Sakura: *The Leviathan fled, and I gave chase, surprisingly, so did the hunter, but I wasn't too shocked at this, all too few were the times Id witnessed a hunter of this calibur flee as his mark did the same. I realigned my focus, and my objectives changed, my first objective of observing the hunter now took second place over the slaying of the ludroth, the hunters input into my studies would be but a short term benifit in comparison to the dangers the ludroth represented, whether or not the hunter took the beast for himself was now of little conscequence, though preferably I would have it as my prize.*<br/><br/>*as the ludroth entered the river, splashing and rolling, it quickly gobbled up an unlucky gargawa, swallowing it whole to boost its own stamina, the thought definately crossed my mind to enact the same deed unto the leviathan, I had the stamina and the strength to pull it off, but it needed to be weaker, and I needed its body for my studies of weapon craft. But these were mere thoughts, before I threw my head into the hunt. Charging but then halting in a feint to trick the leviathan into a roll, I swiftly strike my bladed tail from its shoulder to its hip making a wound myself, but then slug it in the throat just above the stirnum(collar bone) where the muscles are the most tense and knotted. The leviathan tipped and I pounced seeing my chance, I seized its head in my throat and sat down on its belly pinning him until I could wrap his entire head up in my throat...and from here I held him, his thrashing and flailing prooving all for naught as the leviathan quickly expended the last breath he would ever draw. I knew I didnt have to swallow him, only choke him of what air he had, by sitting on his belly, I forced the air in his lungs to escape him, by wrapping his head in my skin, I robbed him of new breath. He quickly went limp, I held on for a moment longer, but then retracted my jaws.*<br/><br/>*My attention now turned towards the hunter, and I sent him the emotions curiosity, gratitude, but also a hunger, not for flesh as most, but for knowledge*
