BABOOM!

The area where the bone dragon landed exploded! Trees and dirt went everywhere in the air. Some poor creatures that didnt manage to get away in time got ripped to shreds by the flying debris. A large dustcloud rose above the remaining trees in the area.

When the dustcloud finally fell, the bone dragon had its upper body stuck inside the soil. The ground around it was cracked open with soil still falling into them. The area was also littered with different corpses. Pieces of animals, monsters and plants were spread all over the place too. The bone dragon tried to pull its head out of the ground, but struggled for a while before its head popped out. The soil fell out of its eyesockets and some rocks were stuck in the spaces between its teeth. With a quick shake, the bone dragon shook the dirt and rocks off its head.

It looked to the left and it looked to the right, but it couldnt see Vita. The fire in its eyes turned to a different hue of purple as it looked around once more.

But then it saw something from the corner of its eye. It quickly looked over, worried that its enemy was still alive, but there was nothing there except for a puddle of gore. The bone dragon turned its head slowly, still remaining vigilant in case Vita had survived. It at least needed proof of Vitas death to feel at ease.

As the dragon looked in another direction, a eye covered in blood and other liquids seemed to move a tiny bit. The puddle then quietly, but with suprising speed, slithered across the ground towads the goop littering the area. It left the faintest of marks behind when it moved and a small white pearl could be seen inside of it when the sun hit it just right. When it slithered over the goop like some fucked up snail, it also quickly absorbed it.

The dragon turned its gaze around the area, but the puddle stopped moving when the bone dragon looked in its direction. Even the eyeball inside of the puddle looked in a random direction when the bone dragon looked at it.

The bone dragon somehow squinted its eyes before it turned its head once more to survey its surroundings.

The puddle was still busy collecting goop and meat. Even a couple of branches and tufts of grass were absorbed as well. The dragon slowly moved its burning eyes towards the puddle. It pretended to watch in another direction while keeping its eyes on the puddle. It saw the puddle absord a large amount of different things, even saw it absord a whole tree.

Feeling that it had seen enough, the bone dragon shot out a small ball of purple fire at it. But the puddle suprisingly enough shot out a glob that hit the fire. The fire and the glob of acid hit in the air and countered each other. The suprise in the bone dragons eyes at it saw the puddle suddenly grew a pair of legs. It now sprinted towards the corpses and ate them up.

The dragon quickly regained its senses and spat out flames. But it somehow managed to jump over the fire. One of its legs caught on fire, but the part of the leg that caught fire simply fell off and grew out again. The bone dragon wasnt too suprised, but it was unusual to see. It continued to spew fire at the odd creature, but it moved with such speed that only small fires managed to touch it.

As this continued on, an ominous feeling slowly krept over the dragon as it saw the running puddle growing larger and larger as it kept absorbing the surrounding fauna and flora. Somehow, it had managed to reach the bone dragon up to its neck.

Then it suddenly stopped.

The dragon didnt give it any chances, as it tried once more to blast it with fire. Just as the fire hit it, a massive amount of steam spread to around the area. The steam blocked the bone dragons view of its surroundings, but it didnt block its magical hearing. It heard some horrendous sounds.

Bones snapping. Muscles tearing. Some weirdly thick bubbling sound, as if someone was trying to scream underneath a thick layer of tar. Not only that, to the bone dragons suprise, the mist was acidic!

The bone dragon launched itself into the air to avoid the mist and to get a proper look at the situation. It flapped its wings to stay in the air and with each great movement, waves of mist would form under the air pressure created. (Just imagine a helicopter above the ocean and you will get a better image of what this would look like).'

As it was stationary in the air, it saw something moving in the mist. Then, further away, something moved again, but further away from the last movement. As time went by, the movement became more and more frequent. Finally the bone dragon had enough and decided to send some more fire out. But just as it was going to do this, something large started to rise underneath the mist.

It grew out in a similar way like how a tree would grow out of the soil, but it was just wrong. The tree grew in the shape of a thumb or like a pillar with a rounded tip. It lacked any branches at the top, but these grew in random spots under the tip. Smaller tentacles poked out from the mist, shaking and wiggling in the air.

But the entire thing was made out of mixture of flesh, wood and pieces of exoskeleton. Its surface was covered with different pieces of different animal. A direwolfs head over there and a ants mandibles over there. Its limbs were long and covered with different spikes that were dripping with acids and pus. The tips of these limbs were even worse, as the spikes formed into fake hands giving it massive claws.

As it moved its body above the mist, the top suddenly split open with a crack. A massive maw opened up, with and endless ocean of teeth and other sharp objects. It let out a deafening roar so loud that one could see the air ripple.
