wings. The baby Gigantoraptor screeched loudly one more time,
before Tital sent an arrow his way, forever silencing him.
“I wish I had my horse Centella!” Tital yelled, knowing the last
pair of Gigantoraptors would try one more attack, but this time
like suicide dive-bombers. Those scalpel-sharp, massive claws
could rip apart a lot tougher prey than humans. This would not
be the time to miss a final shot.
“And I wish I had my horse, Belleza. I wouldn’t feel like we
are the sitting ducks!” Bardala shouted back, while trying to
watch the Gigantoraptors.
From high overhead the Gigantoraptors had decided to
launch another attack. A swirling mist began to form nearby, and
out of it ran both, Belleza, and Centella, before the attack could
begin.
“I did not really mean to call my horse, but I am sure glad
they are here now,” Tital said as he caught his horse. “Come on,
let’s ride for those trees. It will make it hard for those
Gigantoraptors to get to us.”
Bardala quickly mounted her horse, and then notched
another arrow while she was riding. When the Gigantoraptors
silently dropped out of the sky, both Bardala and Tital were ready
for them. The two Gigantoraptors were crafty, and were able to
use the sun overhead to their advantage. Without a pair of
Bausch and Lomb sunglasses, the hunters became disadvantaged
because of the glare.
“I can’t see!” yelled Bardala, as she shot her arrow up into the
sky.
“They are coming in too fast, and the arrows can’t stop them.
Use your powers to stop them. Concen-trate! Con-cen-trate!”
Tital shouted at Bardala, as he too had fired his arrow skyward.
