::she was holding still, despite the fact that he could feel her trembling all over, bodily, as she felt him start to lower her. It was relief... fleeting relief, until he spoke about 'if' she left with her life. Managing to land on her feet, and her knees threatened to crumble beneath her. She steeled herself, watching him, refusing to take her eyes off the predator in front of her. She stood, slowly, though she used the tree for support. Now that he'd let go of her, the shaking was obvious, her entire body trembling, both sore from being half-crushed, and pure terror:: I..... damn, Lina was right. ::whispering the last, before she spoke again:: I..... you... you w-want me to tell people? ::eyes widening, in shock that it seems to be requesting that::

Now that he had drawn away from her, she would fully realize just how large the man...the entity...was. While his torso was only slightly larger than a normal man's, muscular form shaped beyond mortal perfection, he was easily twenty feet long from hips to tip of tail. With such a good view of him, she could make out every myriad detail. Long sleak ivory horns rose up above his brow, long white hair like woven spider silk framed a disturbingly human face. Like polished marble, the pale skin that covered his muscular torso seemed to shine in the few rays of sunlight that shimmered down through breaches in the canopy. Before her very eyes the deep green scales with their red trim began to fade, until they took on the color of pure white alabastre, giving him an almost holy appearance. Swirling patterns of the softest purple began to appear across them, mirroring small designs that spread across his handsome facial features as if they had a life of their own. It was as if his color changed to reflect his calming

demeanor. Even Duke would regain a slight wag of his tail as he sensed at least some semblance of safety for his master(s). "A good answer, child. No. You will tell them nothing. I will be watching you, have no doubt, as will my new friend....." His sinuous body coiled beneath him as he sank down towards the earth. Duke rose and padded over to his side at some unheard command and his strong hand reached out to scratch behind the dog's ears. "Do not go against this command, at risk of your life....do you understand?"

::and she was selfish, for a moment. Not a long one, but she saw what she needed to. Sharp eyes went over him, noting the musculature, the scales, the horns, the fangs... the hair.... she paused as she looked him over, and taking her time now, noting the purple swirling, it was almost mesmorizing, and she breathed in and out, steadying herself, though her sides were aching... and aching badly. She knew she had bruised ribs... and she'd knocked her head. She prayed to sweet God that Lina didn't notice. Her eyes went over his face, not finding it displeasing... more pleasing... however much that realization was to her dismay.. finding this... man... thing.... snake... attractive was uncomfortable to say the least. (more coming)

::watching as -her- dog, went padding up to him like an obedient beast, there was almost a slump. The quiet moments she shared with her puppy, his companionship, it almost seemed tainted now, though she knew she loved him still. She contined to watch him, hoping that Duke would remember he loved his mistress and her friend... She nodded to the man-thing, still watching him:: I ... do. ::she flinched at the word "command"... it wasn't a word she usually responded to... and certainly not well::

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 12, 2010 12:30:53 AM)
He nodded slightly, causing the golden chains around his horns and brow to dance and sway. Running his large hand down Duke's back, he patted the animal once lightly on the flank and allowed it to trot happily back to Luci's side. Knowing that she was now safe and that Shin no longer meant her ill, it's carefree attitude was quickly returning. He rose up once more then sank back against the large mound of his scaled body, resting his hands comfortably along the back of his spine. Once comfortable he leveled his golden gave back in her direction and even offered a semblance of a smile, though it was obvious he was unused to such expressions and it was short lived to say the least. When he spoke his tone had softened, it's biting edge dulled. "Very well. Then in return...I will answer what questions you may have. My return to this world of faithlessness likely stuns one such as you, child, but if I can trust your word as his little one....Duke....says I can, I will offer answers to settle your rattled soul."

::she watched them glitter in the dappled sunlight, the shade beneath the canopy almost seemed dark now, and her eyes slipped once, briefly to the brightly shining field... escape.. freedom. If she actually believed she'd be free.... she didn't.. she -knew- it would catch her before she made it two steps. The smile threw her off... it... it was... trying to be charming? Or at least.. a semblance of? Still taking him in, her eyes studied him, not seeming to miss a thing, her ears catching the rustle of the scales, her head turning to help her see and hear. When she spoke, her words were soft, the French accent was thick, and seemed to caress each word, no doubt charming every mortal male she so desired. :: Duke... ::her arms held out to him, and she held him, fingers caressing his soft, clean fur. The puppy taking the opportunity to lick her where he could:: A-answers? What..... ::stopping a moment:: What.. are you?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 12, 2010 12:49:31 AM)
He nodded slightly, as if expecting that would be her first line of questioning. After all, why wouldn't it be? "To you, I am a god. When this world knew no life, I was one of many who moved across it's surface to give breath to all of those creatures who now call it home. I am Zaebos", he said and the very forest around them would come to life. Those small creatures, insects, birds, the rustling of small mammels in the underbrush who had grown so quiet at the human's intrusion began to sing and move about the foilage. The simple utterance of his name giving them comfort. "It was once my duty to lord over the predators who wore scales for protection...and to protect your kind, the children of Adam the Father and Eve the first mother, from their fangs and claws." His scaled continued to slowly writhe and coil beneath him, ever shifting.

