If even I know that the monster is too strong for a baby to deal with anymore, the others couldn't possibly not know the very same thing, right? Are they seriously just going to keep sending their offspring to the slaughter?
As his thoughts were raging like a typhoon in his head, the Amazonesses sent in another of their newborns. His vision narrowed as his thoughts stopped. Oluta nodded and the hands restraining Shurry's body loosened.
The monster inside the mini arena slowly stepped towards the baby Amazoness. A defiant glare came from deep within the baby's eyes. Even though she wasn't strong enough to kill the monster in front of her, it was clear she didn't give a damn. It was like a natural instinct of the Amazoness, "beat me if you can". The monster let out a crackling laugh, it was enjoying this. To it, there was just more food to be had… It opened its mouth… and reached forward to grab its next meal, saliva dripping to the sandy floor with every movement.
NO!
Shurry transformed into his wolf form, ripping the traditional Telskyura clothing he was wearing as the stretchiness was overwhelmed with the larger size of the transformation. He ran on all fours at high speed, even surprising the Amazoness who was about to intervene. He ran straight into the arena, lowering his head just a bit, and rammed directly into the monster's right side. As the monster was sent flying into the wall with extreme force, he lifted his head and got between the monster and the baby Amazoness.
The monster spitting up blood as it collided with the wall, and fell to the sandy floor, screeched angrily. Turning to meet the gaze of its assailant with a beady fury in its eyes. Its expression soon began to twist as an indescribable fear invaded its mind and body, the sight was, terrifying.
Shurry in his wolf form bared his teeth with a deadly glare, looking deep into his eyes, one could tell he was imagining all of the ways he was going to tear the monster apart. His growling reverberated the loose sand particles around his four paws. His fur stood on end, as his body crouched forward, ready to pounce at his target.
This moment of tension between the two didn't last long. The monster turned to try and run away, futile. Shurry chased after it, catching it in just a blink of an eye, delivering a bite along the monster's shoulder blade, sinking his teeth deep into the monster's body, crushing the the very bone underneath. Blood flowed freely from the wound. Shurry's mouth began to burn a little front he monster's slightly corrosive blood, he ignored it, and smirked.
The monster cried out in agony, terrified of the wolf, one could say the monster cried wolf. Though, this brief moment filled Shurry with an indescribable satisfaction… He began an assault leaving the monster's corpse in absolute taters. Bits and pieces flew off with every swipe of the claws, and snap of his jaws. Soon the only parts of the monster's body left were the head and torso.
He grabbed the monster's head in his jaws, lightly pressing down to ensure a firm hold. And then… He ran… He ran circles around the little arena, increasing his speed with every lap. Soon the kicked up sand was everywhere but the center. The force from the sheer speed he ran, caused the monster's neck to stretch, detaching the skeletal structure, causing a painfully slow death for the monster.
When he suddenly came to a halt, he let go of the monster, sending its lifeless corpse hurtling into the wall of the arena once more. This time, there was actually a fair bit of damage to the wall. The Amazonesses were left stunned for a moment. Even the ones who'd seen him fight a few months ago were speechless for a moment.
"That was impressive. It might have been much weaker than a mature monster of its kind but, to so brutally handle it like that. It's got me all hot n' bothered." One Amazoness said, playing with herself. "Ma'am, my daughter was successful, so might I be allowed entry to the tool shed now?"
With a glare Oluta grinned as she took in the sight of her junior. "With you like that, a slave isn't going to be enough, is it?" She chuckled. "Go ahead, they have plenty of openings now." She added, gently licking her lips.
As the Amazoness bowed, then left the room, leaving her daughter in the care of the familia… Shurry walked out of the sandy arena, an Amazoness carrying the baby followed behind him, her eyes clearly focused on something swinging side to side.
Seeing this, Oluta gave the ladies that look. "So, how do you feel now, Shurry?"
"I… The monster wasn't strong enough to handle the rest of what I had planned. So… I guess I'm angry?" Though, his tail wagged back and forth as Oluta rubbed his head.
"You did good. We were going to intervene this time, but you did it on your own. You're getting stronger. Now transform back…"
Shurry reverted to normal, and… Noticed at that very moment that he was currently, well, exposed. "Huh?"
"Pfft, don't worry about it. Clothes are really inexpensive here. We'll get you some new ones later. We have to finish the trials first though." She then wondered how to swing this to make it less uncomfortable. There's nothing more annoying than not feeling at home in your own skin. "As for your current predicament, you can consider it training your confidence."
Shurry was then sat on a chair and provided another glass full. This is where he would stay for the rest of the trials. They are rather insane, putting their newborns to death like this. But I guess, they are at least fair enough to not put them up against a monster they can not defeat.
The rest of the trials went on, overall there was an 85% survival rate. A surprising rate considering the horrible danger at hand. Human's would never be able to do this. Amazonesses must just be built differently. I guess that means to some extent, that this trial is necessary. No matter how much I don't like it…
