Spinning, one hand still on Ash, the other summoning Silt, he ended his momentum by releasing the prior, dual wielding the latter, and planting the head of the axe underneath more scales. Sliding at an angle as would a person making a fillet, Valashu flipped up at the last minute, knocking severely of the plates loose. By now the brutish beast began to fear, and so attacked back, slashing at Valashu with its powerful appendages.
Struck against the shoulder, Val dropped to a knee, drawing back on the axe in his hands, to slam in forward once again - this time though at a section free of the scaled protection. The Force empowered head went in, deep, until it breached bone. Instantly the beasts back was severed, and it fell forward with a pained whine.
Just as Valashu was about to release his hold on the Force, revealing himself once more, he sensed an approaching entity. Encompassing the felled beast into his sphere of invisibility, Val turned silently to watch as a keen soldier slunk through the brush nearby. Were it not for Val's own skills as a hunter, he likely would not have seen the man. But as it was, he did, and knew that the man was looking for the brutish animal.
