I knew that the creature I was facing was stronger. ( But it still hates fire.) It kept staring at me... gauging me. My wings were folded behind me calmly sitting there. The tension in the air could be cut with a knife. I've never been one to strike first. But I also know I have a slight advantage. My tongue was coiling in my mouth. The poison was coating it thoroughly.
The Eagle finally had enough of waiting and dove at me. The electricity flew off its wings in arcs to the ground as it flew at me. I rolled to the side and let my tongue loose. I hit its right leg, dying it purple. At the same time, I felt a strong stinging sensation across my tongue. ( Ouch!) My tongue had struck and immediately returned; a little numb and filled with pins and needles after hitting the bird.
The birds leg started getting coated in frost and the purple spread little by little.( This thing has poison resistance!) I thought as that was the only way it could still be in the air. The bird screeched at me. I hissed back( Come down you bastard!).
I opened my wings. ( Fine. Better late than never.) I flapped up into the air. My wings felt better for getting the chance to stretch. ( I have to make this quick.) The Eagle rocketed toward me. ( Crap!) I did a barrel roll to avoid him. I breathed fire at it as it passed catching a few of it's feather ablaze. But the thing I forgot was that the lightning flew from it hitting me in the side as it passed. ( Ack!) The numbing sensation made me falter a little.
/ hosts multi elemental resistance has leveled up to 6/ ( Why can't you level up a different way! ) I screamed at the system. I continued flapping and started following the bird in the air. We circled one another and dove at each other. My claws raked at it's back and left trailing feather bits and blood. It's claws scraped off of my scales leaving long white mark's. We finally settled with latching together. My middle claws grabbed its claws and hauled it close. I opened my maw and bit it's where its left wing met its body and tore. The wing didn't come off. But a good chunk of his shoulder came away. The eagle screeched and pecked twirling and throwing me toward the ground.
I managed to get some of my directional control back and opened my wings before I could hit the ground. The air caught me for a couple seconds allowing me to slow down for impact. It still hurt like hell when I landed though. Let's put it this way. I did not land gracefully. I was entrenched in the ground head first. I pulled my head out of the dirt and hauled myself up shaking away the soil and sneezing out the dust in my nose.
The bird came gliding,very wobbly until it finally landed a good 40 feet from me. It looked ragged. Its feathers were charred and the dishevelled. I shook myself off hardly damaged from the fall. I charged toward it. Suddenly it opened its beak and a ball of electricity started forming. ( Crap. I'm not gonna make it.) It released the ball and I dodged to the side. The ball let go of arcs as it flew. One hit my back right leg. I felt a jolt and I staggered a little and felt a searing pain. I glanced back to see a lichtenberg scar going across my leg on the scales. / Hosts pain resistance has reached level 4. Hosts multi-elemental resistance has reached level 7/
I glared at the bird and it glared at me. ( This ends now.) I charged it again despite the pain. It charged another ball. I jumped and spun swinging my tail downward like I had with the boar. I slammed the birds head into the ground. Its jaw slammed shut when it hit the ground. There was a loud crackling explosion that threw me away from it. The electricity arced from the bird during the explosion. I hit the ground where a ringing filled my ears and a sharp jolting pain came from my tail.
After a moment I got my bearings back. The ringing in my head was a little less but my feet were the ultimate test. Slowly I made my way to my feet. I felt unbalanced for a few moments. I still hurt like hell. But it was better than being dead. ( That was a big bang.... hehehe) I moved up toward where the eagle was laying with it's feet facing the sky.
( Its head is gone!?!?!) I thought in shock. All that was left was a smoking lump where its neck used to be. I flopped onto the ground exhausted. (That... was cool.) I heard a child's voice. "Is it dead? I felt a poke on one of my wings. I flapped the thing away and rolled over. It was a little girl in a flower dress with a tiny stick. She fell over and squeeled when I rolled. I was now on my stomache and I tell you I ached. I glanced at the girl and the boys who ran up to check on her.
" That thing killed the Thunder Eagle! Look its head is gone!" I got up slowly and limped over to the eagle. I grabbed it by the stump of its head and started dragging it back toward the forest. I didn't even pay the kids any attention.
" Hey! Wait!" The girl yelled. I ignored her and kept moving. ( I did what I had to and nothing more. Did I do the right thing?) I wondered as I dragged the corpse back into my hollow. I dug a deep hole and threw the carcass in. I then ventured to the back part of the hollow to my secret spot.
( I have been storing my special foods in here for some time. About time they became of use.) I pulled a massive wok from the hole. It that was filled with different herbs. One looks and tastes like ginger but is called magna root. Another is a mushroom that is really spicy called a heart flame shroom. I won't go into the others as it would take too long. I took the wok to the hole and placed it next to it. I then incinerated the feathers that were left in the bird. ( Time for food) I thought happily and tiredly.
