Chapter 5: Sky Predator
Lapis didn’t notice the creature till it was almost on top of her. The mighty flapping of its wings thoroughly threw off her own air control with its turbulence and sent her spiraling.
“FUCK A DUCK!” Lapis shouted as she tumbled through the air, and seeing the shape above her decided that falling might be the best idea. She did her best to regain control using her tail, so she at least wasn’t spinning around and nose dived away from the creature that she knew was following her. She only spread her wings again to slow down once she was approaching the tree canopies and hit the brakes hard to slow down, dropping below the branches and half landing half crashing into one of the branches.
The wind was knocked out of her by the impact but at least she was under the canopy, and should be out of immediate sight. she just lay on the branch on her stomach, a leg handing down off either side as she waited and held still. The creature apparently hadn’t lost sight of her though and soon a neighboring tree top practically exploded as the large creature landed on it, smashing through the top of the tree till the larger branches could support his weight. Coming to a rest the dragon stared right at her.
“Oh my my my. You must be new here” He grinned an all too toothy grin. Up close she could see that, while he was clearly a dragon, he didn’t seem like a reptile. It was covered with dark fur and had feather’s in his wings, along with purple marks that probably indicated some sort of magic.
“The FUCK are you?” Lapis managed after catching her breath. “You knocked me out of the sky!”
“You were smaller than I expected for a dragon. in fact” He looked her over closely, scanning her body with his eyes, “You have those ‘boob’ things. Was your mother one of the two legged people? or did you just eat one?”
“What?” Lapis said exasperated and sat up on the branch, “I’m… Look I know I LOOK like a dragon but TECHNICALLY I’m a Kangaroo Bat Hybrid”
“Started as one and ate the other or…”
“I was born this way, what’s this about eating?” Lapis demanded still cross with him, and not at all comfortable with how his gaze was still scanning over her exposed body.
The furry feathered dragon laughed, “You really don’t know how it works huh? must be really new. Just my, and your, good luck to find me before something else did.”
“Ok so you know how this place works? you planning on telling me”
He smiled a predatory grin again, “Sure. thing. but you owe me.” He took a breath and continued, “This place changed you. Takes ‘you are what you eat’ very literally. Eat something other than fruits and you change to include that thing in yourself.”
“Wonder if Hazel ate a snake” Lapis mused to herself before responding, “so what, you eventually just turn into a hodgepodge of random traits if you are a predator?”
“You can control it eventually, learn to shapeshift, for the most part, at least. but only after you get changed a lot.” he explained, “before you learn to control it, yes, each any animal product and change. though you can use it intentionally to gain useful traits.”
Lapis nodded taking it all in, “Ok that’s odd, but it explains a couple things. I guess you are uh, shifted too?”
“Yep. I have enough control to return to normal but I kinda like fur, and feathers.” He grinned, “and its had another side effect too. you see I’ve started to find you furry types a lot more attractive than I ever used to as a pure dragon.”
Lapis blushed and shifted back, “UH. I’m flattered but…
“And you owe me”
“Ex-fucking-scuse me?” Lapis sputtered, “A little explanation does not equal sex!” She wasn’t even sure how sex would work with such a ‘substantial’ creature.”
“Shame. I really wish a cutie like you were more willing.” He shook his head, “but you see its been unacceptably long for me so. How rough do I have to get?”
Lapis didn’t bother responding to that in favor of just leaping form the branch and spreading her wings. It was mere moments before she heard a roar behind her from the dragon giving chase. She tried to weave around the trees hoping to keep him at a distance. The rapid turns she was capable of would surely be hard to manage to a creature twice her size.
For awhile it seemed to be working. Twisting around trunks and branches felt like she was loosing him. Until that is that she felt a sharp blow to her back that sent her face planting into the side of a tree. The disorientation was quickly followed by a large weight pressing on her back. The dragon had grabbed the tree and was pressing against her with his belly.
“Now now. no running or you’ll have a bad time of it” He smirked and gently grinded against her.
“Ohh fuck you” Lapis growled and squirmed.
“That is the idea” He laughed again and started to slide up her a bit, “Be a good girl now.”
Lapis had little interest in being a good girl, especially not to this guy, so instead of giving him what he wanted she just kicked him square in the balls. Being kicked in the balls can hurt, though probably less for a full scale dragon being kicked by a normal person. Though if that person can claim a Kangaroo for a parent, well then the scale of the kick is a good bit higher.
With an ear-piercing cry of pain the dragon jerked and twisted pulling away and giving Lapis the opening. She practically ran straight down the tree picking up speed to fall faster. She spread her wings and pulled up hard to jerk herself out of sight. She was fairly sure she sprained something when she did that. and even more sure when she couldn’t stop fast enough and ended up tumbling through the underbrush and coming to rest under some brush on the forest floor. It definitely hurt, but she didn’t seem too injured so she just held still and waited hoping the damned dragon would go the fuck away.
She heard roaring above and a large number of various threats, many of which involved which holes she would soon find filled once he found her, but eventually he did seem to fly off and lapis was able to sigh with relief.
Staggering up she started walking. She didn’t like the idea of trying to find her way back to Hazel on foot, but she knew the rough direction and didn’t care to risk flying right now, so she walked.
The underbrush of this place was surprisingly beautiful. Weirdness of everything aside, and would be rapists notwithstanding, there were a surprising diversity of life here, flowers and ferns and vines. She found herself calming down partially due to the quiet and partially due to the relaxing scents she smelled along the way.
About an hour of walking later she felt something odd and looked down, only to find that a rather large flower that she was pressing through had somehow cupped itself onto her breast. The petals fitting neatly all around the globe of soft flesh. She raised and eyebrow and gently pushed the flower off and continued on, only to have the occurrence repeat itself with a different flower only a few hundred feet later.
“I’m being molested by plants now?” She shook her head at the absurdity and pushed the flower off then stepped to the side only to see it turn and lean for her breasts again.
“Seriously?!” She scooted a way from the flower, “What is it with this place? you shapeshift if you eat meat, the plants want to fondle you, fuzzy rapist dragons, and the horizon doesn’t even seem to exist! where the bloody hell am I!?”
When the thirsty plant didn’t answer her she sighed and strolled on, hoping to get back before she needed to sleep out here, though she did make a point to avoid walking near anything that looked like a vine. You know. Just in case.
