You're Getting Sleepy...

The python’s appearance startles the young Strix and he quickly backs away from the huge snake. Large jaws open, split tongue testing the air as the young Klein boy lets out a howl for help. Heart thuds painfully against his ribs as he prepares to rush back in, knowing that he needs to get rid of this creature to keep the island safe. Just as he moves forward, ready to attack, the black and white form of his father appears. Relief floods the boy as his sire leaps forward, sinking his teeth into the scaly creature’s back. It hisses, its powerful body immediately trying to coil around Chimera.

Strix darts in, remembering Kione’s lesson about killing large snake and how the soft plate at the base of the anaconda’s head had killed the creature once broken. Maybe he can hit it on this python! Small body leaps on the back of the snake, paws pinning its neck to ground as he sinks his teeth into the area where the soft bone is. Jaws flex to try and break it but Strix is forced to abandon his position as the snake bucks his small frame off. Darting away, Strix eyes the python, planning how he can strike and kill the snake with his father’s help.
