A/N:Hello, folks. How are you? Anyways, I have a special announcement to make. That is why I'm locked up in a secret lair with this pretty little Vollarx over here. You see, I am not a petty man.... I am a VERY petty man. And also somewhat mad; as evidenced by the fact that this is only ONE of my secret lairs. You see, I demand a massive ransom before I allow this poor creature to go and show off a consequence ability in the special next chapter. ...Vicious, isn't sh-AAAH! (Lots of clattering is heard.) Ah....Okay, she bit off a finger, but I have some R&C Nanotech right here-it should be fine. .......I hope. Anyways, I demand 20-OW! (Clattering again.) Mean little....Okay, make that si-AAAAAAAH! (Much screaming and clattering heard, as well as an unidentifiable white noise of sorts. You may know it as pain.) Right, keeping her here isn't worth that much. Just two reviews and you get to see what this nasty little sucker does with the right song. If you'll excuse me, I need to get some vital organs returned to their proper places....

The creature was an interesting one; it was certainly different from anything else on the continent. As opposed to the powerful legs or slithering tails everything else preferred, the Xaldwing had a few weak appendages that ended in long spikes and some flappy things on it's back. Sadly, it was also in the territory of a Taurlex-one of the massive, brown, bull-like herbivores that smashed any meat-eater in their territory.
Another unfortunate thing was that the nest of Pyrax next door made fun of him-but that wasn't relevant.
The Taurlex charged from behind it's tree, fully prepared to gore the intruder on it's horns......and the Xaldwing was gone. The rather stupid animal turned back to look, rather confused. The unidentifiable leg the Xaldwing had been chewing was still there, but the creature that had been eating it was gone. A harsh squawk caused the Taurlex to turn around, finding the impudent little creature sitting some distance away and cackling at him. Cackling! He promptly charged again....and, once more, hit naught but thin air. Followed closely by a tree trunk he hadn't noticed in his haste. Managing to extract his horns from the tough wood, he promptly caught sight of the Xaldwing again. Furious beyond any kind of reason now, he charged again at double speed.......And passed through thin air where the Xaldwing had been!
Furious at missing again, the Taurlex didn't notice that he'd also passed over the edge of the cliff until he noticed that wind isn't supposed to go up.
The clever little Xaldwing glided down from the cliff, letting himself drop once he was a few feet above the Taurlex so that he could drive his six spikes into the tough creature. After all, the former owner of that leg had managed to knock him around a little after falling off the cliff yesterday......
