[A centipede that can't be squished?! Well, Kor's mind is running wild, imagining the sandworm they faced in the desert, but as a centipede. Ugh, truly horrifying. If all bugs were like that, he wouldn't blame Chalcedony for having a bug phobia.]
[Kor's eyes dart wildly around the room, trying to find the offending insect. Surely a super centipede would stick out like a sore thumb, crawling across the wall sporting the width of a horse.
[Part of Kor was expecting to find a much smaller centipede, one blown out of proportion. That sounds like something that would happen with the Chalcedony Kor knows.
But instead, what he finds is truly the stuff of nightmares, an incredibly large centipede snaking its way through the window, having previously hidden itself on the outside of the house.]
I don't tell lies. That being must be fueled by energies of this world.
[ They don't see things like that too often in Organica. Sure they'd get Xerom attacks but Chalcedony could handle those with his blade just fine. This is on a whole different level. ]
[The centipede has its sights locked on Chalcedony. For whatever reason it really seems to want him right now. Does it think he's a moth and thus its prey? As he flies through the air and away from the house, the centipede is chasing after him. But right behind it is Kor, in hot pursuit.]
I think there's a clearing up ahead! Let's get it out in the open and take it out!
[Chalcedony seems eager to get this over with. Really , can you blame him? It's his worst fear that's been amplified through dream energies of this world. Chalcedony draws out his Soma and screams. He's talking a lot but he isn't really fighting back just doing a lot of running and yelling.]
Kor, look out!
[ The Giant centipede is coming for both of them. This is true Fear. ]
[The centipede lunges for Kor, but he dodges out of the way to safety!
...Or not, as the direction he moves causes him to catch his foot on and trip over a large rock jutting out of the ground, landing him on the ground facefirst. He recovers, but he has to take the time to get his bearings and push himself back to his feet.
Please help, Chalcedony, or your friend might be centipede food.]
[ Chalcedony promised himself that he would never hesitate to fight for his friends. Right now he's overcome with fear but he doesn't want to keep running away. In an instant he summons Wahrheit and tries to blast away the centipede with a strike of holy lightning. ]
I cannot shame Paraiba with a display of cowardice.
Phew... [Kor breathes a sigh of relief as the centipede is distracted long enough for Kor to get back on his feet.]
You really saved my bacon there, Chal!
[Back on his feet now, he stares down the centipede. It's momentarily stunned, trying to shake off the effects of Chalcedony's attack. Now is their time to strike.]
[The centipede lets out a horrifying screech and attempts to make a lunge at the airborne Chalcedony, which prompts Kor to make a split decision.]
Chal!
[Kor leaps into the air, and gathered dreamotion energy into his hand, forming a lightning javelin, which he immediately throws at the centipede. The weapon pieces the centipede's tail, pinning it to the ground and stopping the insect's ascent from reaching Chalcedony. Its range of movement has now become a lot more limited.]

Are we dealing with a super centipede here?!
no subject
Especially in this accursed realm where nightmares can become more than just things of myth and fiction.....it's unlike one I've ever seen before.
[It's still just a normal bug. Sorry, Kor. ]
no subject
[Chalcedony why...]
no subject
[ Surely Kor is capable of doing that much. ]
I don't know how much longer my defenses will hold.
[ He's screaming. ]
no subject
[He's even using dreamotion to enhance his speed, so he quickly arrives at Chalcedony's location!]
Chal! [He's practically busting the door down.] Where's the super centipede?!
no subject
No, stay back!! I'm warning you.
[ That voice...did Kor actually come? Chalcedony comes out of the closet and he looks terrified. ]
It's somewhere in this room.
no subject
But he sees no horse-bug.]
Umm... Where?
no subject
Over there!!
no subject
But instead, what he finds is truly the stuff of nightmares, an incredibly large centipede snaking its way through the window, having previously hidden itself on the outside of the house.]
Bwah?! That really is a super centipede!
no subject
[ They don't see things like that too often in Organica. Sure they'd get Xerom attacks but Chalcedony could handle those with his blade just fine. This is on a whole different level. ]
I can't bring myself to look at it directly.
no subject
We need to lure it away from here so it doesn't damage the house! You need to lure it away!
[You can fly, after all.]
no subject
And you! You need to defend yourself.
[ Chal's already zooming off with his wings. He's in a frantic hurry to get out of here. Hopefully the bug just chases him. ]

You ready, Chal? Let's finish it off!
no subject
[ It looked like it hit pretty close to Kor. Concerning. ]
... We should go.
no subject
[Look, Kor knows Chalcedony has a bug phobia, but they still need to finish the job here.]
But what if it comes back for you?
no subject
[Can he use Kor as a shield? That's allowed isn't it?]
Put sufficient distance between you and the enemy, Kor Meteor.
no subject
But wait, what about you? You're the one it wants!
no subject
I don't want to believe you even if you may be right. It has followed me all the way here.
[ Kor Meteor might be Right. ]
no subject
[Come on, Chalcedony. It's just common sense, really...]
no subject
May thunder come to smite my enemies and rend them asunder!
[He's shooting more artes at those bugs. Chalcedony REALLY doesn't like bugs. ]
no subject
Chal!
[Kor leaps into the air, and gathered dreamotion energy into his hand, forming a lightning javelin, which he immediately throws at the centipede.
