A few days later...

Rez: "Are you okay?"

Emarah and Rez are currently trekking through a stone covered area.

Emarah: "(sweating) I'm just not used to this, that's all."

She wipes some sweat off of her forehead.

Rez: "I just don't want you pushing yourself too hard."

Rez pulls Emarah forward and out of the rocks.

Emarah: "I'm fine, real-"

The sun is beginning to set.

Rez: "(awkwardly) The sun is setting, isn't it?"

The leaves around them begin to rustle.

Emarah: "(awkwardly) Yeah..."

Rez's senses aren't picking up any place safe nearby.

Rez: "Ready for a fight?"

Emarah holds her axe out as it glows black.

Emarah: "H-Huh?"

A name echoes in her mind as black bears with mushrooms growing out of their backs surround them.

Emarah: "Get down!"

Rez: "If you say so! Black Scar!"

As Rez hits the deck after sending a single bear to the ground.

Emarah: "Cursed Circle!"

A ring of purple light decapitates the remaining bears in a single strike.

Rez: "(awkwardly) What kind of magic was that?"

Emarah stumbles in place.

Emarah: "(nauseous) I feel kind of dizzy."

Rez swings her free arm over his shoulder.

Rez: "Let's just hurry and find somewhere to crash for the night."

They walk away...
