The beast had impressive strength since it was able to lift Khell and then fly him quite a distance. His gut undulated as the seed pods started moving their way up his esophagus. More gagging and dripping saliva preceded the birth of the spores. When they landed and the mantis set him down, the creature started using the sharp edges of its forelegs to dig a hole in the ground. It only took a few minutes for him to realize he was meant to deposit the seed in this hole so the mantis could plant and bury it properly.
Khell grabbed either side of his huge belly in both hands. It undulated again, and this time, he felt a lump rising up through his chest. "Gyyak... Haaugh..." A bulge appeared at his collarbone and it slowly moved upward into his throat. Heavy amounts of spit and nectar flooded his mouth, lubricating the way for the seed. "Hhhooark! Haaugh! Gaauk!" Khell lurched forward when at last the pod pushed past his tonsils and over his lips and down into the hole the mantis dug. The Zioruta was left panting and coughing while trying to wipe his mouth clean, but it was a useless effort since another pod would be close behind.
