"Almost night already.."
Looking out towards west, the sun was setting the sky into a deep orange shade. Soon this place will drowned in the darkness.
Komo didn't know how great are Komodo's vision, but he had quite likable sight as he could navigate pretty fine in the darkness. But it didn't mean that he would crawling around at night. At day, it's only Kalasir, but at night? Komo didn't even want to know.
After spending his afternoon catching two more young Kalasir, he entered his cave.
But he didn't sleep.
The inside of this cave was obviously all rock, but for the past four days he had brought a handful over handful of sands inside.
After throwing a half eaten carcass aside, he burrowed into the sand quietly like crocodile in a river.
Fully awake, he lying await.
Soon it's all dark outside, he continuously flicked his tongue, collecting the chemical signals in the air to detect the presence of other creatures.
With his keen hearing, he could catch the various shriek, scream and howl of god knows what animals outside his home. And Komo won't lie, he is afraid right now, really scared.
After waiting for some time, he heard something closing towards his cave.
Hearing rustling sound, Komo looked up and saw a creature that look like amalgamation of bat and eagle. It was big, even bigger than Komo. It landed swiftly and began gnawing his half eaten carcass.
'…can I do this?'
Seeing the creature size, he couldn't help but doubtful.
[Target: Young Lawo, can provide 10 biomass.]
Seeing the great amount of biomass, Komo didn't even surprised. What shocked him was the fact that this big creature was actually only a younglings like that Kalasir he always targeted.
'How big was the adult then?'
Such worries worth of never going out at night.
"If this thing finds me, I am afraid that I will be eaten as it's next snack!"
Thinking of this, he keep as still as rock.
Before long, the carcass was nowhere to be seen. But that creature didn't go. It was looking around in wonder. Komo was very successful in hiding; this thing did not find his existence from beginning to end, but he couldn't help but worried.
'Why is this damnable shit still here? Does he notice me?'
He became gloomy.
There was something he didn't notice though.
This creature, it was a she! And her stomach is practically bulging. Komo believe that this creature should have been ate her fills before coming here, but now, he's proven wrong.
After making sure that this place is safe, the young Lawo dug a low pit just right beside Komo. And then she mounted on Komo before screeching, and began giving birth like dumping shit to hole.
"…."
Komo's eyes twitching wildly.
Yes, he's thankful that he has cold blood so she didn't notice him even when she's sat on him.
BUT!
'What the shit is wrong with this thing?! It's intentional! It's gotta be intentional! What kind of feeling is this?!'
Aside from the constant pained screeching that disturb his ear, there's also obvious liquid dripping on his forehead to his face. Furthermore, although he couldn't see how they birthed, he saw how those little after little baby slithered to the ground.
Komo trembled, whether in anger or fear.
'Patience… take a deep breath… patience…'
But at this moment, it seems the young Lawo has grown too tired or maybe the last baby is too big, but she struggled more to push it out. She began clawing at the ground wildly—Except, it was not "ground" at all and her sharp claw easily pierced through Komo's hatchling skin.
"…."
There was silence all around.
Even the mother feel something was not right.
But Komo didn't give her a chance to strike first.
"You little shit!"
Without warning, Komo charged upward, opened his mouth and grabbed Lawo's head with his jaw in one swoop. And before this creature could do anything, he used his claws wildly on her, particularly on her reproductive organs that still held a baby.
Komo was not a sadist, but at this moment, it was his life or this creature.
He needed to inflict pain as much as possible.
Probably feeling their mother pain, the three baby on the ground began crying and squeaking.
Young Lawo struggled fiercely, screeching ruthlessly and screaming in pain. But when she do that, Komo will push his own dirty saliva into her mouth, poisoning her gradually. From start to end, his jaw stayed firmly close.
Finally, five minutes later the creature's struggle end.
"Hah, hah, fuk!"
Komo spitted the Lawo along with his own tongue. It's no wonder that he can't speak properly now. There was also many claws wound around his back and bellies from her limbs wild struggle.
"id I don et u…"
He wanted to curse, but hearing how weird his voice became, he only getting angrier.
He hesitated a bit, but still gritted his teeth and swallowed all the squeaking baby on the ground. After the cave got quiet again, he swallowed the mother in one swoop.

Komo didn't even hesitate to answer.
"Yehs!"
