"Hehehe..."
Soul Reaver's head jerks upwards at the sound of familiar laughter. He whirls around, already knowing what to expect...
Behind him, in the distance, stands a black-cowled figure, its hunched form balancing on a twisted branch. It is visible only as a silhouette amongst the shifting green gases of the swamp, with two crimson pin-points of light that gaze malevolently at the companions.
"I knew you would be here..."
Soul Reaver shouts loudly to his companions, pointing towards the figure as he slips, slides and runs down the mud bank towards it.
"It is Khora! Seize him!"
The Khora's glowing 'eyes' narrow as Soul Reaver heads towards him.
"Unfortunately I do not have time for you... I must retreive the staff. But now that we know you are truly here, my Master will deal with you appropriately..."
With a grating chuckle, Khora leaps unnaturally high into the air. He plummets back towards the swamp... and with a whooshing sound, is swallowed up by a twisted, shimmering black Warp Gate. It seals itself almost immediately.
Soul Reaver stops running, having reached only the edge of the water.
Standing still, Soul Reaver realises there is an uncomfortable tension in the air. The gentle sound of the lapping water is all that can be heard. The croaking and screeching of the myriad inhabitants of the swamp has stopped. Even the mosquitoes seem to be dispersing.
Soul Reaver almost sets his teeth on edge by the grating metallic noise made by Blooddrinker as he draws it from its scabbard.
Still nothing. A drop of cold water runs down the side of his face, eventually falling from his chin and into the swamp with an audible plop. Soul Reaver's eyes narrow, and a small flash of crimson skitters over his iris.
Suddenly, there is a deafening whoosh that almost throws Soul Reaver into the mud. Four shimmering black Warp Gates rip open in the swirling green air of the swamp, each radiating a feeling of immense evil power. A soul-shredding voice echoes over the swamp, forcing Soul Reaver to cover his ears.
"Interlopers! You will die here amongst these wretched mud-crawlers! This swamp will be your grave!"
Stavarus' eyes open wide with anger at the sound of this voice. However, his foe does not reveal himself.
Instead, a dark burst of power blasts vertically downwards from each of the four Warp Gates, distorting the air around them as they fall. They hit the swamp-waters with ground-shaking force around the small island the companions are on, each hit causing huge splashes that fire scummy water many metres into the air.
The Warp Gates shut, while Soul Reaver frantically tries to face all directions at once. The blasts were obviously not intended to hit the companions. They did something else...
The water near the impact points begins to boil and ripple, a dark, sinewy shape just barely visible beneath the surface. The water bulging around it, the first shape moves towards the small island with terrifying speed.
Soul Reaver backs away from the water, but he gets only two or three steps before the swamp before him explodes into a writhing mass of glitening black tentacles. The Shadow Behemoth whips its tentacles through the air, each one long enough to cover the lenght of the island with ease.
Three tentacles wrap around Soul Reaver, one around his waist, another around his neck, and one around his right wrist. Choking, he is lifted into the air as if he weighed nothing, and pulled into the water.
The other tentacles whip at the companions. One shatters the tree Asaki is on, throwing her into the swamp, while another sweeps most of the companions off their feet, causing them to slide into the swamp. Three more black shapes converge on the companions...
Stavarus skillfully leaps over the sweeping tentacles, but is forced to jump from the island into the shallow water to its right to avoid further attack. He snarls and is about to draw his daggers...
Without warning, a tentacle wraps around Stavarus' ankle and hurls him into the air. In shock, his loses his grip on the lens... it flies from his hands, turning over and over like a red coin.
It falls into the swamp just as the three other Shadow Behemoths explode from the mud to shred the companions apart.
