The snow white fox leapt towards him; Norbert took out a throwing dagger, launching it t towards the small creature. Norbert watched in amazement as it twisted its body mid-air around the projectile only several hairs being cut off from the fox in his attempt of an easy victory.
Before Norbert could appreciate the mauver anymore, the fox was upon him. His hand flashed upwards, catching the fox on the neck as it tried to wiggle out of his grasp, scratching him up. Norbert took his other hand as he held the jaw tight, stopping the fox from trying to bite at his hand.
Holding the fox still, Norbert positioned the head as he stared into its eyes, forcing his point across that the creature was nothing to him. The fox looked back at Norbert, slowly stopping to scratch him as it held its limbs limply by its side.
Norbert breathed a sigh of relief, happy that the fox was no longer trying to attack him. Bending over slowly to not scare the animal, Norbert gently placed it on the ground before letting go, standing back up as he looked down at the creature.
The creature just stared at Norbert for several moments. Norbert watched as he sat back down, expecting the creature to go somewhere else. The moment he sat down, a change came over the fox. Norbert instantly saw a glimmer in its eyes as it tensed up, jumping for Norbert.
Unexpected of the change, Norbert saw as it latched onto his leg, the animal attached to him. Norbert spun around on the spot, dragging it across and underneath himself. Feeling it scraped and finally dislodged from him, Norbert looked behind himself to see what the fox was doing next.
BZZZZAAP
Norbert saw something fly through the sky, a trail of lightning coursing across it as it flew in the night sky. Norbert watched as it was hidden between the tree line, the lightning arc cutting off, dissipating into the air.
As Norbert watched, feeling his leg heal up, staring down at the appendage, not a mark could be found on him; the only evidence that he had even been attacked was the hole in his pant leg. He was annoyed at himself for getting lax, the fox never should have been able to approach him; Norbert stood up, looking out at the forest in front of him.
Looking back to the white room, annoyed that the light couldn't protect him. Turning around, Norbert placed his hand on the wall, feeling the electricity crackling through him, causing his hair to singe and stand on end. There Norbert stood.
Whispering to whoever was listening to him, "I'll be back." He said.
Stepping backwards, disconnecting himself from the wall, the burns it created already being healed. Norbert checked on the energy within himself, confirming that it wasn't being sapped by anything, even with his limited reserves.
Stepping forward, out of the light, the forest seemed to come even more alive, everything looking at him as if he were only a piece of steak. Grinning from ear to ear, Norbert placed his hand over his helmet, shaking it around, confirming it was in its correct position.
He forced the lights in his mask to flash red, the one ruby drop in the sea of emeralds around him. The trees around him were seemingly taller than before, thicker around them, and vines hung on their branches, obscuring his vision of the hall.
Rushing forward, Norbert heard rustling around him; looking up, he only saw the canopy. Norbert hoped Obsius was still fine, having lost track of the bird. Running forward, Norbert saw the mouse still running about, changing his vision to magic. Norbert tripped, being blinded by what he saw.
The green aura in the hall was everywhere, everything emanating off it; Norbert could now see anything, only the same bright green shining back at him. Holding himself up against a tree, his watering eyes slowly calming down as the spots started to slow their dance, Norbert could see the world's details again.

Norbert looked, now able to see again; the creatures around him stopped; Norbert wondered what had gotten into them. Standing up, Norbert saw them all charge towards him: several foxes came towards him, with a single lone tiger, Norbert watching as it waited in the background behind the foxes. Its fur was completely white like all the other creatures he had seen so far, with eyes of crimson red, licking its lips, staring at Norbert.
The foxes upon him no longer able to pay attention to the tiger prowling in the background, Norbert unsheathing his sword as he swiped it before him. The bodies provided no resistance as he cleanly cut through two of them.
Stepping backwards, moving to the side as the other two went on either side of him—the last one latching onto Norbert's arm. Rushing to the tree, Norbert holds his arm out as the fox condition, trying to wiggle with all its might.
With a crunch, Norbert's arm dented the tree, the fox's head turning to mush under the impact. Jumping up, Norbert pushed off the tree, flying through the air. The remaining two foxes jumped towards each other. Norbert landed on a tree as he watched them fight each other in a mad frenzy, having lost all interest in him.
They were watching as they clawed and ripped at each other; they rolled around on the ground through the dirt.
CRACK
YELP
One of them, their neck in the other's jaw as Norbert watched its head limp downwards after the last cry to the world. Startled by the sudden end to the fight, the winning fox still held onto their victim, looking around the forest for something.
Satisfied with itself, the creature bit through, the body falling to the ground as it snapped up at the head. Norbert watched as it ate the body and the others; only one left. Over the process, Norbert watched as it grew slightly more prominent, taller than before.
It had been flesh rippling under its fur, tail going on end as it flexed itself, its fur and muscles now settling down, Norbert seeing it calm down, panting slightly from the exertion of the change. Walking over to the last one, about to start eating it, the fox disappeared in a flash.
Norbert followed after the white blur, only seeing two wings as it flew past the trees, Norbert losing sight of it. The fox instantly chased after the flying creature, not wanting its prey to be stolen from it.
Norbert watched as the fox went off, also disappearing between the trees. Norbert looked around as he jumped out of the tree, turning to the position where the tiger was before. It stayed precisely still, watching Norbert as it liked its chops again.
Norbert tilted his head to the side, waiting to see what the tiger would do. The creature lowered its front two legs, its hind legs sticking up as its tail wagged in the air from side to side, reminding Norbert of a periscope on a submarine.
Groaning in annoyance, Norbert said, "Why can't you just leave me alone."
The sound caused a change in the tiger as it pounced towards Norbert. He saw its muscles rippling as it launched towards him, Norbert sending the energy around his body in a twirl, ready to exert when needed.
He stepped to the side, slashing slightly with his blade along its leg as the paw came for Norbert, clambering at him.
SCREECH
The sound of its claws scratching against his helmet, Norbert happy to have it on his head as he turned around, following the trail of blood as the tiger looked at Norbert, growling in annoyance at him.
Norbert gets to his stance again, standing on the side, one hand behind him in the air for balance, the other with the sword pointing up, standing on his feet; Norbert waits for the tiger to strike. The tiger growled in response to his actions, waiting for Norbert to react.
For several moments, the two parties both stay still. Rushing forward, Norbert leapt towards the tiger, his feet seemingly gliding over the ground, the rough terrain providing no resistance to the man.
Norbert meets the tiger, swiping the blade. Its claws impacted with his blade, sending it swerving off to the side, only taking the tiger in the side, a whisker coming off its face. A second paw is coming for Norbert. He twisted the sword around in the air, spinning around clockwise as he held it straight down, digging it into the ground and leaning on it.
The sword dug into the ground as Norbert was pushed back, the tiger's strength increasing the longer they fought. Norbert wondered how that could be. His sword leaned towards him, the hilt catching the paw, stopping it from travelling closer to Norbert.
Going down on one leg, Norbert kicked out on the tiger's stomach, sending it flying through the air. Not giving it a chance to recover, Norbert swung his sword down at the beast as soon as it tumbled across the ground,
The tiger looking up at Norbert, for its entire life it had always been the hunter, eating and devouring everything in its path. The only time when it had been prey was in this instance, with the executioner's axe coming for its neck.
Even throughout the fight it always thought it was better, nothing could have taken its position. As the life rolled away from the body, its body instinctively jerked outwards, thrashing around on the ground, cutting up and harming the man who killed it better than when it was alive.
