Dirt flew in the air and grass was strewn from underneath the ground. The air still had its cool feel but the light breeze felt warm on Ethoss's scales.
*Whoosh!*
Ethoss swung his body, aiming to counter the unknown creature's ambush. What he had forgotten was that - most of his tail was still missing at the moment!
His nubby tail swung hard along with his body but his attack came extremely short, missing the creature entirely.
A loud growl resounded.
Seconds later, a wave of pain encompassed Ethoss's rear end. He flinched, looking behind him at his tail and found that the monster had bitten a mouthful from what was left of his tail. Ethoss jumped back a few feet - to gain some distance between the two of them.
He watched as the monster in front of him lusciously munch on a piece of his tail. Thick saliva drooped from its mouth, accompanied by Ethoss's blood from the chunk of meat that it chewed.
