for @austerulous, farkas.

He didn’t think he’d be found fighting alongside a lycanthrope—especially this lycanthrope. Some weres held their vampiric brethren with respect, but these were few and far between. Lycanthropes and vampires were oft pitted like mongoose and viper; natural and violent and bloody. It was rare for two to be found working together.

Erosandros didn’t have much time to dwell upon this reality. His back bumped with the Nord’s—the other taller, broader—and his gaze flashed downcast upon the large, gaping wound perched on the man’s flank. Now, normally, he’d take his sweet time closing the wound, to ensure it was all done well and proper. But right now? He didn’t have that luxury.

Not with an onslaught of bandits intent on ripping their throats and pockets asunder.

Erosandros slapped his open palm over the wound and poured a great amount of restoration into the injury. It healed, fast and accurate. He didn’t have to bother pretending that he wasn’t an excellent mage and even better healer.

Not to Farkas.

Erosandros spun back around, knees crooked, magick at the ready. He’d already ruptured the hearts of three bandits, expanding their valves until the organs simply couldn’t take it anymore and—pop. Death washed over the three as swift as a theatre production gone wrong, curtains careening across the stage, darkness becoming nothing if not fatally familiar.

An outward flick of one hand, magicka roping around the neck of one woman. The vampire was a split moment away from spinning her head on her spine’s axis, snapping connection from her brain to the remainder of her body—then he caught sight of something in the corner of his eye.

Just a second too late.

Arrows. One, in his left shoulder. One, in his right bicep. Two, in his left thigh.

And one lodged through his throat.

Blackened blood dripped from his lips. His vision spiralled into fuzz and watercolour blotches, lightness filling his skull and legs crumbling unto knees.

He almost didn’t have a choice, for what happened next.

He screamed. A deep, haunting scream that sounded more animal than human. A cacophony of bones breaking and remaking themselves filled the air. Muscle was rent asunder, only to piece back together, thicker and bigger and stronger. His skin blanched, sapped dry of colour and smoothness, for grey leather took place where brown suppleness once reigned. His coat, his trousers, expanded until they tore, left as naught but tattered rags below. Large bat-like wings unfurled from his upper spine, extending lowly near nirn, and thick talons drove hearty into dirt.

Where once stood was a man, was now a monster. A giant, grotesque monster.

Victor is one of the oldest dragons. He fought in the magic war and guarded a magic relic for centuries. He only had one problem, why do humans believe he hides a princess in his castle? But he does enjoy looking at the foolish knight who come to save her.

Herp of the day: Guatemalan palm pitviper

The Guatemalan palm pitviper (Bothriechis bicolor) is a venomous pit viper species found in southern Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. The specific name refers to the contrasting ventral and dorsal colors.

Adults are usually 60–70 centimetres (24–28 in) in length, but may reach 100 centimetres (39 in), and the body is relatively slender. The color pattern consists of a green or bluish green ground color. Usually this is without any pattern, but sometimes specimens from Mexico have black flecks and dots and/or blue blotches.

RAAAAAAAAAGH

Y'all ain't ready for this one (It's not that special.. well, it is to me) MAGNA. VIRIDIS. MORTIS. THE GREEN DEAAAAATH.

This guy.... just UPGRADED

It's taken on a MUCH more crocodilian appearance, BUT.. it's still based on yellow blotched palm pit vipers. It's basically a glitter techno troll.. but serpent-like.

Honestly the colors are like the biggest pain imo.. but yeah, I went with more dull and dark colors cuz'.. it's jsut what I like more.
