A Noodle and the Moon (closed:Rex)

[RexDraco]

 The spirit would manage to detach himself from the low laying shrubbery and would find that she was well. His ears wiggled before his lion's paw gave a snap and the nest would vanish, reappearing in the branches above. The spirit floated off the ground, his tail swaying behind him before the amalgamation of parts landed on the ground. On all fours and settled from their fall the spirit sat his rump on the overground grasses below and look around. Holding out a claw he pulled from his feathery coat a hard cap and would place them on the princesses' and his own head before he turned his gaze up into the trees at the curious simian who had found game with his dice.

 

"This is unexpected. And here I thought the Zebra made jest that the boardgame was cursed." Excuse you noodle? Ugh, of course he had such a thing. "I suppose it was quite a steal trading it for a pawful of string and some pocket lint." He perhaps should have further questioned the artifact were that the case. 

 

Pushing up he would vanish and appear behind the monkey with a net. Swinging down to catch the critter it would screech out and drop the dice onto the board. With a click and clatter the pair of ivory cubes rolled to a halt upon the numbers three and four. He and the monkey blinked as the chaos god's piece began to move and landed on a space. It seems to have counted for his move as he had forced the dice from the monkey. Looking onto the center a new rhyme would appear. 

 

"If you are to survive, evade the hunter's arrows until you reach the camp?" Within a moment of reciting the revealed prophecy an arrow whizzed over Discord's head, causing him to plummet down to the ground, the game landing in his lap.

 

From the foliage emerged a massive Minotaur who looked quite akin to Tirek of not for his hunter's coat and sturdy hunter's bow. A mirage of a past trial come to face the pair in a most terrifying manner. He smirked and stomped his front hooves as he held the weapon in his hands, aiming another shot at the pair. Discord snap closed the board and held it up, the arrow slamming into the wooden casing, getting embedded. That was a bit too close of a call. The hunter pulled a horn to his mouth and blew! Upon the sounding of its call from the jungle jumped too Timberwolves, the beasts snarling and glowing a magical green. A camp? What camp?! The spirit looked around and spotted, atop from where they fell: the castle, or at least where it was. Now covered in vines and other fauna and flora it was a paradise for the multicolored birds that now encircled its perches.

 

"We should perhaps -- run!" The spirit dashed to the side as the Timberwolf pounced him, another heading for the princess. 

 

It seemed the pair had to find a way back up from their fall into the castle and find home base before the awfully Tirek looking hunter had his way and mounted Discord on his wall. Normally the goal of a game was to win, but with the board's added objectives it made getting to the end of the paths on set a touch more difficult. Oh goodness he hadn't meant for the game to be so -- fun! he chuckled as he toted the board on his head, floating low to the ground. Even in such he was limited with his powers. What fun would it be if he too was not bound by the game's rules? 

 

"Come now Lulu! You should make your roll, it is a long walk back!" He lowered his head, the dice awaiting the princess' actions!
