Alas, the forest held too many temptations for them to be safe and that they had not encountered danger so far was merely the fortune of luck, for the true darkness of the forest had been lurking, all the while, closer than they'd realised.
Sandor blinked blearily, stretching out his arms over his head within the confines of the tent, leaving Alyssa where she was as he pushed open the flap, allowing a bright stream of sunshine into the abode.
"Yah!"
He yelped, something lashing around his waist, yanking him outside so swiftly that he caught his head on the tent pole, lips twisting into a snarl a moment too late to warn Alyssa. Something thick wrapped around his waist and legs, curling tightly -- a vine of some kind? A tentacle? But the sunshine was brief, something looming, a foe so great that they had waited for exactly the opportune moment to strike, all when their prey was unaware.
He puffed and huffed as the tentacle around him, green and slightly slimy, faintly so, squeezed more tightly, cutting off air from his lungs, his eyes straining, watering, jaws opening and closing for breath that could not come. What had happened? Was it a foe? Was it the forest? He couldn't see, only a mass of twisting, writhing tentacles filling his vision as his heart plummeted. Why hadn't his magic perceived such a foe -- particularly when it was of the natural kind?
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
He growled, eyes narrowing, ignoring the lack of air, though he didn't have his staff either, what he used to channel his magic and, of course, partially store mana. He pulled on his natural ability, but the pressure of the tentacle crushing him was too great, holding him right on the cusp of being able to draw a little air into his lungs but no more than that.
He wheezed, his senses dulled, yet the tent flap fluttered again, the doe-taur appearing, rubbing sleep from her eyes.
"Sandor... What's going on?"
But it was too late for her as another tentacle whipped out from the mass and curled around her, dragging her squealing from the ground, although more than one vine-like appendage was needed to tie up her legs to her body and her arms to her torso, rendering her incapacitated.
"No!"
Sandor's eyes watered, fighting, snarling, heaving, but he had to retain all the energy his could, even though every fibre of his being screamed at him to go to her, to help her, to save her. that was why he had worked so hard at magic, was it not? He wanted to be strong, to be powerful, all to protect, all to save -- and now what had he done? Both squirmed and fought, but it was no use, not against a foe that neither of them could ever have been prepared for.
It seems that I have caught my prey...
Sandor blinked. Had he really heard that? Was it a voice? But he couldn't linger on that, not as the ground below them rumbled, a tree emerging as if it was growing in rapid speed, branches unfurling, a huge, deciduous tree with branches thick with leaves and fat, red fruit that he did not recognise. Yet the leaves were not green but dark and twisted, the trunk gnarled, yet that was only a demonstration of its power, how it was corrupted, a creature of evil that was neither true flora nor fauna, but something that was an amalgamation of both.
From the branches sprouted the mass of tentacles, pressure closing in on the pair from all sides, even if they had not honestly felt claustrophobic prior. The withered, aged tree radiated power and yet there was something that it needed too, the trunk quivering with something akin to a groan, yet not a sound that could ever have come from either the mouth of an anthro or a human.
