Rei was knocked aside by the massive beast that emerged from the door. Her beautiful assortment of wildflowers that she had been so proud of fell from her mouth and scattered across the ground. Stumbling back to her feet she moved her now sore and slightly scraped body into the sky, thankful that she had kept her wings tucked tightly to her sides. It would have been a terrible time for an injured wing. Overcome with worry she watched those without wings get to their feet.

"What are you waiting for? Kill it."

Rei was shocked by the creature that emerged from the door.And she was certainly taken back by the voice that belonged to the jawbone demanding for them to kill the lizard like creature. None of this was what she had expected.

Then she caught sight of the egg in the beasts pouch. Why would such a creature have such a disproportionate door? Could it be that it had been an intruder? Could it have taken the egg from its rightful parents? Reptiles ate eggs. Rei's attitude became fierce. She would not allow anything to happen to the precious cargo nestled in the egg.

"You are already preparing to fight for something that you care about now determine the strength and the weakness." It was almost as if she could hear her father whispering his favorite tip in her ear.

Speed. Speed was its strength. Although large, its webbed feet were perfect for traveling quickly through the sand. Its weaknesses would include the usual; the eyes, the neck, and the underbelly.

The beast needed to be slowed down. Calculating her best approach she deliberated between attacking a front or a back leg of the reptilian creature.

"Listen everyone!" the gentleness of the mare's voice had nearly vanished all together, Rei was all business at this point. "It has an egg, we have to return it to its rightful mother!" She refused to entertain the thought that the parents of the egg could have been taken down by the beast.

What would it do if it got further into Helovia?

Gaining altitude Rei then dipped down into a dive towards the back of the creature's head. With her forelegs extended she hoped to dig them into the neck.

The leopard pegasus tried to keep her momentum going as she moved towards the webbed feet. She hoped that her attack on the head would be enough to leave it stunned momentarily. Her plan was to move from the back of the head to attack the webbing between the toes. Normally thin skin made up webbing so her plan was to slice through it.
