Before the Beasts out-stretched clawed hand could reach, the man whirled the gun to face the oncoming monstrosity. Through the man had spent all his bullets fruitlessly on the beast days before, he still had some powder left. Firing the pistol into the Beast's face, the powder's flame blasted the Beasts eye's.

Harsh screams echoed through the forest. The beast flailed on the forest for, it's eye's burned. After several minutes, the beast staggered to it's feet, flailing around with it's arm in a vain attempt to find the man responsible for the pain.

"Very clever, little man! This is why I like you!" The beast howled, letting his arms fall to his side.

A faint red glow enveloped the beast. The burned skin on his face healed in seconds, and the beast's scabbed eye's returned to their normal yellow glow.

Sniffing the ground intently, the beast crawled around on the forest floor. With a contented grunt, the beast lifted it's head, gazing west. In a single bound, the beast leaped into the trees. Bounding from branch to branch, the Beast hastened to follow it's prey.
