First Battle in the New Land
Dirt flew in the air and grass was strewn from underneath the ground. The air still had its cool feel but the light breeze felt warm on Ethoss's scales.
*Whoosh!*
Ethoss swung his body, aiming to counter the unknown creature's ambush. What he had forgotten was that - most of his tail was still missing at the moment!
His nubby tail swung hard along with his body but his attack came extremely short, missing the creature entirely.
A loud growl resounded.
Seconds later, a wave of pain encompassed Ethoss's rear end. He flinched, looking behind him at his tail and found that the monster had bitten a mouthful from what was left of his tail. Ethoss jumped back a few feet - to gain some distance between the two of them.
He watched as the monster in front of him lusciously munch on a piece of his tail. Thick saliva drooped from its mouth, accompanied by Ethoss's blood from the chunk of meat that it chewed.
