Igris looked around for a place to hide, as running was not an option, because considering the speed at which the creature was approaching he knew he could not outrun what ever layed eggs as big as a horse.
***Thump, thump***
The loud steps suddenly stopped right above the eggs , as what seemed to be a really big crocodile surfaced and began checking the eggs ,
"is that a crocodile??, why is it so big , that is the size of two carriages stacked on each other", Igris thought
**Screech***
The piercing cries of the crocodile filed the air , as it noticed some of its eggs damaged , Igris knew he was in trouble , I'm an effort to escape , he stepped on a twig , the sound drew the attention of the beast towards where he was hiding
"Shit" , Igris exclaimed
At this point running was the only option,
"forget being stealthy or not being able to outrun the beast , I've got to get out of here now " Igris said as he began running
**Screech**
The beast once again let out a loud cry and began chasing after Igris
Igris who was already on the run had a lot of questions , like why a crocodile was that big ,but none of those questions were as important as how he could outrun , No survive the beast after him .
Igris finally got to the edge of a cliff , below it was a large body of flowing water.
"Wow that's a long way down", Igris said in surprise
The question wasn't Weather or not he should jump … the question was , what would be the beasts reaction, would it jump with me ?
At this point the beast was right behind him, Igris kept taking one step back at a time , until he was at the edge , barely wobbling
"Ummm… hello over sized crock … umm so can we talk about this , so here is the thing , I was brought here against my will, I didn't step on your eggs deliberately"
Igris kept talking and waving his hands trying to explain, words were just coming out if his mouth , and surprising the crock just stood there looking at the puny creature that destroyed its eggs trying to challenge him by waving it's hands
"and so that how I ended up falling into the egg "
Igris said and finally stopped moving
**Screech**
Another piercing sound echoed throughout the forest and it sounded really close, the sound drew the attention of the crocodile,
**Thump …thump**
Loud footsteps could be heard, and the sound drew really close and from the darkness emerged a giant ant, an ant the size of the crocodile, Igris witnessing this , stood there in shock..he couldn't move a muscle .
"what is this situation?" Igris thought to himself
The giant insect and the crocodile stood before each other ,on guard , watching closely…waiting to see who would attack first , Igris stayed behind the crock at the edge of the clif ,he couldn't move from the spot he was standing, as his legs had gone cold from fear.
**Screech **
The crocodile screamed as he rushed towards the and to bite it , the and stood still , and when the crocodile was in range , with its strong mandibles , the Ant lifted the crocodile which was either same weight as it or heavier, and threw it on the ground
**Screech**
The crocodile screamed, without giving it a chance to come back up , the ant drove it's mandible into the crocodile like it was knife on butter, and just like that , the crocodile died .
The ant turned away from the body and went back into the darkness it came from, Igris who witnessed the whole incidents was finally able to move …though barely because because his legs were shaky ,finally summoned the courage to approach the corpse of the crocodile
"who knew ants were this dangerous and powerful" Igris said as he looked at the level of damage done and how quickly the ant ended the battle,
It isn't even worthy of being called a battle because it was one sided and what's even more surprising is how the ant effortlessly penetrated the thick scales of the crocodile.
**Growl***
