Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You may know of it?" Toroto said in a question, yet he doesn't know where this is going. *Toroto looks around at everyone as he leans against a tree with "Wolf" drawn in his right hand, touching against the bark with it's sharp blade*. Toroto also thought about what Clive said about being a Earth elemential which gave him little anger, but not enough to show on his scarred face. *He then looks down to his blade for a moment with cold tired eyes, remembering a promise he has gave a friend in the past* The words of a little boy rang through his head, those words... made him remember his propose in life. He could still see those blue eyes of the boy, the ones that had faith in him to protect those in need from harm. Yet, he has failed to protect the boy, but he will not allow it to happen again. "...Artin" The lone wolf said in a silent sigh as he stares at his blade, then he snap out of it to notice Ying does a little gasp at something which made him slightly alert. Now aware, he sees marks on the ground being form by Clive, showing Corsica the evidence they found and began to hear Corsica say something.

Upon hearing Corsica talking about the creature, he heard her say Razorclaw.
Toroto starts thinking of what kind of challenge it will be when it shows up, Toroto has taken on at least 8 bandits one time, but some of them were not good at fighting. Yet, more memories come back from Toroto's past, the bandits who killed Artin were far-stronger than average bandits. Even if this creature proves to be as hard as those bandits, then Toroto will give it all he got. "This creature sounds interesting, I think we could possibly handle it" *Toroto turns his head to Corsica as he talks, some of his long hair covers his right eye* "Even though, I don't truly know how strong it is".

As Toroto stares at the marks, he heard something in his head. Some sort of grim voice speaks to him (Voice inside Toroto's head: You think... justice is everything... Toroto, do you think... you will survive this time?). As Toroto heard this voice, it made him feel like he is surrounded by darkness. The voice continues (You couldn't even... protect Artin, What makes you think... you could win.) and the voice stayed silent after that. Toroto has heard it before, but can't remember from where. He then stares at the marks once more, still determining if he could win with the help of Clive and maybe these girls.

"I'm Ready as ever, I would like to face this beast, once and for all " *After speaking (In a serious tone), Toroto stops leaning on the tree and walks towards everyone* Even if it have been a two hours or three, Still Toroto is hungry from his travel, but will hold on until the beast is slain. Toroto is very eager to fight the beast since he hasn't fought a bandit for over a week, but more importantly to save the people of Lupe from torment. *Toroto kept "Wolf" drawn in case the creature does plan on ambushing them, even though Clive could detect it before hand* If this beast is very strong, then Toroto may lose some blood today to it while fighting, but it's for the people.

Toroto doesn't know how many of them are going to survive, but all that matters is if they all have Honor. One thing, Toroto plans on not doing is retreat from this beast, he rather fight to the end with such a enemy. * While Standing, Toroto makes sure that he has his dagger is fasten under his waist wrap on his right leg with a black leather belt wrapped around it* As Toroto stands in place, there he felt a wind blew past himself, making his scarf start flapping in the direction of the wind and falls back to his back. Now, Toroto waits for the rest to move on.

Upon hearing Corsica, Toroto didn't have a idea because he has never fought one before. "To be honest, I don't have a plan to take down this foul creature since i have never encounter one of it's kind before" *Toroto looks down the path which is suppose to lead to the monster's lair, His eyes showed anger* "Still I plan on putting this Razorclaw into submission, even if it does cost my life!" *looks back at everyone as he said his words with honor* Memories came back to him as he spoke, he pictured the little boy's face staring at him. The boy's eyes were as blue as Toroto's scarf and his hair was a bright blonde which was also tied into a ponytail, this boy stares at him with a smile. This was Artin, appearing in Toroto's thoughts, the boy who always kept trying to be positive even if in danger. As Artin stares at Toroto, words came from his mouth "Come on Toro, let's go and look..."

As Toroto snaps out of his memories after he finished talking (After he said "even if it does cost my life" line), a slight tear came from Toroto's right eye as he finished but Toroto didn't seem as if he is sad. "Are you guys sure about going in and fighting this beast, I could go in it alone you know..." continues talking "I just think that, once we all go in, some of us may not get out alive ". *Stares at Ying and Corsica as he spoke*. Toroto does believes in honor, but cares for people's lives too. "So are you guys, ready to charge or run?".

After Corsica told to not act foolish, he thought to himself for the moment to not let Artin flooding his mind. Yet, there Toroto began to act like his normal self, the one who is serious and stealthy. His eyes looked as if he has seen many battles, which he did with bandits. As he looks for around for cover for the ambush, he thought maybe he could climb one of these trees since they look durable. As he approach the tree, there some anger he had from that girl's shout and made him feel that dark aura from earlier, when his conscience talked to him. He began to climb the tree by grabbing the bark with his nails, as he climbs up, he heard a voice echo through his head (You can't kill... this creature, it will... kill everyone, ahahaha...). This voice was irritating Toroto as he climbs to the first branch, yet the voice continue (They will die... like Artin... and you will... be to blame... Again.) "No, you are wrong, we can win if we stand and fight. It continued (Wrong? Why do you say that... , I told you that... little boy... was... a waste of... your time... like the rest... of these... people) "Shut up!".

