The mother's struggle: Part 4/ Finale
The mother Eittan continues her travel alongside her remaining babies, still unable to find the Dniproverts. They had ran away for quite a while, and the mother is now lost in the steppes of the First Planet.
These large plains have little life in them, but are sometimes traversed by herbivores trying to reach more fertile grounds. Many die in the traverse because of the lack of food and water, alongside the freezing temperatures.
And the predators.
Despite being largely unpopulated, sometimes predators traverse them in order to find weak herbivores or dead carcasses. Even the largest ones traverse this land, and they are not generally afraid of fighting even an Eittan. Some can even hunt them alone.
One such hunter has saw her.
Hidden in his den that he digged as a base in the ground, he slowly emerges from it.
The mother hasn't noticed the threat, and continues her march, alongside her tired babies. She knows that soon she will need to rest, or her children may not gonna make it.
Suddenly, she stops. Loud sounds came from behind her, almost shaking the terrain. It almost seemed like an earthquake, but it seemed weak and irregular.
The mother froze in terror. For the first time since she was an adult, she experienced true fear. Because she realized what is behind her.
Without even thinking, she ran away as fast as she could alongside her cubs. Despite being small and tired, they are still able to keep up the pace from the opponent. They do not see it, but they feel its presence.
The hunter, in the meantime, chose to chase the prey not by running, but by digging. In this way, the animal could match the female speed.
All of a sudden, she was grabbed by the leg by a powerful four finger hand, not making her able to escape. The hunter's grasp was too strong, no matter how much the female tried to free herself.
Shortly after, the hunter came out of the ground, in its full might. The king of the First Planet is in front of her. Donskayashcheritsa.
This 10 meters high, 19, 8 meters long predator could hunt basically anything in these cold lands, and no hunter dared to challenge him, no matter how numerous.
It had a long, robust tail with spikes on the back. Around the base of it, the spikes become more elegant, forming a plate structure similar to the one of Dunarisoparla, although even more elegant. They had the shape of a rectangular, but with four large triangle shapes on the side and two on the top. Its body was robust, covered in spikes and similar plate structures, although on the side there were now three triangles, and were also larger. On the side of the back there were also smaller equivalents. Its legs are long and muscular, allowing it to keep a upright position. They had four strong fingers armed with large claws used for digging. Its arms were long and muscular, equipped with four prehensile fingers armed with sharp claws. Its neck was short, with a single plate structure with only two triangles on the top. The head was large, with enormous eyes, small nostrils and powerful jaws equipped with triangular teeth.
Once realizing running away was not gonna solve anything, the female hit the opponent with its powerful tail, causing him to almost fall down. This caused him to let go of the leg of the female.
The Donskayashcheritsa roared at the female in a sign of challenge, and she stood her ground. He slowly walked forward, before letting out another roar. The female roared too, and charged at the opponent, hitting him in the head.
The Donskayashcheritsa responded by slapping the female in the face with its claws. The mother hit him again with its head two times, before being grabbed by the hunter. He embraced her in a deadly hug, slashing the side of the body while also biting the neck.
She got free from the hug after a ferocious fight and charged again at the predator. He then proceeded to tail whip the mother, only to slash its arms to the air while trying to hit her.
She tail-whipped the opponent to, causing him to nearly fall down. Up to now, the match is pretty even.
However, the hunter recovered and charged at her sides, slashing and biting them with such force she felt down. When she got up, she saw him charging at her.
She reacted quickly, tail-whipping the opponent with such force he was launched for a few meters away. The mother roared at the opponent, who got on all fours and responded to the roar.
He then launched himself at her, biting her shoulders with immersive strength, she almost passed out. She stood her ground, screaming in pain, trying to shake off the opponent with her arms. After a while of struggling, the predator was forced to let go the female.
Both of them remained still for a while. They both needed to recover from the fight. Then, the female remained still, stomping the ground to appear more menacing.
Suddenly, the Donskayashcheritsa looked in her eyes, and remained still, almost frozen. The female, however, noticed something strange.
The plate structure on the back of the Donskayashcheritsa where glowing. She never saw such thing happen, and she was confused.
The poor mother did not know the secret weapon of the hunter. After five minutes, a large beam came out of the mouth of the Donskayashcheritsa, hitting the ground and being on the verge of hitting the Eittan. She ran from it, not caring of the hunter. She has never been so afraid in her entire life.
