Thread: Mysterious Jungle

HEY S-SOMEONE A... H-H-HUMAN ANYONE. The echoing youthful cries of a boy no more than ten years of age cried aloud throughout the cool yet thick air of the jungle. Bushes were crushed and small trees were shoved aside when the youth carelessly pushed the length of his body through the foliage. The small gaps in the tall trees above allowed bits of sunlight to beam down onto the silver scales of the creatures serpentine tail, causing it to shimmer like tiny diamonds weaving through a sea of glorious greenery. Within the barrier of a village like structure not far from where the boy frantically slithered- there were several other creatures of serpentine species slithering to and from random destinations. They behaved much like a regular village of humans only the differences being their species but also the fact the female population was severally lacking in numbers. The irritating cries coming from the boy got the attention of many in the village, none of which were the adults he was looking for. A warrior frowned disapprovingly at the youth and slithered over to him as he approached the section of the village that would be considered a gate. Calm yourself child, you behave as if the jungle were on fire... An interjection on the boys part interrupted the rest of what the warrior planned on adding to his sentence. But, you dont understand a human! There is a human close to our village! VERY CLOSE! The boys caramel colored eyes were wide with fear but also awe. He had never seen a human before but he had heard what the looked like. The one he happened to come across when hunting a small rabbit was the first anyone had seen in centuries but he knew he wasnt mistaken. He his memory served him correctly the human he spotted was one of the female gender, a pretty one too. The warrior regarded him with a look of suspicion moments before he shoved the child in the direction of the main village huts. Go stay with the elders boy. He wanted to be sure the child wasnt trying to pull a foolish prank on him before he alerted others. The leader of the village wasnt the leader of all their species. The leader himself along with any other royalty or any persons holding an important status lived deep inside of caves that were in the center of the jungle, those caves were burrowed deep under a mountain but there was still a way inside to worship or to speak to the ancients if need be. However, it was know by all of their kind that nobody was to disturb the ancients unless it was absolutely necessary. If what this boy said were to be true then this would be a necessary time to wake the royalty and that wasn't something anyone wanted to do willingly. Perhaps the child would best suffice to wake them? No, the boy wouldnt be able to draw the attention of a rodent let alone ancients that had been sleeping long before he was born. The warrior let a long sigh of dread slide past his lips. First he needed to make sure what the boy said was true. Adjusting a spear that could be broken apart and lengthened the man gripped his weapon straps as he tugged them over his shoulder then he began slithering in the direction the boy came from. Hed have to see this so called human before he believed a word out of the mouth of that trouble making little brat.
