Planet Tetro ~ Page 71

The lady poodle that was laying down had curly and fluffy grey puffs on her body where poodles usually have them . The biggest difference was that the rest of her fur was tan . I’ve never seen a dual colored poodle before . She was a beautiful older lady but something about her was menacing though . She gave me a sharp piercing look and said aggressively . “ You’ll die here today wolf ! “ The floor under me started to cave in again but this time I shot my drill into the ceiling of the roof after jumping up . The room was now split into two . The side she was on still had a floor but my side was exposed to a funnel like hole . I had no doubt that there was another Silver fish tunnel connected to it . How were these traps activating ? I thought to myself . That's something I'll have to figure out . Right now though , I should focus on my enemy that is at hand .

She then let out a shrill scream that gave me the sensation of butterflies in my stomach . She seemed to have her confidence shaken though . She started to prepare for battle . She threw her fancy covers off of her and got out of her bed . She revealed a medium sized sword with purple battle armor on . I think it would be safe to assume that she was waiting for intruders . My first thought was how did she know . My second was to make sure I stayed focused . As I continued to hang from the ceiling with my drill .

She shouted “ Laughter “ and then shot a ball of light towards me . I dodged the ball of light barely and then she screamed again. She started to yell at me . “ Do you know who I am ? I am one of the dreaded generals of lord Avion ! I am lady Siltana and you intruders will die one by one ! " I replied midair as I sent myself launching towards her . “ Dying isn’t part of our plan !”

She smiled at me smirking as I landed a few feet away from her . “ Our plan ? That means there are more of you . How many of you are their and why are you here ? Answer me and I can at least spare you your life . Your friend that escaped got lucky . You could end up much , much worse !”

She then swung her sword and I blocked it with my drill but I was sent flying through the wall outside of the building . I coughed up a little bit of blood as I tried to regain my composure . I couldn’t believe how strong she was . On top of that I had to watch out for those balls of light that she shoots out . That’s probably what Jerry got hit with .

She barely left me time to recover as she came soaring out of the building . She jumped out at me with her sword landing into the ground as I was narrowly able to escape . The ground cracked beneath us at her immense strength . Physically speaking I estimated that she was even stronger than the robed guy that she called Avion . She was nowhere near as fast as him and I’m sure that’s part of why he garners so much of her respect .
