Boss Battle take 2

the Rift

He swiped again at the tree, a deep rumble growing through the center of his chest and seeping out from the open circular hole that was his mouth. It was only when hooves met the top of his head, on the part where his spikes that lined his head and back had just begun their small thorn-like growth, that he shrunk away from her with another earth shattering roar that seemed to echo the caverns and rustle the leaves of the bushes around them. There was a throbbing, blinding pain on the back of his head that he could barely make out what she said to him.

She was above him, slowly moving away, and he reached up with those massive claws, aiming a swipe at her foot. So she wouldn’t go down without a fight, he didn’t mind. He’d fight and he’d win, just as he usually did. Then he’d be able to enjoy the taste of her flesh once more. His tail behind him stretched across the ground, aiming itself to spring up much like a kangaroo to use for leverage as he angled himself up once again, swiping and angling those sharp pointed teeth at another part of her body – the once slow circular motion now growing faster and faster, a blur in the dark.

This creature could fly, and it made him want to devour her even more – if not for the fact that he remained here where the elements couldn’t hurt his body, but for the fact that she could leave and see the world while he lay in wait for unfortunate souls. He felt soft beneath his skin for the first time in years, a heaviness that grew and grew before the blinding rage shrunk it back into the small caverns of his dark heart. He would fight her, and he would win.

@Otem I left it open if you wanted him to hit or bite her, doesn't matter to me. I'll adjust accordingly in the next post ;D
