Screaming serpent

The voices...the voices wouldn't leave him alone! They plagued him like the night was plaguing the lands! It didn't seem to want to end, and he swore that all the glowing crystals and mushrooms, plants, and animals were taunting him! He felt dizzy, everything seemed to blend together and melt into the darkness. He was having a hard time trying to keep his bearings with the lack of stars to guide him. Ooze was leaking from his nose and eyes and ears, making it even more difficult for him to be able to track down prey, and he was trying to figure out where he might have gotten sick from...but he supposed it didn't matter at this point. He lied down in the grass, rubbing his face against the ground as he tried to clean off some of the ooze and didn't realize there was someone watching nearby...
