[center][h2]Death or Permission?[/h2][/center] Right snarled when his hits met true. The tendril buried deeper, sinking into the flesh and bone, as his nostrils filled with blood and essence seeping from the man. Acidic water still dampening and burning the man's clothes stung his tendrils, more sensitive than the rest of his body and made him flinch visibly. His nose, missing the faint order of sulfur, inhaled deeply while his hand like paw reached for the leg. He roared in pain filling his flesh. The flame raced up past his claw causing him to retract it, the fire consuming his arm up to the elbow before it twisted into ashes. His body tensed and tendril started to follow the same fate. Right's fangs bared and eyes glowed, his neck raised upright when he heard the human's words. He sneered in distaste and seemed leer down at his would be prey, not bothered by the threat, locking eyes. [color=darkkhaki]“ Lang fucking mamatay, sa tawo.”[sup]*[/sup][/color] Diplomacy was Middle's job, not his. He didn't care if he died. They would come back, they always did and stronger.

Right's eyes looked murderous as he straggled out a mental hiss. [i]Why?[/i] He answered his own question when Left's head jerked and started to stir. Both heads frozen immediately as they studied the Left stir and lick his teeth, seemingly on the verge of waking. Flowers near the hind paw shuddered as the nearest flower dulled and became a dull, colorless gray then crackled, crumbling away into dust in moments. Right's ears pulled back in distress at the realization at how much danger their charge was in should Left wake then shivered, letting his fury die. On feeling the sensation, Middle released his grip and turned to the man. His eyes gave an aura of being older than himself and spoke for the quelled wrath, [color=Darkkhaki]“Ayaw gayud mobalik sa niini nga dapit o risgo mapalong ... Kini nga yuta mao ang akong pagtunglo, dili inyo.”[sup]**[/sup][/color] [sup]Just fucking die human. * Never return to this place or risk be extinguished... This land is my curse, not yours. **[/sup]
