The Great Western Mountains

Sage
The green-haired druid reached up so that she might lay a hand upon Thorra’s broad shoulder, gripping tight with fingernails longer and sharper than any elf’s yet far short of more than scratching at the muscle of the hammer’s form. No, she was clearly steadying herself, and reared back with several uncomfortable swallows. Her mouth began to open wider than any elf’s should, and the previous breaths began to expel with a click, clack, clicking of utterly inhuman resonance. It was some manner of call, some bestial beseeching, and yet despite its sharpness the sound was consumed by the thickening mist.
All sounds, save those of their stalker, died before it reached them - or returned.
A sharp, sinister hiss filled the space between them and the heavy vapor amending the pair’s vision. Sage’s eyes widened in alertness, and she pushed at Thorra to knock her aside!
Then that same hanging moisture began to swirl and churn and move as if to strike just where the demigod had been moment’s before. A bloody line was scoured through the druid’s arm.
SINIB:
Thorra
The hammer moved fast. She lashed out with the speed of the gods, slamming her head against the mist with an electrifying explosion of heat and energy.
At the same time, she ran forwards and scooped Sage up into an arm, holding her tightly against her body. "Don't try to sacrifice yourself for me. Remember why we're out here!"

Thorra's hammer smashed away the monstrous appendage that had struck, and the force of the explosion dispersed for precious moments the thickly cloying mist. The familiar scent of ozone consumed the mildewy odor clinging to everything, but that was merely a pleasant distraction from the sight of the shadow of something long and sinuous swimming through the vapor as swiftly away from the hammer's force as possible.
Sage didn't squirm, but did smack Thorra in the side. "I have no intention of mine own life ending for you! Now pay attention to it - it starves, so it will not easily relent!"
Indeed, this time a torrent of strikes descended from the shroud of moisture hanging above them - a frenzied barrage that ended as quickly as it began.
SINIB:
Thorra
"That's good to hear! I'm not too worried about meeting my maker here, though. It's wrong, all wrong!" Thorra yelled back with a cocky grin. "I won't be dying just yet!"
She rushed in, using her control of the sky to create a big gust of wind to blow the fog away and reveal their foe.

The druid started thrashing about underneath Thorra's arm, her arms and legs swinging and kicking. "W-Wait, you need to release me before you start moving about like-!"
But no, t'was not to be. Even this primordial phenomenon yielded to the demigoddess' primacy, and the mist above them was scattered. The creature which swam within, assailing them, revealed but a moment of its true visage in this manner. A wall of grey scales, withered by age and famine, swam across their vision before escaping further back into its native environment.
It was a retreat which did not last, and the next thing Thorra knew as she tried to orient herself to its movements again it was licking at ankles! Not her's though, no, it was Sage's own kicking ones.
