Welcome to Gaia! ::

Veo caught site of a cephalos and dove down in that direction. He slowed down a bit when he got close to the ground, and then he landed and skidded on the sand. Ryuumei jumped off and realized that it was really cold. He drank a hot drink then started staring around for a fin poking out of the sand. He spotted one and charged at it without his gunlance out. He got a hold of it and motioned for Veo to bite it. Veo ran over and bit the fin. A cephalos jumped out of the sand, sending Ryuumei rolling on the ground. He laughed about it then he whipped his gunlance out and charged again. When he got close enough the cephalos tail whipped him across the face. Ryuumei got knocked down, but he got up as quick as he was knocked down. He shoved his gunlance into its underbelly couple of times. It winced in pain, but that was it. It then literally took a bite out of his shield arm. He screamed in pain, "YOU b***h!" He shoved his gunlance into its neck and shot it a couple of times. Its head was dangling by a muscle strand. Veo took the liberty of snapping that strand with his teeth. The body of the cephalos fell over and made a loud thud. Ryuumei dug into its stomach area with his carving knife to find the liver, and did so. He collected a fin and tail from it, and a few scales. They left the body lying there and found another fin poking out of the sand. He took the carving knife and sliced the fin. The cephalos shot out of the sand and turned around at Ryuumei. It raised its head and then thrusted its head downward and shot a blast of sand at him. Ryuumei was stinging in places he didn't know was possible. He spat out a bunch of sand in his mouth and watched as Veo shot a fire ball and exploded on impact on the cephalos. The cephalos was knocked down, but it got back up quickly. Ryuumei shot it and then ran up and stabbed it in between the eyes. Veo tail whipped it legs to knock it down with gunlance still between the eyes. The cephalos as a last resort shot another sand blast at Ryuumei and at the same time tail whipped Veo across the face. The blast broke two of Ryuumei's ribs and fractured another. Ryuumei bent over trying to put direct pressure on the broken ribs. Veo walked up and bit the head of the cephalos off and threw it across the field. Ryuumei slowly got back up, and reached into his backpack and pulled out a potion to drink it. He drank it and felt the wounds heal a bit. He drank the other two and felt them almost heal completely. He walked over to the corpse and carved out the liver. Then he collected two fins, a tail, and a few scales from it. While he was there he decided to mine a little bit. He walked over to a crack on a wall and fired off a few shots. a bunch of iron ore and mechalite ore rolled out of it. He collected all of them and put them in his pouch. He hopped back on Veo and the flew back to the gathering hall.
