatures before… I know what we’re getting into.
grabs her bat, gripping it tightly Cry to you? Hell no, goalmuse! I may be pregnant, but I'm not one to back down from a fight.
Take off the armor then, you don’t want to get blood on it. Especially if you might lose it…
blushes and quickly removes her armor, revealing her pregnant belly Yeah, yeah, keep your eyes on the prize, goalmuse.
Stay behind me, we don’t want you getting injured or worse…
whispers Alright, alright, I'll stay behind you. But promise me, goalmuse, if anything happens to me, you'll take care of my pups, okay?
Nahh, honestly most wolves wouldn’t care, but fine I’ll keep that in mind… Let’s go then…
<As they venture deeper into the darkness, goalmuse and Spike encounter a terrifying pack of monstrous creatures. They fight fiercely, but Spike gets severely injured in the process.>
Where’d I put that anti-bleeding kit…
grits her teeth, clutching her bleeding side Shit, goalmuse! It's getting bad, we need to stop the bleeding now! Hurry up and find that damn kit!
Dammit… Found it… Spike hold still…
winces in pain, tries to steady her trembling hands Just get on with it, goalmuse! This isn't the time for your shaky hands!
My hands aren’t shaky… he applied pressure to her wound, and applied the bandages from the anti-bleed kit on her wound and wrapped it tightly There that should hold until we can get you somewhere safe… Do you know if those bastards got your pup?
clenches her jaw, eyes filled with determination Those monsters better not lay a finger on my pup!
Is this your kid? holds the tiny wolf pup in his hands
reaches out and gently takes the pup from goalmuse's hands Yes, this is my pup. Meet Ferret. He's going to grow up to be as cunning as his mother. softly strokes Ferret's fur, smiling Now, let's get out of here before those monsters come back.
walks out slowly and carefully
whispering anxiously Come on, goalmuse, we can't waste any time. Those creatures could be closing in on us.
That seems unlikely considering the way they were spread out… Anyways you good to walk?
adjusts her grip on her bat Yeah, I'm good to walk. Let's not waste any more time. These creatures don't deserve to see the light of day.
Agreed… keeps walking forward until they exit the cave
as they step out into the sunlight Finally, fresh air! Feels good to get out of that damn cave. looks around, scanning the area
the horizon starts to turn pinkish, and their ears slowly prick up
nervously fidgets with her bat, scanning the horizon goalmuse, do you hear that? It sounds like a... a battlefield.
Hold it… There is a reason they left me alive…
puts a hand on goalmuse's shoulder, speaking urgently What do you mean, goalmuse? What reason would they have for leaving you alive?
a massive black wolf made out of thousands of shadow wolves stare down goalmuse from the sky above, it’s eyes reflect the moonlight he jumps back in surprise Uhh… Never mind…
<The black wolf drops down from the sky and devours Spike in a matter of seconds, leaving goalmuse in shock and disbelief.>
Hey uh… Drop the bat and run, trust me… I’ve seen this happen before…
drops the bat, her face filled with horror What the fuck, goalmuse?! Why didn't you warn me? This...this can't be happening!
JUST RUN!!! grabs spike’s arm and dashes off, running as fast as possible with a black wolf being hot on his trail…
panting heavily, adrenaline coursing through her veins goalmuse, where are we going? Is there somewhere safe we can hide?
Nuh uh! Keep running… I’ll tell you later…
running alongside goalmuse, glancing over her shoulder Alright, goalmuse, spill the beans! Why did you say drop the bat and run?
You know how my people worship wolves right?
gasping for breath Worship wolves? What does that have to do with anything?
