Calm Before The Storm

Outside the Cave of the Scaled Beasts

Every beasts that was living inside the cave had gone out. They were bathing in the sun raising their internal heat.

Just like their normal counterparts, most of the scaled beasts were reptiles and cold blooded. They needed the heat of the sun to make their internal heat higher.

There were no others beasts around them as they were scared by the presence this scaled beasts were giving off.

These beasts were readying their bodies for war. They were here to avenge their brother!

" Just wait until I get my jaws on those fleshy humans. " The Giant Lizard said with resentment in its voice as it continued to bask in the sun.

" Ah! Just relax while you still can stupid lizard. " A Crocodile lying upside down said. This was the laziest one among them.

" Who are you calling a stupid lizard? " The Dragon that was basking in the sun shouted.

" Not you! I mean this stupid lizard! Gah! Why don't we have names? " The crocodile was getting irritated as this had happened many times already.

" Well you definitely can't call someone here a reptile because most of us are reptiles according to those humans. " The tiny snake said.

" Should we consider calling ourselves with names? Like those humans does? " The fish with legs said. It was hiding in a shade as it doesn't want its body to dry or it will become a dried fish.

" Good idea! Then I'll be called snake, Lizard will be lizard, crocodile will be crocodile, fish is fish and dragon is dragon! " The Tiny Snake said.

" Wait isn't that all the same? " The Lizard was confused.

" Gah forget about names! Let's just heat up our body and kill those humans. Then we will talk about names. " The Dragon said.

These group of scaled beasts were talking to each other peacefully. If you didn't know they were getting ready to kill someone, you might think they were just a friendly group of beasts.

Early in the morning, Richard woke up with a big yawn. Inside their tent was a space the size of a house with luxurious furnitures inside. This was a very special tent reserved only for the richest!

Daisy brewed coffee for Richard to drink. They were still groggy after just waking up.

" Darling~ wipe that saliva off of your face. " Daisy giggled as there was hardened saliva on the side of Richard's face.

Richard went on to wipe his face and took a cup of coffee from Daisy. He went outside to see an unfamiliar sight.

' Wait? Where are we again? ' Richard momentarily forgot that they were hunting as he had slept so comfortably.

' Ah! Right we were hunting. ' Richard sat down in a chair and sipped his coffee as he watched the scenery.

" Oh, you unfilial piece of shit you woke up early. " Steve came out with a coffee in his hand. He sat down in a chair.

" Shut up you dirty old man. "

Both of them became silent as they watched the scenery and sipped their morning coffee.

Ron was still peacefully sleeping, turning around time after time. He was still a child who needed a lot of sleep after all. Snow was sleeping with him. She was being treated like a hugging pillow by Ron.

Daisy came out of the tent with her tea, she liked tea a lot more than a coffee. Seeing that both the father and son was silent, she just sat down and watched the scenery as she sipped her tea.

The sorroundings were very peaceful, bird were singing and the sky was very clear. Some animals could be seen hopping around and the lake in front of their camp looked so clear and beautiful.

Everyone was charmed by the beauty of this place.

Suddenly, everybody saw an adorable looking deer happily hopping towards the lake. When it reached the lake, it lowered its head to drink some water.

The deer looked so cute drinking water form the lake which made Daisy's heart melt.

' OH! So cute~ ' The Deer's eyes was very cute and it was also very cute when it leaned down to drink.

Suddenly, everyone saw the water rippled. There was something in the lake that was sneaking towards the deer.

' Oh no! Get out of there! ' Everyone wanted to warn the deer but it was too late.

A Giant Piranha jumped out of the lake and bit down on the deer. The deer wasn't able to react at all as it was dragged down towards the lake.

" Noooooooo!!!! How dare that fish kill that Deer! I was gonna shoot that thing! " Steve said, lowering down his rifle.

" Shut up Old Man! That thing was mine! " Richard said while lowering his rifle.

Daisy didn't notice when both of them got their rifles out and aimed at the deer. She saw that their cups of coffee were in their chair.

" Wah... You jerks! How could you even think of shooting something that cute! " Daisy was angry at the fact that both of them tried to shoot that adorable deer.

" Oh come on My Love! Forget about that deer! How dare that fish take my target! " Richard was very angry about the fish.

He was ready to pull the trigger at that time!

" You know what! Let's fish it out and kill it! " Steve said, also irritated at the fish.

" Let's make it our lunch today! " Daisy had already forgotten about her anger towards the father and son. She really wanted to kill that fish right now.

Ron came out of his tent while rubbing his eyes, he woke up from the commotion outside.

" Mom, what is happening? " Ron asked while rubbing his eyes.

" Ron! We're going fishing today! " Daisy said while Richard and Steve nodded their heads.

Steve stood up to take out their fishing equipments.

" Oh, okay... Mom, I'm hungry. " Ron said.

' Ah! I forgot we haven't eaten breakfast yet. ' Everyone suddenly felt hungry when they heard Ron said that he was hungry.

" Wait a minute. I'm going to cook some breakfast. " Daisy went to cook their breakfast.

They were going to eat first before hunting that giant fish.
