Aquila
‘No, don’t!’ Large, glass-like eyes of teal and yellow flicker from the monstrosity before her to a gray equine rushing up behind it. Was this a second attack? Scaled ears pin flush with her head, disappearing into her face-fins and neck-ridges and she further flexes her haunches in case she must meet the mare’s charge.
But, as the distinct sound of horn clipping the shark’s metal bones pierced the air, Aquila quickly realized that this mare was an ally in this battle. The decorated woman’s dual horns scored the strange, waxy brown flesh of the creature, skating through it’s thick skin, hitting the dark metal bones. That was stupid. Brave, the warrioress acknowledged, but getting that close to it’s teeth was unwise.
The unexpected assault knocked it to the side and the mutant roared, it’s voice was hoarse and metallic, like the sound of metal crumpling and scraping against metal. Eyes of gleaming green snap their beady stare to the new prey, a gush of electric saliva sparking on its blade-like teeth. Thick jaw swings sideways as it attempts to impale the warm, fleshy meal in its jaws- only to be drug away from it’s meal from above. A thunderous rough clanging erupted from the beast’s throat, as it flailed in the hawk’s talons. Razored jaws twisted to and fro, aiming to bite and sever this attacker.
Aquila, about to turn and join the mare and flee once more, stayed her flighted legs for a mere moment as movement from above caught her eye. Indeed, a hawk-like equine attacked from above. Another ally! A hint of relief passed through her oversized eyes, for she hadn’t been keen on her odds of survival just moments before. But with this hawk in the sky, they might stand a chance-
A clatter of bones came from above, just as Aquila completed her pivot on the haunches to flee with her original ally. An unearthly shriek came from her mouth, ending in a snarl and reflexive rear and jab with her horn as the winged skeleton’s sharp hooves collided with her withers and spine. Though her reaction did little- for how can you attack flesh that isn’t there? “Now the equines are monsters?!” Her exasperated cry rang sharply over the sound of surf. “You stupid coward, side with your kind!”The odds were turning against them again.
Ignoring the welling and dribbling of her dark blue blood on her back, she ran once more. Unblinking gaze sweeping the cliffs. There. A small alcove, a cave. It was too small for the shark or skeleton to fit in. She wasn’t sure if she would fit in it. And they would be trapped- damn. “A cave, over there. But we’ll be trapped,” her throaty voice was breathless as it carries to the other fleeing mare.
She called over her shoulder to their winged knight in the skies, “Do you see a path in the cliffs from above?” The shark would be unable to climb the rocks, she was relatively certain. But the damn skeleton would get them if they ascended the cliffs! “And knock that fiend from the skies!” Her panic had subsided now that she had allies, and she instinctively started issuing orders.
The beast, free of the hawk now, reared on his hind legs and snapped at the airborne snack. Then its glowing eyes alighted on the skeleton. Not much to eat there, but crunching on bones could get the flesh unstuck from between his teeth. Like flavored toothpicks. Again, a rumble shook the creature’s gaping chest, and it started after the fleeing mares. Two tendrils of sickly green water speeding ahead of it, wrapping around each hind leg, hissing as it touched flesh.
refuge and vengeance
ooc| Womp, sorry for the delay! So maybe I should’ve used the RE account to play the shark… XD oh well. but feel free to do whatever you want with it! Also, don't feel like you need to match length or anything, my replies just get longer with every added character to the post XD
