Sayn awoke slowly, blinking heavily as she felt the wagon jolt violently. She quickly grasped Alri's thigh to get his attention, he was bracing himself against the vehicle's wall. "Alri, what's going on?" The elf bit his lip and looked down at her, rapidly replying, "I don't--" His breath caught in his throat as he looked up before he loudly cried, "OH HELL!"
Suddenly the side of the wagon Sayn and Alri were on was splintered as a huge minotaur charged it. The horses veered in fright, flipping the remnanants on their side as the driver was gored upon one of the beast's horns. Alri and Sayn flew through the air screaming. The elf recovered in the air acrobatically, but Sayn landed helplessly and hard on the ground and did not move. The rogue went pale for a moment, but then he drew a pair of shortswords with determination in his expression. Without even thinking of Xiang, he charged toward the agressing beast and entered melee combat with it, doubting for the moment that he'd leave the fight alive.
