12 ❤ 🐲
For the days to come, xarius never missed to check his cubs in the lava. He always comes to visit them atleast 3 times a day, seeing them still floating in the bubbling lava, he sighed in relief.
Is his cubs gonna get out burnt? Torched and all dark?
Mytha had recovered, her bulging belly reduced to the original form, there was no lines. As if she never even gave birth.
Making hasia sigh in jealousy,
Mytha is a dragon, even a severed limb can be return to normal in just few weeks. What more of a simple birth?
Mytha put a huge invincible barrier around the volcano. It was huge for now.,, and even doubled the barrier on the mouth of the volcano.
If a creature gave away a sign of killing intent against xarius or the others in the tribe. It will be forcibly thrown out the barrier and wont be allowed entrance the second time.
She is a dragon,.. The highest existence in animal world, or any other world there is, dragons are always of higher planes.
She dont believe another creature, unless a dragon as high level as her, can break her barrier.
Then after recovering, she bid him goodbye.
She chuckled at his lowered ears. Scratching his chiseled jaw, his beard even felt soft to her fingers.
"Ill come back.. " she whispered.
She had long said her intentions before they even came to this. He knew he cant stop her.
He wasn't so oblivious to notice how strange and peculiar she is, and how powerful she is.
"Take care of the eggs, ill come back the before they hatch"
But they hatch for a long time. She look up to the sky. Smiling at him, it was night, the sky was dark, she had her wings spread, beautiful huge dark scaled wings.
She bent down to kiss him. ".. Ill see you soon puppy"
He stared into her eyes. She flapped her wings and flew away. And he watched her flew away.
---
Even with a flap of her wings, she travelled faster than anything. When morning came she found herself in another place, it was a muddy swamp.
She curled her wings back. Putting them away, smiling as she trotted along the muddy banks.
She can sense a lot of creatures, her aura is hidden, allowing even the smallest creatures to watch her with interest.
A huge croc lay on the muddy swamp.
The huge trees were different from the forest, they were more darker color, looking like a willow. With even vines hanging on the branches.
She really doesn't have any idea which to mate next. As long as it interest her. Why not.
From her distance. She can hear voices, filled with screams, not of terror but excitement.
She silently followed the voices, and the more she came close the more she can hear the water splashing around. And excites yelling of males.
"We got it! Wohooo!! "
"Pull the lines! Dont let it escape to the
Deeper part! "
"Tighter! "
"The vines are breaking! "
"More vines! "
"Coming! "
Mytha watch from the side, they didn't even notice her. No one will notice her unless she allows it too.
There was a huge, like.. A really huge croc, and at least 20 or so males surrounding it, it tries to use its death roll,. But its mouth was tightly wrapped with vines.
The other males hurried to wrap its legs, 4 people pulling the vine in its mouth tight. Clenching their teeth, not relaxing till they kill the beast.
Then, a young man, with bronze like skin., created a momentum, he jumped up high,. A spear in his hand. Then, straight to the monsters head, he striked down.
He was a 3 marked male,
The strength he possess was strangely stronger than most, making her raise a brow.
A small smile on her lips. Her eyes filled with interest.
The spear stabbed through the thick skull, and straight to the dirt, impaling it dead to the muddy floor.
Finally, the males got to relax. They all howled, laughing.
"This is enough to last for weeks for the tribe. " they all nodded eagerly.
"Fortunately, Axon is strong enough to kill it in one strike. "
Axon, was the bronze skinned male, who were standing on top of the beast. His serious expression turn to a huge smile. "Hey hey, we all did our best in this hunt,. "
He laughed happily.
Then jump down, "now we should cut it up in pieces first and transfer the parts back to the tribe. "
They cant carry this huge monster even when all males participate. Beside that the mud really doesn't help.
Some where left behind to guard, and some started to work, taking only the important part. Its really a huge gain for their tribe this time.
Axon, only took the best piece, ran to the tribe with a huge smile. Holding that piece of meat.
He intends to present it to Anasia. The female he is courting. Anasia is a female be picked up from the wilderness. Saving her from the mouth of a pack of bloody hyenas.
He had shown his interest of being her first male. And among the males his age, he really had talent. Being a 3 mark male.
He trotted faster eagerly.
Mytha, who had followed behind him silently, watch him enter a cave. Then a pretty female and axon came out of the place.
The female had a bright smile. There was no mark on her body,.. And axon was pleasing her.
Mytha immediately lost interest. Why would she have the heart to separate these lovers? And, besides.. She really didn't want to be someone's first mate.
She didn't want a clingy male, it was better if it were like xarius.. Yes. Its better to find someone that is not tied to her. The ones who will not take his chances like xarius.
Like a cute little puppy.
A smile curved her lips.
She almost flew away, but.. Hey, its not so bad to see new interesting things in this tribe. Hmm,.. Maybe she will find someone too.
She smiled and went deeper to the forest.
The remaining males working on the carcass took all the usable parts of the carcass, even the bones and skin are not spared.
The group of males starts to walk back with glee to the tribe. The few ones who were left, started packing up, tying the bones and skins with vines.
"This hunt is a huge success. "
They laughed, suddenly there was scream from the forest,.
It.. Was a female! The males look at each other, dropped the things in hand and rush to the source of the sound. There, on the muddy swamp, there was a female on the edge of the swamp, her body had mud on them.
There was no time to think,. The 4 males changed to their orc form. They run to protect the female, fangs and teeth bared.
As the last struggle of the last croc, they finally turned to the crying female. A stunning face came to their view. Halting them.
Mytha wipe the tears on her eyes. Looking at them pitifully.. "Woo,.. Tha.. Thank you for saving me"
There was mirth in her eyes they couldn't see.
