Scion: Seeds of Glory IC

[JillyS]

Everyone outside
The drunk kid looks blearily up at Nerina, his eyes traveling over her face before he sighs. "I know what every else knowsh. It's shome kind of monster, most people shay it's a giant . . . a giant . . . pig! That'sh it." He looks down at the ground, one foot scuffing at the stone in front of him. "It shows up, and shometimes it takes someone - usually a girl - and carries them off into the woodsh."

He looks up at the others as well, aware of the males and Hikaru, even though he knows they're trying to stay distant. "It sometimesh takes men too . . . do you think," he laugh-hiccups, "do you think it'sh gay?" Shaking his head, the kid takes another drink from his bottle. "And other times, it showsh up just to wreck up the place." He gestures to the beaten up trash cans. "I guessh this time, it wanted to break shtuff."

He stands, far more steady on his feet than someone who's that far into a bottle should be able to, and brushes the dust from the back of his jeans. "Look, I don't know a whole lot about this - I've never sheen it personally - but if you want to talk . . . I could maybe find you shomeone who hash." He holds out one hand to Nerina, eyes drifting over the rest of the group. "I'm Torc Olaffson."

Nerina smiled. And shook his hand with ease of one who has shaken a lot of hands. "Please to meet you Torc. I am Nerina Moana. Most call me Nerina though. If you could find us someone with more information, I would be most grateful."

Nerina wondered if the boys or Hikaru were going to say anything or was this all on her.

Crystal

IC: We had seven dwarfs to handle, Nina was handling two and I was handling one while kissing another. I broke off the kiss and took a deep breath. I had wanted to start with a blow job to begin with. I bent lower and lower until my lips could reach his tip. Then stuck out my tongue and circled around the head, I then moved to lick the shaft before putting it in my mouth. At that point I began to bob my head up and down.

To be honest, I wasn't that good. I had little experience and wasn't eager enough to make up for that fact. Then there was the taste to consider the dwarf had an unwashed sort of dusty flavor, it was as if he had rolled around in a very fine dust after his last bath. But it was just a flavor.

Competent or not did not matter to the dwarf behind me. The gentle lover had sped up greatly watching me do my work. He had begun to be forceful, but he had built up speed slowly enough that I was used to his force now and found myself swaying my hips back to meet his thrusts, I didn't sway much only just enough.

Mean while the dwarf in front of me was unsatisfied with my performance. He placed his hands on my head and held tightly while thrusting into my mouth. I wanted to get him off, so I relaxed my jaw and placed my tongue under his shaft. Every couple of thrusts he would go deeper into my mouth, before I knew it I found his member sliding down the back of my throat. This realization came with my gag reflex and a cough. Silvia swelled up into my mouth and in a cough I forced some of it and some of him out of my mouth. Undeterred he slid right back in just as deep, maybe even deeper. I was surprised to find I wasn't gagging for air. A moment latter I realized why, I could hold my breath much longer then a normal mortal so air was less of an issue. Apparently I had a natural edge for deep throat.

The dwarf behind me was moving faster and faster, harder and harder. His breathing grew heavy and I knew he would not take much longer. I on the other hand would. He began to grunt his thrusts began to shorten and he penetrated me as deeply as he could. He leaned into me, pressing me deeper onto the cock in front of me. His hands went from hugging my hips tugging me further onto his member. Then I felt the change.

He shoved his cock into me one last time deeper then any of the others. It pushed slowly inward my flesh yielding to his. The veins were swollen but felt smooth as if they had been carved out of marble. He bottomed out in me, his torso meeting mine with thump that could be heard. I felt his heart beat and pulse threw his veins. Then a slight swell began at the base of his cock, it moved forward deeper into me. I could feel his cock narrow ever so slightly after it but that pulse was fallowed by another. The pulses moved up his shaft deeper into me. Further and further then went until they vanished into the crown of his penis. I felt the lips of the mushroom head part wide and then with a thundering return came the pulse. It shot out with noticeable force immediately striking my cervix, turning into a liquid heat spreading around it. I had no time to react to that first splash as the second pulse joined it and another came after that. I could feel the liquid deep inside me burning my most delicate places.

Evan and Hikaru

Evan walked up as the drunkard introduced himself to Nerina. The guy had a lot of news, that was for sure. A giant pig that just appeared to smash things up or steal people away? And what did it do to them?

