《Story of Vita》The Forest King / Chapter 40
Advertisement
A long tail emerged from the white ball. A long bone tail to be more correct. It continued to grow until it pushed over multiple trees. Two massive bone legs shook the earth when they landed, with raptor like claws for nails. The legs didnt seem to belong to a bipedal creature like a human, but like the legs of a beast. Then two more legs, forelimbs most likely, came out. Just a tiny bit smaller, but with massive claws. They pierced into the ground, as if it was made out of boiled fat.
Then, as Vita was just about ready to run away, two massive wings slowly opened up. They reached up to the air before swinging down. Despite the lack of sking between the fingers of the wings, they still generated winds strong enough to knock Vita to the ground. Hard.
The back legs moved as the spine pushed them out. A massive ribcage and then the rest of the spine. Finally, the ball of white stopped creating a body. The white ball finally stopped spinning, slowly forming into a skull.
With two massive horns, looking just as good as weapons and as a majestic crown. Unlike the rest of its body that was a bony white, the teeth were as white as clean marble. And just as terrifying as if they belonged to the jurassic era.
Holy shit. Isnt that a dragon!? Four limbs for the ground, two wings, a tail and a head with horns. It is a dragon! Or a bone dragon, but that doesnt matter. What does matter is that it isnt looking my way. Lets just casually walk away.
*Crunch*
Oh no.
Vita managed to step on the only dry branch in the vicinity, gaining the dragons attention. First the skull moved to look where Vita stood, then purple glowing flames burst out from its eyesockets. It let out a silent roar before pouncing at Vita. It reached out with its front claws, attempting to hold Vita in its massive claws. It was just slow enough for Vita to jump away from it. The ground where the claw landed exploded with dirt, sending it everywhere. Vita didnt get the chance to land on the ground before the dragon leaned forward and bit down.

There goes Vitas left arm, crushed underneath the massive teeth of the dragon. This would easily send any other creature into shock, but this was Vita getting bitten.
Not caring about the loss of an arm, Vita spat a glob of vile acids and poisons at the bone dragons forehead. The acid didnt seem to do any proper damage to the massive beast, but it threw Vita away. Vita went flying through some trees for the second time. Multiple bones broke on the flight, spines and ribs and some more. Even the exoskeleton broke on a couple of spaces. Vita finally stopped and rolled on the ground a couple of times. Vita kept an eye in the direction of where the dragon was, only to see it appaer in the air.
It flew high above the trees. It somehow managed to fly without any proper wings, only bones. The purple fire in its eyes was also in its chest. The purple fire grew bigger and bigger until it moved upwards towards its mouth. As if it still had a throat.
The fire peaked through its teeth before going down like a upside down volcano. Vita knew just from the reaction from all the other creatures in the area that the purple fire was no good. If even the bugs crawling on the trees were running, then the fire was something to run away from.
The fire crashed down into the forest floor with a roar. It set everything on fire, as the screams of different animals could be heard. When the dragon saw Vita running underneath the trees, it let out another silent roar before chasing after Vita with more fire.
The fires behind Vita got closer and closer. Stopping now would mean getting hit by the fire. Just as the fire was about to hit, it stopped. Maybe it has ran out of gass, Vita thought. But turning around showed something else.

There it was, mouth wide, going down like a swooping owl catching a mouse. But this time, Vita was prepared. With a leap rivaling the leap of a snow leopard, Vita flew over the bone dragons still burning maw. Its teeth snapped shut with enough force to push the air out, creating a popping noise like that of a crocodile times a hundred. The bone dragon tried to hit Vita in the air with its horns. To its suprise, Vita didnt go flying, but instead stuck to its horns instead. It swung its head around trying to get Vita off, but Vita clutched onto its horns with suprising endurance.
It tried to scratch Vita off with its claws, but Vita moved around like eye floaters in your eyes that show up sometimes. It let out a quiet roar of frustration before taking to the sky again. It roared, it swung its head, it tried to do air acrobatics. Everything it tried didnt work.
Hahaha! Now I know why people back at earth loved playing games where you fought giant creatures, because this is fun! Ha, take some urine in the face, dragon! Would you like to have some shit smeared on your face too!? Maybe a moustache made out of shit!
In its frustration, the dragon decided to do something. Destructive. It looked around for Vita and when it saw that Vita was still on its head, it took a dive. It flew straight down towards the earth with Vita at the front like some sick statue at the front of a pirates ship. The air around them started to bend, and Vita could feel the heat starting to build up as the ground got closer and closer to view.
Brace for impact! We are going down. Who is piloting this stupid thing!
