[Jungle Wilds] Cannibals! Cannibals! Burn it with Fire!

The Jungle Wilds, 19th of Bell, 13th of Summer 513 A.V

"Don't quiver ssso much, sssmall sissster!" A Dhani warrior in his dhani form was walking beside a much smaller Dhani in her human form, he rolled his eyes at the cowardice this diminutive sibling sub-race Dhani showed. He couldn't believe that someone like her was actually accepted as one of Senescaaspia's Reimancers. "Jussst calm down and we'll be jussst fine!" He raised his voice a bit, if she didn't calm down now, he would skewer her with his spear and just leave her corpse for the Myrians to feast on.

"I-I-I'm not afraid! I'm p-perfectly fine!" Aka, the aforementioned quivering Viper, was in fact afraid, she was patrolling in the middle of a foreign jungle after all. Her pride didn't let her admit it though, but her denial was poorly executed as her little shaking body utterly betrayed her. The male Dhani warrior beside her could only raise his eyebrow and rolled his serpentine eyes, this weird Viper preferring to patrol in her human form was already strange enough for him, let alone her denial on something that was so obvious.

"Let'sss jussst get a move on..." He picked up his spear and slithered forward in his usual patrol route, looking if any Myrian scum wanted to sneak pass to Zinrah, he would gladly decapitate their heads and put it on a pike for all Myrians to see.

"Y-yes..." Aka needed some kind of weapon so she flexed her fingers and generated some reddish slimy res on her right palm, she then opened her palm downwards to gather some dirt and rocks, the earth material then combined into a rough, but sharp, shape of a dagger made of rocks. Aka gave it a few practice swings and finalized the shape by smoothing its sharp edges, not bothering with the aesthetics.

"Interesssting abiity, Viper. Reimancy, yesss? Sstill, isss that stone weapon asss strong asss my ssspear?" The warrior beside her was genuinely impressed by her magical ability, but magic could never beat good old physical prowess.

"I think it's sharp enough..." Aka located a tree and thrust her stone dagger into it, the dagger pierced the surface and got stuck there. "Yes, it's... uhn! Sharp!" Aka struggled as she tried to pull the dagger free from the tree's bark. The warrior beside her just shook his head and easily pulled the dagger, making Aka tumbled backwards.

"W-woah! Woah!" Aka controlled her balance by rolling backwards and canceled her fall, planting her feet firmly on the ground. Aka's acrobatics were very useful in these foreign land where lots of giant beings could toss her around like a ragdoll. Her bones would be broken in so many places if not for her natural speed and talent as a Viper.

"You are ssstill lacking in ssstrength, Viper. Hmmm... with that tiny body of yoursss, I bet you can't get far anyway... ssso jusst ssstay back if anything goesss wrong, yesss?"

"G-goes wrong?" Aka ignored the mocking - but true - statement earlier, her mind was getting worried at the 'wrong' word.

"Yesss, wrong, like Myriansss... or worssse, Myriansss on a tiger..."

"T-t-tiger?!"

"Yesss~ Myrian Tigersss, foul beassst. Now let'sss get a move on" Not allowing Aka to delay the patrol, he slithered forward, black scales stood firm against the night sky... followed by the bewildered and trembling Viper with her pale skin.

Important Note: Aka is currently pregnant (with eggs, being a Dhani) at the moment and as such, her belly is slightly bulging and she moves noticeably slower than usual.

The walk so far had been uneventful, with the warrior Dhani just patrolling like usual and Aka was quivering in nervousness. Aka wanted to ask so much questions but decided to postpone then until they got back to Zinrah, doing so now was really dangerous with Siku knows how many eyes possibly silently watching them.

After five more chimes of walking, the Dhani warrior put up his hands and told Aka to lay down on the ground. "W-wha-?" Aka wanted to ask on what was going on but his hand covered her mouth and prevented her from talking. His golden eyes bore down into her as if saying 'Get. Down. Now!' Aka meekly nodded and did as she said, the Constrictor followed suit, putting his spear on beside him, his serpentine tongue slithered in and out, catching scent from the air.

"Myriansss..." The warrior gestured for Aka to look at some distance in front of him, yes, she could hear footsteps, chattering in a foreign language, and a floating fire, most likely from a torch.

"M-m-myrians?"

"Yess... two of them..."

"W-what should we do?"

"Kill them, of courssse... back me up"

"B-bu-" Aka didn't have time to protest as the Dhani suddenly rose and picked up his spear, slithering quickly to ambush the unsuspecting Myrian duo, but it all went down when an arrow whizzed pass Aka's cheek, taking some of her hair with it. "A...a..."

"We are detected! For Sssikuuuuuuu!!" The warrior Dhani abandoned the ambush tactic and opted for a head-on charge, Aka could also hear their two foes shouting battle-cry in their own language. She just stood there in fear as her companion charged forward.

Then... she could see it, two bronze-skinned heavily-tattooed warriors, one male and one female, but both of them looked equally dangerous and able. The female was wielding two swords named Gladius and the male was wielding a bow, complete with its quiver and arrows. Her companion and the female Myrian charged to each other and was soon locked in melee combat, Aka couldn't believe her eyes... yes she had fought before but she was always accompanied by Galbern, not with a stranger. Fear started to grip at her heart when the male Myrian noticed her and... immediately notched his arrow, aiming at her.