His mind supplied a possibility and he shivered. That...should not be hot. Not one bit.

"Torc, I'm Evan. We'd really like to talk to someone who knows more. You might say we came here to deal with this, ah, wild animal problem."

He also glanced at Nerina. This thing tended to take women from what Torc had said. "Nerina, I know you can take care of yourself but...let's stay close until we've wrapped this up, just in case, huh?"

~~~~~~~~~​

Hikaru was still in hiding; having cunningly moved closer to the conversation as carefully as possible. The young man's words troubled her. This boar was taking women? And she was hidden away from the others...alone...

She looked around suddenly, as if afraid the beast might appear at any moment. She looked down at the spectral cat, "Stay close, Suji," she whispered.

She gestured to her sprites and the little spirits took to the air to keep a lookout.

Nina Taylor

As it became apparent that, even though this was relatively new to her, Crystal was handling her two dwarves well enough, Nina turned her attention back to the two that were working at her. She leaned up and took that huge veiny cock above into her mouth; the taste was not completely unpleasant—it was a bit like having several dusty rocks in her mouth—and she began to suck and gulp at him even as she felt another dwarf pushing up between her legs. She gasped against her mouthful as the dwarf entered her, and as her hand shot out it encountered yet another dwarf. She slid her hand down, took hold of his cock, and began pumping him, doing her best to aim his member at her tits. As the three dwarves began picking up the tempo, she heard Crystal squirm and squeal beside her. She slid a hand up her thigh and across, finding her sex plugged with a dwarven dick. She slid up a bit until she found the other woman's clitoris, then slowly and gently began to stroke it...

Everyone Outside

Torc takes a final swig from his bottle and tosses the empty container into a nearby trash can that hadn't been overturned. "All right," he says with a sigh. "Come with me - there'sh a bar near here where the brother of one of girlsh tends to hang out."

He leads the you all to a small, hole-in-the-wall place that is almost teeming with college students. The interior is actually more well-lit than a lot of American bars, but it's still pretty dim. There are a few people playing billiards in a corner, a few more dancing in what little space is open in the middle of the floor, but by and large, it's kids getting smashed, while sitting and talking with other kids who are getting smashed, and the whole lot smells like clove cigarettes.

Several people seem to recognize Torc, waving a little, and at least one person does a double-take at Evan. The rest seem to be watching Nerina, the men lustily and the women a little jealously, and Kenta, mostly nervously, with a few women eying him boldly.

Torc leads everyone to a table where tall, slender young man is sitting, one hand wrapped around a beer and the other resting on his forehead. He looks up as Torc stops at the table, his face dark and his eyes almost emotionless. "What do you want?"

Shrugging, Torc gestures to you. "These people want to ask about what happened to Gillie." He looks back at everyone. "This is Kaldur Stromsson. His shister Gillie vanished about three weeksh ago."

 

[Tymeless]

Hikaru continued to stay hidden and listening in as she heard Torc offering to lead her companions towards someone that had seen the creature before. Hikaru shivered slightly but made no noise as she thought of the description of it. She didn't want to be anywhere near that thing and realized staying away from the group was making her an easier target, but she wasn't afraid enough of the situation to reveal herself openly.

Hikaru decided to try to be even more careful as she moved about and investigated the situation. Hopefully people other than her new companions wouldn't notice the radiant Japanese beauty as she snuck around the streets and followed them. After she watched them go into the small dive she decided to stay outside for a few minutes and observe the surroundings before trying to go in and reveal herself to the others.

 

[Bluemage]

Kenta had remained mostly silent as he wandered into the bar. His eyes looked over the scene for a few long moments, taking notice of the girls as they took notice of him and everything else. This wasn't so bad after all. He smiled softly and then closed his eyes as they all moved towards the one table. He chuckled softly as the chatter moved from what people had thought they had seen to who had actually seen it. This was one of those completely crazy situations. A giant pig monster that took young women to do unspeakable things to them, and it sometimes took men too? It sounded like it was some sort of dragon from myth or something, and that was just silly. Even if he accepted what he was and what everyone else said they were as truth, he was some sort of demigod and so was the rest of their group, the idea of dragons or random monsters just seemed like bullshit.

