Michael pointed his gun at the creature, and Sarah dropped into her guard position with her Tether arm outstretched. Now she was much closer she could see bony protrusions all over its body, with a heavy cluster of bone at the end of each arm, which smoothed out into a sharp looking pointed talon. The face which looked featureless from a distance was a bony dark mask and she could make out the creatures curved canines. It was hunched over in front of them, snarling, moving as they moved as if it was sizing them up.
“I act with righteousness,” said Michael pulling his pistols trigger.
The creature moved eye blurring fast bringing up its bony arms to act like a shield. Sarah watched in horror as the bullets bounced harmlessly off its arms. In return the creature roared and bounded towards them.
“Oh screw this…” said Sarah quickly putting the words of an indice in her head and releasing it. “VALIDUS ATTONITUS!”
