Tynebris doesn't notice the head shattered till a few shards barely pierce his scales on his head. Luckily he closed his eyes shortly before they hit him. Afterwards he opened his eyes and spots something glow through the cracks from the torso. He shifts his attention to the torso as he also breathes fire there instead.
((A note to all: As soon as the attack on Tynebris is over, may I have the rp timeskip a couple days so that the Secrystice can reach the rest of us?))
Apparently, the kind of crystal this creature is made of lacks heat resistance. The torso breaks up and shatters in parts, eventually revealing a glowing, thick spherical crystal that is different from the rest of the crystal body. The crystal is truly more resistant to the heat, as it does not even crack beneath the flame.

Tynebris stops breathing and then spots the spherical crystal. He freezes in astonishment over the glowing property of it. The dragon looks at it and starts wondering about it, try to destroy it or try to take it. He comes to the conclusion of trying to remove it. Tynebris gently grabs it with his teeth and safely removes it. Afterwards he briefly looks at the Secryst and starts walking away. Suddenly he is interrupted by his hunger and remembers about the Tritor. The black-scaled dragon slowly walks over to the corpse, placed the glowing crystal on the ground and continues eating the corpse.
Some faint stomping can be heard. it grows louder, with what sounds like a couple more giants. Soon, another Secryst comes towards Tynebris. This Secryst is a deep red and is almost twice bigger than the Secryst slain. Other than this dangerous newcomer, one can in the distance see others of its kind through the forest leaves and branches. All of them vary in size, but not one is smaller than a Tritor.

Tynebris feels again something, but he ignores it like the last time. Nevertheless, he looks in the direction of the stomps and spots a Secryst closing in. The black-scaled dragon is aware that he would have lost against the first Secryst if he wouldn't have had the sudden growth. Furthermore he wasn't injured before the battle, this time he is.
Tynebris leaves the corpse alone and grabs the glowing crystal. Once he grabbed it with his teeth he launches into the air flying high enough to be safe from them. From above he then spots more Secrystice and hovers in fear. The area is overrun by them, there is no way he could get back to his cave without any battle.
The dragon remains in the air, clueless of what he shall do now. He lost access to his cave and he is not capable of fighting the Secrystice in his current state. His day already started terrible and it only worsens. Tynebris decides to fly west, seeing that the most of the spotted Secrystice came from the east.
((It is understandable that everyone is inactive because of the holidays, so don't be worried about being cut from the rp and I am happy to catch people up on what is going on the rp.
I am fast forwarding four days. I have decided this because it looks like everyone's character are not in anything that would be hurt by a timeskip. If anyone is upset by the timeskip, let me know.))
The Secrystice, these scary crystalline beings have reached the large region that races like Apes, Mantisects, Skirenn, and many unique creatures reside. Although, some of the Secrystice split up to go towards some of the energy sources they since, so not all of them are in one spot.
Three Secrystice find their way to the Mantisect colony that is north of the apes. The foremost one is smaller and thus moves through the subtropical forest more easily, and thus enters the colony first. Seeing the source of the energy it detected from a distance (the Mantisects), it walks forward and attempts to grab one.
Five Secrystice have been walking towards the apes through the grassland, thus were spotted by the apes early on. The apes, who are use to meeting new creatures now that are intelligent and friendly, think that these giants are friendly.
The ape colony that lives on the western border of the grassland have called themselves the Prime Apes, because they have most of the individuals of the original colony before the colony split. Thus far, Anna and the rest do not know what has become of group of apes that made up 1/3 of the original colony size. The leader is at the center of attention as many apes gather to question him what to do concerning the greeting of these large, gleaming creatures that are heading towards them.
"Are they safe" One ape asked.
"Of course they're safe! So many creatures we have met previously have been nice. Plus, these creatures don't look like carnivores." Another ape replied.
"Should we meet with them?" Another asked.
Meanwhile, Anna and some others, nay, the whole colony has a small, nagging feeling that they aren't friendly. (#78)

(( Before timeskip: )) Tynebris successfully escapes from the army of Secrystice.
(( While timeskip: )) The dragon is wounded too much to have longer flights and thus requires multiple breaks between flights. The first 3 short flights were the most painful ones, the later ones didn't hurt as much due to him getting used to the pain. The most worth mentioning break was the fourth one. Tynebris felt safe enough to rest for two days. He didn't recover much from the battle, instead the wounds even worsen. He proceeded putting pressure onto his wounds by ignoring the wounds. After one night he started thinking about the Secryst and the "heart" he was able to remove from one of them. The dragon still doesn't know why he is taking it with him. Even on the following day he was thinking about the "heart". Confusing himself even more. On the third day he continued flying westwards, searching for a decent cave. He finds a cave, which barely is big enough for him to get in.
(( After timeskip: ))
He wakes up in his temporarily cave. He didn't sleep well, hence the cave is just big enough that he can curl up. It's a rare occasion that he doesn't yawn once he wakes up, indicating that he really didn't sleep too well. He squeezes out of the cave and stretches his wings, getting ready to release his anger on an innocent animal and to satisfy his hunger.

