Eon looked back at Caedwyn, noticing that he seemed just as captivated by the place as he was during his first visit. Although he was eager to find the creature again, Eon struggled not to become entranced by the caves once more. The glow from their lights reflected off the water pools, and Eon couldn’t help but watch it dance with every droplet that hit the surface. He would have loved to observe it, but an eerie feeling crept over him as he recalled the large colony of bats that had caught him completely off guard last time. What he hadn’t expected was to hear the centipede right away. The sounds of its movements across the stone walls sent shivers down his spine, and he froze. “Look out! There’s something up ahead.” The monarch's voice redirected his focus. The light from his fire flickered off the creature’s body. “Quick, we can surprise it before it gets away!”
Eon nodded, immediately summoning his wisps to his side. He intended to have them orbit in a circular motion to distract the arthropod while he listened to the monarch’s plan. “I’ll try to distract it so you can get an opening!” Eon winced. Not that plan!
He was used to being the one to create distractions—not that he’d ever admit it, especially not while they were actively engaged in battle. Caedwyn’s barks echoed through the caves. If Eon hadn’t been nervous before, he was now. What if the noise attracted more creatures? What if something more terrifying than the centipede lurked deeper in the cave? He didn’t have time to ponder the "what ifs," did he? His best option now was to throw the heated lights towards the creature.
Thankfully, it seemed Caedwyn’s plan had worked. The centipede was distracted, allowing Eon to aim for the beast's weak point. Although he didn’t know much about centipedes, he knew that every creature with eyes had a vulnerability. Eon hurled a ball of burning light towards the front of the beast, hoping to temporarily blind it before diving in to bite it.
