Siku's Solstice [Seasonal Event]

[Xen]

To Pay Respects to Our Mother, Our Queen, Our Goddess.
-Siku's Solstice

Xen couldn’t express the sheer amount of joy he was feeling. There were this many dhani in the nest? Once Xen was more focused on his surroundings, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing--there were so many of his kind here. The constrictors despite their tendency to be rough around the edges were still dhani and the constrictors here were like family to Xen--a family of strangers. The serpent observes the festive behaviors of the constrictors and understands that not all of the constrictors were bad or vicious: maybe, he could casually talk to a constrictor one day—without receiving strange looks.

“ When will we get thisss party ssstarted?”

Xen’s curiosity takes a hold of him and he starts to look around a bit. The various colors and patterns he noticed on the bodies of different constrictors during his observation just amazed him. There were strips and diamond patterns on some constrictors while other constrictors had scales the same color as wood or stone; they probably had no problem blending in with their surroundings. Xen could only grin at the individual uniqueness each constrictor had but so few had bright colored scales or patterns on their bodies. The idea of having bright patterns would probably not have helped a large constrictors ability to camouflage itself.


“ A pink colored constrictor would be hilarious to see.”

Xen laughs at his crazy though: a pink colored constrictor, what were those odds? Xen let out a soft chuckle as he made his way through the crowd to prevent himself from looking like a lunatic. Xen would have liked to see that but he knew not all things he thought of could become true. The serpent was feeling a bit mischievous and was thinking of a few interesting tricks he could pull off in the crowd. A splash could be heard after Xen takes a step through the crowd.

“ Uh...Oh, now that'sss disssgusssting!”

There were warm spots in the chamber and Xen figured these were little area’s where other dhani may have sweated too much in, or done worse things in them. The accumulated weirdness on the floor made Xen focus less on the floor and on the familiar presence emanating from someone on the other side of the room. The serpent observes this person for a few seconds before walking over towards him or her—there weren’t as many dhani hanging around it and that side of the room seemed more spacious than the side he was currently occupying. Xen carefully walks over towards the person obscured by the dozens of bodies that block his sight; he avoided entire spots were water or whatever that warm stuff may have accumulated.

The party had been uneventful for the Viper so far, just Constrictors doing whet they do best. She sighed, the Viper wanted so much to go back to her cave and have a beauty sleep, but alas, everyone agreed this party must be attended by all residents of Zinrah. She did hope for something interesting to happen.

The arrival of Zarboneus caught her attention, the hulking fat mass of a Dhani looked displeased and grumbling. Aka snickered, she obviously knew why. She and Mamoru practically blackmailed him for something he didn't do, Zarboneus was a completely unsuspecting victim of their little shenanigans. The fat Dhani briefly glanced at both herself and Mamoru, hissing dangerously but didn't make a move against them for even he knew messing with one of the Zinrah guards was unwise.

"Eh? S-sssecret?" Though she didn't notice it at first, Mamoru's sudden question at her made her very self-conscious. He was right, some of the Constrictors, the ones in Dhani and snake form, were staring at their direction, specifically herself. "W-wha...?" Aka was bewildered. A secret, what secret? Did Mamoru know about her encounter with Ivak, did these Constrictors know? Highly unlikely as there was no Dhani around when that happened... or so she thought.

"W-w-what have I d-done? Hehe... N-nothing!" No, she couldn't admit it. It was suicide to confess she was an Azenth in Siku's Shrine filled with numerous Constrictors who didn't take kindly to fire inside Zinrah, combined with her reputation, she would be ripped apart right then and there. "S-sso, w-why are they s-ssstaring at me?" She didn't know, she really didn't know. Aka, at the moment, was not aware her body temperature was abnormally high compared to her kin.

"N-no... no... maybe they jussst don't like me... Massster, some of them do because of my fire..." She tried to seek protection by scooting closer to Mamoru, desperately trying to ignore the suspicious looks.

One of the constrictors in Dhani form were speaking hushing words before slithering to Aka and Mamoru, a frown on her Dhani mug. "Ssso, brother..." The female regarded Mamoru first before glancing at Aka "Why isss thisss sssmall fry isss hot like those cursed bronze monkey? I mean hot asss in literally hot, high temperature ssss..."

