"N-Now see here!" Khell stammered, going from embarrassed to indignant. "My name does have meaning! It's who I am! Just because you decided to breed with me doesn't negate the fact that I'm a Zioruta. Don't you have a name, or should I just start calling you 'beast' and see how you like it?"
Khell recognized the border where the grassy plains met the marshlands. He tried paying closer attention to the landscape this time. It was easier to do now that he wasn't trying to throat birth a seed pod. He noticed the marsh draining into a few caves and guessed they led into some underground caverns. If he managed to escape from the mantis, he might be able to hide down in their depths. The real issue, however, was getting off this planet. Would he spend the rest of his life running from the animals and plants on Drecuvis, forever avoiding their attempts to breed with him?
Back down in the nest, Khell found himself once again stuck to the alcove in the wall. He was exhausted after expelling the seeds from his body, so he hoped the mantis would just leave him alone to sleep and get back his strength.
