Despite her size, Gadana Ama was a quiet walker. Every step was slow, heavy, but silent. Her tail swayed to her steps, trunk curled half-way, and ears pressed hard against her head. Crimson eyes were peeled for her next victim. Someone who wasn't just another lesser gembound. And as she wandered, she remained unphased by the chill of the tunnel, whilst prowling for any lost souls. Someone to use to scratch her itch; someone she could pain the white ice red with.

He was never sure of where he was going, anymore. He just... went. Walked and wandered and swam where he could. Today he was slipping across the damp ground of Tunnel H. He was aiming toward Eridanus, unbeknownst to him. His mind was stuck on himself, moping about his depression and loneliness. That is, he was until something created a shadow that grabbed his attention. Kawenu looked upward, finding massive feet. So, he looked up further... and further, until he found the face of the growing forest elephant, tusks stained in a funky reddish color. Her eyes gave him a chill, which provoked his feathers to fluff up a bit. The air seemed to suddenly get colder, and he took a couple steps backward. "H-Hello," he stammered quietly. "I'm Kawenu." ---- "He talks with quite the gusto." He thinks too much. OOC: words Tag: @Gadanai

There it was. Colored feathers dragged her eyes a little to the left, then downward. She halted her steps and observed the bird waddle closer and closer, unaware of her presence. As the gap between them closed, she found herself imagining all kinds of ways to torment him. Torture, even. Blood, guts, and perhaps a collection of shining feathers. Then, he stopped and looked up at her. His fear was thick in the air and she reached her nose to him, inhaling the smell deeply. Words shivered in his voice, greeting her. Her lips pulled up into a big, tight smile, eyes widening a little with a sick glee. She stepped forward, then wrapped her trunk around his neck and began to squeeze. She watched him for a moment, waiting for his reaction to the grip of a monster like her. When satisfied, she began to throw her trunk around, shaking and throttling the little creature held by her appendage. She was sure she felt a pop, but didn't stop it there. She continued until it bored her, which took several, long minutes. "Speech" Thoughts OOC: Hurray? Tag: @Kawenu Injuries: healing shoulder gash. Attack/Defense: Grab and Shake Rounds: 1 of 1

Kawenu listened for her to say something back, but the words never came. All he could see was her subtly hidden mouth curl upward, her eyes becoming and more menacing than they'd started out as. As she moved forward, he tried to backpedal out of the way. Instead, he felt his neck scream in pain, the grip she had on him stealing his breath away. Then, it began. His head got dizzy and his brain rattled, head hurting increasingly as blood began to pour into his skull. His neck cracked. At first, he thought his neck had merely popped, but no... it had broken. His ability to breath was gone, he couldn't move at all, and darkness creeped into his vision... until it was gone. He was gone. His life was dashed away in a mere moment, taken by murder. ---- "He talks with quite the gusto." He thinks too much. OOC: He dead. Tag: @

Gadanai stared at the body, watching it remain dead and broken. She lowered herself down to her fore-knees, then began digging her tusks and face into the lifeless corpse. It began to tear, feathers smearing on the ground and blood beginning to come from the holes, masking her face. When he was nothing more than a fleshy splotch in the dirt, she stood and looked at the pile once more... and saw something. She reached for it and plucked it out of the red goo, it's purple shine glinting. There it was. The gem of a greater gembound. A sentient being was tortured and murdered and this was her trophy. She popped it into her mouth and swished it a bit, taking the taste of blood. When she pulled them gem back out, she swallowed her blood-spit mix and inspected the "clean" gem. It was surprisingly prettier without all the blood. She smiled, then curled it up with her trunk before turning around and head to her home in Eridanus.
