Slither and Slide

Thirsty paws, her mother had called them. It was difficult to keep still. Almost impossible to stay in one place for long. And so the giant woman found herself exploring a land that neighbored the Armada's territory. She wasn't terribly far away, but it was enough of a change in scenery that it would keep her attention. The land was rolling and green despite autumn taking hold of the land. There were holes and hollows, holding a plethora of plants. None of them meant anything to her, but they were there.

Coming upon a small pond surrounded by rocks and overhanging trees, the maned woman stopped to wet her parched throat. Lowering scarred, blackened lips to the water, she drank, dusty blue tongue dipping within the cool liquid. She barely saw the coiled form beneath the water before it lunged. Its face, mouth open wide, just broke the surface as the woman sprang backwards. It just barely missed her, but miss it did. The ash and onyx fae stumbled as she landed, but regained her footing quickly. The snake was already slithering out of the pond where it had been laying in wait. It was big. The biggest snake that Resin had ever seen. It was a mossy, yellowish green with darker markings upon it. A giant anaconda. Though it had missed her on its first try, it was intent on trying again.

She could turn and run, but the adrenaline thrumming through her veins dulled her senses and told her to stay. The reptile had frightened her with its sneak attack and that just couldn't be forgiven. It would be difficult, but she could kill it. She would just have to be quicker than the snake.

"World-breaker..."
