Atani had lived in Athalran when there were troubles in the forest. The behavior of the spirits residing within there was always a good indication for the nature of the trouble, but the behavior of the ones she saw in Baska's deciduous regions... it was hard to determine the precise case for them.

Atani did not know if the plains Baska was situated upon were entirely natural or not. The town had been established long before she and most of her elders were born. Though she supposed it could have just simply always existed in the state it was, she feared that some of the forest had been cleared to make room for Baska itself.

But she digressed. The point was, she was out of that town for now and was now in the place she called home. It was certainly no Athalran-- no other place in Fiore could compare-- but it was where her guild was. It was home to Lee, Zimra, and Throndil. It had a maritime ecosystem brimming with life.

Astera, Atani found, had not yet quite adapted to this way of living. To the elf's knowledge, neither a light, nor dark, nor neutral guild had not occupied that location for quite some time. If it did, it was before her time in mainland Fiore.

The creature had been dubbed 'Barrang.' She had heard brief mentions of this name from time to time in passing, but the way most spoke of it, she had assumed that this Barrang was nothing more than a myth; however, there were those who disagreed.

Atani knew she was on the right track when she started seeing warning signs posted. It warned inexperienced travelers to turn back. Hopefully, it was enough of a deterrent so that Atani would be able to encounter this creature on her own. The last thing she needed was for some novice mage or hunter to get in her way... because as good as her healing magic was, there were still moments where it could inflict pain instead.

Atani heard the tales of how Barrang hunted his victims. Before it had the chance to burst out of the ground and eat her like the others, she dove out of the way. And not a moment too soon, for the giant serpent burst its head out the ground. Its jaws snapped shut, enclosing not the flesh it wanted to gorge, but a pathetic mix of dirt and air. It thrashed its head to the side and glared at the elf. She could feel its scarlet eyes piercing right into her soul. Barrang wasn't going to let its prey get away that easily.
Just before the serpent lunged, Atani waved her hand and dashed away.

They initially didn't seem to phase the monster much. It pressed through the swarm, making a beeline straight for Atani. She lunged away as best she could, but the sheer size and speed of the monster in comparison to her small figure made avoiding the attack unscathed all but impossible without the use of defensive magic-- something Atani notably did not have.
One of the serpent's fangs grazed her arm. It cut like glass; the elf didn't even know she'd been hit until the wound began to burn. She spared a glance for only a moment.

Unknown venom was dangerous. There was no telling how it could impact her, but there was little she could do about it now. All she could do was hope that her healing magic would be enough to purge its effects.
To give herself time to cast the appropriate spells, Atani summoned her bow contained within the pocket dimension of her ring and fired an arrow at Barrang.

It reeled back in pain. The arrow in its entirety disappeared due to its magical composition, leaving a small hole in the snake's skin through which blood slowly trickled out. The snake began to look as if it was recovered and ready to strike again, but suddenly the tides changed. Atani smirked as she saw Barrang freeze in place. Her moonflower attack was not just a one and done. There was always at least one floral butterfly that managed to remain on its target, continuously sapping the life force from it like a leech.
This was precisely what happened to Barrang. In its frenzy, it didn't realize it was reaching its limit. The light in its eyes dimmed and the massive serpent collapsed to the ground. The battle was done.

She didn't have the strength to take Barrang's head, as was the classic trophy for these sorts of hunts. However, she could retrieve one of its fangs and instruct Gallard to the body if he wanted to collect more. Careful not to prick herself and introduce even more venom to her system, she extracted the largest of the monster's fangs from its tough gums and set it aside. She took another one of the fangs for herself and stowed it away for research purposes.
She returned to Gallard with his trophy and told him where to find the body in its entirety. She received her reward and left to treat the rest of her wound.
