The brown serpent slowly starts to open his eyes, stammering at first and wiping the thick slime from his eyes. The sight of trees slowly take form in his sight and he suddenly squirms and jerks awake! His thin leathery tail slapping the ground and whipping about as he sits up, realizing the last thing he remembered was the whole world disappearing behind the snake's throat.<br/>His long slitted eyes dart from side to side until they lock onto the same Nagas that he encountered earlier. With a momentary pause, he starts to hesitantly scoot away from them as the bushes open up depositing a very defeated orange naga that quickly collapses into the arms of the other orange serpent.<br/>He carefully listens as what looks like the mother and daughter direct all their attention to caring for the four armed male. The realization that they pulled him free slowly bubbles to the forefront of his mind. He starts to lean closer, then suddenly realizes that one of them is missing.<br/>The brown naga continues to listen to the defeated naga, and with a very nonchalant look he wipes the snakes slime from his face. "She ate him, didn’t she?"<br/>Jaku's right ear twists towards the sound of his voice as he slowly lifts his head from Tamara's shoulder.<br/><br/>The brown serpent takes a deep breath. And with an twinge of disgust in his voice, he chirps at the trio of serpents. "I wouldn't sob like that if I were you. She likes to play with every new catch. And seeing's how you all look like the queen when she first arrived here, I bet she might just be 'very' interested in the green one. Or all of you for that matter."<br/><br/>Clearing the overwhelming tears from his eyes with one of his hands, Jaku looks up at the brown naga and coughs out a stammered, "W..what?"<br/>The brown serpent pulls his body close, curling and twisting it neatly around him as he sits, wiping the slime from his scaled shoulders and arms.<br/><br/>Meanwhile in the tight pitch darkness, the large serpent holds its catch firmly between the crushing folds of its throat and lets the rest of it sway in a cool endless space. The large snake suddenly bears down onto its catch in what feels like its finally going to swallow Arakin completely, but suddenly every muscle loosens and the sheer weight of Arakin's long body drags him down, sliding effortlessly from the back of its throat and out the side of its mouth! And then gravity takes its hold slipping him faster downward! With nothing to grasp at Arakin falls a few feet causing his whole body to splat down onto very hard and very warm stone surface. Suddenly the green naga finds himself in a large, heavily decorated cathedral, high in the mountain of the island that looks more a carving made out of a mountainside than a constructed building. Its towering red pillars split long shadows down the hall as the large snake hovers ominously over Arakin's head, looking like it could strike him at any moment.<br/><br/>Far down the hall, a large yellow Naga, that looks more serpent than mammal sits regally at the end of the long hall, both arms crossed in front of a thick scaled chest adorned with gemstones set flush directly into its bellyscales. The serpent lifts its sleek body to a proud and solid stance, its serpentine body locked tightly around a smooth round throne with both arms crossed as it silently stares unblinking into Arakin's eyes.<br/><br/><br/>((Thank you for being so patient!!!!!!!!! The last couple of weeks have been beyond insane! But now that everything stressful and nasty has been dealt with, I should be able to pick up the pace!))
