My first match was a week ago and I've fought five times since then, It is now night time and I'm laying on my stomach atop my smooth tall pillar and listening to the depressing and cynical chatter of all the prisoners. From when I ate Walrus,Wolverines,and Drizzle's memories and abilities I gain stuff such as Icebreath and their knowledge of this world.
I can't help but feel bored now to the point that I almost miss the voice in my head now that it stopped speaking for a time I guess I've grown used to it there and now that its not it just kinda feels weird. I wish the fights were more bloody and drawn out but my opponents died a little to easily for my liking, thinking about my fight I can't help but lash my tail around in frustration how quick it was and excitement looking forward to when I might find strong openents
leaving behind scratches on the once perfectly smooth surface of my pillar. It is currently the Sandwing succession war going on between the three Sandwing sisters who are Burn, Blister, Blaze who are fighting over the throne with their allies, effectively dragging the whole continent into the war. Scarlet is Burn's allie thats why she has so many prisoners and I really want to join it to but I'm not aware where the battles are going on so joining in on the fun is not a immediate solution. Needing to do something about my boredom I tranform my scales to be completely black and return my body to its original size and silently jump of my pillar and fly above the clouds blending into the night sky and using my senses to search for an animal to hunt. From the memories I gained from my first oponents I learned that the animals in this world are a lot more diverse and magical than that of earth. The Rainwings rainforest it a lot more peaceful than any of the surrounding environments and the more intelligent usualy keep their distance due to my aura so I didn't notice this before but now that I know I'm going to see if I can find any interesting abilities.
Flying lower now that I'm further away from the Sky kingdom I spot what looks like to be a goat, the goat has pitch black hair and a milky white exoskeleton that looks what a usual goats skeleton would look like except a few protruding spikes, such as the end of the ribs, ankles, wrist, temples, spine, and the bottom of it's jaw, the goat has extremely long curly ram like horns with sharp pointed ends and pale grayish blue eyes whithout any whites in them and its the size of an average sized horse on earth or one fifth the size of a dragonet, and when I sense it's aura I feel an aura of death, like of an rotting corpse, it's a creature fuled by rage and not it's that weak either. Landing in front of Death Goat I let out a low rumbling growl alerting it of my presence becasue sneak attacks would be no fun they would end my oponents life quicker than I would prefer, most humans on earth are not suitable for trying to have a exciting battle with becasue It ruins my stealth and it always ends up in disappointment.
Having noticed me it turns its head in my direction (apparently it doesn't have a strong sense of smell) staring at me with it's ghastly eyes that have a bit of an intimidation affect that according to my estimates would surely cause the weak willed to shit themselves. Due to my strong will I only felt a little nervousness but the effect quickly wore off but the Death Goat didn't seem to solely rely on its eyes alone
becasue it charges at me in rage aiming to hit my arm with its horns, allowing the attack to connect the Death Goat's horns slam into my shin leaving nothing but a scratch on my inky black scales, The Death Goat thrashes around as I grab onto the Death Goat's horns with my maw and throwed it into the air causing it to crash into a tree trunk causing me to watch it with amusement when it slides into the dead leaves laying below the tree due to fall approaching. Standing back up the Death Goat crouches into a sprinting position and opens its mouth wide showing its sharp nasty teeth and the attack its charging up which is a inky black orb slowly growing in mass with shadows slithering around it producing low but sharp whispers. Looking at the shadowy orb thats radiating a aura of death and power in greed I position myslef so the attack would hit my arm, which while reckless and frankly stupid it would allow me to see the power of my new attack. Watching the shadowy orb which radiates danger as it approaches me the sky seems to darken and the shadows of the trees surrounding me seems to elongate and slither around almost. I brace myself for the pain it's aura promised me to bring as it "splashes" into me consuming my left arm and trying to spread, it decays my scales causing them to curl and wilt like a dead flower and quickly rots my flesh and tender skin once protected by my scales turning my flesh black and melting my already black skin. My blood turns to an inky black boiling acid, the spilled blood melting the earth and the rest melting me, the attack seems to have a pain amplifying effect as even though it healed in two seconds classifying it as a highly fatal injury, it gave the effect of feeling like time slowed down making two seconds feel like an hour causing me to let out a deep, gutteral, throaty and roar in pain, unbefitting of a young dragonet like me despite how large I an compared to other of my age. taking a second to recover from the pain out of a sense of pettiness I dug my sharp claws into the cute little Death Goat repeatedly using extraordinary speed to flash around the goat leaving long but shallow cuts every time I stop making the goat fume in confusion and burning rage evident by its eyes turning a blood red and its size explosively growing larger now the same size as myslef, its muscles bulged and the spike present on its exoskeleton elongated and turned serrated showing an example of the quote "offense is the best defense", its tail bone jutted out giving it a skeletal tale that looked like a thorned whip, the two spikes on the bottom of the jaw curled up protecting its throat, and the ones on its temples thickened and twisted turning into a second pair of jagged twisted horns which curled forward slightly protecting its eyes, the now equally large Death Goat's aura grew just as much as it's size and it seems to have lost the little intelligence it had left charging forward madly and once getting a little closer in range it's bone spikes shot out a few burying themselves shalowly into my flesh causing me to let out a deep and rumbling growl. Due to my scales taking most the impact they didn't get buried deep but the fuckers would be one hell of a pain to rip out if not for them dissolving and strengthen my own skeletal system due to my healing which also repaired my magled flesh and scarred scales. Judging by the friving plant life my blood was splashed opon my blood has healing properties to. Tired of playing with the goat I dash towards it and dig my teeth it its right leg crunching its bones like potato chips causing it to thrash around, I use my fangs and inject a rare disease I was accidentally "consumed" that accelerates aging making you age aproximently twice as fast, I made it more potent making it have quick and obvious affects. The Death Goat's turned a dull grey before falling out and its muscles weakened and its bones turned brittle, its once blue/gray eyes now became a milky white showing its blindness. The Death Goat opened its mouth to let out a roar of agony only to let its rotting teeth to fall out its mouth. Dropping my prey on the ground I stomp on its brittle ribcage crushing both it's heart and spine, when pulling my foot back up I dig my talons into the Death Goat's bleeding body mangling it further. After killing it I place my palm on its head like one would do their dog
before lifting my palm and licking it with my forked tounge gaining only it's abilities due to me not having an interest in its memories and it never having the privilege of gaining a name.
