[@Zeroth] [@Kazemitsu] [@Guy0fV4lor] It was an uneventful trip. He had seen a number of monsters making a smart decision to move away from the areas where the conflicts were. Though he had taken notice of the number of monsters making their way to the small pool of water. Ed remembered this pool, it was near the nest. He could remember it from yesterday. The news had made Ed smile with relief. He could have went straight back to the nest but, as nature demands it, he needed to drink water. Ed had not drank anything since last night and his...meal from the free-for-all only made it so that he was more thirsty than before. He then spot a small humanoid with wings. It was wounded, downed, exhausted, and all alone. Ed's dire rat brain deemed the wounded humanoid to be the perfect hunting opportunity and gave Ed the desire to kill this creature. Ed slowly stalked the humanoid, his instinct to pounce on the creature and kill it was gnawing at the back of his head. Ed was to act upon his body's desire until he saw a glance of it's almost human appearance. In a fraction of a second, the horrific images and words from his nightmare resurfaced in his mind; causing Ed to wince. He refused to take another step forward and willed himself to stop stalking his 'prey' and let it go on without question. [color=chocolate]'It has no quarrel with me and I have no need or reason to kill it.'[/color] He thinks to himself before reaching the edge of the pond and seeing his reflection. It did not show his human face he was so accustomed to. Instead, the water reflected back the face of a young dire rat with bluish fur with amber colored eyes. [color=chocolate]'I'm not a monster...right?'[/color] Ed thought to himself, gazing deep into his own reflection.
