(Happy Holidays all)<br/><br/>*Slowly Arkain's eyes start to open his head still throbs from the back flow of energy from the angry snake. The sounds of a loud angry hiss fills his ears. Looking around he gasps seeing the really bad predicament he was in. Massive snake coils surrounded him on all sides. Now what we he going to do. At least he's not wrapped up and being squeezed but there is no way he's fast enough to escape from them. Looking up he hears noise coming from on top of the snake. Its Jaku coming to rescue him. Sitting up quickly and yelling loudly* "Jaku. Down here!" *Just as he says that his mouth drops watching the massive snakes head just smack Jaku off his coil like its no big deal.*<br/><br/>*Things quickly go from bad to worse. With Jaku dealt with, the snake turns it attention to him. Looking above him he gasps seeing this massive wet drooling maw open. Bigger than any maw he has seen before. This is going to really hurt. In a flash the snakes head dived down and he is taken inside the snakes maw. The pressure from his jaws snapping shut around him was intense. He could still feel the lower half of his body still dangling outside its maw.Sure that half of his body will be inside the snakes maw shortly too.*<br/><br/>*Then he feels an intense pain shooting through his tail of someone yanking on it hard. Its Jaku trying to free him. His body doesn't move an inch. The snakes jaws refuse to budge. He knows Jaku will not quit till he frees him from this snake. His tail tries to stretch forward to get a coil around Jaku's wrist but its already stretched to its limits. His tails eyes open and look at Jaku with sheer terror in them. But what the snake does next catches him by surprise. The snake snaps its head up spinning its head around and around hard. His head spins as he howls in pain. The pain of feeling Jaku being tossed about like a rag doll by the tip of his tail is horrible. It almost feels like his tail is going to be ripped off then the snake drops down hard and slams him and Jaku hard against the ground. The blow knocks the wind out of him.*<br/><br/>*Barely keeping consciousness he's just aware enough of Jaku loosing his grip on his tail then the feel of the air racing over his lower limp body and the feel of rocks and perhaps roots sliding over his tail .The snake won and is putting distance between him and Jaku. At least he didn't attack Jaku. Sure that hard blow would have taken even Jaku out of commission. That giant snake has him to himself now. Thoughts of whats going to happen next fades from his mind as he looses consciousness.*
