Snakes in the Rain

Káti trotted after Ragna, risking a glance skyward to check on the weather he noticed that the clouds were growing darker and darker. It wasn't long before it started to rain and the wind picked up. It was baffling how it was bright, clear and sunny just a few hours ago and now the weather wasn't fit for travel. He sighed to himself and kept up with the other healer. He didn't care much for swamps but at least the trees provided some protection from the wind and rain.

They were about halfway through the swamp when Ragna came to a stop. Oh no, what now? He listened but couldn't hear anything unusual. "What is it?" He glanced around and jumped as a log moved nearby. He scrambled out of the way just in time to miss being caught by a massive snake.
