《The life of a little orphan tortoise》Chapter 7: Trouble in the midst
Advertisement
Reya was originally 3 inches (7.36 cm) in length and 2 (5.08 cm) in height, born with a stunted growth and much smaller body frame than others, due to the lack of nutrition incurred from diets, reducing her growth rate in development.
Monsters in the wild grow indifferently when compared to humans, who has no natural predators to kill off and starve their population down. Therefore they have plenty of time and much longer periods for growth, when compared to incompetent monsters literally anything could possibly kill them.
Adventurers who are hired to slay and kill monsters. Predators that stands on the top of the food chain or higher hierarchy, prey on the weak and latter.
So monsters have a much higher and faster growth rate than the people of the races. A term which designates the clear boundaries of the sentient humanoid beings that shows much resemblance to humans, away from the mere classification of an animal or monster.
The baby tortoises all share a much similar appearance. With the most distinct features, being the variation of color depths and shade of their skin and shell.
Each time a baby tortoises levels up, they would roughly increase a 1cm in height and length. Not accounting for the accumulation of nutritions a mass from their diets, which helps in strengthening and building the layers of the foundation to their shell, and increase body growth.
Reya runs up to Shao, with clear worry seen on her petite face, as tears could be seen dripping down from her teary eyes.
The incident that she witness occurred right before her very eyes. The sight of her dear older brother Shao, who was the only one that took good care of her. Not seeing the helpless sight of a younger sister as a mere nuisance. Instead, they would help and care for each other like family.

Shao warmly embraced the crying figure of Reya, his little sister running into his arms, as his large webbed feet almost entirely covered the size of Reya's entire body. That is to show how big of a difference in size and the disparity of the growth in each of her sibling. And one thing for sure is that Shao is not the biggest one within the group.
Kaan the leader of the troublemaker group, consisting of himself and the three triplets. He is the biggest in terms of size and strength in comparison to Shao, standing on four feet with a body length of 10 inches (25.4 cm) and 8 (20.32 cm) inches in height. Roughly almost tripling the size of Reya's current size right now.
"Let us head back home, don't you think."
Reya then looks up at Shao from underneath his webbed feet. Nodding her head up and down in approval, as they slowly made their journey back to the nest.
"Uuummm..."
Meanwhile, amidst what was going on with Reya and Shao, Kaan and his posse of brothers were going out to hunt. They were hunting prey one after the other consecutively, disregard for their own safety in the process, by only relying heavily on their numbers to outmatch and outnumbered their opponent.
However, this time they encountered a major setback. Having confronted a foe too powerful to be messed with, even with their large numbers as an advantage. They have met their match.
The giant 20 inches (50.8 cm) large Aqua Pistol Lobster raises its disproportionate large stone claw upwards, pointing it towards the direction of the triplets. Unlike most crabs or lobsters, this claw does not have the typical pincer at the end. Rather, it has a pistol-like gun feature which is made up of two points.

A back joint that allows the semi-hammer part to move backward into a right angle position. When it is released, it snaps into the other parts of the claw, emitting an enormously powerful wave, added with the urine released nozzles in between their claws. It becomes an overly powerful dispensible wave of bubble pee bullet, capable of stunning larger prey and breaking shells.
The pee bullet flew, cutting across the vast air within seconds, landing straight in the face of one of the brothers. Ron was the unlucky one that got hit, sending him into a slightly dazed state, which momentarily leaves him wide open for a secondary attack.
The Aqua Pistol Lobster then rapidly charges in with its large physique, several times bigger than the three brothers, even outweighing Kaan in size and length as well. Kaan then charges straight forwards in a confrontation with the Aqua Pistol Lobster in a desperate attempt to diverged its attention for the immobilize lil' brother of his.
Kaan was sent flying, being swept to the side within seconds, using its large massive stone claw as a weapon to whack Kaan to the side.
The Aqua Pistol Lobster then continues its assault, heading towards the direction of the helpless three lil' brothers. It then raised its massive claw once again, using its sheer size and strength difference as an advantage, it then brings forth its large claw down like a hammer, hitting the dazed lil' Ron.
He continues to repeatedly hit on the lone baby tortoise with its massive claw, hammering down at it like it was a nail in the wall. Ron let out a miserable cry of help, as he is in great pain from being crush and hammered down by the large Aqua Pistol Lobster.
This must be the karma they incurred for bullying their little sis Reya into the corners. Until the point of breaking down and crying indefinitely with tears in their eyes.
The rest of the brothers; Dein, Kai, and Kaan watches it all unfold right before their eyes, hopeless and unable to do anything. Kaan charges forwards like a mad bull, repeatedly ramming his head against the side of the Aqua Pistol Lobster.
Little to no effect, he continued his ramming attack till no ends, damaging his body to save his dear brother's life.
One of the brothers Kai then runs away in fright like the coward he is.

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)

Winter Fire [ Book 1 ] ✔
On the second jump, Claire's bad leg gave way and she felt herself tumbling forward. A cry of surprise escaped her and Claire was certain she was about to topple off the side of the train. Alek, however, moved quickly, catching her mid-fall and keeping her upright, and alive. Claire lifted her eyes to meet his which were wide with alarm. The expression was fleeting, lasting for only a moment before it was replaced by a frown. "You could have fallen," he said pointedly."I know," Claire breathed, finding her thoughts drifting to the strong arm wrapped around her waist. A flush rose to her cheeks and she was grateful for the biting wind that masked her reaction. "Thank you.""You need to be more careful," he continued, his eyes locked on hers, bright and haunting in the silver glow of the moon overhead."I will," Claire assured him, her heart skipping in her chest.
