A large shadow leapt from out of the fog at Alex, and he rolled to the left to avoid it, landing on his feet and doing a quick turn and back step. Before him, a Werewolf stood on two feet, towering over the male as it growled, revealing rows of sharp, blood soaked teeth. With a howl, it lunged at Alex again, and he sidestepped instantly, swinging his sword and burying the sharp blade into the beast's right ankle, causing it to stumble forward and land on all fours. Quickly, Alex reached for the Bastard Sword on his back, drawing the sharp, silver blade and gripping it tightly with two hands as the creature turned to face him, bearing its teeth at him yet again.

"Well hello, ugly." He muttered before lunging at the beast, burying the large blade into the Lycan's shoulder, causing it to crash into the thick grass chest first. With a loud whine and some harsh tugging and struggling, the Werewolf wiggled free and quickly turned, bounding away into the thick fog as fast as it could with its rather severe injuries. It was rushing back to its lair. Luckily, it was leading him there to with the trails of blood it leaving behind it, giving Alex an easy way to track the large beast.

Bastard Sword at his side, Alex made after the creature at a rapid pace, his sprint coming to a halt when he saw his sword on the ground. Unfortunately, his longswords were made of Iron, not Silver, so the wound in the creature's ankle had most likely healed now, meaning it could run again. With a curse under his breath, Alex picked up his sword with his free hand, slipping it into its sheath on his hip before running again to track down the creature. On the bright side, the wounds inflicted by silver definitely wouldn't heal as fast. Silver reacts to Lycan skin like a blade to a normal human, so a wound that severe wouldn't be healing up any time soon. This was good. The Werewolf was hurt, giving Alex an advantage against the beast; as well as a way to track it back to its lair.
