Hunting after eating a juicy peach

"Can the boy still be saved?" asked Ji Yao clutching the hilt of his sword tightly as he stared at the boy with bloodshot eyes.

"Ha..... you ask..... because..... you want to.... know if... you... strike me will ..... the child... die or .... be hurt," spoke the boy staring at him with a taunting smile.

"You half ..... breeds... are as

..... arrogant... as those... Nocru... bastards. You..... think..... yourselves gods," he said as he took subtle strides to his left.

Ji Yao had no idea how this conversation changed from the boy to the Nocru being bastards. "What does that have to do with me?" he said watching him vigilantly.

"Humans..... feared me... they worshipped..... me. I had... human... offerings..... to keep me... satiated until..... they came..... here. How then... can I... not hold a.... grudge," said the creature taking another step.
