Description
Anisa stops by the creek and just sits there for a minute or so, calmly gazing at her reflection. Apparently, tripping must have made a lot of noise, because when she turns around to stand, she finds herself inches away from the snake-tail of a chimera.
Anisa’s not normally one to panic when she comes to monsters, but chimeras are typically bad news. However, this one is facing away from her, and the snake is examining her, as if considering whether or not to bite. She backs away from the monster, into the creek, as quietly as she can, and draws Guardian.
The chimera whips around and pounces at her. Anisa angles Guardian and pierces its heart; it dissolves into gold dust that coats her wet-again clothing.
The ginger is feeling pretty proud of herself when she hears a scream echo throughout the trees, causing birds to scatter. She realizes it’s her own with a detached thought; the feeling of fire races up her arm, and when she looks down, there are two puncture marks.
The tail got me, Anisa registers vaguely.

When the scream pierces the silence, John instantly knows who it belongs to. Not even taking the time to breathe, he continues running at full speed, turning sharply when reaching the creek. “Anisa!” When he spies the daughter of Hermes, he drops to the ground beside her. “You okay?” He instantly knows she isn’t. The wounds are clear as day to his trained eye.
Cursing in Latin, he wishes that he brought his backpack today, rather than leaving it at the beach.

John’s voice is faint against the rushing pulse that beats in her ears. “No, I don’t think so, no,” she says distantly, attempting to keep her thoughts from drifting off. That would be especially not good at this time. “Does chimera poison separate you? ‘Cause, it’s like I’m not really here...”
The sharp throb of poison racing closer to her heart brings her back to reality, the clouds of the sky sharpening and unblending. “Do you have anything?” She asks quickly, breath beginning to come more shallowly.

Ardren can feel the sting of tears coming. Maybe I do barely know her, but so what? “You’ll be okay, Anisa.” Seeing no other way, he lifts her off the ground, for the second time today. “Just focus on me. Don’t let me blur, or it is over.” Taking off at a fast sprint, John carries her through the forest, skillfully dodging all of the trees and their roots.
Slowly, it becomes apparent by the way the monsters shy away from the two, that Ardren is glowing. His abilities are showing again, but he gives no care to the wind. One second, one out of place thought... All those years of training for moments like this, and he did everything wrong. Forgot the godly food, first aid, anything. So far, the only thing he has done right, was getting to her, and getting Anisa to help.

It’s hard, not letting him blur. Everything else is rushing by faster than Anisa can make out, but she keeps her eyes trained on Ardren, the purple and copper snapping open whenever they begin to close. She can’t tell whether it’s the chimera poison raising her body temperature, or simply the nearness of John to her, but either way, she’s getting hot, fast.
“You’re glowing,” she murmurs curiously. “Again.”

OH MY GOD. I DID SOMETHING REALISTIC. AND I DID A BACKGROUND.

Mind=blown.

Lazy hands are lazy. Don't comment. I tried to fix them. But I couldn't. I'm so sorry.

Done while listening to Only if For a Night by Florence + the Machine. Part of it fits the scene rather well:
And I heard your voice,
As clear as day,
And you told me I
Should concentrate...

So much to explain... I've been wanting to do this for a while. I tried to get as many of the details accurate as I could without referencing the RP, because this was drawn late at night, when I had no access to the computer.

That's all for now, I think.
