47 Alarm

The sound of steps was faint at first, but became a bit more pronounced with the squelching of mud once it got closer.

Beryl's eyes widened, while Asher's heart raced upon hearing the approaching sound.

~shua~

Red miasma swirled around Beryl's hand as he readied a spell. He didn't wish to give any chance to the person that was approaching.

~flap~

And once the person got closer, the entrance flap of the tent was lifted!

"Corrupting Stinger!" Beryl chanted, as the miasma transformed into a six inch long stinger.

~WHOOSH~

It then shot straight and pierced through some flesh.

"AGH!" A feminine cry was heard, while the sound of blood splashing accompanied it.

~THUD~

Asher watched as the person stabbed by the stinger fell back. 

"A-Alina?" A breath escaped his mouth as he recognized the person.
