The Red Pike

The Wyvern King, chapter 7

I made sure everyone was on high guard, so that nothing happens again like what happened with those humans. We decided to let Goliath go for now, and explore this place, but later we would catch him again and make him fight. I decided to go explore, see where everyone was. I saw a death worm moving through the sand, so I went down to speak to him. The death worm came up, looking hungry. The death worm realized who I was, and knew what was going to happen.

“Have you found any humans?” I asked.

“I was going to eat two humans, but a kaprosuchus defended them. I decided to leave, and find different prey.” He replied.

“Very well then.” I said, and then flew off. Eventually, I found a huge stone castle. The humans lived here, and this where some of our wyverns were trapped, but I saw no turrets. How strange, if many people could make something like this, why couldn’t they make turrets? I saw a ballista being aimed at me, so I shot glob of poison at the person and flew off. I thought of the other the guardians of this place, the manticore and the webbed mistress, which was just a huge tarantula underground who slayed anybody who challenged her. I then questioned, did they make a clone of me to forever be respawned in my arena? If so, maybe I wouldn’t die. And I thought of the element they had dropped, and I realized something. Had the mutated rex thing been mutated from element? If element granted such power, maybe I could consume it, grow stronger and dominate this place. But alas, that may never happen. I flew back to my trench, wondering what to do next.
