As Eos was scooped up by the reptillian hand she tried to jump to get away but found herself ensnared none the less. She gasped for air as it gave a squeeze of her and was reaching for a knife tucked in her boot but didn't see being able to get to it in time. Golden eyes darted to look for Devos as he stood snarling deep in his throat every damned quill on him was spiked up now and he was creeping closer with death written in his eyes. She kicked and thrashed trying to get enough breath to whistle him back afraid he would charge in to try and save her and end up injured in the process. But before she could even accomplish this Jerrick came up out of no where.<br/><br/>He jumped off Devos' back – frankly she thought he had a death wish in that moment Devos flinched from the pressure of someone other than his pack on his back and turned to swipe but Jerrick was already up and over. Everything that happened next happened almost to quickly. Eos was dropped and found the ground painfully just as another explosive round was discharged and Jerrick said something she was sure of it – then finally the head landed beside her. She blinked and sat up scooting away from the wretched things head – fully aware of the old saying Dead Snakes Bite.<br/><br/>She looked back at Jerrick in time to see him point at Devos and tried to command her hell hound not to bite. She couldn't help but give a small laugh as she gasped for air still and clucked her tongue to Devos. He huffed quills still on end but slowly sank into a laying position eyes on Eos still worried. She had a cracked ribb she believed.<br/><br/>She laid on the ground for a moment while regaining her breath when she heard Jerrick's tears and words. She turned hazel eyes on him and slowly rolled to get up, as he continued to rant off names she moved to his side and placed a hand on his shoulder gave a gentle squeeze and then slipped away. She moved to Devos giving Jerrick a moment of silence while she contemplated what she'd just learned. That made a ton of sense actually. He was a part of the Vanguard and she'd heard of the massacre. Her own tribe had stayed far from that area for a while because of it. No sense in going into an area overrun by creatures like … well like that fucking thing.<br/><br/>She thought as she looked back over to the dead Crococlaw. She found one of Devos' scales had been displaced and was loose – he was going to loose it. So she gave a sharp tug causing him to growl warning to her as she pulled the scale free. “Shush baby” she growled right back at him. This was when Jerrick started to commend her of the hunt. She started to go through her bags hunting for a chain or something to help tow the dead Vyst back to the outpost. They had to get it there some how right? Leave it here and the scavengers would clean away the whole thing – wouldn't be even a stack of bones if left here for to long.<br/><br/>However her movements stalled when Jerrick called for her help with the Eggs she moved closer to the home and crouched to peer in. A part of her wanted to stop him – that was A LOT of money he was about to destroy. Then again another side of her – a part of her that made many of her tribe called her a Gadja – an outsider – considered all that his people had been through. She nodded and stood “I've got this – go calm yourself down” She said moving past him into the nest. She took a couple of the fire rounds from a pocket and busting the cartiged spread the flammable liquid all over the nest. Then she made her way back out crouched and took flint out and struck them in the air. Something strange would happen fire sparked to life around her hands for the span of a moment and then took to the flammable liquid and spread into the nest quickly. The fire closest to Eossis was burning white hot until she stepped away and then it would turn the normal orange yellow of fire.<br/><br/>“That will cook the eggs well” She said walking back to Devos. “I'm not worried about my end of things either – without me how in the hell you going to get this body back?” She said with a smirk on her face. She pulled chains from Devos travel packs and started to work about getting the reptile bitch wrapped and secured to be dragged back. She winced for a moment as she bent over latching the last of the chains together around it's torso her ribs were rather painful. “So back to the outpost then?” She said she didn't bring up his past – she didn't consider it for long either – she and her people were not ones to mourn lose of life well and past their time. It was something that happened to all even if the events that led to the death were a great sorrow. There was nothing one could do with vengance – there was nothing one could do to change what had happened. Forward was the only way of life – at least with her clan anyways.<br/><br/>“Come on” She said “I need to get this thing back so I can follow my people's trail before they vanish.” She paused realizing once again that he was Vanguard “We're on the trail of a new world... rumors speak of the East Blossoming with life. Perhaps .. perhaps you're people would be curious to see if the rumors are true as well” She then climbed aboard Devos and waited for him. She would need Devos to carry her cause she was really starting to feel the ribs.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="114" data-username="@Andraus" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/114/">@Andraus</a>
