Noises off in the distance, animals and insects moving about in search of food and shelter. Life was all around the little Anirus as he moved through the underbrush of a very strange forest. His heart raced as his mind wandered, his tiny eyes gazing around to see if any of the beings that surrounded him and seen him. He was hyper-vigilant, but that did nothing to prevent what happened next.

As if fron nowhere, his tail was grabbed. The tiny being squeaked as he was ripped into the air. Brought up to eye level, the little one looked into Talia's eyes as she gazed back at him, a smirk across her lips and her tongue slipping across her snout. Without any fanfare, she shifted to hold him by his arm, and slipped his legs into her mouth. Her teeth severed him in half, the sound of crunching bone and organs filled his tiny ears as he was eaten alive, chewed and ripped asunder.

Unable to speak or plead, he was then discarded into her maw. The blood licked up from her lips, he was sealed away. No onlooker would know what she was eating was  a tiny person as her teeth powered through him like he was nothing. Tiny, muffled crunches, ending Anirus' little life simply for a snack to the forest guardian...
