Eryyka stopped short, frozen for one brief moment in total terror.  She hadn't heard the massive beast approaching her, nor sensed or smelled him.  That meant he was a very skilled hunter, because Eryyka could detect almost anything coming her way long before it was close enough to cause harm.  But he had gotten so close, he was now within arm's reach.  She started to back away, realizing that she was in deep trouble, ready to make a run for it.  She knew what this beast wanted.<br/><br/>But then she paused.  The patterns of his scales, the colorings... they looked familiar.  She looked down at her own patterns, and gasped in horrified shock even as he scented her and learned the truth himself.  This was the beast that had raped her mother!<br/><br/>Without thinking, she lashed out with her clawed right hand, raking the sharp talons across his face as he sniffed at her.  "Get away from me you monster!" she howled.  "I'll kill you for what you did to her!"
