The hunter's hands gripped the rock wall of the snow capped spire, grunting as he scaled the bare face, snow pelting down on him as he climbed. It would have been easier to climb the gentle slope just around the mountain, but thats where the paint trail lead up.. to preserve the element of suprise, the climb would be nesssacary. His hand dug into the blanket above, hauling himself up onto the ledge. Dusting the snow off of his coat, he looked up, staring into the angry eyes of the Giadrome. Slits in its scales marked where Abith had slashed it repeatedly before it ran off. It let out a loud caw that echoed through the mountain range before charging at the young hunter, who lept ou of the way and landed in a roll, the raptor like creature barely stopping before the edge of the drop. Abith drew his katana and faced the creature. He charged foward, swinging the blade as the creature turned, the sharp edge slicing the skin over its chest. The Giadrome let out a wail of pain as Abith then brought the blade back around at a diagonal, embedding the iron sword into the bird wyvern's shoulder. The Giadrome lashed out, snapping its jaws at the hunter as it lunged forward, the blade slipping out of place. Abith lept back and he jabbed the blade into the creature's chest, warranting yet another warbling bellow from the drome. It launched its self back, a squealch sounding as the blade slipped out, and the drome began to run off. Abith stabbed his blade into the snow as he reached into a leather pocket with one hand, grabbing a blue rod. He smacked it against the hilt of his blade before lobbing it high above the fleeing creature's head and looked down, a blinding flash going off soon after. The drome fell over, temporarilly blinded. Abith raised his blade again and charged the creature, swinging down as he got close, another squealch followed by a spray of blood ensued as the hunter slit the Giadrome's neck.. this hunt, was over...
