From the skies the sound of shrieks, that terrifying screech from the Fodawke. The Cflen looked up, stunned as the Fodawke launched their attack? They did not swoop, nor rush in, as they circled the Cflen.
For over ten minutes they continued the noise. The Cflen had NEVER seen, nor heard such a racket! They told the young ones to move inside. A false alarm? The Fodawke flew off. Vanished! Those below relieved to see them go. In deep conversation as to what had just happened?
Sat around the fires talking. Suddenly from the skies rocks poured down on them, the Fodawke continue to circle, drop the rocks then disappear to pick up more and return. The same pounding from more and more rocks.
The rage, the fury, of the attack, hit home. Two of the young Cflen who had ventured out when the Fodawke had flown off were now dead! Buried under the rocks. Never, in all the time, they could remember had they ever, seen anything like this!
It was to them unheard of, for such creatures to attack by picking up rocks or stones and using them as a weapon? Yet clearly they had realised, the force of dropping such things on the Cflen, did damage! Some of the buildings were smashed open. Had caught fire. The now raging fires spreading.
The plume of smoke rising into the now approaching night sky as they rushed to put the flames out. In the midst of the chaos? The Fodawke returned again! More rocks pouring down on them. Unable to put the fires out, to stay out in the open? They had no choice but to let the buildings burn.
Several more Cflen fell, badly injured; hit by the massive rocks. Some of them weighing twice the weight of one of their heaviest Cflen?! Picked up with ease by the claws of the Fodawke, gathering momentum on the way down, the rocks were liken to aiming missiles, at those below. Smashing into the ground, Rocks that not only made the ground shake, but brought down some of the buildings.
They had withstood the last attack but had become weakened. Caught in the path of the blazing inferno? Arvania arrived back, to find the chaos, the pandemonium, the screams, the shouting and the all too familiar smell of smoke and fire.
She would see the Fodawke circling, she saw the image of the fire and the smoke, just as she had seen, from the craft looking on to the burning nests of the Fodawke. Were these creatures relishing the sight of the destruction below them?
A simple, small brained, stupid creature? Organized and taking their revenge?
