If they listen very closely and feel the faint vibrations in the ground, they can hear the sounds of thundering footsteps coming from nearby. Not only that, they may hear the echoing roar of an enraged beast alongside the separate noise of flapping wings. The nearby wildlife cocked their heads at the sudden realization and began to flee the lake. Birds fluttered from their roosts high in the trees, squirrels and deer scampered quickly deeper into the forest, and the lizards hugging the ground slid underneath the large rocks. They knew what was coming. Something was close... and it was rapidly approaching the lake. And the next thing the two bystanders knew... They're here. Bursting straight from the trees, a large flying beast falls off a several meter high cliff opposite of the shore where the old man was sitting by and crashes back-first into the water. Upon closer inspection, one can clearly tell that the flying beast was a fully grown male Wyvern, with dark-red orange skin and black splotches, his wings having a tan-pasty color that shines brightly when seen directly at the sun. Yet he also has fresh wounds and scars on his head and body, clearly indicating that it's in a fight... and from just looking at his panicked nature, he appears to be loosing. As it thrashes to get himself back up and readies to fly, the trees above burst open to reveal another huge monster lunging down from the cliff! [color=9e0b0f][b]"SKRRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"[/b][/color] the beast roars menacingly as he pounces on the monster with his black beak-like mouth wide open with fire spewing from deep within his throat. The Wyvern was quick enough to dodge, but only barely as the following splash shoves him at an angle that promptly puts him back on the ground. The wyvern shrieks as the attacking monster rears its massive body from the crystal-clear waters. The bipedal theropod looks like a monster from hell, sporting dark-crimson skin, with two rows of massive blackish-blue spikes piercing out of his back. Even his tail seems to be shaped like a massive sword blade, ready to decapitate anything that's foolish enough to get in his way. It's clearly much more powerful when compared to the frail-looking wyvern. As he growls menacingly towards the flying beast, he makes a mad lunge at the wyvern, only to fall slightly short as the opponent quickly takes a step back and takes to the air. Quickly the creature lunges his talons at the carnosaur's head, attempting to break into his armored skull. The theropod bellows annoyingly as he thrashes his head wildly to get him off, his tail splashing rapidly in the water in desperation. With a sudden heave however, the theropod bangs his head against the cliff, while also thrusting the wyvern straight into the rocks. The creature grunts painfully as the impact prompts him to fly back into the air. With another screech the wyvern begins to position himself to leave the battlefield, knowing that he'll loose the battle if he continues to stick around. Yet as it prepares to leave, the land-based dinosaur had just one more thing up his sleeve. With a burst of adrenaline, the monster climbs briefly on the cliff and leaps off it all while raising his blade-like tail straight towards the wyvern! While his aim was a bit off, the tail was able to chop the wyvern's club-like spiked tail clean off as both tails make a huge splash back in the water, causing a large wave to crash upon the shore. The flying beast howls in pain as it stutters briefly in mid-flight yet was still able to regain his balance as he flies above the treetops and makes his exit. The theropod's aquamarine eyes and void-black pupils look menacingly into the air as it dishes out one last bellow, as if calling the wyvern a coward, before submerging into the deep part of the lake. For a brief minute or two, it seemed like the monster disappeared completely, only leaving the blood from the wyvern's tail oozing in the lake. Yet by the shore where Pan and his buddy were lying, something else emerges from the depths. A scaly-green lizardman pulls himself out of the water panting heavily as he plops down on all fours by the muddy shore.
