I continued my mad dash towards the squirrel. I could see the fear in his eyes. ‘I shall eat you!’ The squirrel quickly looked for the tree it had just fallen out of. It started racing towards the great oak with mad speed, well compared to my stubby little legs. It was fast. ‘Damn he’ll get away! This thing… this thing shall die.’ And a stream of lightning blasted out of my face. It was warm but not burning. It was a pleasant sensation and the feeling ended as soon as it started. I looked up towards where the squirrel had been. There was a slight burn mark on the tree and at the bottom of the tree was a squirrel on its back twitching madly as if it was still trying to climb the tree but his tiny little paws found no hold on the great oak tree only open air filled his little paws. Baz-Ra-Zul approached the squirming squirrel cautiously as if even the slightest sound would release it from its electrified state. As I approached the squirrel a warm scent filled my nostrils. It smelled like cooked meat. why I knew this I had no clue. I could hear my stomach growling so I decided to indulge it. The squirrel had a stringy taste and it was hairy so not a great first, sorry, second meal but it filled me up so I was happy. My shins were sore from tripping all the time, I felt as though sleeping in the open would be a bad idea. so I finally shall listen to my instincts. But where to sleep? I started to look around but I honestly had no idea what I was looking for exactly. I gave up and decided to try and climb a tree. Lets just say there were a few pathetic minutes of me trying to climb but I always ending up on my ass. Boy was I sore but I finally figured out my wings could be used to climb, sort of. I got up the tree, but by no means was it graceful. I sat atop a branch, the sun finally starting its long rise to its summit and I slowly fell asleep.

The rays of light were being replaced by shadow and I slowly lifted myself off the branch but somewhere in this whole process I seemed to have forgotten where I was sleeping because when I attempted a morning stretch I lost my balance, and no mad wing flapping was going to save me. I tumbled down towards the earth I landed with a crunch on top the pile of bones that I had left over from the squirrel. It did very little to aid my fall. I felt sore and bruised but nothing more ‘WHY DO I KNOW ALL THIS STUFF?!’ There was no one to answer my question so I simply started to wander on the forest floor. I walked without a care in the world. I’m sure I sounded like a bunch of ogres stomping through the forest. Nothing seemed to want to bother with me so I continued to sound like a giant. Of course I paid dearly for that. There was a massive snake waiting for me. The thing must have been 10 meters long that is too fucking long for a snake. Wait maybe I can just zap it like that squirrel.

“Hisss.”

“Zapp.'' The snake just looked at me as if I was tickling it. I was completely fucked. So i did the next best thing. Run! Run as fast as these stubby little legs can take me. I could hear it chasing me. I don't even think it was trying to catch me I was being played with again… at least this time it was something worth being scared about. There it was, a small hole even I would have trouble fitting in; well… not much else I can do and of course he noticed the hole as well. What can I do? What can I do? Well here goes nothing. As it lunges at me I turn and fire off a small zap that hit him in the throat. I could see the sparks flash down his entire mouth and it immediately snapped shut. His head was still about to crash down on me! I leapt up just to try and avoid his head. Its head came crashing down but it only got a face full of dirt. Now was my chance I could tell the snake was getting back up, and it was… Extremely pissed! If I didn’t make it I was dead meat. I managed to close the gap from ten meters to only around five however it was still too far. I had a feeling he was finally ready to strike at me again. I don't think the same trick will work twice. Now I’m really fucked. I stayed still. Aww shit. It's gonna spit at me! I guess the same trick will work twice. Wait what is my range there are 7 or so meters between us. Will it even affect him? Well I won’t know unless I try. His mouth opens again and I release the energy stored inside me. Damn. He was expecting that. As soon as I turned around he shut his mouth and my attack basically bounced off his scales and then he fired his icky green acid and it flys true. It burned through my scales but they provided enough protection for me to get to the hole. I started squirming to try and squeeze in and it was fast approaching. I only had about two seconds before it crossed the ten meters mark, and would end my pitiful life. Oh my god did that fucking acid hurt. It barely registered in my mind with all the adrenaline pumping through me. I finally managed to squeeze through but my tail got nipped. There was barely any room but I managed to push myself forward there was no room to turn around ; I could only go forwards. The few scales left were peeling from the acid and rubbing against the tunnel. My pain perception was starting to kick in. My mind started to scream at me. The pain was overwhelming. I felt my conscience fading. I had to go further. Further from that thing, and maybe death would be waiting on the other end of this tunnel.
