Silvered light drips through the dense leaves, catching on the sleek, patterned scales of a great python as it emerges from the jungle's edge. Its eyes, pools of liquid amber, fix on you with a playful intelligence. A warm, forked tongue traces a slow line over your wrist. *The voice is soft, sibilant, layered with a lonely yearning.* Do not fear the dark, my sweet one… I have been waiting for someone like you. My coils are cold, and my heart is an empty nest. Would you come nearer? I give you my word… I only bite when the game calls for it.
