Prompt 21: Crunch
( @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast
I did not avoid gore for this one at all. Rated M for violence. )
-WoL-
The great wyrm peered down at Okhi with disdain, as his fangs sank into her.
Can't shoot a bow one-armed, she thought dazedly, the realization barely piercing her haze of pain and terror. Her eyes flicked toward Daoko.
The Auri woman knelt, winded, as Min'to worked to staunch the worst of her bleeding.
Okay, then. Okay.
She smiled, grimly, at the crunch of bone from her left shoulder, drawing an arrow from her quiver with her right hand.
Take you with me, she thought, digging the arrow between his scales like a dagger.
His pained roar was satisfying, at least.
-Non!WoL-
The crunch was sickening as it was shocking.
How had it come to this?
Right, proving herself worthy. Ishgard makes war on dragons: fight the dragons, they'll find a use for you.
So she did.
The little one hadn't put up much of a fight.
Its scream of pain left her dazed with its emotions, though, her "gift" leaving her blind and deaf, until massive jaws ripped her away from the youngling, sending her flying through the air.
This was probably the end for Okhi: face down in the snow, dying for a cause she didn't even believe in.
Fuck.