He slowly opened his eyes again, smiling as he looked over the group again. This was almost funny. He looked up and nodded a little bit as he looked at them, "I hear it's a crazy giant pig monster or something. Sounds like something you could benefit from not having around." Who would believe a scary pig monster...and really, how would the dwarves have not mentioned this?

 

[JillyS]

Shrugging, Torc gestures to you. "These people want to ask about what happened to Gillie." He looks back at everyone. "This is Kaldur Stromsson. His shister Gillie vanished about three weeksh ago."

NEW:

Ignoring Kenta Nerina sat down with a faint sympathetic smile. "I do apologize for my friend." She said, "I understand that your sister was taken by the beast. Could you give us some information on it? So we may investigate and maybe give you some peace of mind?" She didn't want to give the man false hope.

Crystal

IC: The dwarf behind me took a moment to catch his breath. Nina seized that same moment to catch my clit, and I only had one complaint but it was quickly fixed as the dwarf pulled out of me to be replaced by a new one.

I found myself with the most stimulation I had ever had back there. I had the inner warmth of semen, some one teasing my clit in the expert fashion only a woman could provide, and a stone hard dick gliding in and out of me. In short I was in a pleasurable heaven I never wanted to leave, that is until two new sensations pulled me back to reality.

Despite that the dwarf in front of me was fucking my face with a great deal of zeal, I was distracted. I didn't even recall him until he took my head and forced himself as far into my mouth as possible there he held me and I felt a few pulses of semen moving in his penis to be deposited deep into my throat. When they exploded into me they did so, so far back in my throat that I could scarcely taste it.

Joining that was a curious and inquisitive finger poking my anus. It was gentle enough but completely unexpected. I even swallowed out of surprise, not that the dwarf in front of me minded.

 

[Armphid]

Evan was feeling more nervous with this crowd. Judging by some of the reactions, a few of the people here had recognized him. They may not have known his name but he was sure they'd seen him before and they knew it too.

Then Kenta spoke to the grieving Icelander and Evan winced. Not very subtle or smooth. They just had to hope that talking about it like that didn't piss the guy off.

Nerina was already on damage control, so no harm done there.

Evan put on his best serious yet concerned face, hoping it would help that he did sincerely want to find this thing and save the man's sister if it was possible. "There's no guarantees but we do want to help. Please, anything you can think of about what happened, even the smallest detail, could lead us in the right direction."

 

[Pywakit]

Nina Taylor

Nina heard the dwarves with Crystal cry out in delight as they came, and as if orgasms were contagious, she suddenly felt the cock in her hand pulse and throb and send a thick spray of hot white seed over her tits. The sight of that must have been enough for the dwarves at either end, because a few moments later, she felt come squirting up into her pussy and down into her throat. She swallowed against one cock, squeezed and tugged at another, and clenched her cunt against the third, and in a few more moments, the satiated dwarves staggered away.

Nina opened her eyes and swallowed at a glob of tenacious come at the back of her throat. She continued stroking Crystal's sex as she glanced around—she'd lost track of how many dwarves had been taken care of in the sudden explosion of orgasmic energy all around her...

 

[HookerBoots]

Kaldur seems to study the group with an air of disinterest. Then he sighs heavily. "All right, everyone have a seat." He gestures to the bartender with his bottle, then in a circle around the table. "I don't," Kaldur says, looking into the neck of the mostly empty bottle a little sadly, "dare to hope that you would find her alive at this point."

He looks up, his eyes traveling around the table, looking red-rimmed - maybe the smoke's gotten to him, or maybe he's been crying. It's hard to say. "Our parents think Gillie just ran off, and that she'll be back soon. I was with her." He hiccups lightly as the bartender sets the beers on the table, and as the other man walks away, the hiccup almost turns into a sob. "I think they blame me - they think I was drunk, or high, and that's why I saw what I saw."

With a sigh, he takes one of the fresh beers. "But I wasn't drunk, and I haven't smoked anything for six months." His fingers work at the edges of the label on the bottle, and he sighs. "Gillie and I were walking back to the apartment we share . . . shared, I guess." Kaldur shrugs. "We'd been out, actually studying for once, not drinking at all. I had to stop and," he looks at Nerina, a light flush coming to his cheeks, "you know, take a piss, so I went into an alley. Gillie told me I should wait til we got back home, but I had to go, you know?"

