Advancing Ambitions [Ezekiel]

He peered down upon her as she spoke, examining her with crimson eyes spiked with yellow. He found similarities between them despite their difference in species; both were behemoths for their type and witty, as it seemed. Perhaps Ezekiel held no crown over a variety of others (in fact, he was nearly certain that he was the only one of his species present in the lands), but instead, he crowned the food chain in his own way. A wary creature, the brute hardly ever wandered within snapping range of a potential enemy, which removed wolves from above him in the food chain. Besides, a creature that wished feathers over fat was a fool in the first place and would undoubtedly be eliminated from the ranks of the living within no time. With next to no natural predators and no competition for his main food source, Ezekiel crowned the skies in his ways.



"Ah, but the bones!

but the ever-juicy marrow!

I'm sure with some work

wolf teeth it will not harrow!



Oh, and healthy, so healthy!

Look at my sheen!

Jam-packed with everything--

off it pups you could wean!



He flaunted a wing for observation, displaying the crimson of the inside of his wings and the slight shine of the obsidian on its outward side. Speech of Tortuga met his ears and he laughed, harsh and dry, beak clacking with mischief and glee. He shifted upon the thick limb he was resting upon, vigorously shaking his head to ruffle his feathers and crest.



"Mm, yess, yes,

that idiot group!

So low does their intelligence

evermore begin to stoop!



Mutiny in their ranks

I tried to instill

with perfect evidence--

oh, what a thrill!



But they are mindless, brainwashed--

ridiculous dolts!

Logic wouldn't find them

if it was the goal of their cult!



His irritation was show through increasingly bitter words and through the speedy tempo that coursed through his lyrics. The pack had been a ridiculous, idiot bunch that didn't even stop to question what could have, for all they knew, been true! Only a couple had even begun to look confused and betrayed but the rest had been blind with what Ezekiel thought was stupidly-placed trust.