The plates on the back of Donskayashcheritsa are used to channel energy, which he receives from the preys he eats. One channeled, they create a chain reaction in the back of the animal, which cause several atoms of energy to came out of the mouth as a laser beam, burning anything in sight. No animal can survive such attack.
When the attack was over, she stopped to look around. To her surprise, the hunter wasn't there. She feared for the worst: she knew that Donskayashcheritsa would not give up such a large meal as a Eittan.
She started to look around, while the hunter stealthy digged its way up to the surface.
Once she turned around, she saw the hunter in front of her, who grabbed her throat with its arms, trying to slash the main blood vein. The mother strength was the only thing preventing that, as she shook the predator away.
The hunter roared at the female, but did not notice her charging at him at the abdominals with immense strength. She hit the head of the hunter again, causing him to lose some teeth.
As the battle continued, snow started to came down from the sky, covering the steppe of the region.
While the two were fighting, the Eittan babies were hiding behind a large rock, believing to be safe from the large Donskayashcheritsa. And they were, as it was not interested in them, but in the mother.
What they did not realize was the fact that another threat was nearby. Two small predators saw the fight and were waiting for one of the combatants to die in order to feed on its flesh.
However, they also saw a much more immediate source of food. Her babies.
These hunters were a pair of Rusvor, opportunistic hunters of the plains.
Reaching a length of six meters and a height of four, they were small compared to Donskayashcheritsa, but still big enough to hunt down a small Eittan.
They had long, muscular tail and robust bodies. Their legs were long and muscular, with four fingers. The one in the heel was basically a single sharp claw, and was basically pointless. The two other fingers where long, and equipped with long, sharp claws. The last finger, the most interior one, was short but strong, equipped with a sickle like claw. The arms were long and muscular, equipped with three short fingers with sharp claws. Their neck was long and robust, supporting a large head with small eyes, small nostrils and powerful jaws.
Once they saw the babies, they believed that they would be an easy meal, but were still careful.
Strakh was the first to saw the Rusvors, and cried in fear. They charged in, trying to grab one of the babies, who dodged the attack. Gnev tried to charge at one of them, but was blocked by the feet of the other one, who was ready to bite him.
However, at that moment, the fear of losing a sibling combined to the fear of dying allowed Strakh to react, and charging at the opponent. Rusvors had a light body with weak bones, and the charge of the young Eittan caused some pain to the small hunter.
To the surprise of Gnev, Strakh even roared at the opponents, showing that he was not afraid.
An attack from the Rusvor comrade was also blocked by Ahida, who bite its leg and charged at him in full might. The other Rusvor tried to jump on Strakh, but was blocked by Gnev, who bit its tail and charged at him. it was a miracle if its leg wasn't broke.
The two hunters retreated, humiliated from the three babies, who charged at them to show that they could still kick their asses if they do not move faster.
Strakh in particular was stomping its feed like a madman, feeling brave for the first time in his young life. Gnev stroked his nose on the young Eittan face. If he could speak English or other human languages (or any languages for that matter), he would be saying "thank you".
In the meantime, the fight between the Donskayashcheritsa and the mother Eittan raged on.
The mother tried to charge at the opponent once more, but he fired his beam again, this time way faster than before. She dodged, but was nearly hit. However, she noticed a moment of distraction from the hunter.
He took that opportunity, and got on the flank of the Donskayashcheritsa. She charged at full speed and full power. If she gets an hit, the predator is dead. And she got it.
The hit had an immense magnitude: it broke the rib cage, caused the lungs to almost reposition themselves, its heart was crushed by the various organs hitting it, and even the rib cage on the other side was badly damaged.
The hunter wasn't even able to scream. He just stood there, for a good minute or two, before collapsing on the ground. In less of five minutes, he died of a combination of shock and internal bleeding.
The mother roared in victory: she eliminated one of the most dangerous hunters in these lands with a single hit. But at a high price.
She is seriously wounded. She needs to recover from the fight. She's extremely tired. As such, she collapsed on the ground. Her babies, preoccupied, got on her side. They do not know if she will recover.
Some miles away, Radost, Pechal, the Zublyas herd and the female Belopoveritsa continue their exploration of the forest. They sometimes stop by to eat something, with the travel sometimes being interrupted by hunters.
