Old Rivals

By Kashu Arashi

Touda grinned, twisting the Ki-rin's arm with one clawed hand, pushing the frail creature's face into the dirt with the other. "It's been a long time." His hips snapped forward, burying himself between his old rival's flanks. The Ki-rin screamed. "You've gotten weak."

"You try being joined to a...a mortal body. See how strong you a...are."

Touda laughed. "You never did have the strength to actually heal yourself." He leaned over and hissed. "Then again, apparently in this form, you couldn't heal others either."

The Ki-rin twisted his head far enough to glare upwards with his glass eye. "Fuck you."
