Soaring threw the sky, the avian contently stalked its prey from above. Despite the distance that separated them he was able to see the land dweller quite clearly. The other had just finished a battle with another, larger, land dweller and appeared to be injured. It was a good time to strike but if he waited only a little longer it would be the perfect time. The one below had set its mind on moving away from the scene after eating its share and although it was mostly healed its body showed signs of fatigue. It was slowly running out of energy. There must have been disruptive damaging to the body. It must have been bitten and no longer could use its meals to make itself stronger. That would lessen its will to fight back. He would be able to swoop in and end its misery swiftly.
Turning around he created some space to begin his dive. Tucking in his wings it was decided. The time was right to strike. Picking up speed quickly, it wouldn't be very long until the distance between his prey and himself was closed. Tensing his talons he grinned as much as his beak would allow. The excitement was getting to him. He had a strong and powerful beast before him and he would take it down and add its power to his own. He had been feasting on weak prey for too long but he would no longer do so. After this meal his full transformation into an Adjuchas would be complete. Forming yellow energy at the end of each talon he prepared.
His talons enclosed upon his prey, the bala he had been charging shooting into its flesh. Cawing in delight, he quickly realized that his prey had escaped him. "I was aware of your presence before I fought the other," he heard a deep voice call out from behind him. Landing he quickly turned to see the wolf adjuchas standing before him. This wasn't good, he had been tricked. The image of the wolf that he was now seeing was in perfect health. No limp or signs of fatigue. Yet the one in which he had had in his grasps disappeared. It had been an afterimage. This one was much stronger then he had anticipated.
"So you are a little craftier then I expected," he spat as he faced his adversary. It appeared as though it would come to a dual and he found himself hoping that the illusion of the wolf's injuries weren't all an illusion. Ducking his head he prepared a cero and sent it flying to begin the battle. Quickly taking to the air he needed to take the little advantage his being would grant him. The wolf would be limited to the ground and so despite being able to use attacks like the cero, Tzeipor would have the advantage. He was at his best in the air and with help from his keen eyes was able to better react to his opponents attacks.
Thinking himself a safe distance from the ground, Tzeipor leveled to see where his opponent was and was shocked to see him coming for him. Quickly maneuvering out of the way he instinctively shot another cero at the wolf, this time hitting it in the back. Watching the wolf fall to the ground, he wasn't about to waste time and decided to dive in one more time. The wolf was ready for it again but this time it had chosen to take the offensive. Charging a cero of its own, as soon as it landed it turned and launched it at Tzeipor. Just have been able to launch one of his own, Tzeipor fought back the energy with his own but the concoctive force was a little much and all though it changed his course of flight he had the wolf marked.
Coming out of the cloud created from the opposing blasts Tzeipor quickly landed so that he could change his direction and flew back towards the cloud firing a cero blast. His eyes could pick up little details and he could see where the clouds had been disturbed by his enemy who had also seen it fit to get through. Firing to where the evidence pointed he was reassured when he heard the grunting and impact of his attacks. His eyes had not failed him yet again. Flying through he could see the Adjuchas land on its side. It could have been another trick but he was feeling good about it this time. Landing on it he dug his talons into its body and fired the bala one more time. Cawing in delight, he had taken down the adjuchas. Bending his head over he began to pick away at its flesh, feeding and drawing in its power.
