Snippet #1465703

Ezreal slowed down slightly as Elise darted towards him, bracing himself before she threw her arms around him, he paused for a second looking down at her for but a second before a faint grin showed up on his face, his right arm coming around her back and returning the hug. A grin made its way to his face as she stopped and moved her camera, a faint laugh following that as she hugged him again. "Like wise." He said with a smile on his face, letting go of her as she took a step or two backwards. Ezreal nodded to her as she spoke again, his mouth opening just barely as he was about to say something as well, though something made its way into his mind before he could even start. His teeth gritted together as a loud noise equivalent to a bird entered his ears, making his body lock for a split second. "What the hell...?" He let out through closed teeth, his head turning on a swivel to see what was going on. The sound of shattering glass came from the side of the building, Ezreal's head turning rather quickly to where he imagined it came from, his eyes coming back around as Elise grabbed his hand, pulling him into the mansion. Ezreal kept pace with her, his mind taking a jolt as his body seemed to recover from its former state of soreness, if not just having the mental capacity to ignore it.

Ezreal nodded to Elise as she led him to the grand staircase, both working their ways through the crowd as they ascended the steps. Ezreal could hear people behind them speaking to each other, though he didn't take the time to turn around and see just who had followed behind. Ezreal could hear the door to a room being ripped from the frame, slamming against the ground as who he figured were the servants entered the room, not aware it was in fact the twins. Ezreal found himself now pulling on Elise's hand, moving past people on the stairs as a crowd seemed to start forming around the door a little down the hall, "You might want to wait here..." He said to Elise, feeling the muscle in his chest give a deep thud as he began pushing his way through the crowd up to the room. After what had happened he doubted seriously that Elise would stay back, his hand still holding onto hers, hopefully signaling that idea. A burst of light shot through the room and about as quickly a loud scream or yell erupted, making him cringe slightly. A man he knew as one of the lucky chosen, likely from the first group which had entered before they had. His eyes darted back from the man to the room, barreling his way through the entrance and into the room. What he saw should have been mind blowing, but after all that had happened today... This wasn't too different. Ezreal set eyes on two different canines, one looking quite more domestic than the other, though the flames which seemed tot be emanating from its body set that idea aside rather quickly.

Ezreal turned his head to the door, noting the blood on the ground as well as the glass which had shattered to the inside of the room, signalling a entry. Ezreal let go of Elise's hand as he heard a commotion outside, his feet moving to the balcony as he looked out to see the twins, the man from before, and something which took him off guard. Ezreal hadn't noticed the changes beginning, though they had. Joints in his body began to pop rather sporadically, growing slowly but surely. His adrenaline had been spiked yet again, though this time, this could wreck his body for sure. His hands were wrapped around the railing of the balcony, shaking slightly as their grip tightened on the metallic surface. A rumble slowly made its way out of the pits of his chest from behind his teeth, his body tensing for a moment before his heart let out another deep thud, the switch in his brain clicking finally. Ezreal's massive hands twitched and the welded joints in the railing snapped, Ezreal's arms acting on their own and ripping it from the mansion, a trickle of blood slowly showing up around his fingers where the metal had cut his skin. His hand loosened on the railing and dropped it to the ground directly below him, a thud sounding from below as it slammed against earth. Heaving breathing was signaled by the movement of his body, moving up and then back down as he exhaled, a rough almost calloused sound to it. His hands grabbed one of the few bars which still sat in the frame of the balcony, his hand tightened as he reared back, ripping the rod upwards. To his perception, everything was moving in something similar to slow motion, though that was not how it really was. Ezreal's feet carried him off the balcony, his body weightless as it dropped to the ground bellow him. A deep thud came from outside as his entire being slammed against the ground, slowly standing up and walking towards the animal, his left shoulder rolling around, letting loose a sickening number of pops, the rod still held tightly in his left hand. The light outside was quite dim aside from what the light from Rae's room and the rest of the mansion assisted with, though it was as light as day outside to Ezreal.

His feet started at a walk, though quickly turned into an all out sprint of Olympic caliber, closing on on the creature and the others already outside. Ezreal broke his run and turned it into a crow hop, arcing the rod around like a golf club as he directed a devastating blow to the creatures mid section, though his approach would have given it ample warning to dodge if it could.
