Chapter 13 - 13-A Game Of Tags
Within the Forest were Two Creatures playing a Game of Tags. The Prey was a Reptilian Creature with No Legs. It was a Small Emerald Green Snake. The Predator was a Bird from the Family of Accipitridae. It was a Bald Eagle. The Two Creatures were having fun within the forest. It was a Game of Tags with Loser getting eaten. Such a Fun Game that clearly respected the Rules of the Forest.
'Hmm... It's above me.' Persia quickly dodged and slithered away from her Original Position. The Eagle then landed at her former position. Persia didn't look back at the Eagle and continued her escape. The Eagle flew back to the sky and began its attack. Persia slithered through the Forest and used the Trees as covers from the Eagle.
Persia was heading back to her Burrow, but she, unfortunately, became the Prey of an Eagle. She slithered through the Forest while maintaining her Ma Speed. She sometimes changed her direction to trick the Eagle. It was the Movements she had done recently. Persia knew that such movements wouldn't save her. She also understood one fact that the Eagle was faster than her.
The Eagle was maintaining its slow speed. It didn't want to go over Persia and lose her in the Forest. It looked like a Predator staring from the Heavens and was waiting for the perfect time to dive down. Fortunately for Persia, She had many advantages in the Forest.
'I'm unlucky enough to be hunted by an Eagle, but I'm also lucky enough to be in a Forest.' Persia sighed in relief while traversing the Forest. The Trees were preventing the eagle from recklessly nose-diving towards her. But that won't stop the eagle from hunting her. Persia was even curious about why the eagle didn't stop chasing her as it was a waste of stamina for both Persia and the Eagle.
'Well, This is a Game of Tags.' Persia shook her head with a smirk plastered on her snake face. She continued slithering in the Forest at a great speed. She hid within the Grass and Ferns as the Color of her Body was Emerald Green. It may not help her hide from the Eagle, but it could help her confused the Eagle.
Persia could easily hide within the Grass and Ferns, but it wasn't enough. She was having fun being chased by the Eagle, but it was getting boring. Although Persia was getting bored of running away from the Eagle, Persia was cautious enough to understand that she couldn't underestimate the Eagle.
While slithering through the Grass, Persia noticed that the Eagle was doing another Nose Dive. She quickly dodged and slithered around many Trees. A Talon then passed in front of her, and Persia quickly turned her body around the Tree. She continued slithering in the uneven surface of the Forest. But within her mind, She was surprised.
'It adapted? A Surprise, to be sure, but a Welcome One.' Persia shook her head with a smile and continued maintaining her fast speed. The Eagle went back to the Sky and observed Persia from afar. Persia's movement was the outcome of focusing half of her Points into one Attribute. She could easily break the balance of her body.
As she slithered through the Forest, Persia found the end of the Forest. It was a Border of the Grasslands. She relied on vibrations and scent to go back to her home. It's been a while, but Persia was probably circling the area near the Burrow. There must be an area where she didn't explore, such as these Grasslands. Persia continued to traversed as she didn't have any intention to stop.
'This place is interesting. It's like an unexplored area within my Mental Map.' Persia thought to herself while staring at the Grasslands. She was slowly approaching the Border of the Forest. Although Persia said it was a Grassland, The clear patch of land in front of her was different. It was smaller than a typical Grassland, but it was still no different than a Grassland.
'Let's continue.' Persia thought while slithering through the forest. She was approaching the border of the Forest. There was the last bush that separated the Forest and the Grassland. She entered the Bush and went through it. She was finally passing the border and was now inside the Grassland.
Persia looked around the Grass and found it was full of Slick Tall Grass. The only problem was that... there wasn't a single tree in the Grassland. She traversed in the Grassland and used the Tall Slick Grass as a natural Camouflage. As she continued slithering in the Grassland, Persia noticed the Eagle behind her. The Eagle was gaining speed after leaving the forest.
'Tsk... Let's find something that could help me.' Persia looked around the Grassland as she tried to find something that could help her. While slithering on the ground, She noticed strong vibrations in the distance. She turned her head and stared in the direction of the Vibration. She then noticed creatures in the distance.
'I'm getting farther from my Burrow. It seems that circling the forest messed up my Scent.' Persia realized that she wasn't actually going back to the Burrow. It was a Huge Problem as she might get lost, but there was still an Eagle chasing behind her. While thinking about her current situation, A Plan appeared in Persia's mind.
'Why don't I used the creatures?' Persia thought to herself while staring at the creatures in the distance. They were just a black dot in the distance, but Persia was sure that they were bigger than that. She then turned her body and slithered towards the creatures in the distance. While slithering towards the creatures. Persia felt the Eagle nose-diving towards her.
She quickly rolled her body in quick succession, and the Talons of the Eagle almost hit her. The Eagle landed in her Position, and Persia quickly continued slithering. She lost speed when she rolled, so Persia had to accelerate her body. The Eagle went back to the Sky and observed Persia.