The mantisect the secrystice was attempting to grab tried to get out of the way, but the crystal being managed to grab one of its legs. The other mantisects quickly reacted, circling around the secrystice. However, many of them doubted that they could even make a dent in this creatures rock-like armor

After the ape settled we did too, at a river further south. But ((after time skip)) a crystalline being burst through the trees. It killed the first Skirenn it could find and severely injuredanother. We all ran away from it, and we eventually got caught again by the being. It slammed its fist into the ground behind us and the shockwave flung me into a tree, others in the river, unlucky ones against rocks.

In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Tynebris soars up into the sky, angered by the terrible sleep. There are occasionally weak wind breezes, but none strong enough to get the dragon's attention. He slowly flies around searching for prey. However he gets distracted by his thoughts about the Secryst. On one side he fears them, he almost would have been killed by one; but on the other hand he is angry at them because of their hostility
((Opel: Alright.
Scorpi: That post you made is your 42nd.))
A single Secryst spots Aleya and Draire, approaching them with its arms stretched out.
The Secryst looks at the other creatures of the same kind gathering about it, tapping it (it doesn't hurt, so it feels like tapping). It reaches with its other hand to grab a mantisect, bending over to do so. If a bunch of mantisects were to jump on it with as much force as possible, they could knock it down and set their fellow mantisect free...
As for the Skirenn, though they are facing a particularly fast Secryst, the Secryst they are facing is the smallest of the assaulting Secrystice. This creature may not be hurt by claws or teeth, but if one notices, rock against rock is damaged, so why not apply the same concept in this situation?
The apes are surprised when it picks up an ape, the ape frightened and yelling to be put down. The Secryst kills the ape by biting it and sucking out something (not blood or anything of the body). It drops the limp, dead ape to the ground as it goes for the rest of the apes.
Anna and the others watched helplessly as a fellow ape is picked up and killed. Now, her and all the other apes are running in the direction of the Mantisects, hoping to seek refuge with them because of this monster. Anna and the others don't know that the Mantisects are also getting attacked. (#79)

He continues to fly, still thinking about the Secryst. All of a sudden he is interrupted by his hunger and concentrates again on hunting. Shortly afterwards he spots a dear and immediately dives at it, killing it with a bite to the neck and impact. He is about to eat the deer as suddenly he hears yelling. The yelling catches his attention and makes him curious what could be yelling. He grabs the dear with his teeth and flies up into the air, searching for whatever could possibly have yelled.

I wake suddenly and the being seems to have cracked it's hand. But then it walks to the lifeless body of a Skirenn and brings it to its lips, sucking, as if it were drinking from it. It's hand heals and it yells. I fall out of the tree, suprised, and fall to the ground, landing in a patch of leaves. It hears me fall and looks my way. I start to run and it gives chase. I dive into a small crevice in a rocky cliff face, and it slams into the rock. I hear it groan and it seems to be even more cracked.

It's eating their soul.... xD)) Aleya picks her head up and sees a strange crystaline creature walking towards them, She hisses at it, Hoping to frighten it off.When she sees it continue to pad she gives another hiss, This one much louder. Draire gets up at the hissing and sees the creature as well, The 2 begin to hiss and shake their feathers menacingly.....To no apparent avail.
((Actually, it eats a certain energy, not the soul. You know that mysterious energy that makes certain creatures, nay, sometimes whole species change all the sudden? That is what the Secrystice eat, but they aren't capable of taking it from the very air, so they suck it with creatures affected by it. The more saturated (changed) or numerous creatures are, the easier to detect AND the more desirable.
Minor correction to Scorpi: They don't groan or anything, but anyways, good job thus far in the destruction of that Secryst!
By the way...Merry Christmas/Holidays/Tuesday everyone!))
The apes throw sticks, stones, whatever they can to deter the monster other than yelling and running. Some particularly heavy rocks when thrown or dropped with enough force seems to do some damaged. Anna temporarily leaves the colony without anyone noticing to go visit the Skirenn and warn them. (#80)
The Secryst continues walking towards Draire and Aleya, not fazed by their intimidation attempts.
Aleya's feathers begin to bristle as the creature walks closer, Not frightened by their attempts.She looks to Draire and murmurs "We have to run...This thing....I dont know...Its like its not even alive!" Draire nods and adds "Almost like its made of dirt.."When they turn around the so-called creature is almost in front of them, Aleya gives a screech of fright and runs in the opposite direction for a few moments, Draire, However, Begins to slash at the creature, Attempting to wound it.(Oh so it eats the evolutions sorta? O.o?)
((alright guys I am back from my family trip... and from being sick.... and from finals! Yay. so time skip.... Ill just jump to the time you guys are now.))
The Secryst swung wildly at the Avis Mortis. They dived in then quickly flew away before it had the chance to strike the birds. A group of females dived at the strange being and showed their talons. It was like a wall of daggers that came crashing into the creature. Although the talons did not pierce the brute force made it stagger before two Avis dropped a large stone on it head crushing its upper half.
"What as that thing?" one shouted from the flock.
"It was something we saw not to long ago!"
Srio turned to everyone and shouted "Protect the young ones. Every one else patrol the mountain!" #18
The mantisects stared at the crystal creature, wondering what to do. It wasn't until the captured mantisect cried for help that they came back to their senses. It looked like the creature was very heavy, and not all that stable. The leader looked around, and then nodded his head. The mantisects jumped towards the creature as one, hoping that most of them would hit the crystal thing