He takes a drink of beer and runs a hand through his hair. "I heard a squeal, and then I heard her scream, and when I turned around . . . there was this giant boar, with Gillie," he gestures a little awkwardly, "draped over it's snout, like she was a doll, or something." Kaldur bites his lip. "I yelled, but it's hard to be intimidating with your cock hanging out, you know? Or maybe you don't." He shrugs a little again. "It turned to look, snorted at me, and then dashed off down the street, toward the woods." His fingers seem to tighten around the beer bottle. "I chased, but I couldn't catch it - the thing was too fast for me. And I could hear Gillie calling my name." His face seemed drowned in misery, and he rubs a hand over his eyes. "She'd just turned 18 last month, and she . . . she gets taken by this beast!"

Crystal

IC: The dwarf behind me stuck his finger deeper and deeper, surprisingly I did not mind it too much. To my side I could see Nina finish three dwarves at once, she clearly had more experience with gang bangs then I did. With one dwarf behind me, that meant only one more needed to be worked on.

Then came a rather odd surprise. 'Nina how would you like to eat that pussy instead of fingering it?' The dwarf behind me seem to ask as if he knew the response.

With that he pulled his dick from me, he reached around and grabbed one of my arms. I didn't mind actually I stood up from my crouched position and he stopped fingering my ass. Nina on the other hand continued to finger me, perhaps even more bold them before. 'Eating her would be quite the show for us.' He took his hand and guided his dick into my anus, some how I was still very relaxed and perhaps between my juices and the other dwarves juices the cock started to slide in with out much effort. He then took his other hand and grabbed my elbow holding me securely in place. Two dwarves to go, it would be silly to back out now.

 

[Pywakit]

Nina Taylor

"I wouldn't mind a little snack at all," Nina said, then flashed Crystal a quick and private smile to let her know that she should just relax... a smile meant to comfort and tease at the same time. She dropped down to her knees then and leaned in toward Crystal; her pussy was wet, both with her own nectar and with beads of dwarven come that had welled up between her lips. Nina slid her arms up along Crystal's sides, then as she felt the other woman take in a deep breath as the dwarf entered her from behind, she leaned in and began to clean Crystal's sex with her own lips and tongue. It wasn't long before she was pressing up and into the other woman, lapping at her folds, exploring the delicate and tender fissures with her tongue and tasting the strangely compelling mixture of her womanly fluids and the musky taint of dwarf. Now and then, Nina made sure to slide up to lick and tease Crystal's clitoris, but not for long before sliding back down to taste her deeper pleasures.

 

[cats]

Crystal

IC: Nina was surprisingly eager to enjoy the nectar of my loins. Her tongue penetrated deeply into, not as far as the last dwarf however the texture of her tongue on my most sensitive parts more then made up for it.

I had little control of my surroundings, I was simply taking the pleasure of the dwarf behind and the lovely lady in front. A very narrow wall separated the two and the dwarf behind made Nina's efforts all the stronger. As the last dwarf entered Nina she let out a low moan, almost more of a cat purr then a moan.

The dwarf set up a definite rhythm seeming only to speed up slightly every couple of thrusts. Meanwhile Nina seemed determined to make me orgasm before she did and she wouldn't need to wait long. I was quiet most of our love making, but now I was moaning in short squeaks, I had no idea my voice was so high but as my orgasm approached the pitch of my voice raised more and more. My moans became longer and longer even as my breathing became shallow. I lost myself unable to sense anything but pleasure.

I found myself screaming in pleasure, my hand racing to my clit. My fingers dancing around it freeing Nina to go deeper. The dwarf was ramming my ass hard and fast close to his orgasm. Then I felt myself exploding into screams that were likely heard outside. Waves of pleasure frolicked about me like children in a school yard. A dwarf was on Nina, and with a great deal of energy I collapsed onto him, forming a dwarf sandwich with Nina and I as the bread. It took a few more thrusts but the dwarf behind me finished and unloaded himself into my back side, as he pulled out I realized how far he had spread me. I didn't look forward to walking about.

Kaldur seems to study the group with an air of disinterest. Then he sighs heavily. "All right, everyone have a seat." He gestures to the bartender with his bottle, then in a circle around the table.

"She'd just turned 18 last month, and she . . . she gets taken by this beast!"

Nerina listened and took in each detail he said. The pain in his voice was true, as were his words, she could just tell. No one could tell such a tale with such pain and not be true. Slowly she reached out her hand and touched his. "I know it is hard." She said softly. "But can you show us where this was? I- We hope to be able to track it."

