Thread: The Great Serpent (M2) Dreamie~Middie

'Raan tensed with surprise when another human appeared from the foliage, a male human who knew the one who had just rescued him, possibly an ally of hers, the human was male and was wielding a sword almost the size of his body. 'Raan tensed bodily, a reaction to the human's drawing of his weapon. 'Raan had a feeling that this human could have been trouble, and as soon as he spotted the great serpent he proved his suspicions immediately. Humans were currently not 'Raan's favorite creatures in the world, and it was no wonder why, many were brutal and primitive, they stole away his kind for use as slaves and pets, even though they were just as sentient as humans themselves. The human male immediately mentioned subduing 'Raan, speaking as if the great serpent couldn't even understand his words. 'Raan had a very good comprehension of the language, he had been taught by another slave during his time as a captive of the humans. The human still spoke of him as if he were an animal. 'Raan's hand opened, exposing the wicked claws that adorned each finger. 'Raan scowled and showed his teeth at the human, preparing to stop him fully with his claws when he charged, but when he did, the female stepped in front of him and stopped what could have ended up as a rather bloody conflict... 'Raan had just slaughtered multiple humans, though none were quite as big as this human and none of them were as well armed. 'Raan was still quite ready to defend himself, even if the female were to join in and try to assist him. The human male mad it obvious that his group too wanted to capture a Naga of 'Raan's breed, which didn't do wonder's for 'Raan's trust and confidence in the humans. Fortunately, the attack that 'Raan was anticipating never came. Ammon intercepted the human male, stopping his attack by getting between them, stopping him from lunging forward. Ammon was tring to protect him, again, which was something that 'Raan appreciated, when the male again suggested that he be captured, she struck him. The action was pleasing but painful to watch, making 'Raan wince slightly, but relaxed a little, nodding when Ammon stated that Naga were sentient, not just monsters or beasts that the humans were free to just take from their homes. This made 'Raan feel a little better about his situation, that at least the female didn't want him captured like everyone else did. 'Raan had a good grasp of the human language, having been taught the language when he himself was a slave, a time that he would have rather forgotten. She is right 'Raan spoke, something that would likely frighten or confuse the human as it often did, his voice was soft but strong, like the purr from a tiger, with a certain softness to the natural strength of his voice and a strong accent. The human was right, all this talk about capturing 'Raan and taking him back to their leader was only infuriating the Naga, his irritation was shown clearly through fine movements in his tail. There were hints of emotion to his voice, it was clear that he was still rather irritated with all the events of this day, so far things had not been going his way on this day. He decided not to speak further, it was evident enough that he was, he had emotions and feelings, and he did not appreciate it when humans repeatedly intruded in his oasis, attempting to drag him off for his own purposes. With the threat from the humans gone, 'Raan wandered away to his oasis and washed up, splashing the water on his body and washing the blood from his hair and claws. When he was done he moved back, just in time for Ammon's speech aimed at the other human. 'Raan winced at the female's mention, girls being raped and boys being worked to death, those sentences brought back many many memories of less pleasant times. 'Raan figured that these humans were also being chased, but by members of their own kind, the idea that there was a possibility that these humans could have lead the slavers right to him made 'Raan uncomfortable. If more slavers came he would be forced to move, and he he would not like to do that, he had just found his little oasis after all, and if he had to leave he would have been less than pleased. Something however made 'Raan a little more curious about the human's plight, perhaps that he at least assumed they were talking about protecting former slaves. The Naga coiled himself, making himself comfortable as he listened to the humans talk to eachother. They were clearly no friends to the slavers, though 'Raan couldn't be totally certain they wouldn't harm him in any way. The male waved his hand to get the attention of the female human. Were those slavers following you? what are you doing out here? 'Raan blinked and looked at Ammon, golden eyes inquisitive. They normally do not come out this far, though I don't think any survived, some may not have attacked or even have gotten away. 'Raan fidgeted, resting back on his coils. Again, thank you for helping me. 'Raan reached up and ran his nails through his hair, waiting a little for his answer.
