I blinked, confused. After a moment, I realized that I must have somehow made myself invisible once again. Emboldened by the idea that it couldn't see me, I charged toward the Barrack and slashed at it, though I still wasn't quite used to my weapon. Hell, I wasn't used to any weapon. I was a farmer, not a fighter. Still, I did my best to aim for somewhere that seemed vital.
(I'm not entirely sure how tall it is. If I can't reach even the belly or something, I'll go for the legs.)

(I believe I described how big it was before. Or at the very least described that it was much like a T-rex so that could give you a hint of how big he is)
A single gash from behind the knee caused a sprt of dark blood and an agonizing howl. The monster almost tumbled over but still managed to keep its balance. But now the monster knew where its prey was and turned around and stamped its massive foot to the ground with a heavey crunch. fortunately it missed, but still caused Danilia to fall ack and drop the sword, rendering visible once more.
When the Barrack caught site of her, its head was low to the ground, growling deeply in its rumbling throat as its beastial eyes burned with a new found rage. But just before it lunged at her, Slidera intervened, back on her feet, as she leaped onto the monster's hulking back, an astounding sight to see in fact. She herself was almost as large as a cottage, but as she played rodio on the back of the Barrack, the hulking beast dwarfed her. Slidera managed to sink her venomous fangs into the beast's tough hide. But the toxins were barely slowling it down as it shuffled its spine, causing Slidera to sleep, and the Barrack locked its massive jaws around Slidera's nimble torso with a painful chomp.
Slidera let out an ear-splitting scream of agony as she struggled to hopelessly break the monster's toothy grip as blood trickled from the Barrack's maw.

(okay, so yea. I was thinking legs, but then I'm like "well, I dunno... maybe I should try to get somewhere else" but so. XD)
I scrambled for the sword, trying to stay as calm as I could. "Leave her alone!" I shouted, slashing at it's leg once more. If anything, I hoped it would cause the Barrack to drop Slidera.

(ok) As she charged at the monster, she was suddenly in shock as she saw a large shape, just as big as Slidera, zoomed past her and then delivered a powerful, lightning fast side kick to the temple of the Barrack's thick skull and then explode in a ball of fire upon impact. The blow was so poweul, it instantly unhinged the beast's jaws, letting go of Slidera as it went crashing into another cottage. At first, the interloper looked like a possible Abysmal. The creature was bipedal, humanoid, with bulky hooves, and long crooked horns that were decorated with golden braces. The creature's head resembled that of goat, but replacing what would be goat eyes were powerful, energetic eyes; full of spice and courage as the crimson iris shimmered from the vibrant light of near by flames. She was clearly a female due to her apparant feminine, yet muscularly fit, figure. Much like Slidera, she too, wore an interesting assotment of attire, wearing a thin groan gaurd, and nimble breast plate armor. She also had metal bronze bracelets on her wrists as well as just above her hooves. The most interesting feature on her was the fact that at the end of her long and thin tail was a single flame emitting from it, flickering and sparking ever so often. Slidera was barely consious, her eyes were starting to close as the loss of blood was beginning to take its toll on her. "D...Danilia..." she said weakly, not even noticing the creature standing beside her.

I rushed to Slidera's side, trembling. "Slidera..." I said softly. "I..it's okay... It'll be okay..." I put my hand on her, looking up at the other Abysmal. "Can you help her?" I asked, my voice wavering. "Please... I don't know what to do..."

(I wasnt so sure if you got the picture I uploaded to help get a better picture of what she looks like.) The Creature looked down at her, then at Slidera's wounds. She kneeled down and looked closely. With a small smirk, she replied with a butch tone, "Ah, she'll be fine. Just put her back in Fla'uru." Her ear twitched as she glanced back and said enthusiastically, "Oh-Ugly's gett'n back up. I got this!" She then cracked her knuckles and charged. Meanwhile, another voice from behind Danilia said, "Just say Slidera's name and then the swords name." The voice was definitely male, the tone; tanor, but had volumes of experience. When danilia turned around, she saw a young man, only a few years older than her, taller too, with deep crimson hair and a mild gote to match. His left eye was hidden by his draping red lochs, while the rest of his hair was tucked neatly behind his ear. His gaze was a calm stare and metal gray color. He wore attire that suggested that he was from the far east, like he had just traveled a desert. Strapped around his waist was a sword with great and abnormal detail. The shape of the blade was very different, the graftsmenship seemed similar, decorated with strange jewels as well, but of a red variety.

