The grand finale of the season offered by the new Isochronal Spirit turned out to be nothing less than a swarm of enormous, vicious bats circling over Whistler Crest. Sawyer was not exactly sure how those monsters setting everything they see ablaze could be qualified as ‘fun’, but the truth was certain Spirits had their own understanding of the concept of entertainment, and mortals were essentially helpless.
In the end there was nothing to be one but try to stop those beasts before they cause more damage or injure someone, as apart from destroying the buildings, those feral creatures were not shying away from trying to snatch a child.
A small glimpse of fortune in this whole chaos was that Sawyer actually was an experienced Crafter and has been working with the Town Guard for a while. Fighting hellish bats may not have been specifically mentioned in the job description, but it technically fell under ‘protecting the town’ aspect the job required. With a whole arsenal of spells, he could attempt to subdue one of the bats. The Containment spell he had used to help contain the Luros did prove quite useful a few days ago. The bet may be a bit more tricky to pacify, but if push came to shove – offensive spells were not beyond his reach. Fight fire with fire, as one may say.