Nina Taylor

Nina took one last long lick of Crystal, then tenderly kissed her on the clit and slid out from the tangle of exhausted dwarves. She was weak in the knees and felt a bit wobbly, and could tell that Crystal was even more worn out by the orgy, but the dwarves themselves seemed all but unconscious.

"Whew..." Nina said as she reached out to help Crystal to her feet, leading her over to the chairs that had been pushed aside to make room for the orgy. As she did, Nina reached into herself, finding that bit of magical power she always knew she had, and with it, she sent a bust of revitalizing energy through both her own body and Crystal's restoring them and healing them of any damage the eager dwarves may have done in their frenzy. The bolt of energy made Nina tingle wonderfully as it always did.

"Hope that made you feel better," she said as she began sorting through the pile of clothes. "Because I suspect we should get dressed and rejoin the others as soon as we can... hope at least one of these dwarves wakes up to give us that reward they promised..."

 

[cats]

Crystal

IC: I felt a soft warm energy in me, something I can only describe as a second wind, but in a strange way reminded me of when I had first met my mother but only on a much smaller scale.

I cautiously pulled myself away from the dwarves, finding my backside far from tender, in fact it was as if the dwarf had never entered there at all, if I discounted the warm liquid.

'Hope that made you feel better,' Nina said sorting threw a pile of clothes. 'Because I suspect we should get dressed and rejoin the others as soon as we can... hope at least one of these dwarves wakes up to give us that reward they promised...'

"I believe your right, and honestly I don't think I want to discus this with the others about if I can avoid it." I quickly spotted my clothes and began to gather them one at a time. Slipping my panties on "I think we drove off our Asian friend who stayed behind for a while." I wiggled my tush a few times genuinely surprised anal sex didn't hurt as much as I feared, or more likely Nina had some gifts I wasn't aware of.

"The others left a few belongings behind. Believe it or not I should be able to track them by scent, with a little effort." I clipped on my bra backwards, flipped it around centered it on my bust and then pull up the straps. "Cities give me some trouble, I'm more of a country girl, but regardless I am an accomplished tracker."

 

[HookerBoots]

Kaldur nods, his eyes looking down at the table. "I can take you there, I think." He finishes the last of his beer, thumping the bottle down on the table loudly before standing, his movements slow, but not in the deliberate way of someone who's drunk. "There's nothing there, though. The cops, they searched it pretty good."

He glances at Torc. "You coming along, man? I know Gillie liked you - always said you were a good guy." Kaldur's face expresses doubt that his sister knew what she was talking about, but he sort of makes a little smile that looks terrible.

Torc, who had been looking at the ground, looks up, surprised. "She did? She was . . . she was a real sweet girl. Yeah, sure, I'll come with you guys. If that'sh all right with the rest of you."

~ ~ ~ ~​

The alley looks like any other, save for the police tape around it. The area is pretty clear of anything notable, save that there's a set of trashcans that has been knocked over and a large hoofprint that the police have marked as "1". Kaldur looks around and rubs his hand over his face. "So, this is where it happened." He points just barely inside the alley mouth. "I was there, and Gillie was . . . right about where you're standing." He points to Nerina.

Nerina merely nodded and knelt to look around the area. "Interesting." She said softly. Carefully she knelt and examined the hoof print. One hand clutched at her shell necklace which she wore under her shirt. It was not near so she could not connect with the beast... either that or it was beyond her mental abilities to connect with it.

[Armphid]

Evan was impressed with Kaldur. The kid had some real steel in his backbone, no doubt about it. Of course, his missing sister probably made him more motivated even if he was afraid but it was still impressive from a mortal man.

He was less pleased about Torc's inclusion. The guy was still stinking drunk. His desire to help was sincere, Evan was sure, but in the state he was in, he'd only get in the way if the beast showed up.

He watched as Nerina examined the print, one hand going to the necklace at her throat. "Anything?"

Evan grimaced. Well, there was one way he might be able to flush the boar out. He'd found he had a power now that made everyone, well, look at him. Even if they didn't want to or even if they hadn't known he was there. More than his just being supernaturally good looking, it was some kind of mental compulsion.

"I'm going to try and get its attention." He stepped away from the other men, not wanting either of them hurt if the beast charged in. "If it's around, it'll have to at least look."