"Ah! T-that'sss uhm... ah... I..." Aka stuttered, she panicked and couldn't make up an excuse. She could have said it was because her meddling with fire, but she didn't have the wisdom to think calmly in this situation. In the back of her mind though, she was offended, the way this Constrictor corrected herself at the "hot" term made her rage, she knew she looked like a fourteen years old human girl, but she didn't have to point that out! Even indirectly, it was still rude and condescending.

"I ssswear, I don't know!" Aka put up her hands, the Constrictor didn't buy it and turned back to Mamoru for answers.

"Ssso, brother, you were the one who brought her in, right? What isss wrong with the sssmall fry? Why isss ssshe ssso literally hot?"

Literally again... this petching female.

[Kalesserimamoru]

.Mamoru curled his tail beneath him and flicked his tongue from his mouth. It was turning out to be a busy and hard season for him, and he was at war more now than ever before in his life. His body showed the scars from his fights inside and outside of the nest and his mind held the scars of the effects from prolonged use of magic. He was working himself over time and his actions had consequences on his body as well as in his life.


The trickster scanned the crowd again, still taking note of the new comers, and what the rest in the group were up too. He looked to his older sister again, seeing that Morgana had been flanked by male and female Dhani who all seemed to be having the time of their lives.


Mamoru scanned the crowd again, keeping his eyes moving on the many in attendance. Aka stood by his side, and as expected she denied having done anything. It was smart of her to play it so cool, he nor anyone else had any proof of anything that could land her into trouble.


"Fair enough Aka. But if you have..are doing ssomething. You might want to better contain..whatever it isss. Don't paint yourssself asss a target, being a Dhani you sshould know we sseek out our targetsss to the bitter end."


With Aka closer to him, the trickster smiled and looked to the crowd again. There was something up with her, he knew it, but now wasn't the time to try and pry the information out of her. It wouldn't do him any good for everyone in the nest to know her secrets, that would only loosen his control over her. Instead he would wait and learn her secret some other way..and alone. A female Dhani approached him suddenly and questioned the same thing that he had just brought up.


Mamoru flashed his yellow-green eyes towards Aka, a look telling her just how right he had been. He turned back to face the woman and slipped an arm around Aka. "Are you attracted to Aka here? Well sshe isss very pretty issn't sshe and talented I musst sssay."


While Mamoru wouldn't disrespect the female, she was wrong if she thought that she was about to get anything from him. "Go on Aka, sshow her thosse lovely legsss you have." The trickster looked back and forth between the two, now he was having fun.

[Istiavoren]

Voren looked away when one of the other Constrictors approached the guard. Although she was intrigued, it was the wrong time to find out. Voren slithered off to get more wine, determined to enjoy the party.

What in the gods names was going on here? Xen had walked into a rather odd predicament, Aka was going to show off her legs? Xen quietly stepped towards the constrictors focused on Aka for some strange reason—because she was hot? The serpent couldn’t understand these strange constrictors, it was probably best for him to avoid getting into a confrontation with these guys. Xen noticed that there was another constrictor closer to Aka, he seemed to have things under control, as his presence was keeping the other constrictors at bay...somewhat.


“ Madame Aka, pleasure in meeting you here.”

Xen walks pass the constrictors and stands on the other side of Aka with his hands in his pockets. Xen was sure to keep his posturing firm and non-aggressive to ensure that he meant no harm. The serpent grinned with his head tilted to the side, as if trying to change the atmosphere from one that was tense—into one that was casual and friendly. Xen could tell that Aka was nervous but he couldn’t sense any changes around her or the environment she was occupying: maybe, these constrictors were crazy?

"*Gulp* Y-yesss, Massster..." She nodded and looked to the ground. That went well, Mamoru didn't pry into her, however she couldn't get rid of the feeling that the Trickster was just bidding the right time to expose her secrets. After spending so much time with Mamoru, as mysterious as he was, she figured out some of his obvious traits such as his domineering and manipulative personality. His advice was absolutely right though, gaining the ire and attention of the Constrictors would risk her neck being wrung... or worst. Now, she got this annoying female to deal with.

