The temperature in the tunnel suddenly dropped.
“Oh come on! You couldn’t wait until I jumped in?”
Somos dashed forward, weaving around the spikes and threw himself at the first opponent that had made it to the tunnel mouth. He batted the pike out of his face and they both crashed to the ground, ice shattering under them. Somos neatly rolled to his paws before deftly dodging a pike stabbed in his direction. Another swung their pike downwards, forcing him to jump back. Now they were out in the open, Somos could dodge and weave between them and use the environment as best he could. Their lithe bodies kept up pretty well but they couldn’t rush him all at once without hitting a teammate. His only advantage in this fight.
*These guys are pretty accustomed to fighting.* Somos noted as he snapped at a cave dweller who slithered too close for his liking. They had begun to spread out. Not the easiest situation to get out of. *That conniving woman better be grateful for this!*
He had the attention of quite a few of them but two more were running up to Frosty.
Lucky them.
He almost felt like denying her request out of spite, but since he had no intention of talking it out with the incoming party, he would have no choice but to fight them. Which might very well have been her plan all along. He may have underestimated her cunning this time, but it wouldn't happen again.
In the meantime, he had some fools to put back in their place, "Come on, Rat, where's your fighting spirit gone? We don't need to avoid them. They need to learn to avoid *us*." With that, he slammed a paw to the ground, a flurry of deadly frozen spires erupting before them. He could hear the newcomers let out startled gasps, but their sinewy bodies avoided the worst of it with surprising agility. Their quick footsteps echoed through the cave as they moved swiftly and gracefully, dodging the obstacles in their path.
*'No matter'*, he thought, they couldn't escape him forever. He just had to take it to the next level. A menacing smirk grew on his face as he let the cold of his core spread across his body, chilling the air around him.
Somos was so perplexed by Frosty’s philosophy that he almost missed the warning. He tilted his ears forward and focused.
“More of those guys?” Somos guessed. “They sound upset. Sounds like something we should avoid.”
They rounded a bend and another cavern opened up before them. Inside, a group of those cave dwelling reoseans scrambled about, collecting their things and grabbing long pikes tipped sharpened green crystal.
“Oh, we definitely should avoid whatever this is.”
But it was too late. One was pointing a dexterous finger towards them, shouting for the others in a series of clicks and chirps.
“Sorry to spring this on you boys, but, like I said, I have a job for you.” A familiar voice echoed behind them, Somos whipped around to see two glowing orbs in the dark. “If you would be so kind as to take care of those traitors for us, that would be great. But don’t worry, we’ll see each other again soon enough. We just need time to *collect* *our* things.” The glow of her eyes faded and her voice grew faint as she seemed to disappear into the tunnel walls.
He didn't stop to answer, "Plans are for the weak. Why would I need one when I can handle whatever comes my way." He wasn't curious about these new fellows, per se, but rather *interested* in knowing what kind of threat they could pose.
He wasn't a tracker, but the stale air of long-closed caverns made identifying foreign smells especially easy. Following her trail along the twists and turns of this so-called labyrinth, he slowed when he heard voices ahead. "Sounds like we're about to have company," he said as he kept advancing.
“Showoff,” Somos muttered. A lot may have changed but his lack of magic persisted. He still hadn’t sparked and that ticked him off more than his short stature.
He clambered up the ice stairs, his claws gripping the smooth surface as best as he could so as to not fall off. The last thing he needed was to embarrass himself in front of Frosty.
The ledge opened up to the mouth of a tunnel. Dim crystals lined the corners and lit the way forward. Sure enough, their “guide” had been waiting for them at the top. She was gone now, leaving only her scent. Frosty was confidently striding into the tunnel.
“Do you have a plan?” Somos asked as he caught up. “Because, you don't look like you do.”