(I got it. Thank you. I also see the one of the sword.)
I nodded. "Thank you..." I muttered, turning back to Slidera. "Slidera... Fa'uru..." I said, hoping it would work. The young man seemed to know what he was talking about.

(What you think? was I accurate?)
The sword shimmered, then glowed in a blinding blue light that engulfed Slidera just before she past out. By the time the light had faded, not even the droplets of blood remained, she had completely vanished. But with in her clutch, she can feel the hilt pulsate like a heart beat as the embedded jewels continued to glow brightly like stars.
The man, without warning suddenly pushed her with a hard tackle, but to only get her out of the way as The Barrack came stomping past, The goat woman wrapping her arms tightly around its jaws with incredible strength, though that didnt stop the Barrrack from pushing her as her hooved grinded into the dirt, struggling to maintain her holding posture for support.
As the red head got back up, he looked at Danilia and said quietly, "Keep your Tirbrin safe, in a few hours, she'll be as good as new...if you excuse me." he then made a over the top polite bow, as though he was performing a play, and then rushed over to aid the female. As he pulled out his sword he shouted, "Tal'Ruk!" And the red jewels suddenly glowed vibrant until the very blade ignited and was engulfed in fire. He then swing the sword in a downward reverse arch, as though he was trying to toss, but that was just the case, a spinning ball of red hot flame can spinning out from his swing and left a massive burning gash in the thick side of the Barrack, causing the monster to loose balance, and te Goat woman saw an opportunity as she gripped the horns of the Barrack, she twisted left, jerking the monster and falling to its side with a crushing thud. Then, after breaking its ribs and spraining its neck, she then finished it off by raising her left leg up as high as she could. The hoof ignited in flame as she then slammed it down with a powerful down kick, smashing the Barrack's skull with explosive affect. The monster's last breath had past, and the mighty Barrack laid still and dead.

(You were, yea. But it's nice to have a picture, if possible. You know the saying. A picture is worth a thousand words.)
I stood there, able to do nothing but stare in awe. They were incredible, and they worked so well together. Slidera and I mostly just bickered. I hoped that we would be able to work together just as well. For now, though, I was just glad she was safe and that the Barrack was dead.

After confirming the beast had been slaid, the young stranger looked up at the goat lady and said with praise, "Nice move, Roxxer. You seem to be getting better at your powers."
She shrugged, "What can I say, I'm on fire!"
"Really, do you always have to use a flame pun?"
"Like youre one to talk, you are the one that changed your name to 'Blazer.' What was it your mom called you, 'Gordith?'"
the man hid a small blush, "Shut it..." he muttered.
Meanwhile, just behind Danilia, a familiar hand gently clasped her shoulder. It was her farther, bruised and scratched, but otheer wise alright. He seemed more shocked then in agony as he looked at his daughter holding a magical sword in her hands. It was clear in his eyes that he had witnessed most of the fight.

I looked up at him, hoping he wasn't disappointed. Or worse, afraid. "I..I'm sorry..." I said quietly, not knowing what else to say. "I'm glad you're okay... Where's Mother?"

Not too far away was the farmer's wife, looking just as shocked. The farmer said nothing to his daughter as the initial shock melted to greif. He glanced over to his wife, their expression shareing the same mutual look. But when the Farmer turned to his daughter, he only said, "Danilia...there is something we need to talk about..."
Though they had to wait for that as of for the moment, they had to all pitch in to help put out the fires and salvage what was left of their village. Naturally the stranger and the Creature accompanying him offered their help. Though many of the villagers were anxious around Roxxer whenever they found themselves near her.
By the time everything was finished, it was morning already. The fires were put out, but many of the cottages and other structures were badly burned and hardly considered shelter. The few people that were killed in the monster's rampage were mourned, one of the casulties was one of Danilia's close friends. But, by this time, the village had decided to pay their graditude to the strangers that slew the Barrack and had its corpse be the feast of the celebration. ofcourse, none of the credit went to Danilia or Slidera, most of the villagers were too busy admiring the Stranger's sword and the Creature named Roxxer to care.
However, while the feast went on, Danilia's father took her aside and the family sat down for a serious private talk.

I certainly didn't mind that I didn't get any credit. I would much rather not have so much attention on me. But, I was very nervous when I went to talk with my parents. "I'm sorry..." I said once we were alone. I stared down at the floor. "I know, I.. I went into the forest again when I wasn't supposed to... It's probably my fault that the town was attacked,and I couldn't even handle it... I'm sorry... But, please don't ask me to give up Fla'uru and Slidera." I looked up at them. "Slidera is my friend. And, I.. I think I was chosen, somehow... Like I'm supposed to have found her."