For example, one baby Zublya was attacked by a Sorkodil, and an adult was attacked by a Bukriny. The Belopoveritsa showed her strength against a couple of Rumliks and a single female Finliceritsa, and Radost fought against an Azodve. She nearly killed him.
Pechal is in excellent conditions: she can easily keep up with the herd, and she got a little fatter. In a way, this adventure turned out to be good for her.
Once they reached the densest part of the forest, however, they found something they never expected to find in such place. A large herd of Kolkhleritsas.
With a length of 14,1 meters and a height of almost ten, they are relatively large compared to the herd. These animals do not belong in forests, but they probably got there to find cover from the snow, which can reach the ground in here because of the denseness of the trees.
They have long muscular tails which function as a third leg. Just like the Eittans, as a matter of fact they walk upright with the help of their long, muscular legs equipped with three long fingers. Their body was fat and barrel shape, and they had long, slim arms equipped with five fingers. Their neck was short and muscular, supporting a large head, with a tube-like crest on the back of it. They had large eyes, large nostrils and a beak that resembled lips.
In the forests, such large animals had little to no predators at all. But they found hard moving in the forest terrain, and sometime got stuck alongside the trees.
The two herds remained in the forest until the next day, as they knew that going out of the forest was not a good idea, because it was snowing.
On the next day, the two herds came out of the forest and got near the lake once again. This time around, they were not going to drink, as they satisfied their thirst by eating snow.
Sunbathing in the morning sun, there was a large creature on the beach. Both Radost and Pechal got closer to inspect it. Some other Zublyas got close too, attracted by the weird creature.
When Pechal got on its back, it started to shake around, causing the young Eittan to fall down. Radost charged at her a few time, but her armor prevented the elder sister to cause too much damage.
It was a male Pecskaakha, a large aquatic herbivore reaching lengths of five meters and heights of two that inhabits the coasts and lakes of the First Planet, alongside the rivers and the seas. It has also a diameter of four meters.
It had a short, almost nonexistent tail and a round body, covered in a strong armor. It had four flippers for limbs, with the posterior ones being the smallest and thickest, while the anterior ones being the longest and strongest. Its neck was short, supporting a large round head with large eyes and a large mouth.
The animal used its frontal flippers to run into the waters, afraid of the Zublyas and the two sisters.
Once there, he actually started feeding on various sea plants in the lake. He calmed down, realizing that no other predators from the land can get him.
On the waters, however, he noticed something nice for a male Pecskaakha: a female.
She also seemed to be ready to mate. She even got close to him, showing that she is consenting.
For animals, it is rare that a female is immediately willing to mate. Sometime the male has to show to be worthy. Not in this case.
As such, the two herbivores reached the surface, and the male got on her back, starting to humping her.
The action lasted for a couple of minutes, then the male let go. Once the mating was finished, the two traveled in separate ways: the female got into the beach to rest, while the male continued the feeding.
He, however, did not notice that when the two were getting on it, a shadow was stalking them.
Suddenly, before he could even realize, powerful jaws grabs its head, shaking it violently in the water. the next thing that happened, the Pecskaakha had been decapitated. After that, the predator started feeding on the flesh under the head, ripping large chucks of meat.
A Vralatils took advantage of the situation to make a successful kill that will feed him for weeks. The male had the right idea in mating: now its genes will be transmitted on the next generation.
Let's hope that they do not commit the same mistakes as their father, and be more careful.
Watching the Pecskaakha being devoured are the two Eittans, the Zublya herd and a colony of weird, upright animals. There are millions of them, covering a good portion of the beach.
These are Dneguins, four meters tall piscivorous that inhabits all bodies of water in the First Planet as long as they have enough fish in them.
They have a short tail composed by feathers which functions as a third leg to support its upright position. Their body is fat, covered in feathers, and it is supported by tiny legs equipped with three webbed fingers armed with small claws. They have long, slim wings which help them swimming in the cold waters of the First Planet. Their neck is nonexistent, and supports a small, rounded head with small eyes and a long beak.
Many of them had returned from the hunt in the waters, avoiding the attacks of the Vralatils, the dominant predator in these cold waters.
They made squeaking noises similar to the ones of toys, and their call could be head through the entire lake. At first it was interesting for both Pechal and Radost, but now it's just annoying. The quicker they get away from them, the better.
