As Riku passes By the creatures, he slashes at them with his claws, making them follow him out of the palace. Sprinting as fast as he could, he dodged the creatures that attacked him. After running for a while, he spotted his sword, stopping next to it, he realised he was surrounded by the beasts. Transforming back to Anthro, he pulled his sword from the ground and swung it into the body of an attacking beast, severing it's spinal cord. Looking up, he decapitated two more with a horizontal slash.
Jumping up, he ran up into a tree and jumped from branch to branch, reaching civilisation, he ran through the streets, trying to reach the palace. looking behind himself, he noticed the beasts hadn't followed him. Breathing a sigh of relief, he walked back through the gates, bloodied sword slung across his shoulder and his fur stained a dark red.
