Thread: The Great Serpent (M2) Dreamie~Middie

'Raan blinked at the human male when he announced what their mission was, taking three thousand slaves to another country... that these humans rescued three thousand of their own kind was enough to surprise the Naga, then again, he probably had not even seen a thousand humans over the course of his lifetime anyway, in the marketplace he had seen many, but probably not that many. The amount of people they were moving would be incredibly noticeable, The slavers were on them, and if they failed, three thousand human slaves would go back to their masters. It was an unpleasant thought, knowing that he would willingly fight to the death rather than be captured again by humans, and a huge responsibility for those who were watching over all the delicious little sheep, with a huge and hungry pack of wolves nearby. When they reached the area they were to wait in, 'Raan coiled himself up again into his default resting position, his coils nice and loose, with plenty of room to lounge around in, resting back into his coils and looking at the human. 'Raan liked lounging around, though he preferred to do so with a heat source so he could really relax. Like most Naga, 'Raan was not quite warm blooded, heat had a profound effect on him, it made him relaxed and happy, compared to the cold desert nights which strongly displeased him. His kind were built to live in the desert, and the lives of his species depended on the vast desert to survive. 'Raan rested back, his hands exploring the scales of his tail... the injuries the slavers had given him were starting to bother him, but he still did his best to hide them from the humans. The Naga stuck close to the dwindling fire, it's warmth pleasing to him in the colder air. A light prodding sensation caught 'Raan's attention, bringing him away from his little fantasy in the fire. The Naga stirred, and gazed down to the source of the sensation. A human child had wandered up to him, a boy with wide green eyes and messy dark hair, very young in his age. The boy had been feeling the texture of 'raan's scales, probably thinking that the Naga would fail to notice his little exploration. 'Raan turned a little and gave the child a nice stare, though his eyes softened when he noticed the boy was driven more by curiosity and was not annoying him on purpose. The naga patted the child on the head before he was snatched away by a particularly haggard looking mother. The mother looked defensive, as if 'Raan would hurt her child... the look she gave him hurt a bit. 'Raan pushed the bigoted look out of his mind and closed his eyes... taking a deep breath. 'Raan turned back to Irvine Are there any Naga traveling with you? 'Raan was unsure what the freed ones did with the Naga they freed... if they freed them... did they bring them with them? or did they just release them into the wild like one would to an animal... 'Raan wouldn't be surprised to see green Naga amongst the humans, they were the smartest and most social naga, and a human favorite for exotic pets. The Naga looked around the camp for any sign of another Naga, or Ammon, whichever was to show up first. The naga moved, unsettled, he was a little hungry, and sorely missed the idea that he could have actually done something with the bait that the human hunters had set for him in the clearing.