Many of them reaches for their chicks, who have waited them for a long time for their meal. They are completely dependent of their parents in this stage of their life.
The chicks are half their height at this point, and they wait all day for their next meal, while also playing a bit with their companions. The more they eat, the quicker they will be able to leave their parents protection. The adults vomit their hunt into the throat of the babies to feed them.
But there chicks can be in extreme danger: many predators can take advantage of those goofy looking animals for a snack, and the adult lack a true defensive system, other than mere numbers.
Movement on the side of the colony attracts the attention of it. Dneguins have to be vigilant in order to protect their young.
A small head pops up from the rocks. It stealthy closes in the colony. The Dneguins have noticed it, and are on guard.
The various adults form a wall of fat, feathery bodies to intimidate the hunter, who gets closer and closer without the colony noticing. They do not know what to do.
The predator moves even close, taking advantage of a small body of water to not be noticed. The colony is facing a fearsome raider in these beaches: a Kamra.
The funny thing of this animal is the fact that, with its 20 meters of length, it's the longest creature on the planet, and when it lifts its head from the ground, he can reaches an height of two meters.
It has a slender body that gets thicker in the middle section. It has no legs, so he most crawl around, just like a snake. In the neck area, when he relaxes the neck vertebrae, he can form a frill to appear more menacing. Its head is small and circular, with small jaws armed with long venomous fangs and small eyes.
When he raises its head up, he terrorize the colony: one drop of venom can kill anything in this planet. An adult Dneguin is no issue.
The hunter charges in, trying to create an opening in their defense by causing panic. Despite not having legs, he can move quite quickly by crawling. He points multiple times some adults, but he's not interested in them: although he can kill them, they are still too large to be eaten without the others intervening.
So he tries to break the wall in order to get to the young. But this time, the Dneguins do not break the wall. They try to bite the snake, who responds with several fake attacks to cause panic in the group.
After a while, he retreats, probably realizing that he can break the wall. The colony relax for a bit, thinking that the threat is now gone.
The wall is dispersed, and the various Dneguins continue their daily life.
It is then that a single chick, which separated himself from the group for a while, was grabbed at an incredible speed, without anyone realizing for a second.
The Kamra had returned, this time with a successful hit. The chick dies in mere instants from the raider's venom, and is swallowed whole.
Chick deaths for Dneguins colonies are numerous, and they know they have to get used to it. This is also a reason why they live in colonies: at least, against the Kamra, sheer number works.
After hours of walking, the Zublya herd and the Kolkhleritsas herd reached the steppe region. Strangely enough, there were signs of a huge battle: holes in the ground, carbonized grass, blood everywhere and the body of a Donskayashcheritsa half consumed by scavengers.
Right now, it was being consumed by two large hunters, with one of them being way larger than the other. It was a couple of Polleo.
These creatures show obvious sexual dimorphism, with the male being fairly shorter than the female, only being eight meters long and five meters high against the 14 meters of length and six meters of height of the female.
Both had a long, slender tail ending in a crown of fur at the tip. They had a robust body supported by four muscular legs equipped with four fingers with retractable claws, with the female having five in the frontal limbs. Both had strong necks, but the male had a long mane, used as a sexual display; they had powerful jaws, although the female had the most powerful of the bunch.
They were consuming the large prey with no difficulty, eating the limbs first and then concentrating on the rest.
Knowing that they have nothing to fear, several herbivores have stopped to eat by in the steppes. Herbivores capable of eating grass.
One of them was a large creature with long fur that resemble a vest, going all the way down the ground. It was a Barnir.
This eight meters long, five meters high creature inhabited the steppe regions of the First Planet alongside other three herbivores: the Chena, the Bozpyx and the Soviarogov, all in the same area at the moment.
It has a long, furry tail and a robust body with a vest like structure going down the ground, covered in osteoderms, with small circular spikes on the back. Its legs are long and slim, with hooves. Its neck is long and strong, with a long mane on its back. Its head is long, with pointy ears and large eyes. On its cheek it has butterfly wing structures. On its front, it has small horns, and its mouth is small.
The Chena is another grazer of the plains which can also inhabit mountains, but it's fairly smaller, reaching a length of four meters and a height of three.