"Are you attracted to Aka here? Well sshe isss very pretty issn't sshe and talented I musst sssay."

Aka stared in confusion mixed with bewilderment. Was Mamoru being stupid? After a few ticks, she realized he was actually helping her. He feigned ignorance by taking the figurative meaning of the 'hot' word instead of the literal one. She blushed slightly when he put his arm around her. "U-uhm..." Though the praise was just a ruse, she secretly appreciated it. After all the jeers and insults from the others, a praise coming from Mamoru was comforting.

"Are you messsing with me?" The female was clearly not pleased with Mamoru's thin-veiled ignorance. She crossed her arms under her chest and stared at Mamoru in the eye, a male treating a female like that, even for a guard, that was outrageous. But if he wanted to play that game, she would indulge him... oh yes, she would take away the precious Viper he brought in. Little did the female realize that one couldn't know how exactly Mamoru thought of Aka, she just assumed the small fry was his prized companion.

"Yesss, I will make her show that 'lovely' legsss, male! Watch me!" Suddenly, the female Dhani grabbed Aka by her waist and bridal-carried her. Her golden reptilian eyes bore deep into Aka's scarlets, the Viper was quivering with fear. "You can thank thisss guard here for thisss! I 'like' you now!" Flashing Mamoru a smirk, the Constrictor began taking Aka away.

It all happened just as Jori arrived.

"A-aaaah! N-no! N-" Aka didn't want this, what did she do to deserve this? By Ivak, what was this snake going to do to her? So many questions flooded her mind, but she couldn't do anything but thrash around. Using her reimancy was out of the option unless she wanted to be beaten to death and she didn't consider using her meager power in hypnotism.

"Ssshut up! I will ssshow you a good time..."

If no one stopped her, the Constrictor would pick a spot and do all kind of things to the Viper. She was a Viper, a puny cousin of the mighty Constrictors, the kidnapping female didn't feel bad about taking Aka against her will.

[Kalesserimamoru]

.What a party it was starting out to be, at first the trickster had been standing alone, watching his post as it was his job as a guard. Now there was a small group forming around him. The other guards must have wondered what was going on, none of them had Dhani surrounding them and taking away from their otherwise boring post.


Looks could be deceiving however, and the only person in the small gathering that he knew was Aka. The other was another viper, a friend of Aka's, and the others curious party goers looking for a good time. Mamoru wasn't sure what the female Dhani expected him to do or say, but he had no problem with her taking Aka for a good time. Maybe it would do her good, and after spending time with these Dhani, she would finally realize that Mamoru was good to her after all.


"Have fun Aka. Don't do anything that I wouldn't do." he cackled with a hiss.


A small fry she may have been, but Aka was far from helpless, she had proven that many times in the past. The trickster smiled as he leaned back against the cave wall and watched them disappear into the crowd. Maybe the other viper would sweep into the crowd and pull Aka away from her new friend, or maybe he liked to watched. Mamoru glanced at the viper, curious of what he was thinking and also of his relationship with Aka.


"Well, I ssuppossse I sshould get back to the watch. Can't have anything going wrong after all."


He wasn't sure why he looked in that direction, and after he did, the trickster wished that he hadn't. But she was there, staring right at him and lightly waving her hand to get his attention. Great, what isss it Morgana. What do you want me to fetch thisss time? Just as he started to mood, there was shouting at the entrance and two guards appeared to be either pushing a rather sickly looking male Dhani from the cave, or preventing him from getting in.


What isss thisss here?

[Istiavoren]

Voren looked around as she sipped her wine. Things were getting pretty crazy. First, a puny Viper was getting carried off by a Constrictor, then a sickly-looking Dhani was causing some trouble with the guards. She was intrigued as she watched the drama unfold.

[Soshakuakamamushi]

"M-mass...ter..." She couldn't believe it, Mamoru didn't do anything to stop the Constrictor. She pleaded to him for one last time before she realized he was not going to help her, his cackling statement made it all the more obvious. The Viper felt as if the world slowed down, with the loud music deafening everything, her struggles started to go weak. She was in an inescapable situation, the only thing she could do was just try to bear it... and perhaps, enjoy it.

