Chuck sighs and turns back his gaze towards the youngest serpent. "Knowing her, she'll probably play with him for quite a while, which gives you a chance to get to him." He turns back and continues to slither along the open field. As they all move along together, he mutters after a brief moment to everyone behind him. "Once you get there though. I really have no clue how any of you could possibly stop her from doing what she pleases."<br/><br/>Jaku gently keeps his lower left hand resting softly against Tamara's lower back while his upper hand gently rubs between her shoulder blades. He quietly does what he can to calm the situation they are in, but even he knows right now, there isnt much they can do but press on.<br/><br/>With each twist of their bodies they slide ever closer towards the center of the island. Almost as soon as they push past the field, the sounds of a small but bustling town silence out the ambient sounds of the jungle. The trail they have been following quickly grows in width and before long their bellyscales start to slide effortlessly along the smooth dry dirt, a nice reprieve from all the brush, sticks, rocks, logs and twigs poking at them from below.<br/><br/>The brown serpent leads them towards a large stone gateway that pushes back the forest as far as they can see on either side. A simple yellow flag hangs below the stone archway opening. Jaku leans up and peers past the gate into the village, seeing at least a dozen nagas slithering about. Most of them sliding along the ground, while a few curl around large logs suspended between the small stone and wood roofed buildings. For a moment he forgets about their situation and raises three of his hands to his chest while gripping Tamara's in excitement.<br/><br/>Chuck however, turns his head back towards the trio and sighs. "We should hurry."<br/><br/><br/>Meanwhile, up the mountain at the far end of the village. The large queen leans back just a little and lovingly pets the green tail in her arms. He grins from cheek to scaled cheek as she watches her guest look at all the hovering serpents around him. With a chuckle in her voice and a tone of pure enjoyment, she locks her eyes down onto his and hisses out "My boy, they are my tail, I am their body, and we all are of many souls uniting as one." her soft tone echoes through the halls as each of the tail maws looks very intently at the green serpent, even the one that brought him to where he is now. All seven serpentine maws, smile in unison and with a voice that bellows through the halls, "And one day, one day very soon, we are all confident that you both will make a fine addition to us." She smiles and releases Arakin's tail, locking eyes with his with a bit of saliva glistening from the back of her lip.