Its tail is extremely small, and its body is muscular. It has four long, slim legs with hooves. Its neck is longer proportionally to the body, supporting a triangular head with pointy ears, large eyes and horns which form a V like structure at the tip.
The Bozpyx is probably the silliest looking animal in the herd, reaching a length of five meters and a height of four.
It has a short, slim tail and a body which is basically a ball. It had four small legs with three hooves for fingers. Its head was round with huge ears, small eyes, a small trunk and an even smaller mouth.
The Soviarogov had somewhat of a similar body print of the Belopoveritsa, but with a length of six meters and a height of two meters and a half.
It had a long tail dragging on the ground and a large body, with its belly nearly touching the ground. Its legs were long, equipped with four fingers with hooves. Its neck was short, and its head had a similar plate like structures, but it was larger and formed a large V at the end. Its head was large, with two small horns on top of the eyes and a smaller one on the nose tip. It also had a small, triangular beak.
These animals were far better adapted for the steppes than the Zublyas, the Eittans and the Belopoveritsa, which allowed them to prosper. That being said, all animals in this planet were capable to survive the harsh environment in one way or the other.
Kolkhleritsas are capable to eat grass too, but they prefer leaves over thought herbs.
One large Kolkhleritsas, all of a sudden, froze at the spot: he has noticed a threat. This Kolkhleritsas is the leader of the herd, and its job is protecting it from outside forces.
And this particular force is extremely dangerous.
Walking slowly toward the herd is one of the most fearsome hunters after the Donskayashcheritsa. It's the prince of this planet. It's a Gragla.
This powerful hunter is smaller than the Donskayashcheritsa, being nine meters high and 14 meters long, but is still a powerful force to be reckon with.
It had a long, slim tail wit spikes on the back, and a barrel like body, still armed with spikes on the back. Its legs are long and muscular, allowing him to keep an upright position, with its three fingers armed with short claws. It had two long arms equipped with two fingers, useful to hug the victim in a deadly embrace. Its necks were short and powerful. Yes, necks. It had two necks with two heads. One head, on the right, seemed less powerful, with sharp teeth adapted to rip off flesh. It had a horn on top of the large eyes. The other head had massive jaws, adapted to break bones. On the top of his head it had a survival knife like structure.
Both the hunter and the defendant got close one to the other, directly looking at each other's eyes. They circled around each other to find a weakness in their defenses. In the meantime, the rest of the herd had retired, with the Zublyas running away, leaving the two sisters and the mother Belopoveritsa alone.
The Gragla was the first to react, charging at the opponent, who dodged at the right moment. The herbivore responded with a hit with its head, damaging the back of the predator, who roared in pain.
After that, it was the Kolkhleritsas who got the initiative, charging at the opponent. With its bone crushing head, however, the hunter grabbed the head of the opponent, engaging in a tug war, before the Kolkhleritsas got free.
With its flesh ripping head, the Gragla tried to bite the opponent again, but once again he missed two times. The opponent hit him with its head on the chest, while the Gragla tried to bite him again.
The large eyes of the Kolkhleritsas allows him to dodge upcoming attack extremely well. This male is an expert in fighting.
An exchange of hits and dodges followed. At this point, the Gragla wasn't trying to bite him, but rather hit him with its horns. The same strategy was applied by the Kolkhleritsas.
The Kolkhleritsas then tail-whipped the opponent on the leg, causing him to almost fall down. When he tried the same technique again, however, the Gragla was ready. By using its bone crushing head, he grabbed the tail, holding the herbivore tight.
However, the swift movement of the legs allowed the Kolkhleritsas to kick the opponent, causing him to let go. The male Kolkhleritsas took the opportunity to ram at the opponent at full speed. The hunter felt on the ground, heavily injured.
Realizing he can't win this fight, he got up and ran as fast as he could from the Kolkhleritsas. The alpha male has once again won, roaring at the fleeing opponent.
Once the fight was over, he reached his herd once again, ready to continue the march.
Radost and Pechal are one again lost, with the mother Belopoveritsa being the only company they have. Trying to reach the herd back, they start their long march.
The three herbivores marched alongside the steppes, but something seemed to bother the two Eittan sisters. They almost feel like there is someone else around. Someone they are related too.
They do not know what this feeling is, and they are very vigilant: they have a feeling that is not something good.
The mother Belopoveritsa too feels like someone is around. But not someone familiar. Rather, something dangerous.
