Nemesis

Monoceros, at times, was a tempest of energy. The whirlwind above screamed at all hours, demanding reverence and fear-- but at other times, there was quietness. Silence was hard to find in a place where heat hit cold and the air turned into a battlefield, but deep in the gorge, the wind was left behind as nothing more than a whisper above.

The gorge was where what little foliage and water gathered in Monoceros, where the wind couldn't strip away what tried to thrive in the dangerous cliffs and windstorms. It was safe down here, where the air was cooler and calmer. In fact, as much as Nemesis loved the twister and its hot raging wind, down here was where she went after exerting herself. She came here to cool down, to drink and relax.

The pools that slumbered deep in the gorge were as shallow as ever. Even as a child she had trouble drowning in them (which was for the best, she was a clumsy, stupid kid) and even with the occasional bristle of snow, hardly any extra moisture had reached the bottom of the valley. She bowed her head to the first pond she stumbled to, sweat beading down her grey flank. A race against the wind in the morning always livened her up.

Nemesis expected a nice, peaceful drink as she slurped up as much water as she could manage, trying to quench her thirst after her run around the twister.

"Speech"

Desires to explore had continued to pull the crocodilian further and further from the lands he was familiar with. And once again he found himself in a place he considered less than desirable. This time the first thing that had greeted him was the dry air blowing all around in a mix of pressures, pulling the unwanted heat closer to his scaled body. Bright eyes quickly scanned the land nearly as soon as he had stepped claw within it, attentions drawn towards what appeared to be a dip in the ground.

If anything he could hope that it provided shade if it would not block all of the winds. Though, as he scurried toward it it was quickly made clear that it was deeper than just a shallow ridge. Rather what lay before him was a ravine that dug low into the heated land. A scoff pulled from the male’s toothy mouth as he looked down. This was going to prove difficult. But if it blocked the winds that whipped away at him from above it would be a welcomed challenge.

For the most part the gem did a lot of slipping and sliding down the ledges but managed to make his way down in one piece. And it was then that a rather large sight caught his eyes. But what the other creature was sucking up was of a lot more interest to the crocodile. Perhaps if he could get her away from the water source he could take it for himself. The thought to share it didn’t quite cross the predator’s mind just yet. So with the idea to chase the beast away Nakhti prepared himself for an attempt to try to frighten her. Puffing up he ran forward, letting out a hiss in hopes it would make her step away from the water.

ooc; sorry for the delay on this ;o; the month got busier than I expected

Nemesis

Abruptly, a thing lunged at her from under the water. With a startling grunt, the mutated rhinoceros stumbled backwards, just out of reach of the hissing, overgrown fish. Her eyes narrowed, fires building up in her gut. "Just who the hell are you?" The words broke from her lips as she lowered her horn, threatening him with the sharp pointed end. The limbed fish was an eyesore, a stain on her home.

"This is Merrymen territory, you'll get out of our water or I'll flay you," she snapped, her wide tail slashing behind her, a grumble in her throat. She pulled for her magic, sending flames down her veins. Her huge feet began to sizzle and burn, crackling with licks of fire as her rage came to a boiling point.

"My name is Nemesis, and I'm your worst enemy," her voice rumbled out of her lips, as she scuffed the ground with a flaming hoof-- scorching the earth under her weight.
