Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was two nights after the disagreement with the birds, which he had learned were called Zore. His scalp had begun to heal but it itched like mad. He had been sound asleep when it felt like an earthquake hit. He was jostled and rolledm his sailscales added their confused cries to his own as they too were rolled off him, their preferred sleeping place. What was going on? He scrambled away, making sure he didn't squish Iniu or Norcrest. An odd creature with a huge head seemed to be hunting in his bedcovers for food. Of all the rude things, he tried to shoo it away but ended up only shoving it with his foot out the tent. An effort which sadly didn't last long at all. The creature bullied its way back in. He grabbed for his whip but couldn't snap it properly within the confines of the tent. Finally he wrapped his arms under its belly and rolled so that its back was too his front, legs effectively removed from the ground. He wiggled himself and the creature out of the tent where others lifted it for him so he could get up, he packed the creature out into the desert far away from the camp and his bed. That done he sprinted home and hoped it would not follow. Following a hunch he shook out his bed and revealed a fat scorpion, which could have stung him. That was why the thing called an Impa apparently, had "attacked" him. Iniu had developed a taste and tact for the creatures. He watched as she bit off the tail and spat it out, then proceeded to eat the scorpion. Gingerly he got back into bed, hoping he would not have anymore visitors until morning.
