The reason she was here at the beach in the first place, so far from the Basin, was that she had never been to any beach before. The Basin's phantom had started her journey a few days ago. Once she arrived, Arah was captivated by the sand and the cold water, so she had stuck around to walk along the shore for another day or so. After her long night and day though, she had grown tired and had slept through the day, happily curled up on the beach listening to the waves wash up the shore. At least she was well rested, ready to face anything...except for this.
'Curiosity killed the cat.' She sure as hell understood that expression now. She had heard the unnatural roar of the creature first. That was what had sparked the curiosity that coursed through her. Funny, it should have been fear that shot through her at the beast's roar. A voice spoke out moments after that mechanically roar had sounded. It told her that anyone who was brave enough to face the...beast would be rewarded. The only problem was that the mare had also heard the almighty crash of the beast's feet hitting the earth, deterring her momentarily. No, admittedly she didn't what what had caused the sound or how it had made the earth shake, but a flutter of nerves sat in her stomach. Arah knew that the gods offered prizes...rewards for those brave enough to take on their challenges. So she figured it must be a god that was creating a challenge for whatever sick reason.
For another sick reason or not, Arah wanted a shot at the prize.
She had no clue what the beast was, but how hard could it be right? Rising from the sand, Arah began to walk towards the direction of the terrifying roar. It was a beautiful night at least, it was slightly cold with the breeze but luckily Arah was used to worse after living in The Basin. Practically freezing to death at night unless she was curled up in her den. Her thoughts where focussed on the challenge ahead once though as another flurry of nerves shot through her.
She strolled along the beach, with carefully quiet footsteps. She wasn't sure if she would be able to take on the challenge yet, should she need to back away she wanted to be able too. She rounded a corner and when her eyes settled on the beast her mouth tumbled open. "Holy shit." It appeared Crash's bad language had rubbed off on her, no doubt the beast had also heard her. It was shiny in the moonlight, a kind deadly gorgeous charm was created. The beast was a bear standing at a colossal height, it screamed danger. Not just from the height either, no, Arah spotted the claws and the teeth on the creature. She wasn't sure what the name was for the creature's casing but it looked solid, in fact nothing about this bear appeared to be fragile. How dare the god plant this in her home, where her loved ones lived? She had already lost a family. She wasn't about to loose this one. With that thought, courage flowed through her. Yes, the nerves where still there, at the moment it was just her and the beast. But maybe she could distract it until back up arrived. She would willing sacrifice herself for those in this world.
For once she didn't try to introduce herself. The 'royal' blood in her came through, the niceness vanished and the cry for blood rang loud and clear. First, pin point what the bear can use as weapons. The most important weapon, a brain, it was alive. The claws, teeth, height, weight and it's indestructible casing all came next. Some of these could also be used against the beast. Weakness...every living being had to have a heart right? Her golden eyes locked onto the beast's chest craning her neck to see properly. Maybe she could use her antlers to take out a leg and topple the bear over? Might as well try it, she wasn't tall enough to reach the bear's chest. Her golden eyes locked onto the beast's back legs and she quickly moved into position on the left hand side of the beast.
Arah accepted the fact that she was crazy for taking on the creature. She summed up all the courage that had come to her and began a full blown tilt towards the bears back left leg. She hoped to pierce the hard outer casing or dent it, causing the animal pain. At the same time she hoped the impact would make the animal loose balance, whether from the pain or from the shock of being attacked. Bears always had better balance on their back legs compared to the front arms/paws.
Take out the rear end, topple the bear over. That was Arah's plan.
