THUD. THUD. THUD. THWACK!
Leaves released their grip on the twisted tree they were clinging to's branches, and fluttered to the ground in defeat. Haruzon leaped backwards to stare in satisfaction at the dents she had made in the tree bark with her powerful claws and tail. With a smirk she dove for the tree again, raking her somewhat-dull claws down the tough, old bark. Chips flew off here and there, one hitting her squarely above the eye. She growled.
"Is that all you've got?!" she shouted at the tree, slamming shoulder-first into it. The tree groaned in protest, then shifted a bit as it's roots loosened beneath the ground. Electricity sparked between her horns as she strained her muscles against the tree's defense. Just a little more, just a little more...! She whipped her head around and pressed her forehead against the tree, charring it with her electric sparks. CCCCRACK! The tree finally gave up; it's roots were flung high into the air as it flopped to the ground. Haruzon snorted and raised her head high, sizing up the tree like it was a fallen opponent.
She'd won. Again.
Haruzon sat down on her haunches and swung her head around to view the scenery. Fallen trees lay scattered around, at least a dozen of them. Haruzon was getting bored of this. Trees didn't really put up much of a fight. She needed something that fought back, something that actually could dodge her attacks. Not just sit there like a... well, like a bump on a log. Tree. Whatever. She liked being alone, though. Maybe if she'd gone somewhere that had a gym she could at least punch a sandbag or something... but Craiss Caverns was just so... mysterious. It had an edgy air to it, and that made her senses stronger. Her ears still weren't the best, but she just felt more aware than usual. She sighed. For once, she actually hoped someone would come along and bother her.
