[@Cuccoruler][@luclovers] The Magna Pater had strangled countless beings to death, but none in recent memory had boasted no need for blood or air. As Cia's claws cut painful grooves into the monster's tail, it turned on her with all the primal savagery that could be expected from the patriarch of monsters. It attempted to lift her up on tiptoes by the neck so that she'd have extreme difficulty manouvering her vulnerable legs away from its grinding, horrible jaws. She could kick at it plenty, but without any footing and against so brutal a creature, such a feeble resistance would scarcely delay what would come next. A ballet dancer's worst nightmare. Shredded muscle, bleeding gills of ragged skin hanging from splintered bone, a maiming of the legs that was no simple nightmare one could wake up from. This beast was the ender of dreams, the taker of children. Up until this point, the trials of easily defeated Taken and cowardly forest animals that the adventurers faced had been about as dangerous as a canker sore in comparison. Edit: Since I just found out that Cia is hand sized, just... I don't know, void all the above and pretend it's about to eat her like a Kit Kat bar. [img] http://sc.mogicons.com/l/sad-face-76.png[/img]
