[Jacob]

*Setting: The child chirped to itself, watching two Fireflies dance around wildly with each other. It was black and had gray scales lining its back and tail. Its small, beady blue eyes blinked, turning to Injin who was lying down, nawing on a bone. They were hiding out in a small burrow that had been dug into a hollow tree. The entrance was a small hole in the trees bark and then went down underground, not far. But far enough to avoid contact with the swarming Orkhids. Every so often Injin would leave the burrow to find some food, choosing to steal the rations of Soldiers or drag corpses of dead animals back. Sometimes even picking Berries or Apples off of trees. He chose not to kill the troops, favouring the stealth approach. His killing instinct tended to be subdued until he was forced to kill, never had he killed in cold blood and he never intended to...*

Reptilian Child: "Foozld...Foozld..."

Bounding upto Injin it asked for 'food'. Being so young and only used to hearing the Reptilians native language, its speech and language was abit hard to understand. But with the 3 weeks Injin had spent with it, he had learned to understand its needs and wants. Slowly climbing to his feet he nodded and headed towards the entrance of the burrow.

Injin: "Remember, stay here. Dont make any noises or venture outside...no matter what."

He spoke to it firmly, so far it had kept itself out of trouble. But every so often Injin got the feeling that something bad would happen, and his feelings usually became realism within a short amount of time...

*Setting: The Orkhid troops had set up camps all around the perimeter of the forest, not content with just driving the Reptilians out of their homeland they felt the need to destroy them. They planned to sell the corpses to clothes stores or meat processing plants. Hoping to make a tidy profit with their killings, but so far no corpses had been found, even though the troops had sworn that they had killed many. Even though they could not sell the bodies, they had found the nesting grounds. This in itself was a bonus as they could sell the eggs to egg collectors. Or to pet stores. Either way they made abit of money. Right now however two Orkhid males and a female had found a cave. It looked empty, but they had been ordered to check out any place that could be deemed as living quaters for the Reptilians and frankly a cave could be deemed such a thing. The Soldiers were all wearing kevlar and body armour. They carried AK's that were strapped to them with a leather strap and were cautious when they began to enter the domain that could possibly hold hostiles. They all wore helmets, their visors were up however so they could see clearly inside the dank, dark lair. Although the Sun was out and it was relativly bright outside, the cave blocked most of this light, making it difficult to see with a tinted visor blocking their vision.*

Soldier #1: "You notice anything different?"

He was infront of the other two and was looking around the rocky interior, trying to see any signs that would give him a clue to any inhabitants.

Soldier #3: "Yeh, the bad smell...it reaks in here."

She held her hand over her mouth and nose as she spoke, looking around the cave as she wandered towards the back of it. So far everything seemed empty and no sign of life was apparent. The second Orkhid walked towards one of the walls, something had caught his eye. Scratch marks.

Soldier #2: "Hey, hey guys...come over here..."

He turned to them, gesturing them to come towards him as he ran one of his fingers over the markings. He turned back to it and then stood back, more of these marks were further up the cave wall. Then finally he realised why, up in the shadowy concealment of the ceiling glowing eyes blinked. A tail swayed from side to side on the wall, the owner concealed by the dense shadows. He slowly began to raise his AK up in the air, but doing so caused alarm to the beings hidden away...
*Shhhup*
The arrow was shot down from the darkness, embedding itself in the Soldiers right shoulder. He winced in pain, bringing his gun up quicker and firing. His two, startled, partners span around franticly. Quickly following suit when they realised what the commotion was.

Voice: "SILENCE!!"

A blast of light was emitted from somewhere on the ceiling, flowing over the attackers and causing their guns to stop emitting any sound. The female and first male stopped firing and looked at each other in puzzlement. The entire cave was soundless and that meant that the Reptilians could fight without having to worry about nearby forces hearing and coming to help. From the middle of the shadows on the ceiling dropped Obitus. He had silenced the cave and now he was going to finish off the intruders. The moment he dropped down to the ground the Orkhids could feel his overwhelming pressence. They turned, looking at his Dracconic splendour. The second male stopped firing to reload his gun, but before he got time to unload that clip, the Reptilians had dropped down on him, ripping him apart silently. The remaining two pointed their guns at the God and began to circle around him, the female circling to the left and the male to the right. Unphased by their weapons Obitus merely smirked. The rest of the Reptilian horde were jumping down from the ceiling now, not attacking the intruders but spectating and awaiting for their God to make his move. The female reached back into the back of her belt and brought out a radio, she then attempted to speak into it. But due to the mute spell that Obitus had cast, ultimatly failed. He smiled calmly and brought up his arms, his claws outstretched as their weapons snapped off their straps and flew into his claws. Melting at the touch of his skin. and making a pool of black metal on the cave floor.

Obitus: "Your kind are the worst..."

He muttered this lowly, his head moving from side to side as he watched the Soldiers reactions.

Obitus: "Well, aren't you going to fight for your lives...?"

He purred these words, his eyes glowing red as he did so. Slowly the male began to reach behind him were his holstered 9mm was. He looked at the female and nodded to her, she knew the plan, they had spoke about a similar scenerio when they were patrolling together back at the base, although they never counted on the fact they'd be fighting with something that could wield magick. It was her job to distract the powerfuller party, whilst he acted. She rolled back her shoulders and psyched herself up for what she was about to do and with a silent scream, ran towards the God. Obitus smiled and waved his arm towards her, releasing two red Orbs joined together with a string of electricity. As she ran the two Orbs went either side of her, pulling the electricity towards her at a high velocity. Within seconds the string of electric had gone through her waist and the two Orbs hit a nearby rock, charring it. The female began to slow down, her eyes filled with pain and her face crunched up, she slowly rose her hands to her mid-section, blood trickled out of the corners of her mouth and wifts of smoke came from her waist. Then from the waist above her torso slid backwards and her legs fell forwards. Blood gushed out of both sections and immediatly the Reptilians dove on the two halves of the corpse to feast. The male felt ill. He had watched his friend be murdered in the most brutellest way. Rage fuelled up inside of him, he grasped the handle of the gun, brought it up and pulled the trigger. Flashes from the nozzle indicated that the gun was working even though no sound was apparent. The bullets hurtled towards Obitus and as they closed in, curved in different directions and began to orbit the Gods pressence. Flying around him so fast that they were nothing but a blur. The Orkhid unloaded somemore rounds, his eyes now watering with anger and frustration.

Obitus: "Thankyou..."

The God smiled and puffed out his chest. The bullets swarmed around his body somemore and then hit his chest, disappearing under the skin without any sign of impact. Now the God turned to face the Soldier head on, but instead of a dramatic battle, merely blinked at the troop. And as he did so the Soldiers head exploded. Scattering brains, bones and blood everywhere. The headless corpse then dropped to its knees and fell on its side, its hands twitching uncontrollably...
