While we were walking the children, Slither the snake, 16 years old and Camo the chameleon, 10 years old, had told me a lot.
They were brought up in a small town hidden deep within the forest to keep the demy-humans safe. One day a small group of adventurers stumbled across the town. Before the town's men had the time to react, the adventurers mercilessly burnt down the huts and rounded up the survivors and imprisoned them to sell them off as slaves at the great city markets.
"I don't know what's so great about The "Great" City I mean it's so corrupted with greed and goals laced with darkness, should be called The City of Fecal Matter." said Slither
"I'm sorry for the events that have occurred in your past and I can't do anything to stop you from taking your revenge on the humans." I state with a hint of sadness and anger clearly present towards the things that should not have to have happened to them.
As demy-humans they had abilities such as Slither could move his body in unnatural ways, smell things miles away and spit strong acid which was combined with a powerful venom, so even if you were able to heal from the acid you would not survive the venom.
Camo can change the colour of his skin, his clothing and objects he's holding to blend in with his surroundings and take enemies out quickly and efficiently.
Judging from the surrounding we are close to 9 miles away from Memphis when out of nowhere a loud thunderous boom came from the direction we were heading towards, Slither and Camo froze with evident fright. I climbed up on the nearest tree to allow me to see what the cause of the sound was...
An enormous beast that rivalled the castle's height. I looked like a stegosaurus and a raptor came together to make this hideous beast that had 6 legs and 2 arms. The beast we were meant to kill. Then I knew why so many people turned this job down.
We rushed towards the town my brain thinking of ways to vanquish it but I couldn't think of anything. Yama and Paschar stayed completely away even though they could not be harmed by the beast. By the time we got there a quarter of the town had been destroyed.
"Any ideas," I asked Slither and Camo.
Slither spat at its leg, nothing happened.
"I thought that would work but it didn't," Slither said disappointedly.
To try and Cheer him up I tapped the ground for a soft spot and stabbed the end of my sword in it.
And directed a high powered lightning shock at the monster.
I didn't expect anything to happen, and it accomplished nothing, I was unable to gain enough stamina to try it again.
I stood there for about 10 minutes studying it and noticed a little spot under its chin in a different colour. it was small but had a possibility to be a weak point.
I was thinking about ways to kill it...
"We must kill this horrific, awful monstrosity before the young miss sees it," said a man, the short, fat, vile human, all of the things I hate all the most in one large disgusting meaty package. He had a large group of soldiers, Archer's and swordsmen. "archer's, aim, fire" the archer's shot a stream of arrows at the beast. I felt sorry for the best and not the vile humans it was about to massacre but I guess I get paid so I better kill it after it massacres them. But Camo was too caring and ran out towards them, I had to chase after him. The beast lifted his leg as Camo jumped in front of the soldiers and lifted his arms to protect them I don't know what he was trying to achieve my heart raced as the beasts leg slowly and viciously dropped, then something just happened, it felt exhilarating like all of my body was... Improved. I was swifter, stronger and superior...