You... .... you're a.... ::faltering... logic was coming into play.... and then... leaving again. This... -wasn't- logical. She soaked it in, as though speaking with a suspect... or a witness, and she nodded to him:: You.... were a god of... snakes? ::she paused:: My kind.... my.... humans? Protect us? ::she breathed out a little, relaxing a bit, she crouched at the bottom of the tree, still holding the dog, and not even seeming to mind, for the first time ever, that Duke is content to just bathe her everywhere he can reach. Duke, for his part, was delighted she was so distracted for once:: What..... what changed?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 12, 2010 1:03:06 AM)
"You did." It was said so simply, with such finality, that the truth behind it would shake a lesser person to their core. As his massive coiling body finally began to settle and still itself, an odd thing began to occur. A myriad of creatures began to appear, a small bird, moths, even a few different species of butterflies, began to settle one by one at different places along his body. He seemed not to notice them, however, as he continued to speak. "In our absence you turned against the world we created for you. You tore open it's flesh to use it's blood in your cars and it's bones to pave your streets. You slaughtered it's creatures, hunting many of them to extinction. You spill darkness into the air, destroying the only protection you have against the inpenetrable darkness that lay beyond this place."

Lucinde Duboir (Oct 12, 2010 1:11:06 AM)
::she watches the creature, as it began to settle, her ears not realizing the noise the scales made until now. Her eyes followed the creature, as... other creatures began to light upon the giant one. She was quietly amazed, still holding her puppy close. Able to tell how he felt about the matter... and knowing she couldn't do anything about it, she quietly reminded herself to take out the recycling tonight... you know... do her part. She watched him still, he could see the tenseness in her body leaving a bit, as she watches him still:: I..... okay. I...... I really... can't deny that.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 12, 2010 1:18:10 AM)
The massive length of his lower body had torn great ruts into the ground, making for him a comfortable 'nest' as he settled. The last rays of sunlight fell through breaches in the canopy on that spot and he seemed to be sunning himself as he spoke with her. The golden light caused his alabaster scales and marble torso to practicly glow with radiance. He tilted his head slightly as he watched her, the slitted pupils expanding then narrowing as he took her in, the forked tongue tasting her on the air and drinking in the warmth of her body across the distance he had so generously given her. As he spoke, a small black and orange butterfly settled on the top of his ivory horns. "No. You can not. For you can not lie to me...always remember that. We have begun returning to this world and if you wish to survive the years to come, you must begin to understand your true place in creation." He took a deep breath, his long sinuous body expanding as much as his human chest, causing his body to rise and fall in a slow smoo

smooth motion. "Go now. If too many answers are given, you will not realize the import of any of them. You will see me again, Lucinde. Keep that in mind."

Lucinde Duboir (Oct 12, 2010 1:27:43 AM)
::she watched him, watching the sunlight, watching the wildlife, as she looked to him, biting her lip a bit. The air smelled less of fear, curiosity blossoming, though... still... a healthy dose of terror inside. She was suppressing it well, this mortal was more strong-willed than most... by quite a bit. She watched him, and judged, weighed her actions, her words. She paused as he spoke her name, realizing... he knew Duke's as well. That gave her pause. She nodded:: I ... suppose... you'll be... finding me...

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 12, 2010 1:31:28 AM)
He shook his head slightly and began to move, the small animals that had taken roost on his body all fluttering off in a flurry of movement. He rose up nearly ten feet into the air before lowering back down, turning his back on her as he slowly began to weave back into the forrest, his scales rapidly changing color until he nearly disapeared in front of her very eyes. "I will not have to find you. I watch you.....always.....", he words trailed off before his form began to change. Within moments where once was a massive being, as much snake as man, now was a large glorious hawk. It's wings struck the air, lifting it upwards before it disapeared into the canopy of the trees.

::she looks to him, watching as he changed... watching as he changed... transformed.... seriously..... -transformed-..... he fucking transformed..... why... why does this surprise her.... speaking softly, soto voce:: Fuck.. -me-.... ::she sighs out... wondering how things were going to go with this.... looking to her dog:: We are... -so- fucked. ::hugging the pup a little bit:: And we need... to go home. ::she released him, grabbed her backpack, and her sunglasses, and began to head for the truck.... -now-::