The battle was on, Aka couldn't just stand there and let herself be skewered by arrows. She dropped down to the ground, barely dodging another arrow strike as it whizzed pass her head. Thankfully, it was nighttime and the vegetation provided some visual cover, if this was an open field, Aka would be dead chimes ago. Adrenaline pumped through her body, Aka gripped hard the stone dagger in her right hand and generated res on her right hand in the form of a ball.

Another arrow whizzed and Aka tried to dodge by rolling her body to the side, but this time, it managed to brush pass her right cheek, "Gahah! Aaah... n-no!" crimson began to form at her wound. She gritted her teeth and ignited the outer layer of the res ball, creating a fireball. Aka then stood up and faced her ranged opponent, as the Myrian was about to fire another arrow, Aka threw the fireball. The Myrian noticed it and dodged by diving to his right side, the fireball whizzed past him and hit a bush, igniting it into flames.

Aka didn't waste her time and began running forward while jumping around to the left and right to confuse her opponent. She could only do so many jumps before having to re-balance herself due to her limited ability though, as she did that, Aka flexed the fingers in her left hand and began creating another fireball, readying the stone dagger at her side, Aka kept closing the distance.

Another arrow sang through the air, this time it almost got her in the waist, Aka's small stature and agility was proving to be a tremendous help in the current situation. The Myrian archer was having a rather hard time aiming at this tiny Dhani, the Dhanis he faced were usually large and enormous Constrictors. Seeing as his opponent was getting too close for comfort, he threw his bow and brandished his gladius, shouting a battle cry in Myrian and charged at the Viper.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!" Ama shouted to offset her fears and she brought the flaming fireball forward by extending her left hand towards the Myrian, ready to be erupted to the front should it hit. The Myrian saw her coming and dodged to the side, he felt the hot temperature of the fireball and knew that one hit from it would most likely be fatal. He swung his gladius towards Aka, but he was a tad bit too late as Aka dodged to the side as well, he managed to tear some part of her dress though, leaving it torn at the right side of her left arm.

"Kuh..." Aka failed to rebalance herself and opted to just let herself fall backwards, as she did that, Aka aimed the fireball at the Myrian and launched it "Burn!!! Die die die die die!" She cursed the Myrian, her aim was a bit off and she knew the Myrian would try to dodge it again so she improvised. As the Myrian dodged to his left, Aka snapped her fingers and the res inside the fireball ignited fully, causing the fireball to explode in a violent manner. The Myrian screamed in pain as his left side of body was singed by the heat. He was wounded, but not down yet, he roared in anger and charged after Aka again, gladius raised high in the air.

"Wawawawa!" Aka needed to think fast, she inhaled, manipulated her djed, and hold her breath as something formed in her mouth. As the Myrian came and swung his Gladius at Aka's laying form, she raised her stone dagger and barely parried the blow, the dagger immediately flew from her hand and stabbed the ground to her right. The Myrian quickly continued with another blow but... "Phooey!" Aka spitted the thing that was forming in her mouth, it was her Res in the shape of the familiar reddish slime. The Myrian roared in annoyance as his vision was blocked and closed his eyes out of instinct, he didn't got the chance to clean the slime... not when Aka snapped her fingers and ignited the res, burning his face.

"Gaaaah! Waaaaaah!" The Myrian was wracked with an intense amount of pain, Aka didn't waste any time to get up, created a small amount of res in her right hand to pull her stone dagger back to her. Aka then injected more Res into the dagger, proceeded by willing the res inside, turning the dagger's blade until the stone started to glow piping hot red.

"Heh..." Aka faced the burning Myrian, who was still patting his face in a futile attempt to extinguish the fire "Die, scum!" Aka pointed her heating dagger to his chest and charged at him, stabbing his sternum, and finally willing the res to turn the dagger into lava, and cooked his torso with the lava. She immediately jumped back away and watched her handiwork, the fiery liquid destroyed the Myrian's internal organs and his face lost all the skin and some of the muscles, leaving his melting eyes fully visible. He dropped dead on the ground, another sacrifice for Siku.

"U...urk!" Aka suddenly held her mouth and puked, horrified at she had just done. The state of the Myrian's corpse no longer resembled a Myrian, with skeletal face, melting eyes, and crisped torso. "Ha... ha... be strong.. be strong.." She inhaled and exhaled, but her growing calmness was destroyed when she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Hyaaaaah?!" She screamed and turned around to find... the previous warrior Dhani, a victorius grin on his face, bloodied spear on his right hand, and... the severed head of the female Myrian clutched in his left arm.

"Ssso, sssmall fry?" The Dhani eyed the burning Myrian corpse "you won, I sssee, not bad, not bad! Sssahahahaha! See this?" He showed Aka his 'trophy' " I won as well!"

"Y...yeah..." Aka cringed and edged away from the Dhani, no matter how 'glorious' it may looked, carrying the severed head of your enemies was not her cup of tea.

"I think we are done for today, let'sss go back! I want to ssshow thisss to everyone! Sssahahahaha!" The Dhani laughed and began slithering back to Zinrah, severed head in tow.

"......." Aka could just keep silent and obediently followed him. The events that happened that day would forever be branded on her mind... just like the eye-shaped mark on both of her palms.

Additional Notes :
This was a nice little fight sequence! I still think you are skimping a little on the reimancy details, but the description of the fire spit was lovely, and Aka's antics are always just as amusing as interesting. I'm interested to see if she eventually enjoys killing Myrians or always holds a little bit of the emotions she showed in this thread.


Yes, I Bite.
