Maravilla the female lucain. Belinda the obsidian slydra. And Kio the venom serraptor. (Post# 2 - 0 - 17) (Level# 1 - 1 - 3)
As the sun set on a turbulent day, three shapes appeared near the coast of the sea.
"Here?" asked one of the shapes, a strong young lucain. "It's better than nothing." hissed the largest shape, which looked like a large snake. "Stupid war. Why must we train to fight someone else's battles?"
"Because we are bound to a land, and we will protect it." The third shape countered. He was a tall venom serraptor. "Now you lazy brute, I'm an attacker. What do you do?"
"Shoot poison at you, of course." responded the Slydra simply.
"I'm immune to your poisons, remember?" spat the serraptor.
"Um... I'd... bite you. My toxins won't work but my fangs will."
A slow smile spread across the serraptor's face. "Try it."
Quickly, the slydra lunged forward, but the serraptor darted away with the agility evolved by his ancestors. He stopped and grinned victoriously.
"Be quicker." he said, then turned to the lucain, who had been watching silently. "Mary, you try."
She stood there a moment, sizing him up, then suddenly sprang, trying to catch him of guard. He watched and clawed her lightly as she passed, a milimeter too far.
"God, you two, where did you learn to fight? The nursery?" he laughed. A growl erupted in Mary's throat and she sprang again at the venom serraptor, this time meeting her mark."Rule number one, Kio: Be aware." she hissed. The serraptor pushed her off with a scowl on his face.
"Good. Now let's sort this out. We can go Mary and Belinda, then Belinda and me, and me and Mary, untill one of gets tired, got it?"
"Got it." said Mary, preparing for battle.
