Nic walked along the edge of the water looking down into it everyonce in a while. But he also scanned the ground around him. He was now in charge of his father's tamer business. But he hadn't wanted to, so he had released all of the creatures that his father had, had. Now he was out looking for his own so he could continue the business. He shouldered his bag, and held his staff up, sighing. "Maybe I should have kept at least one." He said thinking of the day he had released all of the creatures. But it didn't matter now, they were gone, and probably not coming back. Making sure he didn't see anything he checked his bag to make sure he had all he needed. His father had taught him how to caught creatures but this would be his first time actually catching one.

Nic noticed the grass and at first didn't move. He was trying to recall all of his knowing of creatures, but couldn't think of anything. Eventually he decided to go toward and investigate. He took slowly steady steps forward. He held his staff in a relaxed, attack mode. "What is this?" He questioned to no one in particular as he stopped a few feet from the plant. He looked around to see if anyone was controlling the plant. When he didn't see anything he held his staff out toward the plant, to see it's reaction.

The plant, it seemed, wasn't exactly upset or in any way cared about the staff its vines were moveing steadily towards the boy, passiing his boots and moveing onward but suddenyly any movement of the plants massive vines ceased, as one tender shoot came into contact with the boy's shoe. The leaves near the center of the mass of vines rustled and a faint high pitched gurgleing could be heard for a moment.

Nic was suprised by the reaction of the plant as he looked at him. All of his training told him to step back and out of reach of the plant. But something kept him in the spot he was in. He jumped as he heard the gurgling noise, had he hurt the plant? Slowly he stepped forward, avoiding the vines, to see the center of the plant, and hopefully it's source. "Hello?" He called staring toward the center. "Is there someone, or something here?" He asked then realized how stupid he must sound.

The plant, was not intelligent enough to recognise human speech or understand it. It waas intelligent enough to recognise this was something it could choke..something it could kill. With speed unknown to any real plant. For this was an animal in disguise, most speculation toward the 'Creeping Ivey' was that the vines were like hair...but extremely mobile. The bigger the plant, the more trouble your in and this particular female was massive. What the rest of thier bodies looks like no one knew, they never left the dark dirt. mosst Creeping Ivey's were placed in a pot when young, after being dug up. The vines around the boy sprang upward every single one of them makeing to wrap around some part of his body. Several went for his neck.

Nic gave a shout as he brought his staff down on a few of the vines. 'Creeping Ivey' He thought finally recalling what kind of creature he was dealing with. Now all he had to do was remember it's weaknesses. Surely it was weak against fire, but he didnt' have any around at the moment. 'That won't work,' He thought. 'Got to think of something else.' His mind was working quickly knowing if he didn't he would soon be dead.

the ivey was doing its best to strangle him in record time, thicker vines pinning his arms tight to his sides, and his legs together. The smaller vines, though they were still a centimetere in diameter at the least were all wrapping themselves tighter and tighter about his neck.
(( sorrry if im powerplaying a little. ^^ ))

In the struggle Nic had dropped his staff, and was not trying to grab the vines. Which wasn't working so well with his hands pinned to his side. 'Great I haven't even caught my first creature and I'm already going to die. Thank goodness my father isn't here.' He thought, giving up but still holding on to some hope that he might survive.

The vines continued to tighten, seemingly more excited than ever as they felt him giveing up the struggle...and weakening.

Nic realized he hadn't done something he might have thought about doing before. "Help!" he yelled using most of his energy he had left to call out. He narrowed his eyes as he thought he saw something, but guessed he was just probably going crazy from being so close to death.

the plant suddenly let uot a gurgleing squeal, like something was hurting it. It hastned to try and kill the boy pulling its vines even tighter..wanting to cruch...crush and kill. Though it still emitted pained gurgleings and appeared to be slowing down as far as movements went, freezing up. Though its vines continued to tighten, however slowly. That was the pain with not-so-intellignet-creatures, they just didn't give up even if they would probably die. [.i]

Nic realized that the plant seemed to be in pain, and weakening. This seemed to give him a small burst as he struggled getting free by one arm and reaching for his fallen staff. Using that hand he started to beat at the plant with his free arm. "I don't know who or what is happening, but thanks and please keep it up." He said with gratitude in his voice.

The plant refused to budge, it pulled its small vines even tighter around the boys neck and froze in the exact position it had been in, still atempting to crush him, but no longer drawing tighter. the leaves didn't so much as rustle and all that could be heard was a faint snuffleing under the ground.

Nic was confused but realized this was his chance to get away, and decided to figure it out later. Slowly and carefull he started getting the smaller vines off, then worked on the bigger vines. He kept a look out for what ever was doing this. It wasb't clear if it was attacking the plant or if it wanted to get at them both.

The earth just behind Nic began to bulge upwards into a mound, the grass ripping and opening up to reveal a large amount of dark soil and an even darker tunnel.. a massive tunnel with something in it.

Nic was so stunned he started to fall forward. But he tried to pull himself back and stand up straight. Unfortunatly he pulled backwards to much and ended up falling backwards into the tunnel. 'Great if I'm not killed by one thing I'm killed by another.' He thought sourly

There was a suprised shifting in the darkness and a bronze, hard, shell like hid glimmerd in the faint light as the creature moved fowards, its face was still hidden but the massive claws on each front foot were plenty enough to look at.

Nic landed on the shell and looked at the massive claws. "Wow, what are you?" He whispered, not knowing if the creature could talk, or not. He had no choice but to stay on the creature for fear of falling deeper into the tunnel with no chance of getting out. Sighing he just waited for any kind of answer from the creature.

The creature seemed to be shakeing with silent laughter for a minute before riseing up, makeing a bit of a slide out of its smooth armored back that led to a long, equally smooth and armord tail, which led to the end of the inclined tunnel, it turned sharply here and dropped downward quickly.
