Waking The Hunter Along the various coastlines of Xenolympus one will occasionally find an Aerie, complex clusters of pillars and arches rising above the sand. An autodrone taking images of this one, on the largest of The Twelve Brethren has disturbed a deadly Soarpion. These creatures are swift and venomous. Their six meter wingspan and muscular pincers make them formidable predators. They dive for fish in the shallow coastal waters and inject them with a toxin that triggers a chemical reaction, literally cooking the prey. Soarpions are fiercely territorial. This autodrone barely escaped. |
