Who: Chris
Where: jungle somewhere outside the Staff
When: Day 26, Evening/Night
Invited: River (or anybody else who can justify being in the jungle outside the Staff)
Status: Incomplete

Chris had wanted an excuse to get outside, and River's request had given him that excuse. He had Orbed her out to the jungle, away from other people, where she could get some peace and he could get some quiet.

He was glad that he hadn't gone on the rescue trip; he needed the break from being the camp's 'teleporter'. He had confidence that everything was going to be all right, and if not, maybe River would warn him.

River herself was waiflike, staring at the stars through the canopy, as if she wanted to go there. Maybe she could. He knew his abilities were not unique here, why shouldn't she have extraordinary abilities too?

The light did indeed strengthen itself, but it didn't do anything to get rid of the acrid smoke inside. Rive and Chris both started coughing as the smoke gathered inside the dome. River bent down, "Better do something soon. Smoke's not good for the air. Makes it smell." and spoke to the mound of dirt and she pinched her nose.

Just as she did that, the earth exploded into the air, throwing River back into Chris' arms. The creatures screamed in unison as Tara appeared from the hole in the earth. Or at least, what appeared to be Tara. Her torso and face were the same. Her eyes were a deep green and her hair was a mass of dead oak leaves. Her arms faded into gnarled branches. Her legs faded into the earth where they turned into gnarled roots that supported her in the air. She hovered and wavered for a moment, taking in her surroundings. Then, she waved her hands in the air and the smoke disappeared, then the dome disappeared.

The creatures immediately took the opportunity to attack the group, but Tara didn't give them much opportunity. Every branch or thorn they projected was deflected easily by the Tara-thing. When they changed tactics and started attcking Chris and River, she somehow summoned a wall of swirling leaves around the two and protected them. She had gotten rid of Chris' protective dome for some reason that they didn't understand until she did her final thing. She thrust large oaken looking roots from the ground into the wall of creatures, ripping the wall apart from it's inside. Ichor flew everywhere and the smell and screames filled the air.

"Wow" Chris said, "Tara?"

Tara looked at him and smiled. It was Tara's smile, but at the same time something else. She didn't say anything, though, just turned back around and continued to finish off the creatures. "Missed one!," River pointed in the woods with a smile at Tara. Tara nodded slowly and then threw her own branches out into the depths of the forests. More screaming could be heard in the jungle.

When her arms came back, they weren't empty. On each branch was an impaled dead creature. She brought them to Chris and dropped them in front of him. then she proceeded to gather all the dead creature parts and made a stinking pile of corpse wood. River helped. When she was done, she turned to Chris and looked at him and nodded slowly.

"I *think* she wants you to burn." River said and Tara simply smiled.