"Hehehe~ Now that I look at you, you are ssso sssmall and petite aren't you, Viper?"

Aka didn't bother to answer the Constrictor. She looked at her as if she was some kind of living toy, this... this was what she got for enslaving Yuki. This time, it would not turn good like her experience with Sister Tryllissle, no, this would be a very real nightmare she must endure. From the moment she stepped into this shrine, she knew something bad was going to happen to her. How foolish of her to put her faith in the Trickster. His title alone already showed his nature.

The Dhani carried her into a rather secluded spot near one of the Shrine's corners, she roughly slammed Aka into the wall, but not violent enough to cause noticeable harm. "Ssstay there while I transssform, hehehe..." The Constrictor didn't want to play with her new delicate toy in Dhani form, her strength could unwittingly tear the human form Viper apart.

"....." The Viper's back made contact with the wall and she slid down along the wall until she was lifelessly sitting on the ground. Her lips trembled and her scarlet slits went rather empty as she saw the large constrictor in front of her transformed to her human form. Thirty ticks later, a clothless black-haired tall woman with golden slits replaced her. "Now, let'sss have sssome fun, Aaaaka~" The woman was beautiful, toned and tall like healthy Constrictors and the way she slurred her name made the Viper shuddered in fear mixed with anticipation.

The Constrictor in human form forced the Viper to stand up by grabbing her shoulder and waist, she then leaned in, her breath brushing against the Viper's neck. "I wasss right... you are warm, warm like thossse foul Myriansss... I like it, sssehehehehe..." She licked Aka's neck and the Viper shuddered, barely holding a gasp. If she had doubts, all of it was crushed by now, this one really was going to violate her whether she liked it or not.

The Constrictor licked and kissed the Viper's neck, making her way to up Aka's chin and then her small lips, she leaned in and roughly kissed the Viper. Moans of pitiful resistance were muffled as Aka found her mouth being forcefully opened and filled with this tall woman's tongue. Their height difference was very noticeable and the Constrictor had to shift to a kneeling position to save herself from back-pain.

Aka didn't bother to try pushing the woman off her, it would obviously be futile. Her back was pinned against a wall so she practically got no escape. "U...u..." A tear fell from her right eye, she didn't want this yet she cursed herself for liking it. This was like one of her dreams where she met a human woman who pretty much did the same to her. Only Aka was at fault that time. Right now, she was innocent, she didn't do anything wrong!

The Constrictor pulled away, a trail of saliva connecting their lips. With a sinister hiss-cackle, she ripped away at Aka's dress. Oh great, good thing Aka didn't decide to wear the elegant expensive dress Tryl gave her, she could always replace her plain old black robes. That point aside, she now found herself fully nude as she didn't wear any underwear as usual.

"Ku..." She trembled as her - very - dominant partner's hands traced over her bare form, the Constrictor made a smug smirk when she saw Aka's washboard chest. "Not only you are sssmall, but you are tiny here..." She hissed amusingly as she mocked Aka's buds that was her chest. The Viper snarled in anger, she hated being reminded of her child-like body, but it was quickly silenced when the Constrictor took her lips again. "A-?! hmpph..." Her scarlet slits slighty rolled back as the overwhelming sensation and pleasure of being roughly caressed washed over her.

The Constrictor didn't pull away, her hands removed Aka's hair ribbons so her twin ponytails became undone, letting her waist-length ebony hair cascading down the Viper's back. She then used her right hand to grab a fistful of Aka's hair and pulled it downward, sending the Viper's neck reeling backwards so she could mould Aka's small mouth better with her own tongue.

"U..umph..." Aka coughed, how long she had been kissing now? It felt like an eternity. If it was not for her high-lung capacity as an acrobat, she would be suffocating by now. After what felt like a day of blissful agony, the Constrictor finally pulled away and took a deep breath. It was clear the woman in pinning her was clearly enjoying this very much. It was not everyday she could get a small Dhani in human form such as this, her being a female and a distant cousin also fueled her urges further. The Constrictor would prove to the Viper that their insignificant desert meant nothing in this mighty Nest.

