       (I suppose this is more modern era than anything? Just lemme
       know if I need to fix any details)
       'Impervious to fire...' Dracierous sighed softly.
       While he wasn't dressed in military garb, or perhaps what their
       mage's might wear, it was modern attire; everyday clothing
       consisting of a grey shirt under a black jacket; dark colored
       jeans with black-on-white Converse. He was around his
       mid-twenties, but any mage worth their salt was far older.
       Such as himself.
       In any case, the silver-haired man found himself along the
       outskirts of the city, the air around him lifting him higher as
       he drifted towards the behemoth; huge even at this distance.
       He'd meet it about half way, perhaps, judging the distance.
       The air all around him grew cold as the half-breed drew in his
       will, the magic cackling around his fingertips; his eyes, silver
       as his hair, glowed with an inner light. The power he gathered
       was an ancient one, being apart of him as it was; a sort of
       inner fire that propelled even his most basic spells into
       something grand and obnoxious.
       Three hours out... Give or take, it'd be at the spot in about...
       half an hour, an hour top.
       A heavy sigh escaped him once again; the being was powerful
       enough, that was sure, especially if it fed off of the lifeforce
       of its victims. How cruel...But there was something admirable
       about creating something such as that. Briefly, he wondered as
       well if he'd be the only to stand against it. Not that it was
       any different than standing against a hoard of dragons... But he
       knew how those creatures thought.
       If the behemoth did have artificial intelligence, of course it'd
       go to were it's food source was; any creature with primal
       instincts would do that, so perhaps it was less intelligent but
       more... basic in its needs. Even the dumbest monkey could figure
       out simple tasks if need be.
       Shaking his head, he stopped and started to chant as his body
       drifted back to the ground; half an hour away from the city, his
       words shaking the air. His body started to move as his feet
       touched; arcane energies flitting about him in powerful sparks
       as his chanting grew hoarse, deep; drawing from the well of
       power that was his birthright. He began to murmur, his words
       halting and guttural; harsh and edged with fire. Smoke billowed
       from his body as the energies erased his clothing, leaving him
       naked.
       While Dracierous was mostly silver in coloring -skin, eyes,
       hair- due to his curse, all of that began to deepen in color as
       more power was drawn; the slumbering beast within awakening
       slowly. Black streaks flowed through his long hair; blue tinged
       the silver hues; the skin becoming darker, as if the sun was
       kissing him, offering its blessing to his flesh. His feet moved
       in a steady circle, trampling the grass. Magic gathered within
       the circle, a circle seemingly close to bursting with its
       burden.
       His rite was a more basic one, drawing from his own power, but
       also asking for help from the earth; the spirits that resided
       within the trees, the rocks; the rivers and lakes; the sprites
       that cowered within the air, steathily hidden. They answered,
       lending their own strength to his already formidable power. The
       magic circle glowed with that power, rainbows of coalescing
       energies weaving in and out.
       His specialty was defensive magic, his wards perfect; his
       castings easily readied. He had about fifteen minutes.
       But there was no time to him, lost in his trance; the half-breed
       unaware, uncaring, of what transpired around him as he chanted
       endlessly.
       And so, he stopped soon after lest he drain himself of all
       power. Still he was panting, sweat beading along his naked body
       and running like small rivers.
       He waited.
       Waited.
       Then, with the behemoth a few dozen yards away, he released it,
       breaking the circle as he swiped his foot across the grass.
       Power enough to level the continent was unleashed with a furious
       howl; the magic erecting three sets of walls.
       The first wall was rather small, just up the behemoths 'thighs',
       and while the wall might not do anything; or rather, if the
       automaton felt it, that was as it should be. It would merely
       latch onto the behemoth, not offering any physical or magical
       resistance. The second wall was much the same, save it covered
       up to the stomach, just below the solar plexus; it would swirl
       around the arms as well. The third was different in that upon
       hitting it, it would fall away into nothing, much as the other
       two had.
       Except, given a small delay of a few seconds, the gravity around
       the monster would suddenly increase a hundred fold; which would
       disorient, if not outright causing the behemoth to merely
       stumble and fall. The earth around the monster would crater,
       trees collapsing; earth breaking, fissures spawning.
       The magical snares would seep into the earth, weaving themselves
       up and around the behemoth, entrapping it as they dragged the
       huge monster down, the earth slowly eroding into sand that would
       swallow the monster whole; crushing it and breaking it, eroding
       it until it became apart of the sand, the sand further grinding
       those pieces to dust.
       If not, Dracierous would be forced to use a more direct
       approach.

       An icy sigh escaped the man's lips as he looked out in the
       direction of the monster named "Behemoth" It seemed there was
       always something to deal with nowadays. Clad in all white, he
       prepared to set out, a bitter cold breeze enveloping his body as
       he moved forward, remaining only a few yards to the north of
       Dracierous. Teh two weren't what you would call friends, but he
       respected the man's abilities as well as tectical skills. The
       chosen point of contact was about two thirds of the way toward
       the beast. This was ideal, offering plenty of space for a second
       wave. For now, the two warriors would set up the first line of
       defense here.
       The first thing that needed to be done, was to slow down, or
       even halt the Behemoth's movement. Dracierous' abilities were
       ideal for this. Emerald green eyes watched as he made his move.
       The idea was to slow the beast with the walls, and then corrode
       the earth beneath it, ultimately trapping it within the created
       crater. It was definitely a good idea. The problem arose with
       the beast being able to detect, and avoid the trap before
       arriving. This was where the blonde haired assassin came in. He
       inhaled deeply, mentally removing himself from the situation,
       and focusing entirely on his environment. The surrounding area
       quickly began to grow cold, reaching near sub-zero temperatures
       in mere moments. As the temperature dropped, a heavy mist would
       begin to fill the area. In moments, the mist would grow so
       thick, that it made vision difficult, concealing the three
       walls, and the area of Dracierous' effect from the view of the
       approaching mech.
       It wasn't long before frost began to coat the ground, decreasing
       traction, and lowering the ability to quickly change directions
       while running. These effects should increase the chances of the
       Behemoth falling into the trap, where the two would be ready to
       strike. The shinobi had no way of overpowering the creature. He
       specialized in concealment and precision attacks. But once an
       opening was revealed, he would be ready to strike.
