Spooky Scary Skeletons

Great, now Kanja was getting all cocky. She skittered and danced with he gator for a moment while Ashmedai regained his composure.

"Don't come crying to me when your body seizes up from all the poison you're ingesting!"

Ugh. She wouldn't listen to him.

He debated for a solid moment whether or not he could walk away and leave Kanja to best this thing on her own. On one paw, she may die and that would suck because Ash actually LIKED hanging around her. On the other paw, she might live which was honestly worse because she would never stop teasing him about this for as long as they lived.

Grunting, Ashmedai hauled his ass into gear. The gator was facing directly away from him now and Ashmedai bet he could get a good handle on that tail- definitely one of the biggest threats. He also bet it was gonna end up with him getting flung comically into the air.

He just hoped he'd land in the water.

Ashmedai kicked off the ground and sprung up. The gator's head turned sharply with an audible crackling noise.

Okay, that was kind of cool.

Also kind of gross.

Ash landed near the base of the creature's tail. As soon as he landed, he wrapped his paws in a big bear hug. Maybe he could saw his way through the tail with his teeth. The creature immediately started squirming and twisting, unable to completely bend to bite Ash.

As it moved, Ash could feel its skin and muscle rotating freely against each other underneath him. Well, time to get tearing.

Ashmedai latched on for dear life and began to gnaw at the skin and muscle, sloughing it off between gasps of breath.
