[i]Suddenly, the Magna Pater's senses went kaput. It was struck a glancing blow along the curve of its snaking body and right through its right wing. The tough membrane stood no chance and the monster was rendered flightless by the injury. A foot long groove was opened up on its side, a couple ribs losing their tips. The bulge of its purple intestines poked from the lower portion of wound.

By no means were the coarse, greasy things that drifted through the Magna Pater's head comparable to human emotions. If they were, however, they would be most akin to surges of deep, resentful anger. It had taken a misstep for the first time in a very long time. It performed its vanishing act before it hit the ground. [/i]
