The Introduction 9 : The Green Serpent

  "Hey! Big guy. Be gentle with your meat. At least give us the respect we deserve since we will soon land in your belly and become part of you." Skylar shouted rudely as he steadied himself in the cage that was thrown on the hard ground carelessly in front of their destination by the colossal beast.

  In front of the caged duo was a sea of green clouds bounded to a near perfect circular form by the hard mossy ground bordering it that they are there cage was thrown on. And floating on the center of the green mass of cloud with an apparent endless surface area is a massive structure of immense size and beauty.

  The structure rooted in the clouds is a super tall circular wall, so tall that it pierced into the mysterious fog few thousand kilometers above the lake of clouds its also rooted in, and its from it bright rays of light like from the sun that illuminates everywhere descends from.

  The surface of the round wall glow and shine with sparkling colors as seen from afar. And while it also go round to encircle probably an enclosure—that is definitely a multi continental space that can't be seen since the wall is blocking the view it bounded totally—from a distance it seems fairly large like its only barely able to hold the colossal wolf beside them.

  As Skylar was marveling at the bright rays of white light which seems to originate from an enormous heavenly body hidden in the mysterious fog far above the green cloud sea, the massive creature raised its head towards the part of the mysterious fog which is above the structure and howled powerfully that an average person near the place will definitely have their entire inner ears ruptured.

  Meanwhile, the pleasant loud howl of the massive creature received as a reply two separate howls, a deeper one and a more dignified one which originate one after the other from inside the round wall.

  Wait... There are others like this guys? How many are they in that lair and can our meat really go round?... Skylar think to himself as the massive creature exchange howls for several howls that came from within the sparkling round wall—an obvious act of communication.

  And not long after, a very large stone bridge connecting the wall to the land where the massive creature stopped and its where they are, emerged slowly and magically from the bottom of the green lake of clouds.

  "Wait... So that cloud is very deep?" Skylar said aloud after realizing they and especially their colossal captor needed a bridge to get to the other side.

  A few minutes after the enormous stone bridge stabilized, the massive creature left for the other side which is the wall in a flash like it teleported, leaving behind its two captives locked away in a cage.

  "Mr rabbit, that guy has left, we should run away now and escape." Skylar advised in a hush voice; his face and attention in the direction opposite to his partner and the wall as he tried to force his way out through the gap between the bars of the large cage.

  After a while, during Skylar struggle with the bars of the cage; Mr rabbit tapped the back of his partner who is focused on escaping through the bars of the cage, but his partner focused on his battle with the unyielding bars of the cage ignored the taps.

  Again and again, Skylar was tapped until he was frustrated with his unsuccessful attempt to escape through the gap of the sturdy cage. Then he turned to face is partner the origin of the taps who is now pointing at the direction of the enormous stone bridge. And on land in front of them, backing the stone bridge, stood three serpentine creature: two white super giant Identical snakes with glossy and attractive appearance positioned side by side, and a colorful green serpent in front, taking the lead.

  "Ehm excuse me, ehm, you see... I was helping you guys check the sturdiness of your cage." Skylar with a smile on his face said after he chuckled lightly and as he faced the three new audience.

  "I think its really really sturdy, my bad." He added with an apologetic expression, trying to ease the piercing stare the three new audience invested on him.

  After a few minutes of staring and silence; the green serpent in the lead that is standing on two legs waved her green hand tattooed in bright golden color, and one of the giant white snake getting the message slithered towards the incredibly large cage which magically levitated and landed on its giant back.

  Fuck!, is that telekinesis or some sort of sorcery?... Surprised, Skylar feeling he might fall quickly grabbed tightly the bar of the cage which landed wobbly on the snake's back.

  At the same time, the green serpent taking the lead turned around and started walking towards the bridge in a bid to return to the wolf lair on the side, after which the white snake carrying the cage imprisoning the duo followed closely together with the other white snake behind them at a distance. And observing from afar, their procession looks quiet comical.

  ...

  After a short while during which Skylar never stopped yapping nonstop; the moment the white snake carrying the cage reached the stone bridge above the cloud sea, Skylar suddenly screamed out in pain as his whole body out of control landed like lightning on the base of the cage—literally squashed and glued to it.

  "Hmm... So uncle is pathetically weak."

  Before he lost consciousness, a young seductive voice echoed in his mind, sounding playful and sarcastic.

  ***

  Intense pain coursed through Skylar's body and welcome him as he regained his consciousness.

  Following this, he felt his bones get crushed, regrow; his muscles tearing, mend; and his tissue turning to mush, heal. He felt this all happen in an endless cycle as he laid on a hard floor that seem to pound him mercilessly and relentlessly from below, compounded his misery and suffering.

  He anguished and struggled. He tried to open his heavy eyes to take in his new environment and get information on his situation, but all his attempts were futile. Not a single cell of his body agree with mind.

  Someone please help me, anyone please...

  He screamed in his mind, and tried screaming out, trying to force open his tightly shut mouth which felt as heavy as a mountain.

  Why won't i just die? Why is my body regenerating fast? Why is this happening to me again? Fuck! I want to quit... He thought with resentment as he experienced a cycle of endless pain that stretch seconds into minutes.

  "Uncle, listen to me carefully. Natural energy permeates all of creations, living and non living, no, its all of creation; its ever present and submissive to those chosen by her. Uncle, she chose you and you have to communicate with her, only she can help you out..."

  Weathering his throes, Skylar heard a crisp seductive voice of a young girl which interrupted his thought and mildly soothed his mind as it lectures him.

  What energy, please just get me out of here... Not interested in what the voice instructed, he willed in his mind is so called status window, about to put an end to it all.

  "No, uncle. You can't run; you have to face this at some point, or do you plan not to return? Listen to me uncle... overcoming this is easy. Just calm your mind and feel the energy around you and within you; make them yours, dominate them, claim them, its mother's will..."

  Once again, the seductive young voice interrupting his thought and action, lectured, but this time it was laced with a slight annoyance.

  Natural energy, energy of creation, always around me, settle my mind and communicate with it... Analyzing at the recess of his mind, Skylar exerted his will to the maximum to suppress the unforgiving pain assaulting him mercilessly from all angles.

  He tried clearing his mind of all thoughts and focus his senses on things not physical in his surrounding, doing as instructed, but after a few seconds, his senses betrayed him and welcomed the dastardly torturous pain again and anew.

  However, with stubbornness and a sense of purpose, Skylar willed, proclaiming his superiority among all wills as he tried over and over until once again he lost consciousness while his unconscious body glowed brightly a green spiritual glow symbolizing the eternal cycle.

  However, this time, it was by his own will that he put away his consciousness and it was only after he felt the tender caress of the eternal mother arrest all his pain and suffering.
