Gross!

She had never seen a snake so big in her entire life. Its meaty body lay all around her, its tail sliding over her feet as its eyes watched her. After her initial shock, she held very still. Staring at the strange creature. If she jumped over its body to the right, would it be speedy enough to catch her? She didn’t know how fast an anaconda could strike.

The next thing she knew, a horned bluish wolf was striking at its head. The distraction was all she needed. She dove over the side of the snake, departing the dangerous central point she had found herself in. She didn’t run, of course. Instead, she turned around and lashed out at its body. Digging her fangs and claws into the side of its scales with a vicious growl. “Iho, are these guys poisonous?” she asked, knowing his worldly knowledge would be broader than her own.
