With a large pit in his stomach, he slithers through the brush, carefully winding his way around the thick tree trunks and pushing off with barely a rustle of the leaves.<br/>He peeks back every now and then, watching his family closely as they all wind through the jungle like a river. His ears twitch and dart every now and then listening to any disturbance in the almost deafening wildlife.<br/><br/>He presses on, determined to find the terrified serpent, however there is barely a familiar scent to follow in this new land, and the trail of broken branches dried up a while ago. He slides and slithers on. Over rocks, under branches, and around trees. There is that tiny glint in his mind that is actually enjoying the feeling of the jungle passing under his thick belly scales.<br/><br/>However, after a long trek, he lets out an audible sigh, his long body relaxes as he comes to a stop. All four of his arms still tucked close to his chest as he leans back to glance at his family.<br/><br/>But as he turns, a loud scream bellows through the branches! His ears perk and point off to the right! Snapping his body, he plows through the underbrush like a boulder, scattering leaves in his wake! After a few meters, he looks up and comes to a crushing stop, whipping his tail around the closest tree it could find as the brown serpent bellows out in fear as he sees it clenched between the jaws of a snake almost twice as thick as they are!<br/><br/>He raises all four of his hands, making sure his family does not stumble in past him. He watches the brown naga get whipped to the ground as the large orange snake twists and writhes, working a small portion of his lower body into its throat. This snake is massive, he glances down what length of it can be seen, at least until it disappears into the brush.<br/><br/>He looks back at his family, silently knowing if they don't act soon, the only lead they have on not only this new land, but the mysteries of their bodies will end up dissolving away inside the gut of this massive snake. Taking action against something so formidable is not a choice he can make himself. He stares into everyone's eyes, waiting to see their decision to help or not.<br/><br/>((so after an exhausting week, I completely spaced that it was my turn if Kellus wasn't returning yet. Thanks again for being so patient!!))
