Island Chapter 5: Taur

————

If I’m unlucky enough, this might be the last you’ll see from me. But either way, it’s not like I’ve seen anyone else around to mourn my loss. I hate thinking like this, so tell you what, I kill that thing, then I’m making a mask. I don’t care.

I loaded my crossbow with bolts and leapt onto Paris like I have so many times before. It’s muscle memory at this point. I tugged on her reigns and urged her to move and FAST. Taking her reigns in one hand, I patted her side, keeping a move on while scanning for enemies. I had only one in mind, that lurking taur, it’ll be difficult to lead new tames back home with that around.

I pulled Paris to a stop once I caught sight of its horns, pulling my crossbow from my belt, pivoting, and aiming. As soon as the first shot was fired, I knew I had to lock in and BOOK IT. I made Paris run far enough away for me to shoot it from a distance before it could catch up, hopefully taking cover in the leaves of the trees.

It wasn’t too long until the taur caught up, about two or three shots or so. It’s head collided with Paris’s side before I could even load another arrow. It all happened so fast, I was down before I knew it. It seized the moment and rammed me. God, it was sharp and painful. It bit at me, fast and fierce, sinking its fangs into the arm I threw up to protect my face.

I was just about blacking out when Paris just ran in. This absolute madlad just ran in. The message popped up a few moments later like she freakin mauled the taur to death. I was just about knocking on death’s door, but I think I’d much rather die after taking a trophy than without one. Soooo… I staggered over and uh. Collected. To hell with all of this, the aesthetic has been obtai

Shoutout to the time I hit the wrong button and hopped off Paris during a taur fight. And shoutout to the monster I have created by dumping some of her stats into melee for a joke. She literally was like “Screw ts I’ll do it myself” and WON.

P.S, kinda sucks that I basically have to recreate my own story just bc I forgot to write for months.
