Her eyes widen, she wasn't expecting to hear that, not at all. I've been into snakes ever since I was a kid, so why should I be scared of snake people like the Serpentine?" "Because, they're gonna eat you!" That, coming from a girl no less, was as shocking as if she told him the meaning of life. He wasn't expecting that, not in a million years. You've been captured just like me." "Then, where am I being held?" "The lost city of Ouroboros, the city of the Serpentine." "Really?" The boy was confused to hear something like that, especially from a girl. "What the.Why am I behind bars? Did I commit a crime in my sleep or what?" That got her attention, her eyes flew open and she sat straight up instantly, again the boy was surprised by speedy movement. "Crud! Why'd you have to be so loud? The guard wasn't suppose to hear us." There's a loud gasp then followed by the sound of running foot steps and a groaning sigh near her head. And if you poke me one more time, I'll bite your finger off!" "Hey.Come on, wake up.Dumb girl." "I'm not dumb, I'm trying to dream. She groaned as her slumber was being disturbed, something was poking its finger at her head, more and more with each passing minute, she tolerated it for a good 6 minutes before her patience started to wear and her groans were replaced with growls. It had been a long time since she was allowed to sleep for so long, it was nice.was, being the operative word. With a wicked laugh, the Serpent King leaves the room, the others of his kind, and the Humans to once more be in his chamber, but this time, to actually enjoy that nap he wanted.īack in the chamber, Skales selected members of each tribe to be as caregivers and watchmen, the caregivers gave water and fed both Humans, though they treated the girl better than Lloyd, Pythor wasn't lying when he said the Serpentine really didn't like the boy, the watchmen stayed in the room, switching out occasionally, and paid attention for any signs of life coming from the girl, for if she ever woke up, they'd have to report it as soon as they saw it. Don't disappoint me." "I wouldn't dream of it." You have my word, my King."Ī very delighted smirk smears across Pythor's lips, clearly loving the power he holds now. "I trust you'll take care of things down here, right?" He slithers up to his right hand snake, Skales. "Such a pity he's asleep, I was just about to tell him to not get so attached to her. Pleased by his fear inducing skills, the snake king smiles at his subjects. Lloyd, scared out of his mind and about ready to pee himself, faints from sheer terror much to the snake's amusement. "But don't think for a second this means we won't go for you either, we don't like you! Know that as soon as you're no longer of use to me, you'll be the next course on our menu boy." Suddenly he's gripping the bars of the cage, as if in rage, effectively scaring Lloyd half to death from just the speed of the snake's movement alone. Pythor turns his attention to the nervous boy. "Wait! You don't mean.You're going to eat her?" The Serpentine snicker and laugh at the thought of the suggestion he just put in their heads, and he said it with such a remorseless face, as if that was all he was really interested in to begin with, but such talk gets to poor Lloyd. "There'd be no harm in putting some meat on her bones. If useful, she could be of great help to us, but if not." "It's quite simple really, I want to question her. "If you have a reason.Then please, do explain?"įangtom asks and Pythor looks once more at the sleeping girl, slightly surprised she didn't stir at all from his loudness. His now more calm and alluring tone get the others attention, so they stop squirming and regain themselves. "If it helps to ease your minds at all, I do have a reason for wanting her alive." The Anacondrai snaps with venomous authority, making all under him tremble, from the mighty generals down to the lowly little boy. "Don't question my orders! If I said I want her taken care of, then that's what you'll do! Do I make myself clear?!" The others begin to join in with chants of their own, each wanting the Humans gone from the city and never seen again, which worries Lloyd to no end and he cowers helplessly, but all this ranting is wearing on Pythor's nerves and as King he will not stand for this kind of annoyance. We should just leave her to fate in the desert with Lloyd."Īcidicus, general of the Venomari, states as he points his staff at the cages. "What?! Why should we take care of some Human girl?" The Serpentine are in shock and confusion, clearly this was very unexpected to hear from their King.
