8 How can you stay mad when you have tasty food? (1/2)
A dark shadow moved through the water at incredible speeds to the point that the creature that he passed had thought they had seen a ghost. However even after moving for hours there was no white sand in sight let alone the giant tree
”Little crab I'm pretty sure we're lost…. Lets stop and ask for directions” the little manta said as he stopped moving
He concentrated his mana and shot it out from him in a wave almost like a sonar pulse. It moved out for a long distance before he finally found an old eel hiding in a large piece of coral a certain distance away.The manta flapped its wings and reached the opening of its hiding place almost instantly.
”Hey old eel! come out for me!” the manta shouted.
Hearing someone call out to it, the old eel that was waiting for prey was startled, he peeked outside of the small cave he had created in the coral and found a large inky black shadow with a small golden crab sitting comfortably on top of its head.
'Oh no, it's them! The black and gold calamity! Why are they here?!!' The old eel wanted to escape but was it possible to escape from them? Puting on his best ass kissing face he quickly moved out of the hole as to not let them wait another second.
”Oh if it isn't the great black and gold calamity! What good fortune it is for me to be able to lay my eyes on such great figures in my lifetime! If there is anything you need from the weak and old me i'll do my best to complete it!” The silly old eel said as he tried his best to not look them straight in the eyes. The golden crab could even be said to look beautiful but the black manta with its large and dull eyes together with that large gaping mouth that looked to lead directly into the nothingness made the old eel feel like he was going to have a heart attack.
'Black and gold calamity? Is that what they are calling us?' He felt somewhat proud to have gotten such a cool nickname and he had started to get lost in his thoughts when he felt a gentle poke from his back that reminded him of why they were here
”Err... oh right, so we just wanted to ask for some directions”
The old eel felt relieved when he heard that but still tried his best to help. Once he heard the description of the place from the big manta he was shocked. Why would they want to go to such a place? Everyone knows besides its beauty it's a complete death zone where even the sand had turned white from the powdered bone of their unfortunate victims! But who was he to question them? The old eel pointed them towards the direction and even gave them a detailed explanation of all the places around it.
Once they got what they needed the manta thanked the old eel and quickly left with the golden crab. Watching their backs the old eel was suddenly reminded of a scene that he saw a long time ago of a little manta fighting against a little crab.
”No way, how could those two be them?” laughing to himself the old silly eel went back into his little cave to wait for the next expecting prey.
At the speed the manta could move it didn't even take half an hour for them to reach the big tree. Unfortunately it seemed like the fish were out hunting as there were no lights to be seen.
The manta sat down on one of the big branches like he did that day, though this time he sat on the lower ones that were much thicker since he couldn't fit his big body on the thick branches at the top like he used to.
The little crab hopped off onto the branch beside it and put her skull box full of sand to her side. As she set it down the branch lowered noticeably.
”Why are you even carrying that sand with you anyways?” the manta asked as he rubbed the place on his back that the skull had been sitting on with his tail.
”Special sand” responded the golden crab.
”What do you mean special? You were the one that made me pick the sand for you and I specifically remember that it was just normal sand!” He said aggrieved, not only was he carrying the little crab but now had to carry sand as well! 'What am i a dump truck??!'
”I made it special” the sweet voice calmly responded.
The manta had noticed that even though he never collected anymore sand for her the skull box had been getting heavier and heavier. He had thought it was all in his head so he never mentioned it before but now that she said it herself maybe the sand really is special.
The duo quietly rested as they calmly waited for their old enemies to appear.
...….
In the distance a large school of fish moved through the water, each one carrying a small bone in their sharp jaws showing their hunt was successful.
They moved unimpeded as any living creature with an ounce of intelligence would run away as soon as they saw the light in the darkness. Individually their strength wasn't that big compared to other magical beasts but as a group they could proudly say that there weren't many creatures that could compete with them!
After a few hours of moving through the water after a long hunt they finally reached their den. A huge tree that stood unyielding in the currents under the water. They quickly moved towards it but right before they reached it a large cloud of darkness suddenly started spreading out from it. It quickly grew not only over the tree and the light fish but it only stopped after it completely covered the whole bone dust biome!
The fish were startled and quickly huddled together dropping their bones as they got into a formation. They had fought many creatures that had the element of darkness before but with their element of light that completely countered it why should they be afraid??
All the fish suddenly released a ray of light which came together becoming a large beam which cut through the darkness. They slowly changed directions allowing the beam to leave a large cut behind however they were shocked to find that the hole was instantly filled back up. After attacking for a few more seconds and noticing that their attack did not have much of an effect they stopped and looked around warily.
”HAHAHAHA! little bone fish did you ever think that this day would come? The creatures that you thought were once your prey would one day be coming back to get revenge!!” A powerful voice sounded out leaving all the fish startled as they looked towards the direction it was coming from.
