CHAPTER FIFTY ONE
Was this all to get my hopes up, where does this joke end?
~
With Sky upon his back all Leaf could do was stand and wait
He might’ve had a chance before but now it was too late
A big Red Panther pounced and he just closed his eyes in fear
Expected that its roar would be the last thing that he’d hear
But when it didn’t reach him and instead he heard it cry
He opened up his eyes, confused to see Twig stand and sigh
The monster, now in pain beneath a tree, let out a groan
In front of Leaf, Twig stood with his extended fist, alone
The monsters didn’t share Leaf’s daft expression and dismay
And soon another portal monster was heading their way
But this time his observed Twig turn to coldly face the foe
And punch it with a strength he didn’t have just days ago

Instinctively he used appraisal to observe the fight
Hoping that perhaps some blue screens might help shed some light
But all that he confirmed was that the fearsome beast was strong
And Twig’s screen obviously still had something very wrong

A creature home to mountains where it hunts its prey in packs
Its difficult to predict any Rat Lion’s attacks
They may not be smarter than a rat, but stay alert
If it doesn’t bite you, its long tail can sting and hurt
No child should have been able to repel so strong a beast
Strength like that took twenty years or so at least
One on one, Leaf may have managed to catch it off guard
But even young pebble couldn’t punch something that hard
Lost in thought, another two big monsters came their way
Leaf had nowhere else to go, so in that spot he’d stay
Another Red Panther came first but Twig just grabbed its throat
And slammed it down atop an incoming Bone Eating Goat

This monster could run through a forest, full of big tall trees
Running through whatever object blocked its path with ease
Even dragons’ bones would break if hit with so much force
It’s jaws can chew through bone and its as fast as a knight’s horse
The two monsters collapsed into a pile and ceased to move
Leaf wondered what Twig had done to so quickly improve
But as Twig stood before the monsters he’d just had to kill
His face contorted like he was just about to be ill
He stumbled backward, bumping into Leaf along the way
Who fumbled with his words while searching for something to say
But while Twig toppled over, throwing up upon the ground
A Fang Rabbit bit into Leafs leg, flinging him around
In the chaos, Leaf dropped Sky while trying to break free
The Monster had a firm grip upon the young speedster’s knee
He screamed so loud in pain, it seemed to make the forest ring
Twig felt cold and trembled as he heard his friend screaming
Achievement: Fight!
I’ll only tell you this one time, because time’s running low
Killing isn’t easy for the average new hero
But if you don’t get over all the guilt and pain you feel
You’re going to watch both your friends be killed in this ordeal
The words jumped off the screen into Twig’s young conflicted mind
Telling him to leave the guilt of killing things behind
The first kind words of genuine advice his god had said
But he was too weak, so he and his friends would soon be dead