Then, out of a nearby rock, a large hunter came out, trying to kill the Belopoveritsa. She managed to dodge the attack, and was on a fighting position. Their attacker is a Kizstohiy.
With a length of 12 meters and a height of four, its larger than the Belopoveritsa, and it has plenty of weapons.
It has a long, flat tail with large, thick spikes on the back. Its body was muscular, with a double pile of flat spikes on the back. Its posterior limbs were the longest and most muscular, equipped with five fingers with short claws. Its frontal limbs were shorter, but were just as muscular and had five semi prehensile fingers armed with claws. It had a short neck, supporting a massive head with small eyes and nostrils. Its jaws were powerful, with the mandible having shark like teeth, while the ones in the maxilla were more like molars, but there were two sharp, long and powerful teeth on each side of the maxilla that emerged.
The two animals circled around each other to try and find a weakness. Pechal and Radost where hiding behind a rock, knowing that only the Belopoveritsa can win.
The Kizstohiy was the first to attack, trying to bite the head of the Belopoveritsa. He was nearly hit by the horns of the female, and he tried a second attack, anticipated by a fake one.
On the second attempt, he nearly jumped on the back of the animal in order to bite the back of the head, trying to kill the opponent.
The frill of the Belopoveritsa however prevented the operation, allowing her to get up and continue the fight. The hunter tried to get one of the legs of the Belopoveritsa, but was nearly hit by her.
The Kizstohiy bit the frill of the Belopoveritsa, but was thrown away by her. He then tried to bite the horn, scratching her head with its claws, but she resisted. She even got an hit on the nose of the hunter.
After staying on the defense for so long, she went on the offensive, charging at the opponent, nearly lifting him. He felt on the ground, and was hit multiple times by the horn of the Belopoveritsa.
After three or four hits, the hunter managed to grab the horn and pin the head of the Belopoveritsa, scratching the head and the back of the female with its claws.
The female managed to throw him up a bit, which caused him to get on the back of the female. This was for a short time, however, as she managed to get him off just in time and continued to hit him with her horn. However, a small moment of distraction was her doom.
While hitting the opponent, she showed her throat a bit too much. As such, the Kizstohiy took the opportunity to grab the throat of the victim with such a powerful bite, he nearly killed her. After shaking the herbivore a bit, she was officially killed.
The two sisters walked away from the site of the kill, where the large Kizstohiy ripped off large chucks of meat with its powerful jaws.
They ventured the region alone, once again.
The traverse was not calm, however. Just a few minutes away from the Kizstohiy kill, another one of these powerful carnivores appeared in front of the two sisters.
Tired, hungry and unable to run away because of fear, they both remained still. Radost charged at the opponent to try to intimidate it. She was quickly pushed away by the much larger hunter, which had intention to eat her.
However, the most surprising thing then happened.
Pechal, that for the most of the travel had to be protected by Radost, decided to intervene in the fight. She stomped her feet, and roared at the much larger threat. This was the first act of bravery from Pechal, the sickly child who now seems to be ready to challenge all the opponents in the world.
Of course, the Kizstohiy was not afraid. Not even with the combined efforts of Pechal and Radost he could be intimidated. He was ready to move for the kill.
Then, something incredible happened.
Before he could launch himself at the two sisters, a large dome head hit him at full force, sending him flying up in the sky. The hit must have caused the predator to fly for ten meters, only to crash on the ground like a ragdoll.
The two sisters looked at the new attacker. It was their mother.
They reached her, stroking her nose in pure joy to finally meet again with their mother. Even the siblings arrived at the scene, very different from last time: Strakh seems braver, no longer being the coward of the family alongside Pechal. Gnev is way more gentle and caring, and is not as aggressive as before. Ahida stroked the nose of both Pechal and Radost, not feeling any kind of disgust.
It seemed like the experience helped both the mother and the young to grow up in this harsh land.
In the distance, the Eittan mother then sees something familiar. The same thing is saw by her children.
An Eittan herd is walking in the steppe. It is accompanied by a Kolkhleritsas herd. It's the same herd who accompanied the two sisters in their adventure in the forest. It's the same alpha male who fought off the Gragla.
After being accepted by both herds, the family started to do what they started in this story: marching, but this time, they have change. And most importantly, they are not alone.
