Inescapable death

(Formerly Oblivion, until Apex turned up and I found out that they were writing something with the same name in shadowmane)

Storm The Second ran through the darkened jungle, a whole swarm of onyx were flying behind him, screaming and snapping their jaws.

With a quick turn and hop into a hollow log, he lost the bats, before doubling back and taking one from behind, he pinned it down and fed it some meat he'd gotten from a dodo flock earlier, after some feeding, he released the onyc, and it did an aerial loop de loop before landing again, Storm II climbed onto the bat's furry back, blessing his small size.

He flapped up into the night.

Cinder hid in the jungle under a large rock, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of onyc flapping through the night sky.

Looking at the swarms, he could swear he saw a lone onyc with a silhouette on it's back, but a moment later it was gone.

Before Cinder could put further thought into the bat rider, the ground in front of him erupted up, revealing a huge head attached to a slim, long neck, the head was indescribably strange, it was shaped like a dilo's, but with about six pairs of frills layered behind each other, it had the teeth of a megalodon, with added mammoth tusks, no eyes, and a lower jaw that was oddly crooked downwards at the end.

The monster screeched, and from inside it's mouth slithered an eye on a long muscular stalk, the eyeball locked onto Cinder, flashing bright neon pink, the monkey was instantaneously killed by the flash, and the creature slithered a twhiplike tentacle up from the ground and carefully inserted it into his spine, the dead Cinder's corpse came to life, it shambled over to the main body, it's movements jerky, like a marionette, the head carefully bit off it's own tentacle, leaving it lodged inside the controlled monkey.

The atrocious monstrosity and the undead monkey went in different directions, disappearing into the night (or in the monster's case, the ground).
