Reaching out as the massive reptile soars overhead, you snatch Louise around the waist and sprint for a hole in the nearby tree. Ears ringing, you barely hear the girl say something to her minion.
With another terrible roar, the hydra crashes back into the depths. The ashen ground slides beneath your feet as waves wash against the beach, undoing much of your progress. The girl screams and swings her sword over your shoulder and you hear an explosion seconds before two heads slam down in your path, more impacts to each side. As the creature rears back, you thrust your staff toward your destination, hastening your escape now that you are sure you won't be flying directly into an attack.
Mist sprays over the two of you as you land inside the rock-like roots of the humongous tree. Peeking back outside, between blasts of water you see that one of the heads is now sporting a blackened hole where an eye should be. The zombie pulls itself from the ash, broken legs creaking as they snap back into place to heal, only to be slammed into the dirt once more by one of the serpent's heads. The corpse latches onto the creature's scales with two of it's arms, using two swords in it's other set to carve away at the face.
Whistling in appreciation, you set your apprentice down. "Good aim." You say, patting her head. "Come along, let's not wait around to see how many hits this plant can take."
The girl doesn't respond, simply following with her head down as you head deeper into the tree. Up the root and sprinting past a gap in cover, spotting a coiled sword in a pile of ash on the other side of your Oblivion gate. Walking through the hole in the trunk, you find that the entire tree is hollow, though not empty.
Gnarled roots and vines wind around each-other as they rise into the dim light above. Giant mushrooms sprout from the walls, reminding you of Morrowind due to how they seem to have grown to form platforms for the denizens to walk on. Dark-skinned reptilian limbs can be seen through the tangled mass of flora overhead. Of more immediate concern however, is what appears to be a family of
