Eats a fae

I could feel the heat on my back, but I was still wet from being in the lake, and the water insulated me somewhat from the heat. The thing had to be in a great deal of pain if it was thinking this unclearly. It dropped the glamour, and I could finally see it for what it was.

It was facing me, and that was a mistake. It was chewing desperately away at my face, and so I formed two tentacles with mouths at the end of them, and I started chewing away at its eyes. I could feel spear points plunging into my back, but they were attacking it with even more vigor. Most of the spears failed to penetrate, but a few managed to find the weak spots in between joints and they plunged home.

A shift, and we were on a rocky shoreline in the dark.

My mouths plunged deeper into its skull and a moment later I could feel it shutter and go still under me.
