"Hey stinger-butt! Why don't you get your lazy $#@ up and do something besides look ugly!" A screechy voice shouted, jolting Neriva out of her peaceful slumber. Neriva knew that voice quite well.
"Why don't you come down here and fight me, you cowardly buzzard?!" She shouted angrily to the harpy in the air. The harpy just laughed and flew off.
"Damn that harpy!" She muttered as she got up on her eight legs, raising her arms high into the air in a big stretch. Every morning for the past 3 weeks that harpy had flown over her her small cave home, shouting insults at her and waking her up from her peaceful sleep. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that the harpy always got her up three hours before the crack of dawn!
"Might as well go find breakfast." Neriva said to herself before letting out a yawn. She knew it would be pointless to try to go back to sleep. She could never seem to fall asleep again after being woken up. Neriva scuttled out of her cave to look for breakfast.
Contrary to the what the harpy claimed, Neriva was far from ugly. She had a beautiful face framed by long, auburn hair, which perfectly complimented her dark green eyes. She had C-cup breasts and a flat tummy. Her humanoid waist was seemlessly connected to a sandy yellow scorpion body.
Neriva's right arm ended in a human hand, while her left ended in a scorpion pincer. This was typical of her species, though there were plenty of Scorpsi who had two human hands or two scorpion pincers. There were even rumors of Scorpsi with four arms: two that ended with humanoid hands, and two that ended with scorpion pincers. Neriva had never met one of these fabled Scorpsi, though.

--One Hour Later--

Neriva sighed as her belly rumbled its discontent with the results of her hunt. All she had managed to find were a few Starkala Bugs, and the one inch insects didn't do much for the seventy foot Scorpsi.
'Dammit!' She thought to herself, 'It's getting harder and harder to find good meals around here! All the insects have learned to avoid my hunting area!'
Just as Neriva had resigned herself to eating fruit for the fifth meal in a row, something caught her ear. It was faint, but she thought she could just make out the word, 'help', being shouted repeatedly in the distance.
Neriva was curious. In Felarya, most creatures knew better than to scream for help, lest some predator find them. Some predator like her! She ran through the forest in the direction of the shouts as fast as her eight legs could take her (which was pretty fast).
Neriva soon came upon the source of the screams: a struggling, human-sized fairy being carried by a Tonorian that had to be at least one hundred feet long! The Tonorian was probably taking the fairy back to its hive for later consumption. It hadn't spotted her yet.
Neriva licked her lips. It looked like her curiousity had paid off! Quickly and silently, Neriva scaled a nearby tree, her pointy legs easily carrying her up the vertical tree. She watched as the Tonorian began to pass under her, unaware of her presence. The fairy continued to scream.
Neriva suddenly leapt down onto the Tonorian, tackling it to the ground. She quickly grabbed a section of the Tonorian with her powerful left pincer, cracking the incredibly strong carapace like an egg. Before the Tonorian knew what had happened, Neriva struck with her tail, her powerful stinger piercing the insect's carapace easily. She injected a measured amount of her venom into the doomed insect, paralyzing it and causing it to drop the fairy. She released her pincer's grip on the Tonorian, instead grabbing it and holding with her right hand.
In less than five seconds, the Tonorian shrunk to only seven feet long from the effects of the venom and Neriva held it in her hand. Closing her eyes and raising it to her lips, she put the paralyzed insect's head to her lips and slurped its centipede-like body down like a spaghetti noodle. Her belly felt much better!
Neriva opened her eyes to see the formerly captive fairy hovering in front of her face.
"Thank you so much!!" The fairy exclaimed, a large smile on her face, "how can I ever repay you?"
"Don't worry about repaying me, I was happy to do it." Neriva said, patting her full belly.
"There must be something I can do to repay you," The fairy said, "I wouldn't feel right if I didn't; you saved my life, after all."
Neriva was about to protest again when an idea suddenly struck her. "Actually, if you really want to repay me, there is something you could do for me..."

--The Next Morning--

"Hey bug-breath! Why don't you--hey, who are you?! What are you...get away from me!! HEL--" The familiar voice was suddenly cut off in mid-scream; a loud gulp immediately followed.
Neriva opened her eyes and gave the giant waving fairy in the air a thumbs-up with her right hand. The fairy smiled and flew off, her slightly bulging belly squirming and cursing. Neriva had a feeling her mornings were going to be much more peaceful from now on.
