>You move to stab it, but as you draw the blade back, the behemoth's snout slams into your side and knocks you off balance and away from it; renewed pain bursts through your side.

> Toward the behemoth.

>You circle around the behemoth as it turns to face you, snaking its body around as it turns. You fire some shots, and it dips underneath them.
>In this time of relative calm, you notice several things. The purple glow from the wounds are definitely filled with darker splotches than before, and it seems like the wounds are more ragged and wider. You're also certain there is someone else flying around a little ways away, you only get a glimpse of the motion out of the corner of your eye, so you are unable to tell who it is, but it doesn't seem to be approaching. You aren't sure which way they are going.
