A deafening roar of agony sounded out through the mountains. Blood poured down a black scaled neck like a waterfall. As the fangs tightened around the creature's neck it bellowed and struggled against the strangling grip of a green creature's jaws, only succeeding in sinking the teeth deeper into the creature's flesh. The black beast felt the heat raising and saw bubbling lave surging towards the brim of the deep gouge in the rock. Desperation gave it strength and it swung its clawed arm at the green creature's face. The claws sunk into the beast's face and it let go for a second. That was all the black creature needed. It spun around and closed its jaws around the green beast's neck. It tasted the metallic taste of blood in its mouth. The green creature roared and tried to shake it of. In the struggle the two came close to the lave pit. A bubble popped and magma splashed on the black creature's right leg. It burned through the skin and flesh of the flank and the leg collapsed and the beast fell on its side. The green creature took advantage and lowered its head and charged the black beast. It tried to stand but its leg slipped and it fell into the hole. It drove its claws into the rock and tried to haul itself up. But it was too heavy and the ground collapsed and it fell screaming, into the lava. It felt a second of extreme torture before its body burnt away.
