Octhuzzid

The multi-tonal screech of the nightmare creature pierced the eardrums of Ginder. With a panicked expression, you took in the sheer terror in which this creature from taking. The many wings of this creature shimmered like oil on water, its long neck was meaty and decorated with veins that pulsated with each movement. It didn't fly so much as swim in the sky. Ginder had to move, he wanted to move more than anything but this creature was unlike anything he had ever seen. Closer now he looked up at its body from below, a tunnel of spiraling teach ended with a beak at the back. Four yellow eyes sat above the beak, all of them looked on Ginder. Ginder's survival instinct shouting at him to move... but he couldn't. He was paralyzed with fear. A warm trickle beaded onto his shoulder... the blood from his ears. The creature was descending on him now, at least, his last thought was... "At least I will die in the shade." - Ginder's death, Banished to the grey wastes for not standing and fighting after a head of Kronkeva sprouted.
