Just Another Day

"Do you have any idea what kind of life I've had because of your stupid decision?" Shanku growled vehemently as the Elder tried to go into a long lecture. That twinge in her chest was burning and how her teeth itched so!

"Oh, jeepers, here we go," Katari muttered. Waves of almost a tangible sense of aggression were pulsing from her and Katari cautiously took a step away.

"I had to fight a minocentaur and nether monsters to save a town from being eaten. I got stuck on a ship with a crabby crewman and a chef obsessed with potatoes for years, then my entire crew was slaughtered before my eyes by pirates who then kidnapped me and made me turn into a big, angry hairball. Then, when I escaped them, I was taken prisoner by a bunch of big, angry hairballs who made me haul grit for a bleedin' dragon, who later sent me to work in a smothering forge with an overbearing dwarven smith! On my way home, I got caught in a blizzard and nearly froze to death. I went toe to toe with a yeti to protect one of the Arctic Kurach and then I got threatened by a priestess because of the stupid Sylvan raids!" Shanku drew herself up to her full height, her ears laid back and her wings flaring around her dangerously as her growls became more aggressive.

"And that's not the worst of it. I was taught how to hunt by humans and a cat. A cat! What Kurach is taught to hunt by a dang cat!?" A blue aura started to form around her. "You have failed in your duties as an Elder. You are a disappointment far worse than I ever was!" With a sharp growl, Shanku felt herself transform into her feral form. She jabbed a clawed finger in his direction. "Don't you dare start in with that 'hope you learned your lesson' crap again, and don't even think about trying to exile me again, because I'll be teaching you a lesson this time! The whole clane could die and all you care about is your arrogant, irrelevant rules!"
