The sound of rushing water reached the sensitive ears and jostled the half-elf awake. Green eyes shot open and took in the surroundings as the mind tried to process what was going on. She had been lying on a rock and the rushing water sound came from a river next to her.
"Where am I?" She wondered.
As the confused mind finally straightened out, a new instinct pushed its way to the surface. A killer instinct. She was unaware, but this personification of the one named Shale Ahneahe was a fabrication created by the goddess Imorii. The mind guiding her belonged to the Other Self known as Black Rock Shooter Beast. But said mind remembered nothing of her original body, of her original life. It was all part of the tournament. It seemed cruel to rip these individuals from familiar territory and just stick them in new bodies, but in actuality, it was more like they became the other person.
Back to the matter at hand. Shale slowly stood and checked her surroundings once more, making full use of her razor sharp eyesight and hearing to seek out her opponent, the one she was to kill. Seeing no sign of the kid just yet, she took this time to prepare. A pair of battle axes and a large sword called a Ring Glaive were on the ground next to her and a barbed wire whip was strapped to her waist. Shale picked up the battle axes and hopped off of the rock, moving to the nearby soil. She focused her plant magic into that soil. before long, four thick vines burst from the ground and reached for the Ring Glaive, looping through the four circles above the blade. They lifted the weapon and carried it into the trees as the woman followed. One more vine was summoned from the ground, grabbing hold of the whip, and covering it. It was certain that any who were wrapped in this whip would get a nasty surprise. The Ring Glaive was hidden behind the trees as the vine containing the whip hid underground. Preparations complete, Shale continued to move through the forest in search of her opponent, unable to resist her killer instinct. As soon as she saw him, the battle would begin.
