Your new Talioth mount! (Patreon)
Content
The seikret had made it through many battles against a number of dangerous and wild monsters, but now found itself prisoner in the belly of a much less notable monster that they had payed little attention to across their many expeditions. The raptor had pounced at, or more accurately dived towards, the seikret while they were preoccupied with a large monster fight and greedily began working its jaws over the bird until they had swallowed it whole. Now full and happy, the Talioth concluded its meal with a satisfied burp whilst also enjoying the valiant but fruitless struggles of its breakfast. The seikret's battle against the Talioth's relentless stomach was going poorly - no amount of headbutting or kicking at the stomach walls yielded any results and powerful digestive fluids began to be added into the mix, ensuring the fight would not last for much longer.The seikret's hunter companion was unable to come to its aid, having been engaged in a battle with Arkveld, harassed by a pair of Quematrice after Arkveld left the area, and the Talioth's packmates misdirecting them immediately after. Indeed, they would not learn of their bird's fate until later that afternoon, when their search finally brought them to the small pack hunter who was somehow now wearing the seikret's saddle and harness. Its belly had softened considerably since that morning but had not shrunk any quite yet. While the Talioth's stomach acid had liquefied much of its meal by that point there still remained a lot to be broken down.The Talioth casually glanced over its shoulder at the startled hunter and its scaly jaw curled into as much of a grin as it could muster."I’ll be taking over the role of your Seikret effective immediately" it chortled, then gave its grumbling belly a contented pat before continuing, "I'll be ready for action once I've had some more time to digest!"They had lost one mount and companion but gained another, and as they'd soon discover it had quite the appetite - causing the failure of several capture-quests until the Talioth learned that 'capture' also meant 'undigested'. On-the-spot description, and finally able to upload this! It'd been sitting as a sketchy draft along with several other Talioth drawings (I was in quite a talioth-pred mood!) since roughly March.
