"I choose... To take this one's life." The Nimmt says. Ayden thrashes in the Nimmt's grip, screaming in pain, but the Nimmt doesn't let go until it feels satisfied. It then confronts you. "And I will end you the same way." Ayden wasn't dead yet, but he was in a small coma at the moment as his mind and body adjusts to this new change.

"I wasn't lying when I said I would freeze or stab you." She uses her ice breath and aims it toward the Nimmt. She didn't stop for five minutes.

" I don't know why monsters like to eat me either. " Riley says in a strained voice.
The bear closes his eyes as well and snickered. "You're partner tribute doesn't like you either. Thinks you're fat." The bear remarked, letting go of Riley's shoulder in order to talk.
Riley mutters something under his breath, placing his free hand on the bear's fur. A moment later, the bear was hopping up and down as if it had ants in its imaginary pants. He drops Riley and howls as it runs off, "You haven't seen the last of me!"
Riley gets to his feet, "Sorry for not using that earlier. I used an illusion. The bear sure feels as if it's there, but it isn't really." He winces and applied pressure to his shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Obviously. That illusion things cool. Uh.. is your shoulder okay?" I look around for something clean or at least cleanish to use as a bandage for Riley.

The other Nimmts scramble backwards away from you. The Nimmt freezes, literally.
Ayden starts to stir again, whimpering as he gets into a sitting position. "The world hates me."

"Wounds heal." Riley says.
There were feathers, more feathers, and... a plethora more of feathers.

"I don't think I've ever met someone so... wimpy. Get up, you're coming with me." She ignores the other Nimmts and grabs Ayden's arm to try and pull him up.

(This is really fun so far!)
"Yeah, but they do heal slowly and how are you meant to fight with an injured shoulder?" I grab a handful of feathers. "Think you can use these as a bandage or something?"

"I'm not wimpy." Ayden complains, stumbling to his feet. The Nimmts snickered. The path in front of you continues until splitting again.
Left - feathers
Right - runes

"Yeah, sure. That's why you cower at everything." She drags him down the feathered path. "Now, I'm going to help you learn to have a backbone. Okay?"
