Undaunted by the size of the creature he faced, Maro slammed his fists into the side of the monster’s head, crushing scales with each blow. He was relentless, completely ignoring everything else around him as he rained punch after punch down on the monster. With its mouth full of tree trunk and its insides badly wounded, the massive scaled beast could hardly retaliate, and by the time Merrick and Sellie had finished off the other scaled beasts, Maro was standing over a bloody corpse, gasping.

The entire side of the monster’s face had been caved in, its skull crushed under his fists. Yet still, Merrick could sense it was alive, and already he could see faint signs of its wounds healing. Drawing his pistol, Merrick walked over and located the creature’s brain. There was a sharp crack, and the beam from the pistol burned through its smashed skull and into its brain, killing it for good. Covered in blood, Maro grinned, his teeth bright.

“Tough bugger,” he said, kicking the body of the monster. “I really need to learn how to use those pistols of yours.”

Feeling Emerald stirring from his wrist, Merrick saw her lift her head and stare down at the scaled beast.

“Can I eat that?” she asked.

Without waiting for him to reply, she unwrapped her tail from his wrist and floated down through the air to begin rapidly consuming the scaled beast’s corpse. At first, Merrick was slightly concerned, as he knew scaled beast’s meat was poisonous, but then he remembered the celestial snake poison Emerald carried and realized it probably didn’t register for her.

Emerald ate everything—flesh, scales, bone—and within less than a minute the massive monster Maro had worked so hard to kill was gone, leaving nothing but bloody mud where it had fallen. Wiggling slightly, Emerald, who was still tiny, looked around, her eyes gleaming at the sight of dozens of other corpses. She looked over at Merrick, who shrugged.

“Go ahead,” he said, and she took off.

As she rapidly cleaned up the battlefield, Merrick, Maro, and Sellie jumped into the river, washing off the blood and grime from their bodies. The water was cool and refreshing, having come from the mountain and not yet entered the swamp. As much as Merrick was enjoying himself, however, he wanted to keep going. So after Emerald had finished eating all the corpses, they took off once more. There was still close to a day and a half of travel before they would reach the edge of the swamp, and around midday Merrick called for a halt, his eyes narrowing as he turned to stare back at the swamp.

“Something the matter?” Sellie asked, turning to gaze in the direction he was looking.

“I think Kathov is catching up,” he said, his brow furrowing. “Give me one second.”

Sitting down on the ground, he closed his eyes and quickly fell into a meditative trance, immersing himself in the song of the world. It took him a moment to find it, but eventually he did. The tense melody of Kathov’s hunt.
