The Unraveling - It Rises

Nelu struck true, the sharp stone piercing the creatures underbelly only to release a grotesque ooze, that rolled from the wound, and along the stone. Nelu quickly dropped it and scrambled back to avoid getting the strange fluid in his mouth, though in doing so he accidentally placed weight on his injured paw causing him to yelp. This was bad, this was definitely bad but it was encouraging to see the damage. More mucosal like fluid was rolling down the worms body from wounds higher up. Spying a piece of drift wood that had been fractured by the falling rocks he grabbed it in his teeth. Steadying himself, Nelu forced his mind to think past the pain. Kicking off from the sand on his three legs he whipped his head to the side, the drift wood between his teeth aiming once more for the worm's underbelly. He would just continue to poke as many holes in this beast as he could til it finally fell. Then he could tend to his pain.