"N-no..." She meekly resisted, but the Constrictor wouldn't let up, her left hand traveled to Aka's most precious region and... started caressing her there, while her right held the Viper by the nape of her neck, occasionally leaning in to violate her mouth further. Nothing would disturb them, if there was any annoying pest trying to interfere, she would crush them with her bare hands.

The Constrictor noticed the Viper had no other choice so she started to enjoy it, evident by her leaking sweet moans that were music to her ears. She slightly upped the ante by entering two of her digits to Aka's nether region, eliciting a loud gasp from the Viper. The larger female was still not satisfied, she would make this Viper scream and begged her for more, breaking her mind then that petching male guard would recognize her superiority; recognize that him being a guard didn't change nothing as he was still the inferior gender.

And so they continued, with Aka's gasp and moans echoing in the particular spot they were occupying.

[Traverse]

The party was well under way, and this was simply the first day...

Mamuro, Xen:

The viper and the trickster, closer in proximity than they had been previously, watched Aka get dragged away with mixed emotions. Only a few moments after her flailing form disappeared in the mass of scaly bodies did the guards Mamuro had been watching succeed in throwing the sickly looking Dhani out, who looked resentfully at the frolicking Dhani before slither off. One of them strode over to the Trickster, shaking his head in disgust.

"Keep an eye out for that one, aye? Wanted to sssell hisss goodsss here."

The male guard started moving through the mass without explaining anything else, but a glint of glass shining in the firelight of the braziers curved toward Mamuro, and if his reflexes held the Constrictor would suddenly find himself in position of a medium sized vial of light green liquid, nearly translucent in tone.

The Vial :

The vial you have just obtained is venom from The Nightmare Bat, which when tempered and treated, can be turned into a drug with hallucinogenic properties. A single drop on the tongue is all you need for a good amount of fun, so enjoy!

Voren

"What are you looking ssso intently at, ssssissster?" The voice crept up from behind Voren's shoulder as a male Dhani, the color of dull gravel with bright green eyes slid up and around her, pressing his body close and gyrating form side to side with the music. In his clutches was a long bamboo pipe, still smoking, and he offered the tool to Voren for a hit.

oocFeel free to jump into other people's little plots, Voren, they won't bite, and I'd suggest making your posts a wee bit longer to give others something to work with!

Aka:

Well this constrictor was certainly having her way with her, wasn't she? Aka squirmed, caught somewhere between an extreme desire to escape and something...else...

A few other Dhani looked upon the scene with approving eyes, others rolling slitted eyes before moving off to continue dancing. THe constrictor just kept muttering about warmth as she trailed kisses along Aka's upper body and neck, clearly enjoying herself when she was interrupted by a loud crackling sound.

SNAP

Few Dhani would ever travel far enough North to know what the sound of ice breaking was, but that was the noise that met their eardrums of a sudden. Beneath the likeness of Siku, upon a large pillar, and raised above the seething mass of snakes stood a form that seemed to be positively glowing in an aura of...was that mist?

Rolls of smoke seemed to curl up around the woman's feet and float down to the ground below. The Dhani coalesced directly beneath her would feel a chilly fog wrap around them as the substance fell to the ground. Floating above the Dhani's head was a giant shard of ice that she had broken into two pieces, probably the source of the sound, and was now spinning around her body, each piece floating several feet away from her hands.

Once she was sure she had her audience's attention the female made both icicles explode in a fine sparkling dust that drenched the sweating occupants of the cave in a cool shower, which was much appreciated by some.

Directly after, swirling blue res shot out of her hands and she began crafting more intricate forms from her icy powers. A Massive serpent climbed toard the vaulted sealing of the underground temple only to transform into a fog that obscured the entirety of the temple, and by the time it cleared she had made an icy pillar atop the one she had stood upon and was performing complex acrobatics to the oohs and ahhs of Dhani that may have not been so ordinarily impressed: The opening show.

Additional Notes :

In addition to beverages there are plenty of things to smoke, but you'll have to see Mamuro for the venom if that's up your alley, I'll pop in again soon my lovelies, hope you're having fun!
