Nico was beginning to have a difficult time as well, until Morgan began helping him along by using his leaping commands. They finally came quite in handy, since using Morgan's body, Nico was able to jump and maneuver much more dexterously than before. Finally, they came into a tiny clearing, and had a moment to calm. The soft grass was still dark; and the area was covered in pale white mushroom caps leaking what appeared to be blood. Morgan knew that this wasn't blood; these were so called 'bleeding tooth' fungi. Morgan wanted to collect a few for potion studies, but wound up hearing a loud creaking. Both Morgan and Nico froze for a second, looking to see if they could see the nyssa; but they couldn't detect it. A moment passes, until Morgan realizes that there was a soft snow falling... It wasn't snow, it was Ash. Looking up suddenly; the pair could see a giant pair of black eye holes glaring down at them from directly above.

While Nico immediately sprung into a run at Morgan's bequest, Morgan instead leaned up, putting their hands up carefully and trying to feel for the electricity that ran the nyssa undoubtedly, like it did nearly every living multi-cellular organism with a backbone. Perhaps Morgan didn't know for sure whether or not the creature had a spine or anything of that nature, and nothing returned back to Morgan. The human saw a giant branch begin to fall toward them, and they rolled out of the way, dropping and moving. They noted where the body seemed to be, from which way the head had been pointing, and then regrouped with Nico. "Lets go, boyo! We've got to get closer to the body. I think the damn thing ate it!" Nico may not have understood why they were here all that much, but he did understand the gist that came through the RoT.

It must have been a fire crystal; Morgan thought. Or maybe the creature was somebody's crazy giant-growthed custom. The nyssa was absolutely gigantic, and Morgan had no idea what to do about it; or how to get what could have possibly been an eaten or otherwise devoured crystal out of it without possibly having to kill it. The idea was abhorrent to Morgan, but the creature was gigantic and dangerous. What to do, what to do? Morgan finally growled, and then turned towards where the body was once they got decently into the forest to obscure theirselves. "Alright Nico, lets go!" Morgan said, and Nico was right there, running abreast of them. The houluh was unafraid as he went over and under the twisting roots, and Morgan dexterously leapt between them as well. Eventually, they could see a thick nyssa foot; on fire, not too far away either. This was their chance!

There are only so many things that one could do in this situation, even if they weren't exactly like Morgan and the little houluh pup. However, in this situation, with only the highly erratic chaos magic and of course the meager battle training that Nico had been performing recently, there was even less that could be done. Still, the pair were much more confident than anyone else could imagine. Morgan raised a palm and tried to focus, finally squeezing the hand tightly and enacting a sort of pressure around the body of the nyssa. The giant creature seemed hardly perturbed; which made sense. Nyssa had a thick skin, and though it had undoubtedly hurt, Morgan doubted that the Nyssa was even remotely noticing it. As they neared, Morgan leapt up onto the foot of the giant creature, and the houluh ran up Morgan's body to get higher, scrambling onto the immobile knee of the creature.

Time was growing shorter, but the speedy and dexterous pair used the nyssa's general lack of dexterity to their benefit. Together with his scrabbling claws, Nico was able to manage by biting onto a nearby twig and holding on the best that he could, digging in with his claws. Morgan put their palms to the body of the creature, and tried to focus on doing some kind of damage; any kind, to it possible. Finally, they seemed to pester the nyssa; more like fleas than combatants. Ash fell down from the top of the burning nyssa's branches, but thankfully no embers fell down upon the two. Morgan managed to receive a scratch from one of the thorns, but also did enough damage to sever a branch from one of the legs. That did it; the nyssa jerked, slowly. However, Morgan and Nico were still tossed. Luckily, Morgan was able to teleport to the houluh, grabbing him and holding on for impact to the ground.

Morgan hit the ground and managed to roll; it hurt, but thankfully it wasn't as bad as they were expecting. The pair had fell in a fairly agile manner, with Nico protected the entire time. Morgan hit the ground running after the roll; twisting around to look up at the huge nyssa. Finally; Morgan saw it; a giant crystalline heart in the chest of the creature. The human swallowed; knowing that there had to be some kind of way to be able to do this; some way to be able to get it. Morgan gently put the houluh on the ground, where he stood wagging his tail. That gave Morgan some hope, indeed. They turned, squinting, and finally decided what they were going to do. They told Nico to stay there, and wait for them to come back, and Nico smacked his tail gently on the ground in waiting. Morgan enacted their plan, walking forward confidently...
