Hello again readers! This is your second installment of Radscorpion Queen: Ascent to Power! If I could add more exclamations I would, but that would be entirely too juvenile, the great Radscorpion Queen would have my entrails ripped from my living flesh if I did so. AND SO, ONTO THE STORY!
Before that horrid day, our great Queen was but a babe; a small Radscorpion just like all others. However, unlike the others, she was meant for greater things! And so, the story begins (for real this time)…
The sun beating down on her pale white skin was the first thing to great her in this life. Clicking her approval for such a harsh land, she looked about…only to see that she was not alone. She had others that were on top of this blackened mount. This was highly unacceptable; whatever they were riding needed to be only for her. Sharing is always out of the question when you are meant for greatness, which she already knew. Knowing how utterly awesome she was meant to be, she made haste off of this dark colored mount, clicking her mandibles in anger as she made contact with the sand below. Her shell was not meant for this yet, she needed to stay on the mount-NO, WHERE DID IT GO? She clicked fervently trying to gain the attention of the mount, where ever it may have gone. However it was already too late, she was now alone in a harsh environment (which was totally okay with her, she was meant for great things so this is nothing she couldn't handle).
This was a mere stepping stone to greatness, at least that's what she told herself as she scurried for cover as if her life depended on it. As she ran something had noticed her. This was once again, only a mere stepping stone to her greatness. This something would be no match for her! She could easily outrun it, though she could easily kill the creature with a mere glance if she so wished, however she was willing to be generous this day. As she scurried away, the damn thing had the gall to make chase after her, and to think she was going to let this thing live.
This thing however was a worthy advisory; it actually caught up to her. Of course it would have never caught up to her if she wasn't already being so kind, giving it a sense of worth was what a good conqueror of the land was supposed to do after all. She turned to face off with her aforementioned—HOLY DICKS THAT THING IS HUGE.
She stood her ground, much like David and Goliath; she shall not fear this giant thing. She would smite this thing much like how the Moses defeated Jesus at the battle of Babylon! She was reading like frantic, this book that she was using as a rudimentary shield was flipping through pages like crazy (And yes all Radscorpion's know how to read naturally, it's that rad that makes it possible). She was now shaking in fea—in horror of what she was going to do to this giant creature. Oh the things that she would do once it got close enough! All would bow down before her as a killer of that giant creature that dared to chase her. All would hear the tale how she took down such a giant of a thing. Stories would be told for generations!
However the giant creature had other ideas, it picked her up. Yes the giant creature picked her up, her this utterly defenseless adorable FEARSOME soon to be ruler of all that can be seen by all, UP! How dare it! The thing looked her over a bit. Probably trying to discern how something so tiny could be so awesome…yes! That it exactly what it was doing; nothing about eating her or crushing her underneath one of its two feet. That would be out of the question for her, she after all was destined for greater things than to be eaten up so early in her great life. This giant thing then did something unexpected, it became her mount. Oh how she was wrong in almost killing it, she should have known this was one of her followers. Why else would this thing be so big? Only one of her devoted lackeys would work so hard to look so fearsome that it made even her, with her fearless gaze question her fearlessness!
This was the beginning of a wonderful partnership. The giant, she named it Steven. Steven is an excellent lackey name; all lackeys should be named Steven. Steven began to walk, such an excellent mount really. Steven fed her like a good lackey would, and even made a bed for her at night. She was sure to make Steven her number one...thing. He was surely the most fearsome of her followers. Most indefinitely.
