...a tapir! A big fat tapir! Aka's slitted eyes went wide in excitement and hunger. Through her senses, she noticed that she was downwind, good. She peeked from behind the bush, using her heat vision to pinpoint her strike, flexed her tails, and strik-...
*WHOOP WHOOP!*
If not for that heavy flapping sound, Aka would have launched herself by now, but she stopped herself. The strange heavy sound like something enormous was flapping made her jumped in surprised fear. She instinctively looked to the sky to find. A
large heat signature of a bird-like
creature. No, it wasn't a bird, it was a monster! It was too big to be a bird.
Aka's body shuddered in awe, the bird was fearsome and beautiful to behold. It had a eerily glowing silver-white body, like a mini moon flying above. The red eyes and red accent on its tails only accentuated its aura of authority as a bird of prey, its crest like a crown, a ruler of the jungle sky. A feather dropped from its body and fell down near Aka... even when separated from the owner, it still glowed white under Leth's light. It didn't take a genius to know that this creature was definitely magical. Aka looked up again to find some black parts on its body. They were its feet and razor-sharp talons, this bird was basically a giant glowing eagle.
To make matters worse, it didn't fly pass her, no, it circled around the area. Aka didn't know whether it viewed her or the tapir as snacks, maybe both.
No... no no no no! Aka panicked, she slowly backed away from the bush. She
must take shelter, from her experience, some eagle eat snakes and that creature was a giant eagle. She slithered away from the bush, heading to the nearest, largest, shelter she could find, the ruins carved into the rocky wall.
"Faster.. faster..." *WOOOSH!!*
"Waaaaaaah!" She felt the air around her turned sharp as the bird swooped down, extended its talons and...
Grabbed the poor tapir, Aka looked back as it came landing to the ground, its talons piercing the tapir's flesh.
O-okay! Y-you got your meal! G-get away! But the bird thought otherwise, its glowing body never leave Aka's sight, it decided to stay there and began eating its prey, occasionally looking around to see if any thieves would dare to approach its majestic presence.
"*Gulp*..." Aka swallowed a lump, it was only a matter of time until she was found, the bird seemed to have excellent vision, like an owl. Aka noticed she was in her biggest, widest form. She needed to change and fast! Unfortunately, Siku didn't bless her children with Kelvic-like transformations. She prayed for the bird to not notice the thirty ticks needed for her to become a snake. That prayer was immediately shot down when she found the bird's beautiful red eyes facing off with her scarlets.
This... is bad.
