"It's not that." Kaori said. "I just have this... uneasy feeling..."
The rustles in the bushes continued, but this time they got gradually more distant sounding, as if the creatures who were stalking the group have suddenly ran off.

"It looks like the goblins agree with you, Kaori" Kazuki said.
"Something seems to have scared them off," Yerth noted.
"Everyone, stay on your guard," Vira commanded. "And let's try to pick up the pace."

"We're almost through." Terka said, noticing a clearing up ahead.
"That's good." Kaori said.

"Maybe the goblins ran off because we were coming to the clearing where they can't hide?" Kani asked as the group walked out into the clearing.
"I don't think that's it," Kazuki said. "Look." He pointed up into the sky. A small dark colored object circled overhead.
"What is that thing?" Yerth asked.
The dark colored object let out a horrendous screech then begane to dive at the party, very quickly growing bigger and bigger as it swooped down. In no time, the dark object which had been too high up to see details started to resemble a giant hawk coming in to grasp it's prey.
"Everyone! Get down!" Vira yelled. The giant hawk just barely missed Megumi as she dove for cover. The massive bird swooped just over her, and then flapped it's wings trying to regain altitude. Large spikes were visible on it's head and neck as it climbed back into the sky.
"It's going to come around for another pass," Vira said. 'Everyone get ready!" She drew her sword and struck a fighting stance. "Megumi, it went for you, so get back into the trees." She ordered.
"R-Right," Megumi replied, as she moved back into the relative safety of the trees.
"Tari, you should go with Megumi and make sure she's safe," Kazuki suggested as he drew his sword.

Grega and Terka drew their weapons while Tari ran back with Megumi.
From the distance, a trio of goblins were running for cover through the grass.

The giant hawk let out a screech as it turned and entered another dive toward the group. Once again it decended with amazing speed, this time focusing it's attention on Grega.
"Here it comes again," Vira shouted. "Attack as soon as it's low enough!"
"Looks like we know what those goblins were scared off," Kani commented.
Kazuki charged his sword with electricity. "Lightning Drive!" He shouted, shooting a blast of electrical energy at the hawk. The hawk swiftly dodged and continued it's dive toward Grega.

"We should stay back too." Kaori said to Yerth.
Just before the creature reached Grega, she dodged it's talons, plunging a dagger in it's leg before falling down in front of Vira.

"Right," Yerth replied, as he headed for the trees too.
The hawk screeched in pain from the dagger. It slammed into the ground then struggled to it's feet. It shock off the impact then quickly turned and snapped at Grega with it's powerful beak. Vira stepped in and blocked the hawk's bite with her sword.
"You should have gone for the kill," Vira scolded.

Grega hopped on the bird's back, grasping one of it's horns firmly, then ducked down to Vira. "...well why aren't you then?" she asked.

"I was blocking it's attack," Vira replied.
The hawk let go of Vira's sword, jerked it's head around, and flapped it's wings wildly, trying to shake Grega off of it.
