The first creature’s paws hit her, shoved her backward, and knocked her staff out of her hand. Suddenly the stalker was on her chest, digging in its claws and crushing the air from her lungs. She gasped and tried to roll out from under it, but the creature was four times her weight and bore down on her, opening its wide mouth to her face. She heard a high whine and felt the creature shudder, and something heavy cracked out of the stalker’s chest. She could feel the heat from the object on her right cheek as the creature’s legs buckled, and it fell with an audible thump on the ground next to her head. Nissa twisted as it started to fall, but the creature’s head fell on her back, slamming her into the leaf mold.
