Chapter Eight

To Mersang: Mersang, Apex Level Intelligence is the highest level of Intelligence. Eppix Level Intelligence is a whole other division altogether. OK? Oh, by the way, everyone is free to ask me questions; I'll answer them in my chappies.

A Hork-Bajir leapt right at me!

Fwapp!

He went down.

TSEEW! TSEEW! TSEEW! TSEEW!

Dracon fire all around me! Guttural cries of Hork-Bajir.

Aaaaaaah!

A near miss burned a semicircle into my shoulder.

I staggered. Someone was sure to get me.

But no one did. I was pretty safe. Because in all the confusion, the Controllers were starting to shoot each other.

I dashed over to a bush and leapt in.

The bushes were hollow-like. They were thick and prickly outside, but they had a sort of chamber in the center.

Unfortunately, there were two large Hork-Bajir inside.

"Ghafrash!"

Fwapp!

Thanks to my training, I remembered that there was a particularly fleshy spot in a Hork-Bajir's neck. My tail had no trouble slicing through that fleshy spot, enabling me to keep my tail moving at a very high speed.

This was how I was able to kill two Hork-Bajir with one tail swipe.

I hid in the bush and mentally thanked my trainer aboard the Dome Ship. He had forced me to remember Hork-Bajir anatomy. If it wasn't for him, I might be dead.

I hid out in the bush. And I morphed to kafit bird.
