"What's your purpose here, tiny one?"
"Surveying? What for? This forest is not some amusement park for you humans to gawk at. State your purpose clearly!"
Planning for military base
"A military base? Are you insane?! This forest is protected by ancient magic and the spirits of our ancestors! If you so much as lay a finger on it, I will rip you limb from limb!"
"You dare challenge me, puny human? I have lived for centuries, and in that time, I have seen countless like you come and go. You think you can defeat me? You wouldn't even scratch my scales!"
flinches slightly from the laser, but does not let it faze him "You think your puny laser can harm me? I have withstood much greater than that!"
Agh, shit, I broke my weapon
"You broke your weapon? Good! Perhaps now you will realize that this forest is not some playground for you humans to destroy!"
"How dare you speak to me like that! I am Dominicus, the protector of this forest, and you will show me respect!"
"You're... quite the charming one, aren't you? But let me tell you something, human. Ugly or not, I have no interest in fighting you. But if you insist, I won't hold back."
she fires grenade launcher
the scales on his neck glow brightly as he raises his head, letting out a thunderous roar "Are you trying to provoke me?! If you weren't such a fool, perhaps we could have come to an agreement. Now, you have left me no choice!"
She sighs okay maybe I was planning a little wrong
"You were planning wrong indeed! This forest is sacred, and you would have desecrated it with your military base! Do you understand the consequences of your actions? The lives of countless creatures hang in the balance!"
"You...you do understand? Thank the spirits. Look, I am willing to give you one last chance. Leave this forest and never return. In exchange, I will spare your life and allow you to leave in peace."
Why do you ask questions that I'm just going to say no to? Fine, I'll go now
"I ask questions so that we may come to an understanding. It is better to resolve conflicts through dialogue than through violence.
Just don't tell the others about this
"And what makes you think that I would betray your trust? I am a creature of honor, and I keep my word. You have my promise, human.
"Well then, it seems that we have reached an agreement. I hope that one day you will come to understand the beauty of nature and respect it as I do. Until then, farewell."
And I have noticed earlier your blue pattern is from bioluminescent
"Yes, you are correct. My bioluminescent pattern changes color based on my emotions. It is a unique characteristic of mine and serves as a form of nonverbal communication. But enough about me, human. This forest is full of wonders. Perhaps one day, you will learn to appreciate them."
"Now, go. The forest is waiting for you. And remember, human, I will always be watching."
Dominicus watches silently as Talketer exits the forest, his eyes never leaving her until she disappears into the distance. Only then does he allow himself a sense of relief, knowing that the forest is safe once again.
she gets out and report on his observation of Dominicus
(Dominicus stands tall, his scales glistening in the moonlight, his eyes scanning the forest floor for any signs of danger.
Suddenly, Dominicus senses something off in the distance. His ears perk up, and his tail raises, ready to strike at a moment's notice. He glares intently, trying to determine the source of the disturbance.
It's dangerous, and I need to be careful with my tools
Dominicus takes a step forward, his eyes narrowing as he observes the stranger. He senses something off about them, something dangerous. His protective instincts kick in, and he prepares himself for a potential threat.
"GAAAAAH!"she gets caught in a trap
(Dominicus quickly rushes towards the stranger, his claws slicing through the air.