Once Toroto got to the second branch, he could see the area below him. He saw the other two look for cover, He had both of his feet were balanced on the branch. He is going to try doing an ambush from above (He is going to draw both of his blades and will jump down to slash the creature if possible) , which has done to bandits in the past. There he waits for the beast to appear, even though slightly worried for the other. Was his conscience telling the truth?

Toroto sees that the trick the two girls told him about worked, as he watches from above in the branches. He moves to the thinner part of the branch, prepared to jump from it to strike the creature. *he began to draw "Fox from it's sheath with his left hand, holding both swords in each hand with ease* This would be the perfect moment to make his slash. As he readies himself for the jump, he goes into a stance where he holds both swords, backhanded. There at that moment, he vision went to blur in a second, where he only saw darkness. In this darkness, two red eyes appear before him, those of his conscience. They stared directly at him with a sinister look, then he heard it again, (You can't... win Toroto, everywhere... you go... will always be... a Disaster, ahahahaha!) after hearing that Toroto shouted out with a burst of rage "SHUT UP!!, you will never control me, Otorot!! ".

He regained his vision, staring at the Razorclaw with silent anger, he must try to destroy this thing, to prove his conscience wrong. There he made an quick dash off the branch, falling legs first toward the creature, holding both of his blades back for the strike. As he falls towards the creature, he heard the voice of Artin speak through his head from a distant memory, "Don't give up, Toro, I Believe in you!" Toroto's anger somewhat lifted after hearing the encouragement of his decreased young friend, leaving warmth in his heart. Then he became focused and started to aim for one of the creature's pincers in a mid-second, as he is a few seconds from the creature, but will he hit it or miss?

After slashing through the Razorclaw's pincer, he lands on the ground with "Wolf" stabbed into the ground. He heard the others charge toward the creature as he was sitting there, then the creature started moving about in a overwhelm state. Unsure of what to do, he unleashes his sword "Wolf" from the ground, then made an attempt to evade it's movement. But the lone Bounty hunter received a blow to his right side before he was out of it's range, causing him to fly to his left in a short distance (like 4 feet or 5 feet away). The force may have caused some stinging pain to his side, but he seems alright, despite the pain.

As he gets up from his left side, he appears to have dirt and a slight cut (which is below his left eye scar) over his face as he got up, but that's not only thing about him. His face had an angered expression, like a dog that has kick in the side, his teeth began to grit against each other like fangs. Also he went and picked up one of his swords from the ground with his left hand, the sword "Fox" had an orange cloth attached to it's hilt, then picked up the other sword "Wolf" with blue cloth around it's hilt. Upon getting up, Toroto noticed an cut on his upper-left arm under his slightly tattered purple leather shoulder pad which was bleeding red from the impact of his landing, yet he didn't care for it.

He stands up to see the creature still flailing, also as he stands there he saw to his right, Clive has landed in the bushes while he saw that the girls dodged that thrust which hit him. Still as stood, he began to turn his head to the monster who was thrusting about, overwhelm with the pain of it's missing pincer. There he began to give it a stare that burned with anger as his teeth gritted with the rage. The one thing he doesn't want is someone to die, which he will not allow to happen again. As he stares at the Insect monster, he goes into a offensive stance, holding "Fox" backhanded behind him while "Wolf" is being held in front of him , ready to make an charge at it. Will he be able to hit it in it's current state? Will the others be alright?

As Toroto was about to make a charge at his foe, it all of sudden stopped and turn toward him. Toroto also noticed it was about to charge at him, even though he was going to do the same it. He still felt his rage flowing through himself, like dark energy from a familiar force . The Insect monster began it's charge at him in a instant, also with blinding rage. But Toroto is not going to be caught off guard this time, he began to look at the Razorclaw's movement to see if he can evade it with a quick dash or dodgeroll.

When it approaches quickly towards him, he decided to give it the taste of his speed. Instead of taking it head on, he will try to dash around it and attack it using Four-hit slash from behind. The monster was near him now, but Toroto was ready to dash as he crouch down with his right leg in front. Toroto was sure this time it was not going to hit him even while dashing (But he not sure about that). Now the monster was in front of him, prepared to take it's bite.

Then a breeze rose about Toroto as he began in a sprint to the monster's right side to evade it's attack, but his vision to his left and right turn to a blur as he ran. His blue scarf waved as he ran to it's backside in hope to attack it, he appears as a blue streak as he does his dash, also appear to faster then the beast. As he was running to it's backside, he couldn't see it clearly because how fast he ran, but was preparing to attack it even though his energy was being drained by the dash as well. Even his left arm hurt from the impact, which may prove to be an disadvantage when he uses "Fox" to strike at it.

He was ready to strike at it's back legs with his four-hit slash, but will he hit it or miss this time? (With his unclear vision because of his speed and his injured left arm, also the consumption of his energy, he has an disadvantage and will have a possibility of missing)