'You Noob!!!' Persia was too toxic when fighting against a Creature. The Wild might have changed her into something strange. Although she was getting hunted by a Creature, She still had the guts to cursed against the said Creature. It was probably the effect of her Resistance and her Strange Hidden Savage Persona.
Persia got nearer at the black dot in the distance. The Black Dots were getting bigger. Persia finally got a good look at the creatures. Seeing the Creatures in full scale, Persia was surprised. She also had a smirk plastered on her face. The Creatures in front of her were perfect.
'Bison? Heh...' Persia continued slithering through the Grass. She got nearer the Bisons, but she felt the Eagle diving. She quickly dodged and slithered away from her position. The Eagle landed in her position and went back to the sky. It began its next attack against Persia.
'It seems that it understood what I'm trying to do.' Persia furrowed her non-existent eyebrow. The Eagle began diving towards Persia, and Persia quickly rolled away from her Position. She was losing speed from her weird rolling dodging techniques. She slithered away from her position and accelerated her speed.
The Eagle began flying to the Sky at great speed. It was not stopping and continued to fly above the Sky. After Flying to its max height, it began its Last Dive. Persia quickly noticed something strange. The Eagle seems to have disappeared. But before Persia could continue with this thought. Persia then felt a chill throughout her body.
Persia looked around and knew what was going to happen. The Eagle was diving towards her at its Greatest speed. She was just a Small Snake. Why was the Eagle this serious? This Eagle was the embodiment of being too serious, no matter how small and weak the prey was.
'Shit!!!' Persia thought to herself. It was getting dangerous as the Diving Eagle would reach her before she was near the Herd of Bisons. She continued slithering at the Herd of Bions as she only needed to do one thing. Persia began moving at a strange over slither movement. Persia kept changing her direction to confused the Diving Eagle.
She didn't know if the plan work but in the Bird's Eye View. Persia was appearing and disappearing out of nowhere. Persia slithered in her full power and was finally near the herd of Bisons. The Diving Eagle noticed Persia and began nose-diving for one last time. Persia slithered towards one of the Bisons and hid there.
The Dive of the Eagle was strong enough to create a loud sound. Persia was surprised at the Power of the Eagle. She wondered what Genus the Eagle came from. The Eagle's Talons went through the surface and landed at Persia's known position. The Eagle didn't manage to catch Persia and looked around the area. The Herd of Bisons was surprised at the Loud sound and began their escape.
The Herd of Bisons ran away from the Loud Sound. They went together in a group and formed a large stampede. Fortunately, there wasn't a Creature near the Bisons other than the Eagle. The Eagle looked around the Area and flew to the sky. It didn't manage to see Persia and looked around the Grasslands.
Never did the Eagle know, Within one of the Bisons in the Herd. A Brown Colored Small Snake was hitching a Ride. The Bisons didn't notice her as she froze her body. The Eagle didn't notice as she changed her color into brown. The Herd of Bisons was bringing a Small Snake on their back. The Eagle was still trying to find her. Unfortunately for the Eagle, Persia was hitching a ride on the Bison's back.
'I Won, Mr. Eagle... I hope we meet again.' Persia thought to herself while on top of the Bison. She was like riding a Taxi that won't drop her in a specific location. She had a great view of the Grassland while she was in the Bison's head. It was a beautiful view, but Persia had to go back to her burrow.
While she was on the Bison's back, Persia noticed the scent of her home. She shook her head and had a satisfied smile plastered on her face. She just rolled out of the Bison's back and slithered back to the Forest. She followed her scent and began her tactical retreat.
Persia traversed through the Forest. There weren't any predators trying to chase her as she went back to her Burrow. It was a Good day for Persia. Especially when she got chased by an Eagle, She might get addicted to running away and getting chased by predators. She shook her head as there would be a time where she needed to fight back.
As she slithered in the Forest. Persia found the Bush that contained the entrance of her Burrow. She slithered her body and went in the Bush. She looked around and found her Burrow's Entrance. Persia went to the Entrance, and she was finally safe in her home.
'Home Sweet Home.' Persia sighed as she was tired of getting chased by the Eagle. She looked at her Status and saw that her Stamina only had 50% left. She was surprised that the chase and the hunt didn't take all of her stamina. It was probably connected to the Vitality. This means that her Stamina and Health got more numbers as she increased her Vitality.
Persia slithered through the Tunnel and finally found the Hall. There was still the light that came from the Small Hole in the surface. It was still daylight, but Persia was tired. It was the First time Persia had fun during her life in the forest. Although the Creature was trying to kill her and eat her, Persia still thought she had fun getting chased by the Eagle.
'My Mind is adapting on the Forest Rules. I may be getting crazier as the days passed.' Persia shook her head. She didn't know what was wrong with her but who in the hell would have fun getting chased by something that would eat them. Only some strange creature would act like that.
'I need to sleep.' Persia sighed as she curled her body to its sleeping position. Her consciousness slowly began its slumber. While Persia was sleeping, Her curled body shone brightly, signifying something clear. Persia was about to Level Up.