He spent a moment concentrating and then felt that odd flow as he released some of his power. Suddenly he felt even more beautiful and magnetic, the center of attention for all who could see him. "Come on out, piggy," he murmured.

 

[Pywakit]

Nina Taylor

Nina smiled as she saw Crystal almost put her bra on backwards, then turned to the task of getting her own clothes back on. It didn't take long. Once she was ready, she glanced around the room again at the sated dwarves.

"Damn, Crystal," she said. "We really did a number on these little guys. Hope they appreciate what we did for them. Anyway... it's a good thing you're a good tracker, because the others have a pretty good head start on us." She crossed to the door leading out of the room and opened it for Crystal. "Anything I can do to help find them?"

 

[Tymeless]

Hikaru watched as the others left the inside of the bar just as she had found a seat close by. She knew she should hurry and catch up to them before they left her behind. She could make her presence known now but they were moving at a quicker pace than she thought they should be and she would have had to run to catch up. She decided to just follow them until they stopped somewhere and then she would join them.

She watched as they stopped and went down an Alley. She walked quickly up to the alley and was getting ready to go down that way when she was overwhelmed with Evan's attractiveness. She just stood there at the end of the alley resisting her own urge to gawk at him.

 

[cats]

Crystal

IC: 'Anything I can do to help find them?' I smiled.

"I am afraid you cant do much other be patient. Tracking isn't a fast process, well unless I have foot prints to fallow, but here on concrete and asphalt it is going to be slow." I was mostly dressed by now.

"Honestly though I am more worried what the locals are going to think, me fallowing my nose like a toucan to fruit loops and not speaking a word of Icelandic."

I placed the unstrung bow close to my back between the pack and me. I then placed several arrows into the pack like a quiver and zipped it to hide them, but allow easy enough access given a few seconds to prepare. Honestly stringing the bow would be the longest part but unstrung it looked less like a bow and more like a stick and in a city hopefully a bow would be far from a persons mind.

Mostly dressed I moved over to Hikaru's bed. She had left some luggage there and so I looked at one of her bags and hoped she would forgive me. I opened it pulled out a lovely blue blouse and held it to my nose taking several deep breaths. I then returned to getting dressed.

The last piece of clothing I put on where my thin dear hide gloves, a gift from my mother and my greatest protection against the natural and unnatural worlds. I looked at Nina and saw she was likewise prepared.

"Well lets go." We walked out into the night air. I turned my nose up and closed my eyes taking a few deep breaths. Hikaru was quite some distance away but with the soft winds of the city her scent lingered. I started down the trail which led to an alley way. There something broke my concentration, a giant foot print and a crushed can.

"Nina do you think the Minotaur exists?"

 

[HookerBoots]

The Beast Appears! *dun dun-dun!*

As Nerina bends down, Torc looks at her and flushes brightly before looking away quickly. He sighs, looking around the street, and his eyes brighten when he spots a liquor store a few buildings down. "I'll be back in a second," he mutters, and heads off down the street.

As Evan begins to exude some kind of force that seems to draw every available eye to him, the night around the little group grows quiet. Everyone, even passing people, have stopped walking and talking to stare at him. But from the street behind him comes an almost scream-like squeal, and the magic seems to break as the noise shatters the night.

There is a thunder of hooves, and every eye turns to see the giant boar that has been terrorizing the city rushing towards the group. The pig is six feet high at the shoulder, with tusks that long, sharply-pointed, and yellowed. His hide is a mottled black, with a tuft of grey bristles sprouting from the top of his head, and his eyes gleam green in the night. The people in the group of passers-by that had gotten caught in staring at Evan gaped - none of them had believed that the creature was real, or that they'd ever see it. The pig, however, seems unimpressed by both their presence and Evan's eye-catching ability.

He charges - straight for Nerina. In a flash, he's close enough to the group that Kaldur jumps in front of him. The boar, however, zigs past him, his head going down so that his snout is on the ground. He seems to hesitate for a mere second, then darts forward again, his nose and tusks pointed straight at Nerina. He flips her into the air, then catches her, draping her across his snout like a rag doll, and runs off, his hooves moving so fast they almost blur. As he turns a corner, he lets out a triumphant squeal.
