[PQ] [HUNT] willow weep for me

Melita and Ronin moved like liquid fire through the night, their torches blazing and leaving streams and sparks of gold in their wake. That in itself was enough to dazzle the banshee, and as the honeybee girl poked at the creature with flame and ember, Ronin ensured he held his torch high and aloft, circling around to give his companions better illumination to work by. The light danced off the blades of axe and sword, both of them hacking into the creature in hideous synchronisation. The axe bit into the banshee's skull and Krosis sliced it clean at the neck, leaving Emmett holding the creature's severed head, still screaming - only for a shower of dirt to silence it forever. Ronin could only hear the sound of his own blood in his ears at that point, the guildmaster panting and wary that the banshee might yet still (somehow) live. Its body twitched, but headless, it was of little bother to them. "Well," he said softly, straightening up and lowering his torch. "I would say that is definitely more of a success than my last banshee. Teamwork, eh? Thank you. All of you. I'm sure the Woodlands and those who hunt here will be glad to know that they can walk at night a little safer." Thus concludes the PQ! Thank you everyone who participated! <3 Please feel free to leave a reactionary post - Ronin will be taking the banshee's head and claws back with him to the guildhall. And if any of your characters would like to join the Monster Hunter's Guild on the back of this, hit me up! RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you.
