Thread: The Great Serpent (M2) Dreamie~Middie

The humans staked the ropes that they had secured around the Naga's neck and arm to the ground, one of the phases they had to taking him down. They weren't going to give up, even though they were being stared down by a creature that could easily rip them in half with nothing but brute strength and his razor sharp claws... or crush every one of their bones to dust in his coils. The naga was rather obviously pissed off, radiating rage and slashing at humans with his free hand and claws. He wasn't going to be taken alive, they would have to kill him if they wanted to drag him back to civilization, that might even be their plan. Though a living Naga was obviously worth far more than a dead one 'Raan was starting to tire, and the ropes were cutting into his skin. The serpent would not be captured, not again, he was an adolescent then, now he was an adult, a fully grown, fully mature Naga. Another rope bound the Naga's hands together while the rope at his neck was tightened, further enraging him. Out of nowhere, a human female appeared, by then there was only three attackers left in sight, the human killed the leader, who had been standing back, and the other two humans were quickly dealt with as well. 'Raan stopped hissing, curious as the female approached him... she wasn't like the other humans, having a different air about her. The Female rushed towards the Naga, who tensed in anticipation of an attack when she did, letting out a low, slow hiss, but when she reached for the ropes that bound him he relaxed a little. This human seemed less intent on capturing 'Raan, and by freeing him she had removed most of the chip on his shoulders, most of his wrath directed at the humans was cooled as his hands came free and he was able to raise his upper body off the ground., 'Raan flexed his shoulders and hands, stretching and casting the human a strange look, she looked rather familiar. The naga eyed the human female, lowering himself a little bit, more level or at her her height instead of towering should he be more threatened. 'Raan was still quite a spectacle, his ruby scales and patterns shone brightly in the light of the overbearing sun, golden eyes clashed with the color of his hair and scales. 'Raan had been bloodied, most of it was not his, but a couple injuries could be seen on his body, mostly on the upper body, his scales were like armor, hard to pierce, though they were still battered in some places. Compared to 'Raam of course, the slavers were nowhere as lucky. The slavers had suffered greatly, many dead, one with a crushed skull, one lying in the sand, disemboweled but still alive. 'Raan had caused some serious damage to the humans, and the human female hadn't exactly helped with their plight. One of the humans recovered, the one who had tripped over the rope, he charged the female human, but was intercepted by the furious serpent. The human didn't stand a chance, and a few seconds later the male was released from the coils, broken and very dead. 'Raan uncoiled and moved away from the human, he had attacked in a lightning quick fashion, the human didn't stand a chance. 'Raan quickly moved to finish off the final slaver, and satisfied with his kills he relaxed, the muscles easing to a relaxed position away from his combat mode. 'Raan was still supremely irritated with the actions of the human slavers, even though he had been rescued by another human. He had reasons to be grateful, and the female must have been under the inclination that she would not be immediately killed by the irate serpent. 'Raan knew the consequences of being captured. Male Desert Naga were rare, beautifully colored and far less common than females of the species... they were difficult to find and were beautiful to look at... Collectors enjoyed using them as living decorations and as slaves, they were strong and hardy, They were useful for physical labor, and some more eccentric female collectors used them for sex. Naga sex slaves or harems were not as rare as they should be, a race enslaved for sex or labor, and a slaver could earn top dollar from Naga like 'Raan. 'Raan knew all of this because he had been through all of that once, but that was a time he hated thinking about that time as a slave. 'Raan examined the female human, looking over her as he moved, his body sliding along the ground effortlessly through the sands of the desert. 'Raan slid by the female, looking down at her Thank you he whispered, hoarse in his voice but gentle. 'Raan recognized the female a bit, but he was tired and hurt, and couldn't think very well, his mind was a little hazy still. 'Raan's body language stated that he wasn't too threatened by the female... he was still cautious, something about her made him feel less tense. The male slid towards his oasis, towards the water, he wanted to wash off. The female had earned the right to at least use his oasis if she needed to.
