windbourne and crimsoncookie for the betas.
Shoes thudded softly against the spring turf, breaking the shadow of the sundial, punctuated by the cries of writing desks startled from their perches.
Go this way across the wabe, then when you get to the tulgey wood, turn that way instead.
Never trust a cat to give straight advice, especially in emergencies. The more urgent the situation, the more gibberish will slip from those crescent moon smiles.
The path winding through the trees went off to the right. Bright eyes glanced to the giant tangle of flowered vines and thorns blocking the way to the left. A swish and swash and the vines buckled under the vorpal key, fell apart, leaving that way open.
There were sounds, faint, further through the pathless tangle of trunks, sounds of gnashing teeth and cries of alarm. The shoes stumbled between the trees, jumping over roots to make up for lost time. Startled mushrooms shrank into crannies to avoid the hurtling body. A covey of bicycle horns broke apart to avoid being landed on, their honking underscoring the rapid patter-pit against the wood floor. Through the wood, into the glering (not quite a glade, but more than a clearing, certainly) in which stood the tree under which stood the beast, teeth snatching at the leaves as it tried to retrieve its prey.
“Sora!”
“Kairi!”
The flame eyes turned, claws making one last catch at the bark. Jaws mawed open, spewing forth fetid breath.
“You leave him alone!” Hands clutched the vorpal key firmly, features set in a stuterminish look as the princess prepared to rescue her hero.
